Louvre Map

From TheKolWiki

The maze in the Louvre It or Leave It adventures, like the Violet Fog, can be mapped. The map is the same for any one character, but it differs from character to character, or from ascension to ascension. The main structure, however, remains the same.

[edit] How to use this map

All the Relativity locations are situated in the centre. There are 4 in total, one that you start on, and 3 that you can reach while wandering around. From here you can reach 3 paintings, though which direction leads to which painting differs between the various Relativities. From each those 3 you can reach another 2, and from those you can reach a stat adventure and an item drop. All locations can return to a Relativity, essentially starting over (though, which Relativity they lead to differs from character to character).

[edit] How to make your own map

First, you need a table like this one:

Now, you can start to fill in the table. Wander around the maze, noting where your travels take you. Be careful to note that there are four Relativities, one that you start on and 3 that you can reach while navigating the maze, and the directions to travel from each of them may be different.

[edit] KoLmafia support

Veracity added support for adventuring in the Louvre to v9.3 of KoLmafia. If you are already a KoLmafia user, this is undoubtedly the easiest solution: you select the goal you desire (Muscle, Manetwich, whatever), tell KoLmafia to adventure in the Haunted Gallery, and whenever it encounters the Louvre, it dives in and maps just enough to achieve the goal you requested. Since you can accidentally take a prize while mapping the Louvre (unlike the Violet Fog), it may take several visits to the Louvre before KoLmafia has mapped enough to achieve the goal you specified, but eventually it will reliably and efficiently get what you ask for. If you change the goal and encounter the Louvre again, KoLmafia maps just enough more to meet the new goal. As of v9.4, the map is saved across sessions and only cleared when you ascend.

If you prefer to navigate the map by hand, KoLmafia still makes this easier: when you encounter the Louvre in the Minibrowser or Relay Browser, KoLmafia will display "spoilers" beneath each choice that tell you where you'll go if you press that button. Obviously it can only do this if you've done enough mapping with KoLmafia (either automated or in a browser) for it to have learned where the choice goes.

Veracity also integrated this with Gemelli's Louvre mapping tool so you can see exactly what KoLmafia has mapped so far while seeking for the goals you specified.

[edit] Greasemonkey support

bigfreak has developed a mapping tool for Greasemonkey. This allows you to pick a goal, displaying a percentage for how confident it is that it can reach that goal. As it or you map out the Louvre, the percentages will increase until they reach 100%. When playing interactively (not executing a series of turns), this can be easier to use than the KoLmafia mapping feature. Data about what you've mapped can be imported and exported (a good place to store it is the Quest Notes), so that you can easily move it to other computers if playing from multiple locations.

[edit] Visual Mapper

There is a script, written by Gemelli, that helps automate the mapping process by updating a visual map of the area as you move through its locations. That script can be viewed here.
