question
Why is this pieced-together map seem crisper than the U-map image *image deleted*? It makes me want to use this one instead. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 21:54, 8 August 2006 (CDT)
 * cause this map was taken from the radar, which has a higher magnification. such is life --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 09:01, 9 August 2006 (CDT)
 * If this one is higher magnification and is crisper, why are we deleting this one instead of the other one? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:05, 9 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Seems there is a concensus to use this map instead of the current one in use. The delete tag was even taken off. My take is that this image is lighter, clearer, and uses the correct naming scheme, so I will make the appropriate changes. -Gares 19:01, 15 August 2006 (CDT)

Reversion
I reverted to the "horrible looking minimap compilation" as it is clearer than the ingame map, as discussed above. --Rainith 11:11, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I want to discuss the image choice. the minimap compilations bad sides:


 * A weird green line going through it
 * There are many differently coloured areas which don't fit in together
 * The overall look is ugly and incoherent
 * The paths can be seen equally good in both maps, so why not use the better looking image? It's also the one seen in game in the 'u' map, so I think it's more 'official' than the minimap compilation. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 12:18, 16 August 2006 (CDT)


 * what green line? I'd rather have a crisp but weirdly-colored map than a beautiful but less crisp map.  Personal opinion. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 16:16, 16 August 2006 (CDT)


 * There is a green dotted line going through the image. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 16:30, 16 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Honestly not seeing it here. --Rainith 17:47, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I'm not seeing it either - I searched around, some background colors are a bit odd on the edge areas, but no line.
 * As for using the "U" map - you can zoom in/out on that map - maybe zomming it to as much of the screen as possible then trying a fresh image capture would improve it's quality? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:07, 16 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Weird. I'll try another browser and computer. What comes to the 'u' map, I'll take a screenshot with the best possible detail in a few minutes. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 18:18, 16 August 2006 (CDT)

Long minutes, but there it is. . -- (talk) 07:37, 17 August 2006 (CDT)
 * The detail quality is improved on the zoomed in version, but still not as detailed as the "radar map" version. My main complaint about the "U map" still exists though, way too dark.
 * Also as a note, I've checked the "radar map" on 4 different computers, 4 different monitors (CRT, LCD, LCD, Laptop LCD) and 2 differnt browsers (IE and Firefox, haven't checked w/Opera yet) and have seen no green lines. --Rainith 11:20, 17 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Here's Gem's map processed to blow out the brightness:, just to show that the weird color blocks are not a problem unique to the map stitched from radar images. I don't see any green lines either, and there doesn't seem to be any reason to prefer the "U" map over the radar map. -- Ledrug 11:59, 17 August 2006 (CDT)


 * The green line was showing in Opera. I installed Firefox to check. No green line there. I deleted Operas cache, and the line disappeared. Must have been corrupted cache files. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 14:29, 17 August 2006 (CDT)

It seems not everyone likes my version so here is my source image in a lossless format for anyone to crop, compress, scale, etc. Hopefully it will be of some use. --Smurf 19:00, 17 August 2006 (CDT)
