Map Of Oddworld

depthsofodd · #1 09-29-2002, 09:52 AM

Is there or will there ever be a Map of Oddworld? I think it would be very interesting to see how the environments are laid out over the planet of oddworld.... would anyone like to attempt to make one?

There is already an Oddworld Map. If you're a member of the Oddworld Fan Sign-Me-Up Thingy, then you can see Version 2 at Alf's Commoddities and Tea.

I won't post it here cos it's way too big.

Be warned: the map has many inaccuracies in it, so don't take it as definite. I've got in touch with Alf and he allowed me to spotlight the inaccuracies in the map. Here's hoping for a revised version!

The think Xavier posted was a link to a now 'dead' MSN community that I wish would pick back up again, oh well.

But I think that MSN must have deleted it after a while because of it's size.

The map which is behind Abe. However, the map is not clear. However, it is better rather than there is nothing.

hey....that map is cool....

Thanks for the link.

hehe It's funny. Leave it to hardcore fans to be able to spot faults in the world when even the creators can't!

that one with abe is a great pic...but someone must have the original map...i will keep searching, thanks to everyone who replied!

Siftland · #10 09-30-2002, 12:10 PM

The link to the map in the other thread worked for me...

***Xavier*** · #11 09-30-2002, 02:57 PM

my link is good! just wait a bit!

I think the picture is too big to be downloaded over a 56k connection, that may be why it fails for me...i dono...i had a friend open the page for me over a faster internet connection and i have saved the image to a smaller file size. If anyone else is having trouble...you can find it here:

atusiya@ · #13 10-01-2002, 03:07 AM

I also think that the lowspeed of download is the cause.
Xavier should already have linked the map on MSN.

***Xavier*** · #14 10-01-2002, 03:53 PM

sorry, it's probably a slow connexion problem, cause by me there is no problem

I spotted something on the map. The map says Rupture Farms is very far from Monsaic Lines, doesn't it? And Stockyards is a part of Rupture Farms, isn't it? And when Abe falls down the cliff near Stockyards, and Bigface resurrects him, Monsaic Lines's gate is very close to him. That's not right, I think, but I may be wrong.

***Wil*** · #16 10-01-2002, 05:50 PM

I wouldn't bother trying to judge distance on the map.

You see, the distance between Monsaic Lines and Necrum is one day's travel, about 12 miles (according to Anna). Transfer that distance to the small Map of Oddworld in the corner, and you can see that Oddworld is less than half the size of the Earth instead of ten times the size, which it actually is.

I've informed Alf of that mishap, so we'll just have to see what's coming (hoping for a new Com-odd-ity and Tea soon).

***Xavier*** · #17 10-01-2002, 07:00 PM

Max can you put your mistake list here so we can see if we find some other problems to solve (even if you found all of them)

***Wil*** · #18 10-02-2002, 06:58 PM

Sure thing.

In fact, why don't I just point you all over to this friendly chamber. It's what Alf and Co. should have read, so if you spot anything else, go right ahead in letting me know.
