Adding new map

[grondinm]

i am trying to add the hell temple mod that Indrek888 mad as a new map cause i jsut don't like the idea of replacing parca plus i think it would be cool to have as a new map. my first issue is that after adding the new map and trying to start the server i get this:

2648: [ Map 71 ] NPC Layout Load Success 0
2648: Wrong MapIndex from mal File.
2648: File: .\Loader\Map\SectorList.cpp, Line: 34

i looked at the mal file but it makes no sense to me at all. anyone have any idea where i should start?

i did just use the mal files from the original parca map what do i need to change in the .mal file to make it work.

even if you make new map it still use same textures as original so i dont think its possible, anyway i havent firgured that out yet

that was my next thing...somewhere should be a file that tells the client what textures to load for each map. i think it's in the mol file i was going to look into that once i got the map to actually load...if the server can't lod the new map then i was not going to wast my time trying to get the textures to load properly. hopefully some one has some idea what to change in this mal file.

just put the new files in the client only

but you can't go to a map that the server does not have registered/loaded.

the server does nothing with textures, it only has the shared files

[grondinm]

i know that that's why i need to add the map to maplist.csv and the server needs to have the .map .mel .mol and .mac files...

Hell parca and Parca Normal read same files texture so is impossible you need change in.map if you can open ^^ XD

a VERY easy task!!!
open an existing map file with an hex-editor (HXD for example), and take a look at the first byte
there's the map index. (in hex).
Just try to edit the map file with an hex-editor.
it worked with my map files 1-2 years ago.
