[MORFF]

Thx

I'd do a search on the Mangos project site. You'll come up with some sort of answer there. It was just officially supported, so there may be few answers out there for it right now. I do know that it has to be built along with your server, and if you are downloading it from the svn, it is located in the Mangos\contrib\vmap_extractor_v2 folder. I unfortunately havn't had time to play with it yet.

EDIT::: Scratch that... the bins are included for the assembler and the extractor. They are located under Mangos\contrib\vmap_extract_assembler_bin

execute makevmaps_SIMPLE.bat to so it in one step no quesions final screen [recommended] it makes 2 folders put vmaps folder in mangos main folder to enable LOS [Line Of Sight, at the end you dont need buildings folder anymore.
dont forget to mangos.conf to config it for vmaps.

what do i do

I have the same problem and i KNOW the file is there. what do i do ?

Way to bump a 6 year old topic. Anyway, make sure you're using a backslash ("\" the key above Enter/Return usually) in the config and not a forward slash. So for example, if your vmaps directory looks like "CoreFolder\Data\vmaps" in the config, you'll want to set the DataDir to ".\Data\" (Including the leading period and quotation marks). In most applications, use of the wrong slash in a URI (Backslash) or directory (Forward Slash) is automatically handled and converted into the proper type of slash but the devs never added that feature. The period lets the core know to look in it's executable directory.

On second look:

2007-09-11 21:35:21 Using DataDir ./

That is exactly what the problem is. You're using a forward slash. Directories require backslashes while only URI's use the forward slash.

I'm guessing your vmaps, DBC and maps folders are in the root core directory? If so, in the config use DataDir = ".\"

Hi Dark,

Sorry man, im just grasping at what ever i can find, bellive it or not but this is the newest tread i could find regarding this. Ive spend 12 hours on this already, looking for a solution.
ive tried what you surgested and put .\ for the root in as datadir - you are totally correct - i got the dbc, maps and vmaps in the core folder.

the strange part is the / in the error is not something i put there, its the mangos itself.

you know of anyway to change that if its needed?

ive also tried to make a data dir and put everything in that to get it to work :'(
