Hello everyone. I finally found time to work on this project again. I decided to start from scratch and the map is pretty much finished, except I have never worked with xml before now and still havn't figured everything out yet.
I took a look at "How to Create and/or Add Maps" posted by tonyis3l33t and this is what I came up with.
I took screenshots with the map up and /loc visible for all of these POI's. If you would like me to post those, let me know.

I am having troubles with correcting the cursor placement on my map in game. I used tonyis3l33t_xyz_extract_zonrect_calc.vbs to extract values and then used open office to get the zone rect. I don't know how to correct the approximation gained by this method. My cursor does not follow the mapped area, and is completely off the map frequently. Again, I had to resize the map to 80 percent x and y in order to fit it completely on the map_blank.dds file. Though, I don't think this is the problem, because even at 100% the cursor does not follow the mapped area.
I am a little confused as to what is meant by cutting and pasting arrows into the map. I don't see how I can paste it right where I want it. Maybe a little clerification would be helpful. Maybe an example? I appologize, I havn't worked much with any paint type of programs. I have Paint Shop Pro 9.
I think I can figure out the availablerect and availablepriority. That just deals with large maps that need to take up more than one page, or has different levels. Correct me, please, if I am wrong about that.
I am having a little trouble with taco-man's tool.

Could someone please give me a run down on what needs to go into each field? I'm not sure what image location the program is asking for. If I need to cut and paste an image into my map as a layer, I might need a clue. I am not sure how to put it right at the exact coordinates in Paint Shop Pro9, or even why I need to do that.
Anyyyywayyys, (lol)
I attached the logfile.txt, map.png, map_adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw.dds, and Harclave4.jpg to give you a preview. The map.png is at 100% original size.
The dds file does not have color, I left it blank, because I am not much of an artist, and I am new to Paintshop Pro 9. I did; however, include color on the jpg image that I attached. Also, I had to remove some lines and add some others, just to tidy it up a bit. Hope it's ok.
I am hoping one of you guru's can give me a hand with this and finish it up. I hope I helped. It took me so many hours, that I am embarassed to say. 10 maybe? I'm a newb, what can I say?! LOL
If anyone feels charitable with knowledge, I am here to learn.

P.S. Final Image.
