If I remember right, these maps also include Horse Clan, but the route to horse clan is out of the map's range. Go figure.

Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

The genie map repository has a whole section near Steelclaw clan that isn't on Ranik's maps. Maybe try there?

From just inside Steelclaw clan's gate go northwest and from there is a small section to the north and another large section by 'go kirm morzindu' according to the links on my map.

>>Thanks for this. I don't see any spots in the areas you mentioned that just have a NW exit, but it is definitely a thought to go through the genie maps in addition to the other two. We'll try that.

If you tell me a little bit more specifically what you are looking for, I can do a regex search on the genie map folders and pull all the room names that meet your description.

I don't know much about reading maps. All I got was it has a "northwest room".

>> It means that the only cardinal and ordinal exit is to the northwest. I.e. North, northeast, east, etc. are not exits. Up/down/out don't matter, nor do non-standard exits. So a room with an exit only to the nw and another room with exits to the nw, up, out, go door, and climb fence would both qualify.

Challenge accepted!

>>If you tell me a little bit more specifically what you are looking for, I can do a regex search on the genie map folders and pull all the room names that meet your description.

Wow, this would be amazing. Thanks! Don't know if you can restrict it to Ilithi, but either way would be great.

Yes, that room you found is just right. It has a northwest exit and a few other non-cardinal exits (which don't matter).

The ONLY thing that matters is the one room. None of the adjacent rooms have to be anything special.

- Navesi

Alright. Here's a bunch. Some are more grassy then others. This search isn't infalliable but seemed to pick up most of em. I searched genie maps... 65-69.

This is the regex in case you want to give it a whirl. Basically, it appears that genie always places northwest in the first line after position if their are no other cardinal directions in that room.

Oh, it's also in XML so that is why there is more weird characters then normal.

>>Out of curiosity, as someone who doesn't use Genie right now, where is "the genie map repository", I'd love to see that data.

I can't imagine what use it would be if you don't use genie but here you go

https://svn.code.sf.net/p/geniemapsfordr/Genie3Maps/trunk/

I will add to those instructions that there are a handful of scripts included in the repository to handle a couple of special cases, so make sure to move those to your script folder if you are actually using them within Genie.

We were too busy to try it last night. I saved your post though. As soon as we get a chance, I will update!

- Navesi

Oh, that's hilarious. That room was broken for so long in Ranik maps too, and it used to mess up my auto-travel into eels there about a year ago. I can't remember if I requested the official maps be changed or if someone else did it on their own. It definitely used to have an exit to the southwest. Same with the link to the south that is nw, w, nw of there used to have an exit to the south. I believe they were taken out because there was weird spawn issues with mixing of the hunting grounds. Something like the pard liked to kill the eel hunters or the spawn got messed up. Now the only connection between those two areas is the fence.

Any possible help on this? I've had it a long time, gave up until i saw this post.

The map has a large 'X' marked in the middle of it. Near the marking, you can see several dotted lines forming a square. Contour lines drawn along the map indicate that the destination is located well above sea level, and snow-peaked mountains are drawn next to the 'X'. Straight lines have been drawn from the center, pointing northeast and northwest. From other markings on the map, you guess that the destination is directly north of here. Judging by your surrounding environment, you will find the treasure in this province.

It's in p5 somewhere.

If someone wants to convert this to language I can read... :) Let me know what the exits are and I can check the maps. Might be significantly more difficult to craft a regex though, depending on the number of exits.

Hi, just wanted to see if there was any luck trying to come up with regex to search the map db?
