Remove it from the .dmap file.
Have fun with that.

As for NPC directions, stop being lazy and just ******* test it yourself

.DMaps contain information on various things on a map including:
-Valid coordinates
-Information about various obstacles or scenes (links to the .scene files)
-Portal information (only where it's located and it's type)
-More? Dunno.

i've never really explored there haha, don't plan to either.

Well how am i supposed to know =x I dont see any files that can open/edit/decrypt (if crypted) .DMap files. I only knew they were boundries for the map and that they did a bit more

~~CoAttack~~ · 08/03/2009, 03:53

~~TehPwnzor~~ · 08/03/2009, 22:38

There is already code written to open and read DMap files, see my source and you'll get a brief overview of dmap files.
The only thing I haven't done in regards to dmaps is to gather linked scene coords, but I doubt that would be difficult.

@OP: If you want to prevent the use of a portal, don't delete it, just make the output coords and map next to the original portal, i.e. you jump in and it spits you back out right next to it.
