You need a standalone exe.

No offense, but I don't do exe. files that connect to the internet.

[Telakh]

No offence taken. I would guarantee if my word was worth something here. But at least I can answer your questons.

Thing is that:
1 - I don't know a free php scripter who could make a web service
2 - Does anyone have any idea how big and heavy the map is? And how should it then be updated in standalone?
3 - Currently it works and it works fine despite the efforts of those guys who tried to hack the server.
4 - We are planning to develep the project further by implementing additional modules like auction for example.

PS. Updated to 1.0.2
Fixed minor bugs.

[Divayith]

Absolutely excellent!

Thank you Telakh and Time Paradox!

[Telakh]

Enjoy! And you are welcome.

We have registered a single error that could have resulted in tiles download failure. It looks like a black window with no map in it. Apologise for the possible inconvenent. Haven't figured out the reason and didn't manage to reproduce it, so please message me if something like this ever happens.

Current version: 1.0.3

Coordinates has been changed to meters. 2 meters for 1 ingame tile.
This way it should be easier to refer coordinates to a specific grid square.

Fixed minor bug with zoom value on program start.


Error mentioned above has been localised and fixed on server. Should not cause any troulbles anymore.
More features to be announced later.

Current version: 1.0.5
Fixed bug with manual coordinates input.

Fixed another server issue.

[Arrakis]

I am pretty much unable to use it as my antivirus is yelling that this application is pure evil. I can't even shut down it's process anyhow atm, so I will be forced to restart my PC. I will not use it again.

[Telakh]

Sure thing you can't do anthing with a process if it is paralysed by the antivirus.

Since the map doesn't even connect to the server, it is either your OS, your Antivirus or you lack the knowledge how antivirus behaves with your system which is most obvious since you call it "pure evil" and the primitive process had forced you to restart the system

As I have said, it only requests the map tiles from the server. Yes, it is an outgoing connection though it is minimised to simple requests which can be easily monitored. The program itself does not need any access but to the markers.xml file in the same folder. Hope it can help to set it up if you are still insterested.
PS. Make sure you have the latest version.

[Arrakis]

Well it does work kinda, though I am getting some suspicious .NET framework error each time when I launch it.

My suggestion: Make an online map that doesn't have to be downloaded.

It would be nice to just have the whole map plain as one file you can DL and save.

Current Version: 1.0.6
Added error logging. error.log file is created in the same folder automatically in case some unexpected error occures (since all expected errors were fixed already). Please send me details if something happens.
Previous version stays available just in case.

Update to version 1.1.3.
Improved overall performance.
Fixed some perfomance bugs and changed network protocol in order to fit upcoming functionality. More updates to come soon.
Old client versions not compartible anymore due to the protocol changes, please update the client.

Well it does work kinda, though I am getting some suspicious .NET framework error each time when I launch it.

Have managed to catch this issue - caused by different regional settings when reading the markers.xml file. Should be fixed now.

PS: Check out our updated heightmap
25 meters elevation difference for each line.
Considering that each pixel equals 2 meters, you can determine the height angle. For example, if there are 12 pixels between 2 height lines, then it means that there are 24 meters horisontal and 25 elevation difference and that gives us 45 degrees elevation angle.

[Hoshiqua]

It does not work for me, I have the last version, but it asks me to update the program.

[Telakh]

I've been busy lately. Will have a look at the server and program later today.

Server was down for some reason. Is running just fine right now.
We will update the program during the week. Will add some new features as well.
Thanks for the reply.

[aaronvf]

Nice job telakh!

[Strategos]

Ummm...
It seems that I get a strange message when trying to download your map:
"Chrome has blocked malicious file."
Should I be worried or is this just a bug?

It is just the Chrome. You should check the security settings. This map program goes without installation package and so, most security programs consider it suspicious.

Update to version 1.2.4
Network connection protocol upgraded.
Added support of upcoming features.

Markers are not split on:
Local - stored locally in your PC, visible only to you.
Guild - stored on server, visible to your guild. Can be removed/modified by owner or guild officers.
Alliance - stored on server, visible to entire allience. Can be installed by guild leaders, removed/modified by owner or alliance officers.
Global - stored on server, visible to all.

Alliance markers are still under construction.
Guild markers are working though the guild interface is still under construction. Should be available soon.
User registration/login is working though I'm not presentating it yet since any user has to be attatched to a guild manually.

Please update the client beacuse the connection protocol has been changed.. Thank you.

Update to version 1.2.6
Markers, height lines and server grid are now toggled through the menu.
Added the option to select types of markes to display. Now you can toggle them on/off.
Update to version 1.2.7
Heightlines fixed.

Update to version 1.2.8
Markers are no longer removed by Esc key.
Added 7th zoom level with 1:0.25 Pixel:Tile resolution.

[Baelgor]

Awesome work guys!

[Telakh]

Awesome work guys!

You are welcome!

Update to version 1.2.10
Added map scale line in meters.
Fixed an error with heightlines.

Update to version 1.2.11
Scrolling does not go beyond map boundaries any more.

[trashman]

Where did you get the map image from?

[LoneTophat]

Chrome appears to be blocking the download as malicious. Interesting.

[Telakh]

Where did you get the map image from?

We've generated it ourselves.

If you'd like to have something added to the map tool, please, share your thoughts.

[Liadon]

I'm far from being an expert but...

Couldn't simply make an app which can export or import juste like the character import/export in Mount and Blade ?

IE : it would save (on demand) the markers in a file that the owner could exchange as he wishes (via Skype for example) ? And of course, removing the app's connection to internet.

Sounds less comfortable, but much more safe ;)

[Telakh]

It is a little bit more complicated than it looks.
Game map is very large and so it can't be converted in real-time fast enough.
Generated map tiles are not as heavy as the map itself, yet they are updated constantly and so we decided to use server-side solution to display map.
After all this tool has been created for internal use and we share it as token of good will. Some of the features are accessible only for our guildmates.
I understand that it may not be convenient for use to use it with network connetion but that is how it works right now. There is no way to convert it to ASP.net web page yet. Sorry

[Wolfhelm]

how did you get the starter island / yo map?

[Telakh]

how did you get the starter island / yo map?

Some skill, some effort and some data-mining.

[Atuan]

Has there been one made for YO? I found this one. http://lifeisfeudalmap.ru/#14/-0.0183/0.0191
But I'd actually prefer one to download.

[Telakh]

Have you missed this topic? lif-yo-map-t1811/ It is not interactve though.

[Barlin]

Hi,
I downloaded the .exe files but the program won`t start. Instead the message "please update program" pops up. The windows framework is already installed and good to go, so thats not it...Does anyone else have the same problem ?

Cheers

[Telakh]

The server was down for a while, since LiF MMO was not even near. We will update the software and put it up soon.

[Nightborder]

Any news about this? And it would be AWESOME to see some video from closed alpha gameplay.I watched that 11 mins video with Bobik and some players

[LordWiese]

Wondering if this going to be updated?
