Well I'm a new player to UD, just started over couple of weeks ago, so I guess you could call me a newbie. One of my favourite things to do from past MMORPGS were to map out what hasn't been mapped, and UD was no exception. Here's the full map of UD, 10k boxes that were pieced together box by box.
It's a bit like putting together a 100-piece jigsaw puzzle, and it took me roughly 30 seconds per piece, which included the time taken to take the screenshot, crop out the map portion, and stick it together in Microsoft Paint.
The map is really quite small if you see the JPG file, as it's very blurry and it's impossible to distinguish the names of each tiny box. I was hoping that the PNG file would be somewhat clearer, but it barely was. Anyway, I thought I'd post it up here to see what the reactions of people were to it.
Some facts about the map.
-Took me about 2 days of free time after homework and such to map it.
-Done only in MS Paint. I did have Photoshop, Inkscape and Gimp 2 at my disposal, but I figured MS Paint would be fine for a cut-&-stick project like this.
-It's actually quite clear if you do have the file, maybe I'll post up a download link in this post if there's a request for it.
-I'm not too sure what I made this map for, it was orginally intended to be so that I could locate where the hell my account was, and find out a good "HQ" but I realized it could be used to locate important resource builds and such.
-Then after the bad graphics of JPG and the discovery of a full map with colour-coded TRP's somewhere through a link on the UD Wiki, I thought that this was a bit of a waste, since it was too small to actually see each street.
-I guess you could count each tiny square on the map and plot how many squares it would take you to reach another point. To do that, however, you would need to know exactly where you were among the 10k squares.
-All in all, it's prob. a failed project that I felt didn't really suceed as I thought it would. Nevertheless, since it took me a considerable amount of free time, I thought I'd post it here.
