Vvardenfell Google map

I am amazed by the Oblivion interactive map, powered by google map. I'm interested to know if you're planning to make the same thing for Vvardenfell. I tested the hires interactive map (from here) but in my opinion, it's less usable and gorgeous :). I found a more detailed map on the Imperial Library. It could be used to make a "Vvardenfell Google map"

On a related note, pointing to the interactive map from articles would be an incredible feature. I saw it's discussed here, but I just want to underline the fact that I'd really like to see this for Morrowind articles :). Shamaz 05:58, 21 November 2006 (EST)

I've thought about it and its certainly possible the only issue is time (i.e. my time which is stretched lately). Most of the base map code can be reused but the most time consuming thing is actually generating the map images and creating the location database. The map images have to be generated from Morrowind or the CS (I forget the command, I think its a game console command). These images then have to be combined, renamed, and resized to form all the tile images. Since editors are getting into updating the Morrowind section of the Wiki perhaps I can spare a few days and put it together.

Actually, looking at that hi-res map it might help sped up image creation although I'd have to redo the image tiling scripts I have. -- DaveH 10:00, 21 November 2006 (EST)
