The old one.

Good thing you just forgot to pay for it and didn't actually get a sex change/sell real estate. Had me worried for a sec.

Thats what Yoshi told me as well.

Yoshi told me he was secretly a magician when I asked him why IP always disappears. :C

Technically wouldn't he be the smiling, pretty woman wearing the sparkling dress?

I think we can take off the domain expired notice

I think this pales in comparison to the lengths others have gone to.

5 minerals and a dollar.
I can has?

that's relative to the person... moose likes to keep his personal life personal ;o

You posted it in the Inner Sanctum, so only Moose, DTBK and Doodan should have it. (and me XD)

I also want to send you SMSs about how sexy you are D:

Aww. Doodle removed it. :C

I'll join you. Are you going to be on msn more often too? Or do you use IRC/AIM/Yahoo?

If you are interested. They come out as 128x128 size (normal minimap size) like the one seen in this proggy screenshot. Adding units and stuff to it isn't hard, either. Works for all map sizes. I can't confirm 100% minimap terrain color accuracy, but it's pretty high.

Would it be possible at all to integrate any of the ML map reading functions into the upload? Or if something similar was to be achieved would it have to be started from scratch? I could write a PHP script (or even a command-like proggy) to parse data from chk in like less than an hour (assumng I do it right the first time ) if I am bored enough. Stuff like [mini]map drawing'd require some mpq data, unless I preparsed the data removing as much unused data as possible. I'd also need to know memory limitations, if any, so that it wouldn't explode all over.

Dunno if you're at all interested since there is already something... (I don't know if the current thing is nonexistant, incomplete, or just broken...) It's just 3 am-ish and I'm bored and rambling (hence the 7 edits or whatever it is now.)

I would like at least start locations / resources in the minimaps and while I'm sure I could figure that out, it wasn't a high priority. My big problem is that large maps require too huge of an initial jpeg in memory and it would crash. And while I do have an idea of how to fix it, again, not a high priority.
If you want to try to make a linux c++ program, go for it.

Hmm. Are you taking images of the entire map or just minimaps? As I said (somewhere), I can generate minimaps without any funky algorithms (meaning I don't generate the entire map.) I could even make them larger than 128x128, I suppose... Lemme make a quick example that is better than a screenshot of a broken program. I could make it draw actual units (which I would have to resize) or little rectangles like SC does.

Problem with making a linux c++ program is I don't know linux or how to compile to it... but google should help with that.

Any memory limit?

UPDATE:
I now have a C program that will export the minimap terrain. Tomorrow I'll work on adding unit squares.
I attached a copy of its output.

Where is DEAD anyways? I missed him.

I'm here.

I remember mentioning he goes by the name of Gigins now. I added you to the Contributors page.
