[Help Request]Map Editing Knowledge

Hello! Anyone with a good knowledge of map edit can help me? :D

I wanna make my new pvp map *__*

-Dark Keolloseu-

You know Aion?You know Dark poeta? Well i wanna imitate it xD
So..Dark keolloseu will be completely like Keolloseu..But different Npcs,Mobs,and different Terrain Type..and it will be a pvp zone for sure :D But i dont' know how to add a map >.< So if someone wanna help me...It's welcome :P

Basically i'm able to add everything i just need to know how to graphic edit the map..tyvm!

Find the wld file for keo and the svmap file.
Copy them and rename them to a number that isn't used.
This will add a complete copy of Keo for you.
Yet it will use the same textures so as of now I don't think making two differently textured keo's is possible.
Maybe for once shstudio will be useful for true editing upon the new release with what looks like a wld file viewer? Lol
Yet as of npcs, mobs, and whatever else data wise it's just basic svmap edits.

Well i have the svmap file but i'm a bit confused for the wld ones..

And anyway there must be a way to edit a map ground...Because i've played on a server where jungle was fully snowy...Snow everywhere...

But snow should be able to be taken from 30 PvP map though, creating a whole new ground, I am not sure -yet again, I don't work with graphics-

Adding snow is a texture.
Like I said textures can be edited.
Search for them in the client :) they are there if you look in the right place.
The snow option for weather can be enabled in the map.ini if I'm correct.
Also forgot to add don't forget to change your map.ini map count if you add a new map in via svmaps.
You can set where to respawn upon death and all too in the map.ini.

Well instead of snow i'll put something darker o.o I still have to think bout it...Mmmm..Something like a mid brown/black/darkpurple floor..Something that looks rotten.
I'm sure i won't be able to finish this Dark Keolloseu but say it ù.ù
You both liked the idea xD
If i'll finish it i'll post a video :D

Added swmap 109
Edited from 68 to 69 Map.ini count
Added Set Zone 68 to mapini with coordinates.

Now i just need to import the "new" wld file into the client right?
then i can start to edit npcs mobs portals etc.

(Lights will spawn by Cornwell ruins portal Darkies From CL portal >.<)

mmmm something must be wrong...My game service stay on Pause now that i added the map xD :\

Deleted the setzone 68 and working again! :P

Well according to the description you can take the texture of the EP5 PvP map, there are some that will do the trick for you.

John i have another problem now...I was in Beika...then i used /cmove 109 (the "new" map)
But on the chat is written [map109]go to the nearest town but if i press H the map i'm in is map1 .-. And anyway it didn't loaded any map...So now i have 2 maps that work for 1.I didn't created a new map at all...

I tried on another map and if i do /cmove 109 it just do notthing...it teleport me on the spawn point of the map i'm in...So...Just like if i use townportal... .-.

Did you change the information on your .ini files so that they are two completely different maps server-side?

Well now everything works fine..I added the map 68...that is map 1...i edited everything..I used the wld 1 in the client...added as 68...the 01 txt file added as 68...But...When i go inside...I gain this error.
2 68_00 map data load error

Map data load error hmm , maybe its the edited .txt mistake or did you edit any ShStudio things? like NPCQuest and etc etc , Just Im not sure , but might be , And it was same error like game data load error i think..
Kinda im not sure.
Anyway Good Luck! :bandit: :bandit: :bandit:

Regards , [*]Sindacco

Well actually i didn't edited anything...I just copy past the svmap the wld and the txt and renamed them to 68.changed anything in them...Oly added the 68 to map.ini + map count.

I'm thinking about it...and the only problem that my mind can elaborate is that The wld file is not the number one for Erina...But if i open the txt number 1 it say keolloseu...so it bust be it... :\

I didn't edited the npcquest data because it should be already there...But now i try to delete everything from the svmap 68..Mobs npcs portals etc...It was this the problem we will see.
Well it didn't worked deleting everything from the svmap...So the problem is in another place.. :\

There' one thing i noticed...If i dont' add the wld and txt files, i only gain a map load error...If i add the wld and txt file in the client before the map load error, a little windows appear named 2.
Inside written 68_00.When i click ok i can see the black screen with the ingame window message Map data load error.

Well i tried another thing...I added client side the folder with relative files:
C:\Users\lawlol\Desktop\Shaiya Data File Tool\Data\world\Field\68\

But...Not working...I added the mini map too!!
I don't really know what else to do!

*Deleted all the maps over 100 from client and server side.Not working

Oh my goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!!!!!!! !!!
I can't believe it!!! *__* I finally did it! lolololololol
I got my 68 map working *__*
Now i can transform it to a pvp map add bosses edit mobs and so on *___*

Good luck with it

ok <.< find a map change it to one thats not use.

make sure you have the sv_map to match

to edit textures goto Entity folder --- Texture folder

make a full copy of the textures file and change to the number you changed the wld and sv_map to and same with the world folder some were in there you'll see folders saying 0--80 make a new folder there with yours and copy the one you wanna start off

now with the coped files change the look and doesn't effect the 1st set only that map

dang to late lol
