User talk:Pyron Sy/Cartography Made Easy

Thanks
You probably get this a lot... but I just want to say thank you for making this mod. It single-handedly transformed getting the carto title from a chore into something that was actually fun to do. Great job! -- Hong 08:09, 19 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Ditto. I don't know how anyone managed to get carto before your mod.  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 12:30, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

texmod cart prob

 * Cant change the map, everytime I load it the map is the same, no red stuff

Checksum?
There's a couple of threads out there regarding viruses that seem to be associated with either texmod or CME. It appears very likely that heuristics are causing these false positives, rather than any real threat (in other words, texmod and CME are or create files that do things similar to known viruses).

The wiki has posted checksums for TexMod, so that folks can be sure that they have a good copy. I'm wondering if you could run an MD5 checksum program and post the results here. Thanks! &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 12:48, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * HashCalc is a good CheckSum program. -- [[Image:User_Lacky_Blue_Paw_Sig.png|15px|link=User_talk:Lacky|My Talk]] Lacky 06:00, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * There are many programs that offer the feature; I am hoping that one of the original developers can post their checksum, so that the rest of us can be sure the exe we run has received their blessing. &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 04:56, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

My exploration
Even with the latest update to fill in all known explorable areas I still have few that I've uncovered but apparently others haven't, so here they are:

3 spots in Elona

Jade Flats and Eredon Terrace

Shiverpeak Arena

Nahpui Quarter

Shing Jea Arena

Crystal Overlook
Ive been tooling around gathering Cartography and went to 8-man the crystal desert when i saw that aproxamately half of Crystal Overlook is covered in your space-filling texture, an area to the SE has a small edge covered as well but its of less important concern considering the cartography credit



-- AaronDemoncia 21:11, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It looks fine to me. Are you using any other mods that may be conflicting with it?--[[Image:User Pyron Sy sig.png|19px| ]] Pyron Sy 21:39, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

--- no ive just got your combined Cartography mod, and before i went to that thinking it was the split mods i had all 3 seperatly, so its probably just the fact i havent cleared the area yet? AaronDemoncia 22:24, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

-- when i physically went to the zone it fixed, its not anything that needs fixed, sorry ;_; AaronDemoncia 23:31, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Canthan Exploration
So in my mapping of cantha, I've noticed a few places that are missing, most notably:

Southern part of Imperial Sanctum (accessible by shadow stepping into raisu palace)

Eredon Terrace (huuge section, approximately 0.6% or 0.7% appears as black and unexplorable with the mod)

After completing Tyria with the mod, I was a little surprised to see these large places were missed since the Tyria version was VERY comprehensive. I'm using the complete package if you're wondering. Oh, also in Tyria the island corresponding to the old Random Arena staging area appeared as a black unexplorable region.207.216.235.240 09:14, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Mediafire having problems?
I recently tryed to download the full verson and the indevidual versons of the mod. However, Mediafire doesnt seem to load the download. I am using IE9. Any help? --Lotus 19:42, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Or of another wiki user could upload a mirror, that'd be great. --Lotus 19:52, 10 April 2011 (UTC)


 * That sounds like a problem with IE9 working correctly with Mediafire. You could wait for Mediafire to figure it out, wait for Microsoft to patch IE9, or, for this one situation, use a different browser to download it.


 * (By the way, I would have trouble trusting a copy; I'd have to assume that neither the uploader nor their computer has compromised the security of the file.) — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 20:31, 10 April 2011 (UTC)


 * MMk, I'll try to install firefox just for the DLing. --Lotus 20:34, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Good luck (btw: I suspect that, for a one time effort, Google's browser or Opera might be appropriate, too.) — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 20:37, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Sitting at the site with Firefox 4. Same thing as IE. Does it work for you? Lotus 20:42, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It worked fine for me just now with Chrome. --Valshia 20:59, 10 April 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem with FF3.6. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 21:03, 10 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Whoops, missed your chrome note. Cool; glad that worked! — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 21:03, 10 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Weird. It doesn't work with Chrome either. It appears to be a problem with my computer and the website.. -sigh- --Lotus 02:13, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I've tried with all IE, FF, and chrome, and have had no issues downloading it.--[[Image:User Pyron Sy sig.png|19px| ]] Pyron Sy 02:47, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah It's deffinately a problem with my computer than... Cant figure it out though. It worked before... --Lotus 03:09, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Have you checked your firewall settings? That's sounds like the most likely source. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 03:23, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Turned firewall completly off then went to webpage for ~15 seconds. Didn't even give me the "Download Now!" link. It's just stuck on the loading bar. --Lotus 03:31, 11 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Ouch. Okay, next thing to try are anti-virus and javascript suppressors (a lot of DL sites depend on scripts to work). I use NOSCRIPT for FF and there are any number of sites that get badly nerfed b/c of it, particularly the file sharing ones. They don't usually give an error message, but they do show the same symptom: a progress bar that never fully loads. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 04:00, 11 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Not running anything with addons, and I don't think you can turn off MSE.

Thanks
100% Tyrian cartographer. I also got looted of all my valuables. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gungraave (talk &bull; contribs) at 00:08, 3 June 2011 (UTC).


 * Thousands of folks use CME (and TexMod) successfully without being looted; what evidence convinces you that those are the source of the break in your security? — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 01:02, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

If You're Active
I have a couple spots preventing me from Master of the North and I was wondering if you could shed some light on how to get them. Here's the image, I can't seem to get any of them no matter how much I scrape! 999 Points blows, and I really don't want to do a 500 foe vanquish. Thanks in advanced, and I love the mods, helped me a TON :D ~Farlo Talk 22:43, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * All of those spots are just hitting the sweet spot on a wall. Can't really give any concrete tips. But, I've got more spots than that left unmapped on one of mine and still have the 1000. Might want to recheck the other zones to make sure there's not an easier spot you missed out on.--[[Image:User Pyron Sy sig.png|19px| ]] Pyron Sy 22:51, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow, you are still active, thanks for the quick reply. Besides one other sliver in Ice Cliffs I just noticed, it's all mapped.  I assumed a sweet spot thing was the issue, but was wondering if any of those spots rang any bells as having a particular spot or annoyance with them.  I'm re-scraping them all, and after about 10 minutes, still can't get the one by Longeye's.  Oh well, I'll keep trying :D. ~FarloUser Farlo Triad.png Talk 23:06, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

(Edit conflict)
 * The orientation of your toon matters: I believe I've found 8 different directions that can uncover what appears to be a generous bit. Sometimes you have to look askew, instead of directly at the dark spot.


 * If, for some reason, you haven't done WiK, the Trial of Zinn is the most useful opportunity for portal jumping, allowing you to uncover significant bonus areas.


 * Finally, if you post one/more of the spots giving you trouble, legions of ppls should be able to provide you with specific tips. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 23:10, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Didn't know direction mattered o.0, so weird. Sadly, I have done that, but I didn't know there was any black to be found around there.  I did post an image of the troubling spots in my first post, but oddly enough, accidentally running through the portal to Raven's Point triggered the last tiny bit I needed.  Thanks anyways, saved myself from a terrible hour and a half :P ~FarloUser Farlo Triad.png Talk 23:19, 28 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Pyron & I will take credit for uncovering it — you are quite welcome ;-) — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 00:20, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't do it, don't blame me!--[[Image:User Pyron Sy sig.png|19px| ]] Pyron Sy 01:41, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
