Creating domed World Map areas
Ok so I have been having fun (if you could call it that I guess it is for the most part) playing about with the map region path precinct files. Hex up the elementclient and so forth and going about trying to get some of my ideas working.
Im wanting to use some areas of the world map that are not in use, but at the same time I don't want anyone with there own hexed client to be able to fly over and access stuff that would only be accessible in an event or having a set reward item and getting ported in and back out via an NPC.
I was wondering if its possible to create a Dome for sections of the world map, as the do in Chrono or for that matter adding cube to go around the area of the world map you want accessible effectively blocking anyone with what ever hexed client they have accessing areas you don't want people GM included (for instance going off the side of the map and crashing the map)
the whole map thing I guess is just a possible as a small section of it, but if I could get some pointer or even the words to throw in the search box that can get me started on a zone of the world map. Or weather its in the client itself and there for could be hexed out and there for pointless so don't waste your time on it
I would appreciate it a heap
I did a bit of a search but map is 3 letter word so my temps to find info on this tends to return a lot results (all seemed unrelated) or none at all
Thought as I was in the process of pressing the post button
I guess it would be a long the same lines as making a dungeon or cave just creating a hollow structure to the size that it needs to be then placing it on the map. Still not really sure where what or how that would be done but some thing more for me to go on. I'll post this anyway saves me retyping it if I don't have any luck and some thing for me to come back and post how I got a long and what I did if I get it to work.
OK back to getting lost in the fun of pulling apart files and looking at pointless info till it starts to make seance. Will check back once my head starts to hurt from hitting it against the many walls that pop up while trying to learn stuff hoping they brake before I do. Or I realize its been days before I have done much else haha :thumbup:

Wow so many questions in one thread.
as for your client have it read from the server as client version - where if they dont do the updates cant really play on your server also can limit people from using other elementclient.exe files,
as for maps. clone one and use that as a GM zone or whatever quests you want to do and put in it and whatever mobs.
im not too familiar with putting invisible walls into the main map i think thats what you were refering to. but these are some little tips and ideas you can do.
Re: Creating domed World Map areas
not so many questions just thinking out loud lol. I'll pull the chrono files to pieces over few days see what I can find. There are 4 dome on a single map there and when you use the pwadmin to change your login place you can fly about above the domes. On the out side you can see in but inside you can not see out. Iike you can do caves and so forth if you fly over or near them you can see inside but inside its just a wall. I am guessing chrono domes are the same thing on a larger scale and a painted on sky inside to give it the effect of invisibltiy. If thats the case its just a large hollow building.
but for now have other issues that need my attention which I would go into here but it would just be me ranting and most likly take the topic off the attemp to create a super dome or at lest settle for smaller domes
Any other questions not relating to the dome wall things are either me thinking out loud or were not intended to be questions
