Thread: 17.10.2 and third party maps

    17.10.2 and third party maps

    Do NOT change the maps that come with the game, ONLY third party maps.

    In 17.10.2 the map definition file format has changed and any third party maps need to be updated for them to work:

    • Exit the game.
    • Find the map definition file (for example <anarchy directory>\cd_image\textures\PlanetMap\Dovves\Dovv esMap.txt) and open it in a text editor.
    • After the Name and Type lines add:
      Code:
      CoordsFile MapCoordinates.xml
    • Save the file.
    • Start the game and select the third party map.

    why not make the default map as one of the third party ones?
    i'm sure that with given credits noone would mind.

    Thank you very much for implementing this feature, it is much appreciated.

    This really opens up new ways of making maps, since you can now make a map for a specific purpose (say, a own map for describing how to do the inferno sanctuary quest, etc), and only enable tracking on the zones you are interested in.
    All in all, it makes it easier for people to make the character tracking feature work properly on their maps.

    isnt dovve's set to default? that was the first (or one of..) 3rd party map widely used.

    course.. i've been using my own updated version of it since she stopped maintaining it. (and i've never cared for the huge 6000meg maps of recent years).

    You'd rather download 50mb than manually edit a text file with about 10 keystrokes?

    WTB Your country. Where the downloads are instant and the caps nonexistant.

    And other ant's.

    If he already use the patcher, would be something like a ~300KB download (which would be done by the patcher) :P

    Awesome that the mapfiles are being looked in to.. next thing you'll be telling us that you found all the old Sound files and fixed that

  17. #17
    So, in the interest of futureproofing, where do the coords files go now? Can they be in the same folder as the other map files?

    Relative to the "<ao_dir>\cd_image\textures\Planetmap\" directory, actually.
