I have been looking into the Q (LOMA) Maps its simply just a version change and it works with the PW Client, I have tested around 10+ maps so far all working great.
I am atm still figuring out how to do the ZX Ones I got 2 to work so far but they're still a little buggy and crash at times, guess I am missing one thing, I will see Tom about this.
As for mixing the texture files and litmodels this is how I done it.
Litmodels:
See below about buildings then once you have done below add them to your litmodels.pck
Buildings:
This is the complicated part, what you will have to do is extract the full buildings.pck of Zhuxian and rename the folder "Textures" to something with the same amount of lettes in it for example "zxxtures". Then place this into your PW Client buildings.pck. You then afterwards when working with litmodels will have too use software such as "Ultraedit" and edit the full folder of the litmodels and search for the following text "Building\textures" and replace with "Building\zxxtures" then add your litmodels to the litmodels.pck of your PW Client.
Textures:
Just add them, they dont interfere.
All in all no problems for me so far.
Only thing I am having an issue with is creating the walk maps for the mobs/NPC's some reason SMap dont convert properly so think maybe we need to re-edit smap a little.
Fixing clt to .sev for Region and Precinct
99% of you actually use SMap so I have tested this and it works fine.
Precinct
Precinct seems to convert fine without any issues, what I can say though is you will need to edit the Instance ID etc for the name of the instance to appear in the top right and also the music.
If you intend in getting the music as well then just go to sfx.pck and convert .ogg to .mp3 you will also need to change the file names of all ones that have chinese lettering. Also change the file names of ones that may clash with already installed PW Sounds.
Region
Ok you need to edit client side and change version to 5.
Then you need to remove the following from each line of [trans]
Before
AfterQuote:
[trans]
1 1 0 0 -1
You can then safely convert to .sev and it works fine from here, I havent worked with "[Region]" yet in region.clt but if this becomes an issue in later maps I will add how to fix this as well.Quote:

Next is mini-map I hate working with Mini-Map I have it in my client already but its way out of sync for Z9 at the moment. I will test and come back to it asap.
I fixed the mini map for z9, here:
Could u advise how u done it? I aint too good on mini-maps Thanks
Honestly, trial and error. I took the official ones (which you're right are WAY off), took a wild guess and wasn't too far off. So then all I had to do was run through the map making small adjustments... I don't know that mine is 'perfect' although it's "pretty darn good".
I did use photoshop to 'fix' this ;)

I'm trying to look so I can provide more detail right now:
The "world map" (the main map when you press M in the cave) was located in:
\surfaces\worldmaps\z9-1.dds and needed to be edited for size...
Ah figured as much, I'll have to re-install photoshop, thanks.
I got some Ether Saga Maps to work too they look pretty cool. I am waiting for Tom to be available more so I can sit with him and write an editor to convert from the game to PW soon hopefully.
Then for the mini map, located in:
\surfaces\minimaps\z9-1.dds
I took that and split it into 4 equal parts, then the rest (for adjustments to make it allign properly) was guess and check...

I take that back, I see I used:Quote:

*then* I took the minimap in:
\surfaces\minimaps\z9-1.dds split it into 4 pieces, then the rest was guess and check (mainly adjusting by only a few pixels each time in attempt to get it to line up better)...
For the walk maps etc Get the actual server files for JD thats what I did they seem to work perfect.
Paint.net is good enough for dds editingQuote:
