			Hey! Good to see you back on here. Maybe we can fire up some interest again?

			My kid is playing and finding some wiki mistakes, so I'm making a few adjustments. It's good to be back.

	~~== Map Heights ==~~		Re: exemplars

	~~By the way~~, I just realized the meaning of some values from file 0x13000000 in the portal data. This file contains a bunch of information about the world, and right near the beginning are 256 values that start off as multiples of two. But these actually map from the Z-values in the cell data to the height in game. So, for example, the lighthouse near Fort Teth has a z coordinate of 650, which it wouldn't have ~~if the heights were just 2*z as I suggested previously~~.		Great, thanks. I'll have a go at doing them.

	~~== Height Map ==~~

	~~Sure, I'd be happy to help!~~

	Here's a heightmap for the 2012-05 patch [http://www.codethecode.com/download/ac/dereth-height-2012-05.png dereth-height-2012-05.png] (associated regular map is [http://www.codethecode.com/download/ac/dereth-2012-05.png dereth-2012-05.png]). The height is 0 for the water, up to 255 for the max height. I'm using the height for all three color channels, so it is effectively a greyscale image.

	~~I have notes that "Adjacent pixels are 24 units apart. 24 * 8 = 192 per land block... 24 * 2041 = 48984 for the whole map. Heights are 2 * z... hopefully in the same units."~~

	~~I could make the water areas transparent if you needed. Let me know if that works, or if you need anything else.~~

	~~By the way, when you said "Retail CD", I don't suppose you meant the original release CD? I'd love to get my hands on those data files :) The earliest I have the the Dark Majesty ones.~~

	~~--[[User:Widgeon\|Widgeon]] 05:31, 10 May 2012 (EST)~~

	~~----~~

	Probably the easiest way would be to use Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com). If you don't already use this, free accounts get 2 GB of storage, or if you sign up with this link <http://db.tt/db7Oafp> you'll get an extra 500 MB and I'll get an extra 1GB. Dropbox provides a folder that gets synced across all of your computers. You can share folders with other people, or put files in a public folder and then copy a public link to it, something like <http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7958574/ac/dungeon-00a2.png>. You can normally do that through the Finder (which isn't working for me), or through their website. I use it for work, to share files with other members of my team.

	~~Alternatively, you can send me email at nygard@gmail.com and I'll set up an account where you can ftp the files.~~

	~~I should only need the Retail files. I have the DM ones, and I'm sure I still have my TOD CDs. Thanks!~~

	I posted a suggested revision [http://ac.wikkii.net/wiki/User:Connorthecraftmaster/journalsandbox here]. I basically edited entries Ahurenga through Beach fort to be easier to read, as I think this setup is more copy/paste friendly and the end-point location I think should also be listed in the travel instructions themselves (so one only has to copy/paste once). Let me know if you agree, disagree, or think a different approach would be better... I think we should hash out the format as much as possible before adding more locations... ... ... you know, I'm tempted to program a "journal editor" to make changes out-of-game easier... hmm.... [[User:Connorthecraftmaster\|Connorthecraftmaster]] 09:01, 22 December 2010 (EST)
	~~----~~
	The journal looks great so far! I do have a suggestion though. Each step of a trip should only take 1 line for ease of reading purposes... I've tested it and you can still copy the whole thing and paste it into the chatbar. I'll have time to work on adding some locations tomorrow if you don't have any updates made since you sent me that message. I figured I could work on dungeon locations since you have a lot of the towns hashed out. [[User:Connorthecraftmaster\|Connorthecraftmaster]] 14:21, 21 December 2010 (EST)
	~~----~~
	I'm thinking a singular name (for the journal) would be best, and if we want a condensed version it should be under that same name. We could call it something like "The Olthoi's Travel Guide", or something like that. I'm not too concerned about having the exact name as shown in my video, as long as a journal is there to download as I suggest. I could even whip up a nifty pic like on my journal's download page that portrays the purpose of the journal immediately to the user. In any case, I can't wait to see what you come up with... then we can shoot back and fourth suggestions to make this thing the best guide ever! [[User:Connorthecraftmaster\|Connorthecraftmaster]] 11:08, 20 December 2010 (EST)
	~~----~~
	Adventurer, I'm wondering how we can best organize our collaborative efforts regarding the Quest Journal... is there a suggested medium, certain pain on wiki or whatever that you'd prefer to use for this purpose? From there, I think we can discuss it further so we can define a particular format that each page will have. [[User:Connorthecraftmaster\|Connorthecraftmaster]] 10:02, 20 December 2010 (EST)
	~~----~~
	Thanks for the info AA regarding my Olthoi Journal. I can think of a few other places I can plug into my journal... such as Fort Teth and as you mentioned, northwatch. I'll update the journal further when I get some free time to do so! By the way, if there is something I author and you wish to add it somewhere, please feel free to post whatever I make to wherever you want in the AC wiki.

	Hi An Adventurer, I see that you have been working on the left-nav menu. I thought that [[Game Mechanics]] might be a good addition to add for new/returning players. Maybe a section that links to the 'how to play a _____ character' guides would be nice too. --[[User:Dr Doom HG\|Dr Doom HG]] 17:57, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
	~~: I like your new menu proposal! Thanks! --[[User:Dr Doom HG\|Dr Doom HG]] 16:45, October 10, 2009 (UTC)~~
	~~----~~
	I updated [[Mediawiki:Sidebar]] to link to the new location. Normally when relocating a page with a history you should use the Move function so the history moves with it. I imported the history now that the page exists, thanks. --{{User:Tlosk/Sig}} 02:18, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

	Hiya, yeah I saw the changes you found with Sylsfear and it made me think :). They really out did themselves last patch huh, I will go hunting for some more! --[[User:Tiger1986\|Tiger1986]] 00:26, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

	~~== Date ==~~

	~~Hi, any reason why an edit today (4/20/2010) is showing up at January 24, 2010? Specifically, edited the location of the barkeep in Nanto, where one buys the winter lager.~~

	~~Just curious.~~

	Hey there. Do you think ZenMo was the same person who recently messed with the Plugins page (they can circumvent an IP ban, right?) pretty sad that people come on here and do that, I bet he was recently banned by Turbine or something. --[[User:Tiger1986\|Tiger1986]] 14:28, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

	~~Hi An Adventurer,~~

	~~Thanks for the helpful tips about my start of a page--please do delete it and/or redirect it. I looked at your "alternative" pages and they are way better!~~

	Also, just as a returning player myself, I wonder if under Game Info > Player Guides there should be a direct link to Character Templates? It took me a while to actually find it, but maybe I missed something obvious.
