Contemplating redrawing, et cetera, Dwarf Home, Crestar

[McDeath]

Cool, I'll check those out.

[D.J.]

Some of the level 02 maps have effects on them now, but they aren't in the zip file.

Effects are the walls look like walls, and shadows on the object and monsters. Well, some older monsters are represented by orange circles. Those I'll have to update as well.

Level 2:
http://crestofastar.drivein-jim.net/dwa ... -2-map-2d1

Has no large picture to: http://crestofastar.drivein-jim.net/dwa ... dh2d01.PNG


---------------------------------------
On level 3:
http://crestofastar.drivein-jim.net/dwa ... vel03.html

The big picture thumbnail link doesn't link to http://crestofastar.drivein-jim.net/dwa ... -3-map-c05

The small 3C 05 link does though so its not a huge deal breaker since you can still get there.


---------------------------------------
Level 5:
5G -5 has no links. The small 5G -05 actually goes to the 5G 05 map (as in positive) The large picture link just 404s

It does exist with a little bit of typing the link in the address bar so I did eventually find it: http://crestofastar.drivein-jim.net/dwa ... -map-5g-05


http://crestofastar.drivein-jim.net/dwa ... -5-map-5k6
didn't link
http://crestofastar.drivein-jim.net/dwa ... dh5k06.PNG

5E -07 page has wrong map (it shows Level 7, map 7F 04)
5E 07 page has wrong map (it shows Level 7, map 7I 03)

Note: the page address reads correct but wrong maps:
http://crestofastar.drivein-jim.net/dwa ... 5-map-5e07
http://crestofastar.drivein-jim.net/dwa ... -map-5e-07


---------------------------------------
Level 6:
both of these have no links or page it seems: (just small thumbnails)
6K 0
6J 0


---------------------------------------
The rest seems fine. Only other small thing would be making sure room numbers on each level overview match out. ie. Lvl 7 states 11 rooms are mapped but when you count the pictures it appears to be 14. Not huge since it does declare that lvl 7 is not entirely mapped yet.

Hope that helps a little.

Cheers

[D.J.]

Thanks. I'll check into that.

[D.J.]

5E both were wrong map files, fixed. The articles didn't exit. They do now.

Level 2 and level 5 were bad link paths to the png. Fixed.

Level 3 works for me from my hard drive, so I reuploaded the level3 html page after checking to make sure those went to the correct page.

5G should work now.

Ack ! Those two on level 6, you are correct, the links aren't there. I'll work on that next.

Thanks !

[D.J.]

Level 6 fixed now. And the 5E ones as well. Lacked 4 articles, those are done and the correct maps are there to.

Thank you very much.

[D.J.]

I added a few more maps with effects for level 2. There should now be 21 new maps total. That leaves 21 more to be updated.

Level 2 doesn't currently have a zip file of maps. I have room descriptions to remove all of the html for these maps to make into a large text file, and I'm only about two-thirds done.

Edit: Oops. Level 2 does have a zip file, but these updated maps aren't in it. The rest of the above is correct.

[D.J.]

All but 7 maps done on level 2 with effects added. Thanks for stopping by.

[D.J.]

All level 2 maps are updated with effects, some debris added to some maps. The zip download file is now 114 megabytes up form 89 megabytes.

[McDeath]

Ho Ho! I noticed you started to redraw level 1. Nice. (not that I didn't like the blue, but its cool you're getting all levels to be on the same graphical page). Cool. I'll be checking this out more as you update.

Cheers

Redrawing them all was my intent, but real life tends to slow me down. Or I get distracted with a different mapping project. I was out camping this past week so no mapping then...

That '15%' shouldn't be in there, looks like a bad link.

Link should have 300 where it has 15%. Corrected and uploaded. Thanks !

[McDeath]

Seems there is only one link here that isn't working:
http://crestofastar.drivein-jim.net/dwa ... vel06.html

Clicking the thumbnail

goes to

However, this page with links:

Works fine:

Downloads:
Seems to be an issue with Level 4 (says broken archive). I tried several times but it ends up broken:

Not all rooms in 4A are detailed, no maps detailed below 4th level. No maps in 4B are detailed.

Level 4A and 4B maps and text. 129 maps 71 megabytes

A question about the entrance:
http://crestofastar.drivein-jim.net/dwa ... dwarf-home

Was this detailed more?

[D.J.]

link fix in progress.

That is more detail on the entrance than I had in the distant past. I am thinking about making it more detailed.

And link is fixed.

At the bottom of this page is my original sketch map of the entrance to the Dwarf Home valley. The Endless Stairs came out somewhere on the top of those high ridges. Since I rearranged the terrain, this sketch is no longer accurate. I just added this sketch back to this site.

http://crestofastar.drivein-jim.net/art ... e-area-map

[D.J.]

level 4 zip file should be 71 megs, but only 3 megs got uploaded.

Re-uploading now.

Done. Should be fixed now.

Edit: And the Dwarf Home entrance map has a new look. I had been working on it, and forgot to finish it and upload.

[McDeath]

Cool. Can't wait to see it.

[D.J.]

I hope to get more of Dwarf Home done this year. But I'll see what later.

[D.J.]

I have removed all 3 versions of Dwarf Home. I am redrawing them under Crestar of a Star, but not as sub-domains as they were.

I have part of level 1 mostly done. Probably have that up this week. All new maps.

[D.J.]

And here we go. Level 01, 14 maps. I already had most of these done.

1) No room descriptions.

2) Some of the maps need work on the doors, contents, and text.

https://crestofastar.drivein-jim.net/gr ... vel01.html

[D.J.]

The thumbnails at the below link for Dwarf Home level 01 are now clickable.

https://crestofastar.drivein-jim.net/gr ... vel01.html

[D.J.]

I have added any links needed for each Dwarf Home map on level 01 so that a map that connects to 1 or more maps, there is a link on that map's article/page. No need to do a search for the next part.

[D.J.]

I am working on doors so there is a clear path around, but still keeping secret doors handy. Live monsters that can leave or enter, behind secret doors are undead, traps, etc. things that don't require food and water.

If you ever find anything bonkers with my pages, or sites, please let me know, and I will endeavor to fix it.

[D.J.]

Part B and Part C have been updated, added traps, a few monsters, and some treasure chests. Most of it on Part C.

Part C room 23 has tatami mats and cushions. 26 has barricade spikes and mold. The corridor between room 26 and 27 has been altered.

edit: I keep forgetting.

The arrows are the direction of the door movement. A push plate or a pull handle. If you don't see a door on the map, it is the direction to push the secret door to open it.

[D.J.]

Details are left for the user. Entrance is on Map B.

Here is a screenshot of all of level 2. I might add 3 maps on the left, west, side. Different floor types, different footing.

Some are dirt, some are sand.

[D.J.]

A bit worn out, went to a convention last weekend, and my feet hurt. I have to do some things around the house. I'll try and get back to mapping 2nd weekend in March, 2022.

[D.J.]

Dwarf Home entrance page, area maps, and links to the Dwarf Home thumbnail pages. Levels 1 and 2 are uploaded. Not all have room descriptions.
