Hey everyone! I'm working on an on-screen map, which I've wanted since day 1, but SE seems to think we don't need one. It's pretty rough right now and only works for Bastok Mines and Port since the origin (0, 0) seems to change for different maps. I went out to North Gusta and my marker was off the screen >< Anyhoo here's what I have so far: -- FFXI coords origin at H-I, 6-7 (at least for Bastok Mines it is)
-- each grid point is 40 apart, border is 18 pixels
-- Global Variables, Initializations ------------------------------------------
mapSize = 512
mapScale = 1
coordPerSquareXI = 40
coordPerSquareMap = 31
borderSize = 18
mapOriginX = 100
mapOriginY = 0
xiOriginX = mapOriginX + ((( mapSize + ( coordPerSquareMap )) * mapScale ) / 2 )
xiOriginY = mapOriginY + ((( mapSize - ( coordPerSquareMap * 3 ) ) * mapScale ) / 2 )
markerSize = 8
transparency = 64
mapDir = "map/"
mapName = "ea_0.jpg"
markerName = "marker.png"
-- Functions ------------------------------------------------------------------
function map2ScreenCoord(mapX, mapY)
local retX = xiOriginX - ( markerSize / 2 )
local retY = xiOriginY - ( markerSize / 2 )
retX = retX + ( mapX * coordPerSquareMap / coordPerSquareXI ) + 2
retY = retY - ( mapY * coordPerSquareMap / coordPerSquareXI ) - 2
return retX, retY
end
--- Main (kinda) --------------------------------------------------------------
mapObj = Graphics.primitive_CreateObject()
Graphics.primitive_SetPosition( mapOriginX, mapOriginY, mapObj )
Graphics.primitive_SetSize( mapSize * mapScale, mapSize * mapScale, mapObj )
Graphics.primitive_SetColor( transparency, 255, 255, 255, mapObj )
Graphics.primitive_SetTexture( mapDir .. mapName, mapObj )
Graphics.primitive_SetVisibility( 1, mapObj )
markerObj = Graphics.primitive_CreateObject()
screenX, screenY = map2ScreenCoord( FFXI.player_GetXPos(), FFXI.player_GetYPos() )
Graphics.primitive_SetPosition( screenX, screenY, markerObj )
Graphics.primitive_SetSize( markerSize, markerSize, markerObj )
Graphics.primitive_SetColor( 255, 255, 255, 255, markerObj )
Graphics.primitive_SetTexture( mapDir .. markerName, markerObj )
Graphics.primitive_SetVisibility( 1, markerObj )
-- Main while loop
while true do
screenX, screenY = map2ScreenCoord( FFXI.player_GetXPos(), FFXI.player_GetYPos() )
Graphics.primitive_SetPosition( screenX, screenY, markerObj )
Windower.script_Sleep(50);
end
Test mapsI used the maps from FFAssist (converted from GIF to JPG) and put them in a subdir "map" below the scripts directory. Haven't figured out a way to auto-load maps on zoning since there is no function that I can find to tell me the player's current zone *nudge nudge Tiny* -psy |

I'll add it to the list of things to add. I should be able to get to your request in about 11 years -_-

If you're looking for maps, which I would suggest, I think that FFXI atlas is pretty darn good, I'm using that for my map....
But this script is kickass. How did you set
that little sucker, to go over the screen Map Obj?

in the mean time you could pull the zone name from chat.
Have you looked over the ffassist map ini? I know it has the zone points for every zone.

How did you set that little sucker, to go over the screen Map Obj? Oh, since the map is transparent and the marker is solid, the marker can be seen independent of which one is on top. Or it could be that the marker is drawn second ^^ -psy |

The format for entering new areas always seems to appear as "--- Area: <areaName> ---" So assuming you captured this in a string "chatLine", you can use string.sub(chatLine,11,string.len(chatLine)-14) to strip off the wrappers and just return the area name. According to the Lua 5.0 PDF I downloaded, string.sub() has the start of the string at 1 instead of 0 unlike other languages I'm used to. You might want to check the numbers, but I think they're correct. ^.^;a On another note: Probably should consider coordinate ranges for areas that have multiple maps. |

using the ffassist ini for mini maps would make this extremely easy...you know...if you could get the the zone id >.>; On another note: Probably should consider coordinate ranges for areas that have multiple maps. ffxi uses 3D bounding boxes to determine which floor you're on, would be as simple as checking to see that your absolute x/y/z coords fall into one of these boxes to determine which map to show |

ZONE ID IS IMPLIMENTED AND WILL BE IN THE NEXT VERSION!
lol.
You can expect a new version after christmas. I should have some time to debug new features and make a release. The delay is partly at the request of starhawk, who is doing the memory stuff for me. He is busy moving into a new house. As such, he had to take a break from writing code for me.
Another thing that would be useful for minimap stuff is zooming. The windower API doesnt do this, but I am considering implimenting my own graphics stuff anyway. This would mostly be to allow users to draw text on top of textures and so on.

I think we'd all be happy with an imcomplete release just as much as a complete one so long as the new memlocks are in there for broken functions. *cough*distance*cough* ^^

Now now, we all know the pitfalls of releasing obviously busted code. The poor bug reports forum would get flooded. I'm afraid that I'm going to have to pull one of those "it will be done when it's done" things on this one. I wouldn't worry about it though, most of the code I wanted to add for the next release is in already, and just needs to be debugged.

-ahem- ffassist -ahem- me and my friend went through and found the link m(_ _)m yea totaly fun we both have ffassist...one problem we found...it doesnt work in windower  crappy thing but they will give you maps that you can add to this code for your on screen maps. |

I'll try to get zoneid in asap for this one.
