RoF maps

[rogues]

Has anybody had any luck converting maps for RoF eqresource? I've tried various scripts here (the ones that still have valid links) as well as the shell script mapconvert, but I'm not getting white lines. Any ideas?

Same, I did notice from being in basement in City of Bronze that the z axis seems to be considerably off though, wonder if thats related? (Had to change floor and ceiling values to get the right floorplan to show, when I turned on height filtering it was showing the wrong floor).

I haven't checked that part out yet. For a couple of the zones I'm just using emacs to do a find and replace, changing all of the "0, 0, 0" lines to "128, 128, 128". Now to figure out the zone numbers for each of them to fix zones.h. I will try to do that today.

I was able to update some of the new zones in zones.h...

{ NULL, NULL }, // 751
{ "shardslanding", "Shard's Landing" }, // 752
{ "xorbb", "Valley of King Xorbb" }, // 753
{ NULL, NULL }, // 754
{ NULL, NULL }, // 755
{ NULL, NULL }, // 756
{ "breedinggrounds", "The Breeding Grounds" }, // 757
{ "eviltree", "Evantil, the Vile Oak" }, // 758
{ "grelleth", "Grelleth's Palace, the Chateau of Filth" }, // 759
{ "chapterhouse", "Chapterhouse of the Fallen" }, // 760
{ NULL, NULL }, // 761
{ NULL, NULL }, // 762
{ NULL, NULL }, // 763
{ NULL, NULL }, // 764
{ NULL, NULL }, // 765
{ "phinteriortree", "Evantil's Abode" }, // 766
{ NULL, NULL }, // 767

Magelo only had 7 zones as of last weekend. When I checked today they were down for maintenance. I'll look again when they are back up and see if I can fill in the rest.

Thanks, I was just coming here to post Shard's Landing and Chapterhouse but it looks like you're way ahead of me once again. If I get a chance to visit the other zones before you do I'll post them.

Every little bit helps... I jumped on IRC for the first time and got a ton of help there. Hopefully will be able to post some updates this weekend to SVN. So appreciative of all the help

You need to extract the zones from the exe. Isn't there a script for that checked in?

Yes there is a script, but it bombs on the latest exe

Did anyone get RoF maps working and drawing correctly ?

Mine show up just the text desriptions. Is there anything different about teh maps from eqresource compared to mapfiend?
All my mapfiend maps appear to be ok but can't find any rof ones on there.

You need to change all the black lines to another color. I went through with emacs and changed all the blacks to grey (think to 128, 128, 128). You need to be careful about how you use the replace function to make sure you get just the black lines.

[Spanners]

Ah, I did see that but didn't pick up on what you meant, thanks will do!

[fransick]

here's a snippet of a perl script someone posted a long time ago (perhaps ksmith?) that works well for converting maps

#!env perl -pi

# Description: Converts black lines and points in EQ-style maps to black.
# Usage: whitelines.pl file [file2 file3 ...]

s/(,\s*0){3}(\s*)$/, 255, 255, 255$2/;

Even better, thanks!

Which mapconvert script did you use to convert these new RoF maps? It doesn't seem to be working right with the stickied mapconvert bash script.

Looked like I just needed to run ./mapconvert zonename.txt individually on each zone.txt file (after deleting all the _2, _3, etc)
