There are actually 4 essence mines, (they are all the same mine just rotated by 90 degrees, however the portals are in different locations, which is the reason for having different maps). I have created maps for all of them:

I have re uplodaded the Maps with a few changes

Download them here (http://putonajonnyscripts.hostoi.com/MapPieces/EssenceMine/)

This is the one already there:
'0_1'

These are the ones I made:

@: putonajonny - why have you gone to the trouble of creating the extra 4 maps - 3 maps of the other 90 degree rotations and then the 4th one is what you call the 'fill thing'.

Why have you created the other 3 maps?
What is the 'fill thing' (all 4 of the essence maps in one file) used for ?

thanks!

Because things like the dead trees need to be rotated, and sorry that was meant to be *full. If you look the portals are also in different locations

Only dead trees ? Anything else ? The only thing that comes to mind involving dead trees is ObjDtm's (DDTMs as well, yes ?) :)

The portals are in different places on the different maps

I think I see the reason for what you did now (yes, late I know). I've 'just' noticed (ha, ha) that while you may always be facing north (for argument sake) the top left quadrant isn't always the same one.

Also the minimap varies slightly in size (for me anyway - by a few pixels) and for the same quadrant-segment (ie outline shape & no/position of dead trees) - the portals are always in a different place.

So there are 4 mine quadrant segments - all joined by a common central chamber. And these appear to be dynamically created at teleport time. Even if you do not log out, and you teleport immediately back to the mine after returning to Wizard Distentor, (ie you don't leave the Magic Guild) you will not return to the same place or complete mine arrangement (ie the mine segment orientations and portal position have all changed)

I've not checked to see yet if the essence mine is just rotated, and the portals placed differently, or if the whole essence mine is created on the fly at teleport time, and the four mining quadrant segments are just placed together arbitrarily around the central chamber.

E: OKay, I just managed to confirm for myself what you already knew, and that is that the essence mine maps are rotated arbitrarily each time you teleport in - hence why you made up the maps. I wasn't questioning you - but asking questions myself - to which you help me confirm what you already knew. Ciao!

there's lots of black on the MM when your in the mine, why not just use that?

nvm lol got mixed up with this thread and another. i was just saying it'd be much easier just to create ddtms or w/e to walk around the essence mine
