<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><h3 id="step-2"><nowiki>Step 2</nowiki></h3><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>2.1. Scroll down to the second code section and edit the variables between the two lines of </nowiki><code><nowiki>#########</nowiki></code><nowiki></nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p>[https://img.pvme.io/images/fCvNMZwNGs.png <nowiki>Guide illustration</nowiki>]</p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><em><nowiki>Notes:</nowiki></em></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki> a. Check </nowiki><span><nowiki>Referenced guide unavailable in this snapshot</nowiki></span><nowiki> first for already created maps and variables sets to save you time</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki> b. You can find map chunks by visiting </nowiki>[https://mejrs.github.io/ <nowiki>https://mejrs.github.io/</nowiki>]</p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki> ⬩ Turn on the </nowiki><strong><nowiki>grid layer</nowiki></strong><nowiki> by hovering over the icon in the bottom-right</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki> ⬩ If you struggle to find a specific area the RS Wiki has a </nowiki>[https://runescape.wiki/w/RuneScape:Map/mapIDs <nowiki>page listing common locations</nowiki>]<nowiki> - simply replace the </nowiki><code><nowiki>-1</nowiki></code><nowiki> in the mej URL to the corresponding map ID</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki></nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>2.2. If unsure about the coloured tile markings, enter a number around where you think for player/cannon etc, then tweak and re-run the code</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki></nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>2.3. Choose how many tiles to trim off each side of the image (left,upper,right,bottom)</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki></nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>2.4. Select which legend to use from the listed options</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki></nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>2.5. Remove the </nowiki><code><nowiki>#</nowiki></code><nowiki> from any lines you have set (any lines with a </nowiki><code><nowiki>#</nowiki></code><nowiki> will not be executed)</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />

<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>3.1. Run the main code</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p>[https://img.pvme.io/images/hN8YQKzJWk.png <nowiki>Guide illustration</nowiki>]<nowiki><br />
3.2. Wait for the code to execute - you can track its progress at the bottom of your browser</nowiki></p><br />

</nowiki><h3 id="step-4"><nowiki>Step 4</nowiki></h3><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>4.1. Scroll to the very bottom of the page to view your created map and </nowiki><code><nowiki>right click &gt; save</nowiki></code><nowiki> when happy, or scroll back up and tweak the variables if it's not right</nowiki></p><br />

<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki></nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>First we find the Rex Matriarch arena (we've had to scroll across Mej's map to find it):</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p>[https://img.pvme.io/images/4bOVcYUEIk.png <nowiki>Guide illustration</nowiki>]<nowiki><br />
</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>Next, we add map gridlines on so we know which map chunks to reference:</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p>[https://img.pvme.io/images/XwdQIAu7uv.png <nowiki>Guide illustration</nowiki>]<nowiki><br />
</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>Now we want to reduce the map to just the Osseous arena (highlighted by the yellow box), which crosses multiple map chunks.</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p>[https://img.pvme.io/images/EJXkK2pB4r.png <nowiki>Guide illustration</nowiki>]<nowiki><br />
</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>First we set the x and y values to be of the top tile (63,153)</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><pre>mej_x = 63<br />
mej_y = 153<br />
</pre><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki></nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>Next let's make it so 2 tiles are shown vertically</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><pre>mej_height = 2<br />
mej_width = 1<br />
</pre><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki></nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>If we ran the code now, it would give us this:</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p>[https://img.pvme.io/images/UDpjeF4nPZ.png <nowiki>Guide illustration</nowiki>]<nowiki><br />
</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>Let's trim off the sides and press the run button to check our map:</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><pre>left = 1<br />
upper = 43<br />
right = 21<br />
lower = 43<br />
</pre><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki></nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p>[https://img.pvme.io/images/xb7wjGpZut.png <nowiki>Guide illustration</nowiki>]<nowiki><br />
</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>It's almost there! Let's cut off some of that excess map, put a coloured tile for the player position, and set the legend to show just 'player position':</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p>[https://img.pvme.io/images/A76Rk7HV0P.png <nowiki>Guide illustration</nowiki>]<nowiki><br />
</nowiki></p><br />
<nowiki><br />
</nowiki><p><nowiki>Now let's hit the run button again... we did it!</nowiki></p><br />
