GameMap Reading

[Iron~Man]

Well, I'm having problems reading the decoded GameMap ... It keeps reading the first map , it Doesn't go down...

           IniFile I = new IniFile(ThePath+ @"ini\TheGameMap.txt");
            uint TotalMaps = 260;
 for (uint i = 0; i < TotalMaps; i++)
            {
                ushort MapID = I.ReadUInt16("AllMaps", "MapID");
                string Path = I.ReadString("AllMaps", "Path");
                    DMap D = new DMap(MapID, Path);
                    H_DMaps.Add(MapID, D);
            }

and there's an example how the gamemap looks

[AllMaps]

MapID=1000
Path=map/map/desert.DMap
PuzzleSize=256// Keeps reading this map.. Doesn't go any further

MapID=1001
Path=map/map/d_antre01.DMap
PuzzleSize=256

MapID=1002
Path=map/map/newplain.DMap
PuzzleSize=256

MapID=1003
Path=map/map/mine01.DMap
PuzzleSize=256

MapID=1004
Path=map/map/forum.DMap
PuzzleSize=256

MapID=1005
Path=map/map/arena.DMap
PuzzleSize=256

MapID=1006
Path=map/map/horse.DMap
PuzzleSize=256

MapID=1100
Path=map/map/star01.DMap
PuzzleSize=256

Where am I wrong?
Thank you.

Your structure isn't a valid INI structure. You have the same key a lot of time.

[Section]
Key=Value

Something like this can work... You can use a loop.

[Header]
Count=2

[Map0]
MapId=1000
Path=map/map/desert.dmap
PuzzleSize=256

[Map1]
MapId=1000
Path=map/map/desert.dmap
PuzzleSize=256

sorry, cant help you im bad in 5165 servers. hope someone els can help you, goodluck

Yeh Good Idea...

You can't code Zath, So Please Don't even TRY to help me.

#Edit;
Why are you trying to make it read from an ini file? o.O

Because the very original GameMap.dat from the latest client has 2 maps under 1 MapID , so That It gives me error when debugging.

You just skip one instead of trying to add it to the dictionary.

This

                    H_DMaps.Add(MapID, D);

To

                if (!H_DMaps.Contains(MapID))
                    H_DMaps.Add(MapID, D);

Tried that Already, Doesn't work.

What is the exactly error you're getting?

When I do that, I get no error, It Only Reads The First Map, Then It Stops.

Why don't you instead, create a program that decodes the gamemap.dat, change the mapid, then encode it again?

#Edit;
Made the program for you, I haven't tested it fully, so there MIGHT be bugs with it, but I tested it a few times and it worked. So try it.

Here's what it does;
It reads the game map.dat and for each map information read(Mapid, Puzzlesize, Path, Pathlength) it creates a new MapInfo(); and saves the map information read, to a new MapInfo();
It then adds the new information to a dictionary, so it can be used later on.
But if the dictionary already holds the information for a certain mapid, then it creates a "randomly" generated map id, then checks if the dictionary already holds that id, if it does hold the new ID, then it generates a new id. Once the program is fully done with that gamemap.dat, it creates a new gamemap.dat file and writes the TotalMaps, then foreach value in the dictionary, it writes the values' information, to the same structure of gamemap.dat.

Check out my TinyMap release ()

It reads the GameMap.dat file to load and convert DMaps.
I'm pretty sure I added the source as well, so you can check it out.
