Convert Maps

[XxforcerX]

Hello,

can someone teach me how i can create or convert maps like that one from LOMA ? i have already convertet with sMapTool and changed versions of the files like the Tutorial from Bash but the problem is now he says convert to Server but the .rmap and that will not be convertet. Someone can teach me also how i can createt this files?

thx

I use the official side maps from the actual LOMA, ESO, JD server files etc I only convert the precinct and region since I custom these.

Found this http://forum.ragezone.com/f111/tell-legend-martial-arts-server-913647/
Seems legit, you will have to try it out unless someone posts something better, good luck!! :
Edit: usr/rain/gamed <--- Location of Loma Server map files.

ok but there is no rmap and this stuff only the configs for maps ? :/

tbh i'm at the same place and have not finished my maps at this point.
I've had complete success at cloning maps and they work flawlessly, but this is also new to me.
Ok, so in looking at the rmaps of my v69 files i see that all rmaps are same size, 129kb..and when i ran them in ultra edit they looked to have the same hex, so im thinking one could just use one of these...but it is not tested on my end so i can't say whether this will work for sure...that's my current theory anyway, and until someone can shed some light on this (which i'm sure someone will) i'm assuming this is the way i will go...with all missing pieces... if they match and i decide they could be interchangeable, because they seem to be universal.
If you have any luck , do post as i will eventually, when i get to finish testing myself.
BTW i think the idea of having a ton of extra maps from LOMA is an exciting idea and one i'd hope is achievable, which from reading here on the forums seems to be, so hang in there i'm sure the answers will come

Your question is somewhat vague and i don't really know much more than you as this is my first time in maps.
Assuming you didn't leave your character in q1 and ran q3 like i did in my noob years eons ago, does the q3 map run before conversion and with your char able to log in?, so if it's after conversion then i don't know, if it's truly a conversion generated error then i don't know because atm i'm simply running maps and looking at them, i've yet to convert my .clt's to .sev's.
Infact i looked at sMAPtool briefly and have read Ronny's and Redskull posts a dozen times and still have not worked out the directory structure for a successful conversion :/: ...but i haven't really tried that much either, i'm more concerned getting all the maps programed in to Khoan and running correctly, then time for sMAPs tinkering.
Maybe someone will respond to this thread with some helpful advice :alberteinstein:

i have fixed it was my failure have forget one file in the maps folder so it crashed. But the next thing is The barriers in q3 i have already looked in your thread but you didnt fixed it yet or ? and the WorldMap when you click M its not showing up, same by you ? or which files you have put in, i think its something in Surfaces or ? The Sky is Texture.pck ?

The sky and ground was because i didn't combine LOMA textures into PW textures..i'd just forgotten to do it lol :junglejane:
I have not tried the LOMA world map yet, leaving that till very last.
Currently mulling the barriers problem & clt to sev sMAP folder structure over in my head whilst adding more maps.
I will be sure to post once i have success & time to give it all a good go. :8:
