    I was wondering, is it possible to somehow get into the html coding of when you use the shop wizard to search for the exactl piece of a map you're looking for?

    lol, I'm tired of refreshing alsmot 20 times to find the price i want, and then it's impossible to find out if it's the lowest.

    maybe not the gif, they code it so they know what piece it is when you go to convert it don't they? so there must be an underlaying code that distincts one piece from the other

    yeah, but for all you know it could be done on the image file itself.

    doubt it but...

    i see what you mean, what advantages would doing this have?

    just to finish the lab map for oneself?

    or for selling?

    pretty much just so it's so much easier to buy them off of the shop wizard, or for pricing them when selling.

    The shop wiz search does not return any code which could be used to determine which map piece is which..

    Code (Text):
    1.  
    2. <a href='browseshop.phtml?owner=adventusbwc&buy_obj_info_id=190&buy_cost_neopoints=49475'><b>adventusbwc</b></a></td><td align=center  bgcolor='#ffffcc'>Piece of a treasure map</td><td align=center  bgcolor='#ffffcc'>4</td><td align=center bgcolor='#ffffcc'><b>49,475 NP</b></td></tr><tr><td align=center  bgcolor='#ffffee'><a href='browseshop.phtml?owner=aakid&buy_obj_info_id=190&buy_cost_neopoints=49500'><b>aakid</b></a></td><td align=center  bgcolor='#ffffee'>Piece of a treasure map</td><td align=center  bgcolor='#ffffee'>1</td><td align=center bgcolor='#ffffee'><b>49,500 NP</b></td></tr><tr><td align=center  bgcolor='#ffffcc'>

    You would need the .gif image of the map to be on the page to tell which is which..
