InfoMap Advanced v2.4

InfoMap is a Vanguard UI map mod for use ingame. It is a joint project with contributions from Cobal, Drakonar, Malacki, Maraka, Nadger, Soresha, Techywarrior and Xndyr.

The advanced version of the InfoMap mod includes significantly more functionality than the default Vanguard UI.

• Enhanced terrain maps showing roads, rivers and major structures.
• Higher resolution maps of the cities.
• Browser window with interactive dungeon maps for Ancient Port Warehouse, Nusibe Necropolis and Halls of the Pantheon. The dungeons are divided into sections which can be controlled by left/right clicking on the map sections.
• Resource data layers with PoIs for metal, stone, wood and cloth. Additional data layers for services and diplomacy PoIs plus unusual resources including Corrupted Steelweave and the spores in the Ruins of Vol Tuniel. All data layers can be toggled on/off. Distinct markers for each of the PoI types, with a key to the markers given in a separate window.
• Labelled PoIs on the diplomacy/miscellaneous data layer for quest mobs and other locations, e.g. Pantheon and Griffon quest targets, prestige title NPCs and psionicist gestalts.
• Zone information layers which can be toggled on/off, showing the name and coordinates for each zone plus the harvesting resource tiers, mob level ranges and plot prices for housing areas.
• Text layers showing names and locations for towns, outposts and dungeons which can be toggled on/off.
• Direct access to the web-based PoI maps on Soresha.net providing a full look-up service for the PoI database, with many different search and display options available.
• Improved riftway window providing quicker access to all riftways in Telon, easily accessible for viewing at any time.
• Resizable mini map, with functionality to zoom in/out by double/right clicking over the map. Optional buttons on the mini map to open the windows for the riftways, browser window, key and web-based PoI maps.
• Three optional hotbars which can be re-positioned in layout mode. Two hotbars have buttons to control the data layers for resources and other information. The third hotbar has buttons to open the riftway, browser, key and web-based PoI map windows.
• Option for initial selection of resource data layers according to character's harvesting skills, triggered by moving the mouse over the mini map after logging in.
• Smaller icons for ingame and CustomPoIName.txt file PoI markers.
• Map images optimised to require less memory.
• Essential craft information for attuning catalysts, upgrade recipes, spell components and enchantment socketing included as a tab within the browser window.
• Harvesting resource and node information included as a tab within the browser window, which direct lookups for each resource and continent using the web-based PoI maps on Soresha.net.
• Details of civic parleys in different regions, the buffs they grant and their threshold lever values included as three tabs within the browser window.
• Optional, free-floating button to open the web browser window at a redirector page, providing easy access to any web page from within the game.
• UI Customizer program to configure InfoMap from outside the game. Allows unwanted components of the mod to be disabled which may improve performance/FPS (results will vary depending on other factors such as PC hardware and graphics settings). Also provides options to set the default data layers displayed when logging in.

The date in the filename indicates when the data was extracted from the PoI database. The PoIs are collected by players using an Automatic Logging System and comparison scripts are used to check new data, so the accuracy of the data is high.

The map mod can be installed on it's own or combined with other map standards compliant UI mods. It can also be used in conjunction with a CustomPoINames.txt file for your other PoIs.

Installation instructions and further details are available on the project web page: http://www.soresha.net/infomap/


Replacement Data Images

Updated data images for InfoMap Advanced are available from the project web page. These updates will be generated as new data becomes available in the PoI database and announced via the website's RSS feed.
