Chart of villain location within each zone

It's true that it isn't exhaustive, but for (most of) the maps that I have edited, it is something I check and it is as exhaustive as I can make it. I use demo files to survey the entire zone five separate times, then I parse that data with some custom scripts to give me a rundown of what enemies are where and at what level. I have to use some discretion to exclude enemies that only rarely appear, but I've been a bit surprised with the number of edits I've needed to make to the critter notes to (more) accurately reflect what is currently out there.

I meant no disrespect - they're incredibly useful and I appreciate the work that goes in to them.

Yes, vidiot maps DOES solve the problem of providing neighborhoods where enemies spawn so that people can complete those "Defeat X # of villains" missions.  It is exhaustive enough for that purpose.

 

If you want anything more detailed and more complete, well... clearly since the thread remains dead for years other than from the few necromancers like yourself raising it back, there is no other solution besides what vidiot maps provides.

 

So, if you want more, then perhaps you can scour the internet and ebay selling a copy of old original binders.  Or yet, be the hero to the couple people wanting this and make your own chart!

 

Use vidiot maps, the google sheet posted above, and the wiki as a start.  Then make your own chart with the neighborhoods, if you want something more complete or in a different format than what is already provided from the vidiot maps mod. 

 

Good luck. 

 

Vidiotmaps does not give you a list of locations where you can find a certain enemy type. It gives you what enemy types are in the zone you're in. OP needs the former.

 

He also replied to several people who made the same error that you have made trying to explain that wasn't what he asked for, and how that wouldn't solve his problem.

 

If you still don't understand... how about this. I havea mission that tells me "Defeat 50 Drudges." I'm not sure where the best place to find them is. No problem. I have vidiotmaps, and @Frozen Burnsays this will solve my problem. How do I use vidiotmaps to solve this problem?

Anyway...

 

This isn't exactly what we need and it's not complete, but this is pretty useful.

 

It's a forum post of a hunting guide for defeat badges, which is helpful.

Look on the vidiot map in the zone where the contact gave the player the mission.

If you get a mission to hunt Drudges, you should know they are in Night Ward, because you'll already be in that zone and have gotten that mission from a Night Ward contact - and of course, they don't spawn anywhere else.  And then vidiot maps will help you find the neighborhood they are in.  This is the same for most of the hunt missions you get throughout the game - it will direct you to the zone you need to go to, or the enemies will be found in the zone that you pick up the mission in.  Again vidiot maps is your friend with finding the neighborhood.

 

For the rare missions where you do not get the zone name to do your hunt, sure, if you are that unfamiliar with the game, you can look at the Wiki, click "Enemies" and click the group you need to hunt.  Most entries state at the top of the page the zones where the groups are.  Then you can go to that zone and once again.... use vidiot maps to find them in the whatever neighborhood. 

 

But instead of arguing all this - if you REALLY want a list or chart of villains in their zone and neighborhoods... relook at the rest of my previous post that you completely ignored.... You will have to make it yourself.  

 

As I stated, use the Wiki and the google doc that was previously posted in this thread to chart the villains' zones... then you can narrow it further down by going to the zones and looking at vidiot maps to record the neighborhoods those villains reside in.  Voila - your chart / list is made. 

 

Again, clearly no one has done this since this thread started and for the few of you who want this tool and keep resurrecting this every couple of years... make it yourself instead of complaining and arguing over minutia, especially when all the tools and resources are there for you to accomplish this task.

 

Again, good luck, and post your finished chart when done so the few others who want it will have it.

No worries, none taken at all. I just wanted to add a bit more info/context especially since the critter notes don't normally get much attention.

Hope this helps, a little hard to read so you'll have to zoom in, wanted to keep it on one page.
