Adding new maps

09/21/2009 17:12 twiggy345#1
I searched the forums and didnt see anything about the subject. but I am trying to add a new map using an existing map. I wanna take avalon map and have df doom monsters on it for the lvl 200 map. Im not quite sure what to do. All i know to do is the maplist.csv. after that im not sure even tho im still using a map that is already there. If a answer is givin then a tut for adding maps using current folder configs will be released. Here is what i have in my maplist.csv folder that i added.

38,Deadfront Isle,avalon.map,avalon.mol,Avalon.mel,Avalon.mac,M ap\38_Avalon\NPC_18_Avalon.csv,2,18,1.7,-70,80,12,50,50,-2.2,0,90,light_requies.txt,water/skyCube_dri=.dds,75,,60,17,10,15,0,20,10,0,0,0,0,3 ,60000,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,..\Share\Map\18_Avalon\m0 18.mal,..\Share\Map\44_Dead_Front_Arch\MON_44_Dead_Front_Ar ch.csv,..\Share\Map\38_Avalon\NPC_18_Avalon.csv,,0,0,0,0 ,0,0,0,0,0,100,Map38_Avalon,0,0,,85,249,0,0,0,0,10 0,100,0,0,1,1,1,0,200,PC\LevelCap\Default.csv,0.65 ,1

But where do i go from here?
and i belive that the words in blue is the monsters for the map not quite sure.

mm its nothing to do with maplist.csv (yes u can do it from there but i prefer to do like these)

go to share\map\18_avalon\mon_18_avalon.csv
and go to share\map\deadfront map u want \ mon_xx_xxxx.csv
then copy past the mobs
thats it

Well you can't just necessarily copy and paste the contents of those files into each other (if I'm understanding correctly).

Reason is that each monster entry is accompanied with X Y coordinates that the monster is to be spawned at. Each map is laid out differently so they won't be spawned correctly in some places, due to mapredcells and won't be laid out evenly among the map.

You could for example replace all entries for mob index 1234 in the avalon file with index 5678 from the dead front file, thus keeping the original coords that they are supposed to be spawned at and ensuring a good spread across the map. (indexes are obviously examples only).

I understand now, and that's correct.
