[FF7PC] World Map Stuff

[orichalcon]

its really starting to piss me off that this is still in WIP, when some douchebag suggested this thread get moved to WIP, it was moved the very same day, now its been weeks since this has been completed and released... yet its still here

obviously, i was right that the forum isnt active enough to worry about misplaced topics

this place needs better staff


EDIT: thank you, to whoever finally moved this

I agree, although PMing a moderator might go a long way, dont know if you've tried that

updated this with a few textures, most importantly a bugged texture to the cave entrances

thank you to Urbanhack86 for finding and fixing this texture that i could not find for the life of me

some more updates, also note there is a clouds update (fixed seam) from a bit ago, i just edited it on the previous post back when i fixed that

but anyway, new in this update:
-custom maps edited from a world map mod by Kule ( https://draklor.com/files/ffvii_enhanced_overlay_world_map.7z )
     edited by replacement of each pin for accuracy; also added gongaga
     mini-map edited with spherical distortion for more accuracy
-another update in nibel mountains
-some buildings retrofitted with windows/doors
-ground texture around city of the ancients

maps:

as you can see, you can fully see the shallow water on the map, so the paths for the tiny bronco and river chocobo are all laid out, as well as having the snow properly colored in the northern continent

mini-map ^ went with no water visible for maximum sleekness, and red pins for visibility


if anyone wants to create their own map something like this, i highly recommend checking out that link from the top of this post, it has tons of options for color, opacities, even different sized map cursors, its really neat

edit: updated this with more subtle windows/doors, windows were too white, and both were drawing too much attention, so edited them to look like this now:

pretty major update, i thought the oceans and rivers were all way too dark, so i had to recolor a lot of files

got one other fix on a cliff and i included the updated world map animations with it as well to solve the chocobo-on-snow bug and a few other things

i also renamed this mod to Reunion World Map, since that's what it is - devoloped by our community, so i put the link to the website in the mod for anyone who wants to join and contribute bug reports or whatever
