Core Keeper Map Tool
The Core Keeper Map Tool is a web based map viewer that overlays important information.
You can check it out here.
There is also a development version available.
Basic Features
- POI Circles
- Maze Finder
- Tile Highlighting
The Tools Past
The tool was originally created by Craigins with the help of Mz and nineforty.
Mz was the one that figured out how the map files actually work and how to load the mapparts. Craigins then created the map tool to highlight potential POIs where for example bosses could spawn. He later added more features like the Maze Finder, that highlights empty areas in the map, where a maze could spawn. nineforty's help is sadly not known.
After a change to the game, Craigins decided to leave the community and removed access to the tool.
Craigins had the source code to the tool on GitHub and under the MIT license, so I decided to rehost it and potentially make improvements.
