hi there, today I was working on a Nether Subway Map with all the roads, portals, and public places. it turns out to be even more work than building something in minecraft, so whatchareckon: keep on going with the map, or leave it at this? RiverSpring.
This is fantastic River, thank you thank you. I think the entire community would love for this to be a "living" map. I also figure that if people link their Nether portals to the "subway", that kind of makes the portals public in some sense. We all have the ability to put Lockette doors around our Nether portals if we want, though it may be prudent to ask before labeling it on a map. Btw... >.>
the purple dots are portals, the ones with labels are those that might serve a public use. at least that's how I've set it up. PS: just let me know if I accidentally added a label to something that has no public use other than being a portal.
Definitely update if you feel like it, i keep finding myself referring to this when travelling around vanilla, really useful.
Happy to make my portal public. It's to the middle of the ocean, but it is close to some landmasses (and I've provided boats for public use)
I'm far out on Purple, outside of the current map's boundaries. Should I update this map? May I inquire what tools you used, RiverSpring?
you guys are making me want to play on vaniller lol, but the thought of starting over and creepers is killing me
I'd be willing to help you out. It's not uncivilized. Nether has lots of different kinds of farms and grinders nearby.
How long does it take to travel through the nether on the highways? Btw thanks, that is a generous offer and I am grateful, but I am a veteran minecraft player just drop me off anywhere in minecraft and I will have a castle in no time ;p
Oh bother... did anyone save this offline? Seems the image hosting site that River used has dropped the image.
I'd be happy to gather coordinate information and do another map if folks wanted. I can store coordinate info on a Google Doc we can all edit/see and then we can use the info to make another map. Possibly I could even use the Google Maps API to draw a map for us. Unsure, but possible.
If you are thinking about google maps api, you must check out leaflet javascript package for mobile-friendly interactive maps: http://leafletjs.com/ It's the same stutt dynmap and the hdmap is using. A quick start guide: http://leafletjs.com/examples/quick-start/
If I can write a functional overlay for the maps Dynmap and HDmap are using, can it be added to the play.intersnout.com maps? Or should I focus on adding/overriding on my own web service? Also, seeing that the Nether hdmap shows the network and may just need annotations, I may focus on that first from a programmatic standpoint.
