I can't help you there, but my guessing for these portals is, they are SQL related and not .fdb related. Otherwise we should have them in the files we have.

As far as i remember i had a visible portal to Vale of Rites in my 32-Bit Client in Tasuq, but it wasn't working. I had to port via GM command in zone 178.

I may check this later on my "old" server.

Portals are objects with assigned lua functions. You will have to create them by spawning them and write the luas. This would be the lua for Sun Temple I wrote:

function ZONE_36_BOSS_IN_1()
SetPlot( OwnerID() , "Collision" , "ZONE_36_BOSS_IN_2" , 1 )
end

function ZONE_36_BOSS_IN_2()
All_ZONE_BOSS_IN123(184,185,186,-146,570,-3460,270)
end

function ZONE_36_BOSS_OUT_1()
SetPlot( OwnerID(),"Collision","ZONE_36_BOSS_OUT_2",0)
end

function ZONE_36_BOSS_OUT_2()
if ChangeZone(OwnerID(),36,0,-886,330,-2778,210) then
else
ScriptMessage(OwnerID(),OwnerID(),0,"[WARRING_ZONE_NOT_OPEN]",0)
end
end

In terms of porting in front of an instance, for example suntemple

Whats the difference in using this command ingame:

? zone 36 0 -995 263 -2723

which works.

If i edit Lua with the data it doesn't work (i'm in the air and falling down):

[6] = {--渡鴉之心 ["Lv"] = 99; ["ZoneID"] = 36; ["X"] = -995; ["Y"] = 263; ["Z"] = -2723; };

It shows the correct name of the instance though if i use black codex transporter.

[fht]

That's weird. I just tried it with the exact data you provided and it works perfectly fine for me using black codex transport spell :-/

[Janebug]

and i cant even get the instance started .... got all the others but not sure why not that one .... there has to be missing some kinda item or object stopping it from starting best i can get ....npcs not spawned on some maps but i know there in game just need to spawn them .... as for sun Not sure what the map name is ? but ill find it







Hopefuly

Well, did you maybe just forget to add the Zone_XXX.INIs for the specific zones?

[Beerpyrs]

Most likely missing zoneobject data or the zone Inis.

added the second i created the xml for controller

Most likely missing zoneobject data or the zone Inis.

have the newest one ... still testing and what is ? "zone Inis" if your talking about ids you can see them on there

Related to the ports i'm just a stupid idiot... ;P

My coords indeed were working. But i THOUGHT since the black codes calls a lua, i could edit it in realtime. Means, i didn't restart the server...lol.

Thats the only thing i've had to do yesterday. lol, i wasted hours.

I just should wait for a 7.x release in 2-3 years ^^

Thanks for this can you help me a little on the break down on this line

function ZONE_38_BOSS_IN_2()
All_ZONE_BOSS_IN123(254,255,256,-146,570,-3460,270)
end
i get the first 3 are hard,normal,easy .... how do you get 4 coords with a portal "-146,570,-3460,270" where say instance 254 In would be -5560, 2451, 1715 but where is the 4th one coming from ???

Sure, that's the direction your character is going to look in.

All_ZONE_BOSS_IN123(hard,normal,easy,x,y,z,dir)

oooh thanks fht

here is what i tryed to make a portal going into ToS (254)

function ZONE_38_BOSS_IN_1()
SetPlot( OwnerID() , "Collision" , "ZONE_38_BOSS_IN_2" , 1 )
end

function ZONE_38_BOSS_IN_2()
All_ZONE_BOSS_IN123(254,255,256,-5560,2451,1715,270)
end

function ZONE_38_BOSS_OUT_1()
SetPlot( OwnerID(),"Collision","ZONE_38_BOSS_OUT_2",0)
end

function ZONE_38_BOSS_OUT_2()
if ChangeZone(OwnerID(),38,0,5457,227,2364,210) then
else
ScriptMessage(OwnerID(),OwnerID(),0,"[WARRING_ZONE_NOT_OPEN]",0)
end
end

and i spawned portalID 124071

sadly that does not work ... always get "zone not Open" ugh ..... Any ideas?

if these (ZONE_38_BOSS_IN_2) are other lua scripts then i understand why it did not work but i did add the name to the map zone file ...

[Mageoski]

So here is how it works:

In my case its vale of rites



1) Create a lua based on fht's example, i changed it to Vale of Rites. I took 3241.lua, since it was not used. So take care to change coords and zones.

2) save it up in luascripts folder

3) on server type "? reloadplot" (it reloads all things in luascripts)

4) open GM ObjectEdit and put data in like in my example, save

5) Inside ini you do the same, but just use "ZONE_34_BOSS_OUT_1"

Important: You have first to ? reloadplot (Create Lua), and then add the port via ObjecEdit GM

This is my changed lua

function ZONE_34_BOSS_IN_1()
SetPlot( OwnerID() , "Collision" , "ZONE_34_BOSS_IN_2" , 1 )
end
function ZONE_34_BOSS_IN_2()
All_ZONE_BOSS_IN123(178,179,180,683,-3.6,762.4,270)
end
function ZONE_34_BOSS_OUT_1()
SetPlot( OwnerID(),"Collision","ZONE_34_BOSS_OUT_2",0)
end
function ZONE_34_BOSS_OUT_2()
if ChangeZone(OwnerID(),34,0,-2225,392,2747,210) then
elseScriptMessage(OwnerID(),OwnerID(),0,"[WARNING_ZONE_NOT_OPEN]",0)
end
end

I guess my coordinates are not exactly the same as on official server, but well..it ports in an out ^^ If someone of the pros here has suggestions to it or can tell why i shouldn't do it that way, please tell me. :D

Also one question which isn't really clear to me: Instances have different IDs to port into them.
For example ID 102678, if you try to let it spawn its invisible. So there are still questions. I haven't tried if i can use just this portal for all inis left.
