Title: SGP: Request - Map of Super Y-Glyphs
Post by: ColdGlider on October 07, 2009, 21:42:55
I know the Carts have been very busy on awesome super mega maps... but would it be a quick and easy turnaround on a map of just the few Super Y-Glyphs?  After my previous post (http://www.gruntspajamas.com/forum/index.php?topic=23.msg443#msg443), I'd like people to be able to take a holistic view of their placement in the game.

Ahh, ok.  :)

I've been trying to get my test plans completed and keep getting sidetracked as I notice (and document) other things.  Last night, for instance, I found myself making a map of District 05 and noting the placement of JSM26's "Eclipse" signs.  And...oooh!... then I come up with a new Glyph theory.  And hey!  Someone posted something I need to respond to!

So I need to get focused... and I totally understand how this stuff piles up.  Things seem kind of quiet here right now, but I have a feeling we're going to experience a flood of content- especially images- soon.  We just have to heed the advice of Kenji the Wise:

1: We could OVER occupy ourselves and catalog EVERYTHING and that way even if we aren't finding new information, we will keep ourselves busy and have one amazing database. Usually we would probably get sick of this, so here is number two...

2: Pace yourselves

Yes..currently I'm at a small stand still...I have a new computer on it's way...one where I could easily make a higher definition map: my current computer is a 1.6 Ghz single processor, I have on the way a 2.4 Ghz quad-core( O_O ) and I could easily capture a better map, redoing the whole thing, but I don't know if we are using these for online references or printing (Making a HD print would be useless, lol)

Hmm...I'll make a poll, lol.

I'm currently working on the Ultimate Glyphs FAQ, mapping and counting ALL the glyphs in CM:MS. When I finish doing it I'll post it, because people didn't seem very supportive when I posted the cry for help (http://www.gruntspajamas.com/forum/index.php?topic=488.0).. I guess they just need something (ie, the data I'm collecting and organizing) to remind them that someone is actually working on it.

I'm stuck between wanting to go crazy on working on this and being too busy with RL just before Christmas.  Those who want to work on it will work on it, those who want to relax will relax!  Let's let people do what they're excited to do, Cycle!

Nice map, PC!  I haven't cross-referenced it with any of mine, but the quick overview I gave it looked accurate.  One suggestion:  change the color of the "special glyph" icon from yellow- it blends in too well with the map background when the special glyphs should probably be the most visible! 

This will be an excellent resource!

@Scat:

Nice work with the map!  Sorry it has taken me so long to respond, but I'm on Day Two of weeding through a flood of posts.

I think your map is in error (as Pulse also noted).  There is not another SuperTri up in D08... and if there is then you have made a big discovery!  I believe you may have meant to indicate a SuperGlyphB there.  Please re-check and update the map if you have the time.  You can always review the glyph images (http://www.gruntspajamas.com/gallery/v/SGP/glyphs/YGlyphs/) in our gallery if you get confused.

While you're re-checking, why not grab some more screenshots of the glyphs as you map them?  We could tie these to your map somehow, perhaps using an ID system.

Well actually, maybe I have made a discovery! That place is the garden right? With the Y glyph with 1 superintendent face? Well, the very first times I played the game when I went there, there was always a tri glyph, slightly below where the glyph is now. The glyph thats there now wasn't there.

Thats why i put it there, but if it was only me who saw it i may as well take it down.

Or you could investigate that!
On what difficulty did you play your first play-through? After what level did you get there?
