If anyone could help would apperaciate it

Upgrade to Server 1.11 Client 1.15.14 and verify you have the latest offsets.

Turn on Logging (F1 - Logging set to 1), post log file.

Which map is it?

Can you manually load it?

[ozzbot]

Finally got a chance to test it, upgraded like you said, map wont load at all. I even tried to manually load it, the message i get on top of the screen is ERROR LOADING MAP: C:\WSEQ\MYSEQ-1.15.12\MAPS\TAKG_262_1.TXT Even when i try to manually load it, say's the asme thing, do i not have the latest files, I've even download the latest ones or am i doing somethign wrong ..thx for taking your time to look at the post and such appercaite it very much

Seems like an odd file name

C:\WSEQ\MYSEQ-1.15.12\MAPS\TAKG_262_1.TXT

Mine is simply called TAKG.TXT

When you try to File / Open Map and broswe to the location, does that map name exist or is it called what mine is called?

If it is called _262_ might rename it, try to load again.

Could even check out this thread also:

Map Self Installer and download location

Delete all the maps, re download them.

I went to the mapfiend link as listed in the other page about maps.

The map name listed on the web page says _246_ but when you download the file it changes to takg.map or takg_1.txt

So, anyways, might try remaing the file or deleting them and downloading the self installer or try simple renmaing it.

I don't remember TAKG_262_1.txt files but as Bob said those are not the ones that autoload.

I'll try to give it a whirl, renaming the file and just reupdated my files from good ole' link ya gave me. Does the program look for that perticular file or should i just copy all of htem rename them and put a _262_ in them?

Not sure if that would help or not just, trying to bounce idea's, since i do alot of LDOn with out a tracker would be nice to have this able to work

[MQSEQ2]

The _262_ is what's causing the issue. If you look in the lower right hand corner you will see the Short Zone Name, that is used in loading the correct map file.

// Try it as a SEQ map first
if (!loadmap(f + ".map")) {							
	// If it didn't work, try a LoY map
	if (!loadmap(f + ".txt")) {
		bool foundmap = false;
		for (int mapnum = 3; mapnum > 0; mapnum--) {
			if (loadmap(string.Format("{0}_{1}.txt", f, mapnum))) {
				foundmap = true;
				break;
			}
		}
		//... Missing map       
		if (!foundmap) {							
			loadDummyMap();
			this.Text = BaseTitle + string.Format(" - Couldn't find a map for the zone: {0}", si.Name);
		}
	}
}

Based on the code above:
It will try to open {Short Zone Name}.map.
If not found it will try to open {Short Zone Name}.txt.
If not found it will try to open {Short Zone Name}_1.txt.
If not found it will try to open {Short Zone Name}_2.txt.
If not found it will try to open {Short Zone Name}_3.txt.

Hmm i'll have to give it a try then, Kinda wierd because the old map's had no 262 in the name at all, but i'll give it a try soon as i can find an ldon group hehe thx for the info

[MQSEQ2]

Make sure you turn on Logging and post you log here.

[slartibartfast]

You have the wrong offset for zone address.

Use:
ZoneAddr=7894600

[MQSEQ2]

I guess I need to test the ZoneAddr tonight, since both locations points to the Short Zone name and that's whats used populate the map name.

[ozzbot]

It appear's to be working now to an extent

THough map's are off some but gives me a great idea only if i could tell what's a named or not LOL

[MQSEQ2]

For us to fix the issue we need as much details as we can get.

What Zone are you trying?

What ZoneAddr are you using?

What Client are you using?

What is the Zone name in the lower right?

Going to try, i'm running the latest version you suggested, i dl'd new map's, i even got map's from mapfiend that were .map
i just zone dinto takd which is also called " The Royal Observatory". I just zoned in and i got this first message.. "Failed to load map C:\wseq\MySEQ-1.15.12\maps\takd.map: index was outside the bounds of the array, then it fail's out of thta and will load a txt file map or it did on the dungeon before this one, but this dungeon isn't even showing up now. Lower bottom right say's TakD. Zoneaddr is 7894600 like the post before a few of these said, which work's for some but maybe not working now or maybe i just f'd up. I tried manually loading them too.. SEQ is version 1.15.14:36840, sever is 1.11 version which is what was suggested to use , works' for everything but ldon it seem's. I even turned on logging but for some reason i dont have a log double checking now, didn't find it. I dont know what i'm doing wrong ,fi someoen coudl help would apperacite it, i'm here all day today keeping to try it
