This is very exciting, even for a miniplot :)
Does this also mean that we need to find the constellations for thw other 11 heroes?

Nope, that hasn't been posted yet. I was wondering what the Janitor would say, too, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. He always seems very cranky. Probably doesn't get much sleep... (Not unlike many of us PPTers since the plot began.) :P

It has been mentioned and I can only think it might have to do with the reflection of more light via the reflection of the new white gems above The Sleeper's statue.

That crazy yurble needs a swift punch in the face. And maybe some valium. And a hug or two. :hug:

Is it ok if I post the steps for the plot on our guild message board so they can keep up with all the new discoveries?

I don't know if this has been posted on a previous split, so forgive me if it has, but I devised a great way to find The Sleeper constellation once you have your set of star map data.

Quote:
1. Copy and paste the information from http://neopets.com/altador/astro.phtml?get_star_data=1 into your word processor (I use MSWord).

2. Select one of the | symbols, then go to "Edit > Replace..." Click in the "Replace with:" box then go down to the "Special" button at the bottom (you may have to click on "More \ /" to see it) and select "manual line break".

3. Select all text (ctrl+a) and convert to table with 3 columns, where the text is separated by commas. Column 1 will be your X coordinates, Column 2 is your Y coordinates, and Column 3 is the star's colour.

4. Sort by column 2 (numbers, decending) (make sure you indicate that there is NO HEADER ROW).

5. Look for instances where column 2 (Y coordinate) matches, and compare the column 1 (X coordinate) figures... you need to find a difference of exactly 200 in the X coordinates. That SHOULD show you the top two stars in your constellation.


I know this seems like a lot of work, but I was getting serious eye strain looking for my constellation the "hard" way. I hope this helps some of you who, like me, just can't see it.

ETA: This is what you're looking for in your table:

I agree he really needs to start drinking coffee(which I believe is the only thing that keeps me patially sane during the day)

Has it been established that the star map doesn't change each time you log in or view the page again? I'm a bit upset because I mapped it a few days ago, but today when I was looking for my constellation, the sky was completely different.

I ended up using the generator thingy (very handy by the way, thanks to whoever coded that!) to find my constellation.

Have you done what the meat puppets have posted on the first page?



EDIT: look to the far left and a bit up i saw something similar to the sleeper.

I think I found it, could you post the coordinates of your starmap so I can give them to you?

It changed when the constellation went active, but that's it. My guess is it might change again each time. This is why I'm so against mapping, TNT likes to change things.

And Nelly, I'll search your map, but first off, are you sure you did all the preliminary steps, like going to the archives, and this is your mostest recent map?
