Great job Bit :D Once again.

Edited first post.

Download: http://www.athenpaladins.org/down/SLmap-v2.2.zip
WARNING :
For most screens set upto 1300 pixels width definition, normal version is advised ; over 1300 pixels width definition, especially if text is hard for you to read, prefer wide version now available.

EASY INSTALLATION :
With any old version removed, extract archive in ao/cd_image/textures/PlanetMap ; you should obtain a new “SLmap” folder containing various files (bin, xml & txt) according to the version you downloaded.
At this point, just open ingame worldmap once in SL by hitting “P” & then click the “i” upperleft of that window > Select Map > choose SLmap link from the list ; that’s all done !11!!1
If you have an error hitting “P”, assuming you already got the map correctly installed, it’s fixed by chat command : /setoption ShadowlandMapIndexFile “SLmap/SLmap.txt” or /setoption ShadowlandMapIndexFile “SLmap/SLmapWide.txt”

VERSION & CHANGES :

2.2 - february 2020 => retuning of many positions ; mistyped/unreadable text corrected & missing added (3 quests included) ; noteworthy location icons added to top layer ; a big thanx to Uneedgsf for info/check help !
2.1 - february 2017 => Greedy Shade locations and nanos added ; few graphical elements readjusted ; several text overlaps and typos fixed ; catacombs entrance descriptions improved ; 3rd layer grid & number corrected.
2.0 - june 2016 => many cities & buildings of every zones graphically improved ; several NPC, spot or dynas updated ; few typos, dot overlaps, border bugs, grid coords or map positions corrected ; wide version added.
1.0 - december 2015 => playground removed ; backgrounds minimalized ; borders cleaned ; LoX enlighted ; layers optimized ; closeview repaired ; title font changed ; garden/sanct nanos refreshed ; new maps/NPC added.

GOALS BEHIND :
Idea is to go on from the best SL map we had so far, Onack’s AoSL, and keep informations updated in minimal filesize accordingly to last AO patches.

NEW DISTRIBUTION :

Layer 1 => small map with minimal zone informations / Layer 2 => everything important dynabosses included / Layer 3 => nanos, quest related & various NPCs

FUTURE CHANGES :
Introduce new additions AO team will patch + community feedbacks & suggestions.

OFFICIAL THREADS :
https://forums.funcom.com/t/updated-ing ... eases/6746
Please post your feedback (about the SL map only !) in any of these, what’s relevant and doable will be taken in consideration.

SPECIAL THANX :
Onack for an inestimable work over years ; Novagen for hosting & sources ; Saavick for test & tricks ; Demoder & Cell-team for toolbox ; Alliance of Rimor for infos ; other players that helped (you know who you are).

Please could someone tell me how to get this map to work? Everything was installed correctly, followed all the steps. All I’m getting is an error message and a white screen instead of a map. The new RK one is working perfectly, but the SL one seems to be rather stubborn. Thank you.
AFK for the forseeable future.

Carp, first to make sure all is perfectly (I hope) clear, especially for returning players, I revamped the instructions from Bit's page in the fist post and quoted below.
Preferably have AO NOT running before installing.

Delete any old version (in your Anarchy Online folder and the subfolder /cd_image/textures/PlanetMap/SLmap).

Extract the archive in your Anarchy Online folder, in the sub-folder /cd_image/textures/PlanetMap ; you should obtain a new “SLmap” folder containing various files (bin, xml & txt) depending on the version you downloaded.

Launch AO.

Go to Shadowlands (Jobe works)

Open the in-game world map once in SL by hitting “P” and then click the “i” top left of that window.

Then > Select Map and choose the SLmap link from the list; you're done.

If you get an error when hitting “P”, assuming you already got the map correctly installed, it’s usually fixed by this command to type in your chat window (pick the one for the map you want to use, normal or wide):
/setoption ShadowlandMapIndexFile “SLmap/SLmap.txt”
or
/setoption ShadowlandMapIndexFile “SLmap/SLmapWide.txt”
Are you good with all that?

Did you try one of the chat commands (the one you need)?

I uninstalled then reinstalled AO and tried again. I don't really know what I did differently, but all seems to be working now. Thanks a lot :)

Reinstalled AO?! That was brutal. :shock: But good to know it worked. Maybe something was awkward inside the various map folders.
