Guild Wars 2

Ok, so my first hunch about using the Z value from the mumble feed was correct and I should be using that value to caculate the Y coordinate on the 2D map. Once I switch to that value, all the equations work out.

Thanks for your help.

Brain melting indeed. I converted it over and the X coordinates work fine, but my Y coordinates seem to still be off, so to continue my “Mrot Boru” waypoint example, the map has the following values:

map_rect: [[-39936,-30720],[43008,33792]],
continent_rect: [[5888,14464],[9344,17152]],

So I calculate the Y:

= $cr[0][1]+($cr[1][1]-$cr[0][1])*(1-($p[1]-$mr[0][1])/($mr[1][1]-$mr[0][1]))
=14464+(17152-14464)*(1-(2090-(-30720))/(33792-(-30720)))
=15784.91667

But the JSON states the Y should be 16914.8.

Did I mess something up in the conversion of the Y portion of the function?

Thanks!

I am trying to figure out how to convert the coordinates I am reading from the Mumble position to coordinates I can use with the map JSON APIs.

When I am standing at Mrot Boru Waypoint I get the following from Mumble:

X: 9759.99
Y: 2090.003
Z: -25029.63

The JSON for Mrot Boru is:

poi_id: 117,
name: "Mrot Boru Waypoint",
type: "waypoint",
floor: 1,
coord: [
7958.96,
16914.8
]

Based on how the values change when I move, I am guessing I need to look at the X and Z values, as Y seems to be vertical movement (jumping triggers only a change in Y).

Does anyone have a simple method to properly convert from the mumble coords to the map API coords?

Thanks!

Thanks Gaile, the new release has my fix!

Updating, because this is something we’re keenly sensitive about: I’d like to know the ticket number so we can review this. I believe there may well be something we can do about this to help you. I’m not sure yet, but I can’t help but think we definitely want to give this a look.

So may I have your ticket number?

Thanks.

Sure it is 41940.

Thanks for taking another look at this.

JustTrogdor is right, once equipped the item becomes soulbound.

I purchased the Jack in the box scythe from the BLTC and soulbound it to the wrong character. I immediately realized my error and created a support ticket to try and get it moved. I would like to transfer it to my other character (on the same account), so I can have both the pick and scythe on the same character. The support ticket id is 41940, but I was told that this will not be done.

Is there anything I can do about this?

I think it would be really cool to have an external map app for GW2. Let me log into my account from an iPad/Android tablet and just have a map on that screen. Have the map update in real time just like the in game map, so I don’t have to be constantly opening the map in game and going blind for the amount of time I have it open. This would be nice when you are leveling just to find the next spot to run to, but also in WvW, so you don’t open yourself up to being ganked while you have the map window up.

I am seeing this as well.
