To read the in game Map or see your own locations on the map irrespective of X and Y:

Step 1: Hit M key on Keyboard
Step 2: You are the Yellow arrow , the pointed part of arrow = ur head or the direction which u are headed. Basically whats in front.

Step 3:If you are near a town (if say jangan, srry if miss spelled it) u see a town like icon with Jangan writen on it(i am assuming u have done step 1 already) double clicking it(LEFT MOUSE CLICK) will give u the town map.

Step 4:To return to the orignal World Map u see a little Globe like icon on the top right corner (of the map itself which i assume U opened by hitting M key).

Click or double click it and ur back to the World Map.

x:5432 and y:-32 means you are 32 above the ground at a certain height.

actually it id merely a different line you can walk. try waling along the x line so the x coordinates change but the y dont and vise versa try it

Uh... no. It's simple 2d coordinates that you learn about in Algebra 1. X-axis and Y-axis. (0, 0) is located along a wall in Hotan.

yes x and y is the co-ordinates we all know that but what does Y:-32 MEAN.
do correct me if i am wrong dont want any mis lead people here. What does the negaitve y indicate? Anyone?

this may help



iv used hotan area here as hotan is the center point but i thin there is 3/4 areas in the game

more confused than ever.
According to this Either xy represent with reference to the GRAPH , it can u suggest X:300 , AND Y:-32 where Y = -32.
Now in game its in refrerence do distance so it can go up to 5000 somehting values but can u elaborate more . Lets take your own example and lets say if i am some where in HOTAN havinga x:3456 (random number for e.g.) and y:-32 (random number for e.g) what wud that mean .

were the 'Y' is call that north and were the 'X' i call that east if you move north east you wil get X: (number is positive), Y: (number is positive) understand?

hi ,
Ok i understood that but still my question is not resolved Y: -32 WHAT does that stand for ? North? will try to get an screen shot of that value!
And please also tell me Any moderators name to get this post deleted it looks more like spam now lol

look at the diagram and visulise hotan there were would -y be?

what don't you understand this is really basic graphing.

it;s actually cartesian mathematics but.. if you havent studied it in school thats ok ill try to explain...

normally in maths, co-ords are quoted x first then y. so its (x,y).
then to visualise your position you locate the x number on the x axis.
then you locate the y number on the y axis.
then you visualise 2 lines :-

one cutting through the x number on the x asix at 90 degrees up and down; the seond one cutting through the y number on the y axis up and
down.

where these 2 lines intersect is your location.

hope that helps. as you can see north and south doesnt matter in cartesian maths because those 2 lines can only intersect in one location.

its with the 2 lines (I am just 13 years old but we have that a half year ago with maths.)

It's with the Hotan is a point 0,0 and every step will make a change. so if u go West(left) of hotan than ur X will go negative, when u go East(right) of hotan ur X will go positve. And if u go South(down) of Hotan ur Y will be negative and if u go North(up) of Hotan ur Y will be positive.

Exemple: If u go 1000 moves to the East and 500 moves to the South from Hotan(0,0) your coordinates will be: (1000,-500).


I hope this may help.

Got confused with the atcual 3d axis lol k...xyz i related to z as y got it yes i did math too lol

Yea, and when givin map coordinatinates, u need to locate the area first (area is written above actual coordinates) or else ppl have no idea where u are. Example: Tarim Basin : x 447, y 2231
