could any one tell me which ani file locate the met zone i wanna edit it to look like summoner'r rift lols map as i found it the best and gonna design turrets,minions and nexus to make a pvp tournament but not nw just any one could tell me which files does it use i got messed up with the client and used korvac's wdf extractor i found the map id was 1210 and its dmap is task10.7z any help here?
Create your own tile map using league of legends resources and then simply edit the pul and ani files so that the images change.
You only need to edit dmap in order to determine cell access information which is slightly more tricky. Just re-tiling a map is a rather simple task. You'll want to write a tool to help you visualize the map and edit it via GUI though. My cotographer project would probably be a good start for you.

Replace your task10.pul file with this file (attached). Then, copy "ani\newplain.ani" and rename the copy as "met_zone.ani". Make changes to met_zone.ani (put your new puzzle files in that file as you add them to the client). Good luck.

awesomness im totally amazed thanks dude.
tho u made the .dmap file associated with a specified ani file? How could that be done?
My bad... for some reason I thought I'd gone ahead and released it + source code at some point....
I'll look for the source later if I have time. It was never really designed to make conquer maps but because I let them initially be generated from conquer files (and had support for inarchive dds reading makes it a useful reference for those wanting to do edits to conquer maps.

thats awesome but i didnt get the mechanism on how it work.
P.s : if i wanna to study structure of files and make dlls and converters with (zero knowldge) how much time could it took me to achieve smth like that ? Please dont make fun of me or troll on me.

Depends on how good you are at searching.
Every file is pretty well documented and I'm positive I have posted about their structures before (as have other members). All you need to do is do a little research into the game files and you'll find their structure is pretty simple.
<edit> instead of posting the map viewer source, I have a different program that converted conquer maps to my own file format for editing. This will give you a nice start on how to read from the required files. You can also update it so that it reads directly from wdf archives using already public libraries around epvp.
Code:
public const string RESOURCE_LOCATION = "D:\\Extracted Wdf Files\\";
private void ConvertMapButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

Hahaha, I actually didn't even write a tool for doing that. I kinda took the lazy route and edited the constant string using a hex editor. Since it's of static length, it was easy to do. It's not worth the time making an entire tool for doing such a simple, small edit. Anyways, good luck.
