Adding Map First Attempt

[lina]

I have added a map using a guide from one of the posts. Added 'rooms' map into map folder in mud and client. Also added a map in mapinfo.txt
I went ingame, teleported there and...:


didnt even get to see the map :P.

Ok what i think it is:

No mini map added or im stupid.

I cannot add a mini map unless i will know how to.
I have read on some posts i need to add it into mmap.wil

I have a .wil viewer and i know how to add it to minimap.txt just dont know how add the map into mmap

If any one could explain and tell me where to download .wil editor would be very very helpful. I have look for that program but with total fail(they didnt work).

btw i cannot even get into game on that character coz of that error

that error is generally caused by a faulty mapquest etc, in this instance could be wrong info on mapinfo.txt.

Have never known someone to crash out of game because of no minimap for the map lol, about 50%+ of maps DON'T have minimaps, and people don't crash because of it lol.

Could u explain how can i add a map correctly?
Step by step, what program to use, where to edit files etc etc

cheers again

Okay, sounds like to me the map you have is not in the client,mud3/map, or mapinfo.txt is wrong. I have had this happen before and tell you from experience. It is definately configured wrong somewhere, if say it is Map 0= Bichon.

You would go
[0 Bichon] FIGHT LIGHT

And again make sure you have added map mud3 and client side.

[0 Bichon 0] FIGHT

Try it with the extra 0 after the town name.

Couple of question for you:
Does the game run everywhere else just fine?
Have you tried, copying and renaming an already working map (0.map -> test.map, and [test bichoncopy 0] HORSE DAY)

If your using a custom map, or a really new one, you may also need tilesets not in the client your using.
