I explored the whole thing. Now I want to make another zoom step 4 map to connect to the edge of this one without overlap, so when im done it can go on the wall (framed side by side) and look decent.
On that wiki I read the step 4 map covers 2048×2048 blocks.
I had started the first one at my house. my house was at x245 z131 (using F3)
The next map I want to try is to the east of the current map. (right side)
Assuming from what I read here, all I need to do is make the next new map at cords x2293 z131.
(I added 2048 to the horizontal and kept the vertical plane the same)
I did this. I explored out past the original map, into what I *thought* would be the center of the next one.
However, it made the new map farther east than what it should have.
Aka, theirs a large gap between the two maps.
Are there some guidelines for doing this anywhere, or someone have some knowledge of this to share; for apparently im doing something wrong, or im missing something.
I just tried it again. Heres the steps I took.
I start out at home base.
Notice im in the center. Cool.
Now.. I go 2048 over to the east and start a new map. then I head back home.
heres the pic of the new map from my home.
Now.. it worked coming home as you see. it explored some.. the problem now is the old map is broken (doesn't update my position). look when I pop it on.
When I log out of the game completely and restart its temporarily 'fixed'. Anyways.. its just a map bug and it confused me. lol. someone feel free to report it.
Yeah, I've been getting that too. Holding and using multiple maps in your inventory messes up the pointers. It's hard to research because of all the historical map bugs. I guess maps have always been very buggy.
This bug seems to go away if you log out and then log in and stick to one map at a time.
EDIT: As far as I have seen, the map still explores properly even though the pointer is invisible, so it might still be worth having all the maps you need even though its hard to tell where you are sometimes.
So thought id ask here. Using 1.7.2 on a multiplayer server on my lan.
Ok.. so im in survival mode... I made a 'zoom step 4' map.
