Dynamical Map API
Ice of Dragons.1637:
Is there a way to create a guild wars map from the api.
I read somewhere that gw2 api supports google map -like
maps. does the map api below return only names and cordinates or
resources to ? Where can i get more resources like icons and map peaces ?
Map information
continents: Returns a list of continents and information about each continent.
maps: Returns a list of maps in the game.
map_floor: Returns detailed information about a map floor

There are tons of examples around and also the API documentation – it’s the best way to get started
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/API:Main
A simple Google maps example:

For more advanced stuff, just have a look at my GitHub repo, the Wiki maps widget or the other examples listed on the official wiki.

thank you for a lot of great links
really helpful
if i use this https://tiles.guildwars2.com/{continent_id}/{floor}/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg
i know where to get continent_id flor
the x and y i gues are from the map_floor but they dont seem to work
where do i get z ? or is z yust how much is it zomed ?
thank you

x and y are not the pixel coordinates but the tile coordinates. z is the desired zoom level of the requested tile.
See: http://leafletjs.com/reference.html#tilelayer or https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#ImageMapTypeOptions

thank you sooo much
really helped a loooooot
Ice of Dragons.1637:
still got nothing. i used this https://tiles.guildwars2.com/{1}/{1}/{0}/{19456}/{14976}.jpg
should be shiver peaks. Can i get a tile directly from my browser like other apis or do i need to use google map ?

Omit the braces, that’s the first problem. The second is that I think you’re trying to use map/continent coordinates, which equate to pixels at the highest zoom level. You need to use tile coordinates, which start at [0,0] and define the individual tile image’s position at the given zoom level. Third, the lowest zoom level is 1, not 0.

Take a look at Smiley’s code to see how to handle this.

No, it’s really 0, which is 1 tile with the whole map, zoom 1 is already 2×2 tiles, because 2^0 = pow(2,0) = (1 << 0) = 1…

Try something like this (php):
$zoom = 0;
$tiles = [];
for($y = 0; $y < (1 << $zoom); $y++){
echo '<div style="white-space: nowrap; width: '.((1 << $zoom)*256).'px;">'."\n";
for($x = 0; $x < (1 << $zoom); $x++){
if($x >= 0 && $y >= 0 && $x < (1 << $zoom) && $y < (1 << $zoom)){
echo '<img src="https://tiles.guildwars2.com/1/1/'.$zoom.'/'.$x.'/'.$y.'.jpg" />';
$tiles[$y][$x] = 'https://tiles.guildwars2.com/1/1/'.$zoom.'/'.$x.'/'.$y.'.jpg';
}
}
echo '</div>'."\n";
}
print_r($tiles);
