I think you have probably guessed what’s next. Most of the polygons that rise above the ground plane are selected. We can get pretty darn close by drawing a selection fairly close to the “ground”. Next, I wanna view this from a side view, and deselect polygons that a player character can walk on. Let’s use the east side as our example.Īlright, great. I start by selecting all the polygon faces of the area I want to work on first.

The answer requires a bit of map surgery within our 3D suite. How are we going to use this mess to get at our truly pathable terrain…? At least I can see the tunnels more clearly! But there’s still the problem of those big spaces. I don’t think a zone exists in FFXI that has a starker contrast between its pathable terrain and its in-game map. So, what happens when you have an incredibly complex zone with an inversely simple map? A lot of you would have probably been happy with that! But it defeated one of the core values of the project: to recreate the existing maps in high-definition and remain true to the character of FFXI. Sure, it would have been easy and even faster to make vectorized, minimalistic, almost futuristic-looking versions of the maps. One of our biggest goals with Remapster is to make the absolute best and most accurate community versions of the zone maps that we can while still adhering to a style that pays homage to the reference material. We’ve come across some wild stuff while working on this project, but nothing prepared me for just how challenging some of the maps were going to be to not only recreate (and stay true to the legacy map style), but to actually make them useful for players. The maps should load properly without needing to log out and load the game back up.Īnd that’s it! Enjoy!

Create a “data” folder and inside create a “DATs” folder.Find the addon folder for XIPivot in Windower or Ashita.Download the DATs from the remapster_maps releases page.Extract the zip and copy the xipivot folder to your Windower or Ashita addons folder.Head over to the XIPivot releases page and download the latest version for Windower or Ashita.It’s an addon for Windower and Ashita both, and it’s a godsend for loading modded DATs into the game without worrying about game updates steamrolling them. We *highly* recommend XIPivot for adding modded DAT files to the game. The game files have been packaged such that they are not split into separate archives. You can download the latest image files and game files (DATs) for pack 1 and pack 2 on the releases page of our github repository.

We really can’t stress enough how much your encouragements, suggestions, and fixes drive this project. We’ve gotten lots of feedback from you all on fixes for maps and we’ve implemented them! Thank you for your help in bringing this vision to life. We’ve been working hard on map pack 2 for the last 2 months and we’re finally ready to release! We also have made some fixes to the maps in map pack 1, driven by our own testing but most importantly by YOU.
