So for those to whom it may be useful:

The portals definition is stored in .svmap file and is structured according to:
Code:
struct Portal {
	float	x, y, z;		// location of portal
	long	faction;		// faction that can use this portal
	short	minLvl, maxLvl;		// min & max levels to use portal
	long	dest;			// ID of destination map
	float	dx, dy, dz;		// coords of destination point
};
the faction member can be:
0: to allow all factions to use the portal
1: to allow lights only to use it
2: to allow darks only to use it

or any values greater or equal to 1000 used as a conditional access.
(not sure if the min value is actually 1000 or if all values > 2 are allowed, but 1000+ do work)

The goal of this thread was to link access to Jungle and DD1 to the ownership of some relics of D-Water (of course you can apply the same logic on other portal, such as invasion ones).

The portals of map 0 are so defined as follows:
Code:
X,Y,Z,faction,minLvl,maxLvl,destID,dX,dY,dZ
2001.4,  17.5,  311.1,    2, 0,99, 29, 1772.3, 28.1, 1840.9
  76.6,  24.8, 1981.9,    1, 0,99, 28, 1653.0, 29.7,  189.8
1325.1,  23.1,  958.7,    2, 0,99,  3,   16.0, 13.0,  136.0
1320.6,  48.1, 1480.3,    2, 0,99,  9,  519.0,  5.0,  772.0
 528.5,  11.9, 1317.0,    1, 0,99,  3,  117.0, 23.0,   25.0
 770.1,  27.9, 1258.2,    1, 0,99,  9,  201.9, 14.7,    7.6
1941.1,  13.9,  367.3, 1003, 0,99, 45,  859.5,  4.0,  308.1
1921.2,  13.9,  332.0, 1002, 0,99, 47,  571.4,  7.0,  194.1
 187.0,  25.4, 1832.6, 1001, 0,99, 45,  923.7, 10.0,  864.7
 223.4,  25.5, 1873.3, 1000, 0,99, 47,  125.6,  9.0,  454.1
 886.6, 145.2,  776.7,    2, 0,99, 56,  244.2, 29.3,   81.2
 886.0, 161.0,  777.1,    1, 0,99, 55,  244.2, 29.3,   81.2
meaning that:
light portal to Jungle (47) uses condition 1000
light portal to Desert (45) uses condition 1001
dark portal to Jungle (47) uses condition 1002
dark portal to Desert (45) uses condition 1003

in order to define these conditions, we need the name definition of the D-Water relics, we found them in Obelisk.ini under "zone_0" block:
Obelisk_001: Flagrans

Obelisk_002: Lucifera

Obelisk_003: Inferus

Obelisk_004: Remetion

Obelisk_005: Medius

Obelisk_006: Entis

Obelisk_007: Heres

now come our actual access restrictions, of course you will define your own conditions, and depending of your choices portals will have exclusive access (if light & dark need to own the same relic) or concurrency access (if relics are listed once).

for this example, the following conditions are used:

Light:
have access to Jungle when they own Medius (5) & Remetion (4)
have access to Desert when they own Medius (5) & Lucifera (2), Entis (6)

Dark:
have access to Jungle when they own Medius (5) & Flagrans (1)
have access to Desert when they own Medius (5) & Inferus (3), Heres(7)

we simply translate these conditions to portal restrictions definition in obelisk.ini file.
it comes:
Code:
[Portal_001, (0, 1000)]
	[light] = (0,Obelisk_004),(0,Obelisk_005)
[Portal_002, (0, 1001)]
	[light] = (0,Obelisk_002),(0,Obelisk_005),(0,Obelisk_006)
	
[Portal_003, (0, 1002)]
	[fury]  = (0,Obelisk_001),(0,Obelisk_005)	
[Portal_004, (0, 1003)]
	[fury]  = (0,Obelisk_003),(0,Obelisk_005),(0,Obelisk_007)
where syntax is:
[Portal_NNN, (mapID, conditionID)]
[country] = (map,obelisk) [ , (map,obelisk) ]

NNN is an incremental index starting at 001
mapID is the index of the map containing the portal
conditionID is the 'Faction' member of the portal definition

country is 'light' or 'fury' and is followed by a list of (id of map containing the relic, name in obelisk.ini of the relic to own) couples.

Castor explained it very well. Also here is the original topic If you want to read it

Edit : Don't forget to change your portal id in svmaps

I wantd to put this on my server have an invasion system like that in EP5 ... Is there anyway to get the messages to work or is it Automatic?

I mean like when PR is open it tells you lights can invade (sorry was a lil vague o first attempt)

mabejenta · 09/07/2012, 16:54

I don't know if this help's or not, but if you want a portal to allways be open so that people can invade eachother, why not just add a NPC that takes them to the map you want to let them invade?

If that is not the case, you can actually add custom portals in the obelisk.ini, and if you copy the sone 64 codes, and add a new portal with theese things, you should be good to go. All you need to do, is edit the coord, and what type of portal it is, and when you want it to be open. I've tested that a couple times, and managed to make special portals. However, I failed at adding the graffics to the portals.

Hope that helps.

first to do so you need to edit and add new notice commands as you see this file in your data.sah, the file name is sysmsg-uni this is how to edit messages in game of deaths etc as you will see my customized settings i already done.

Spoiler

liston28727 · 09/08/2012, 21:32

My question is how do you get the messages to appear when the corresponding action takes place in the game???

yea it does when doing so make sure you make a new notice and make sure its
<#Of the digit>"[Notice]<main.starting.word.here><p>other part of speech here<p>"
then edit the map to were as guild rankings has a date of time that it notices matching the new notice in what map zone you made for it that is how i got mine as well as removing the guild ranking since that its a full free pvp and we do pvp guild vs guild events easy to do this if you know what your doing following steps. thanks regards legions of shaiya

so from what you are saying if you "[Notice]<104><p>Map 104 is now open<p>"

and add the create time in map 104 it would display this notice when the map opens ? if not im at a loss i realy wanna get some notices going when certin maps open up any 1 alse been able to get this working ?

That not what i was asking AxelMac i have a 6.3 server fully working invasion system thats ws not my question my question was how this guy says he got notices working on difrent maps at certin times like GRB the invasion notice to say the portal is open things like that

AxelMac · 11/03/2015, 01:15

need add system of invasion, after edit ur sysmsg-uni.txt as listed above, and working, i use a client 5.4 and working, if want know how edit maps or altar that they have to do, reply and we help, if you edit it and apply this file (obelisk.ini and map70) invasion system working. now I think this is the problem, or did not understand the question

Big_ · 11/03/2015, 08:01

this is deffinatly not my problemas i have sed i run a 6.3 server and have fully working invasion system im talking bout notices for diffrent maps being opend for events and other things

but thanx anyways =)

Truth1010 · 11/03/2015, 18:30

I believe it's inside the sysmsg.ini inside client. Lookup the line for IO or GRB and it should give some info as how it works/what is needed. Do you get any message at all when invasion activates (even if it says message error 1808 (for example)) or is it completely blank with no notices?

Failing that, i would suggest to attach CE and trace what happens when one of those map notices appears, try figure it out that way. Haven't tried myself, but doesn't seem that it would be too hard.
