SPS map making question.

I understand that you need the entire surface map of which ever area you are trying to use. I also understand that the map needs to be chunked into 500x500 pieces ALONG with the full map.


My question is how are we supposed to position the 'Full Map' on a black canvas? What I mean is how are we supposed to know how much 'space' needs to be around the map itself. Is there a guideline or any way to pull the data?

I have made this using '100%' world map…. I doubt I used the right zoom %.


I have removed all unneeded 'To next level' icons and rebuilt the areas that had them and placed ladders where they need to be as well. Lol. I am just unsure about initial positioning. ALSO PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL LOCATIONS WITHIN THE IMAGE ARE IN THE CORRECT SPOT TO EACH OTHER. :unsure:

I don't know quite know what the question is, you seem to babble on about ladders and next level stuff which i can't work out whether it is relevant

The ladders are relevant.. when making SPS maps, if the icons disturb your productivity then you have to crop them out..

Anyway in this case there was no need to remove the ladders, he only removed the text I assume which is correct.
There is no "RULE" to how much space can be around the map.. you can join maps, place pieces wherever you want within the black canvas. All maps have to be at 100% zoom though, when taking screenshots.

That's it. And Iunno if its the forums that is messing with the zoom but those icons are sooooooooo tiny I can barely see them so I assume that the zoom isn't 100%?

Why are you both bumping an outdated thread(yes out dated is the 29th), Everything has been taken care of and there is another thread in the SPS section with half of the maps already converted.(Don't have time to finish the rest)

Also the location of the ladders themselves are not relevant. The space is just needed which means(@Johnny) that the ! that connect maps have to be removed. As long as the SPS can see the ground where the symbol is then it should be ok because you know where the ladder is yourself and SPS doesn't handle that anyways.

ggzz yes the map above is 100% zoom from the RS map. The forums changes the quality. Also you are correct that the "pieces" of land can be placed any where on the canvas to save space.

I wouldn't say it is outdated if it is left unanswered, I was just trying to help… :crying:
