Eventmap

Heyhou,

i was thinking about a special eventmap. I just want to copy the Territorial War map and create a NPC in ADC/Archosaur ( btw can sumone give me the dds files of the map with the right names ? i have the tasks.data with names like City of the lost, Archoausr etc. but mah map shows City of Vanished and Ancient dragon city instead ) where you can teleport to that map and also a NPC to teleport out of the map. Nothing more. But i need something like a tutorial what i have to do to make this. ( also i need an overview which aXX folder is which map :): )

Whould be cool if someone can teach me how to do that.

copy the battefield entry in gs.conf, give it a new name, change its port, change its id and world tag
change instance.txt to have a copy of the world tag (I think its tag, w/e the second line number is) and map path of b30(which is the battefield)

make a quest to teleport there and tada! you are there

Thats basically how all the battefields work anyway, they are all just clones of the original b30

The arena though.... I don't quite know why they have multiple copies of the same map when it could work just like the battefield

Anyway thats how you do it

great :): I'll try that. And to place a NPC in there i have to add it in npcgen i guess.

Yes and if I remember right the npcgens for the battlefield are all creature builder based anyway... so you can just add a bunch of new npcs and then add a ai link id and then manually make them appear whenever you want, just looking around in the config files provides hundreds of examples, and trial and error is usually one of the best ways to figure things out as other then a few people here I don't think many know a lot of the internals of how it all works

Already testing on mah testserver.

Now one thing i still need is the mapfiles ( the dds files ) where the areas have the right names. Mine shows Ancient Dragon City instead of Archosaur and such so most of the quests are related to wrong names :D:

anyone can share them for me please ?

Area names aren't in dds files... they are in region and precinct inside each map folder

Not the areanames itself. The Main map file is the problem. When i press m i see the wrong names on the map. For example:

Questtext: "Visit the elder in Archosaur"

and now check mah map if you find Archosaur there :D:

From an old copy I had

and again a bit "Thank you" :): That is what i needed :):
