VMaps Custom Maps

hey guys,

 

i downloaded a created custom map from a guy named NotCoffee418, exported maps and vmaps well and it works fine.

After that I created my custom map ADT files and opened it in Rius Zone Masher, load the apt and saved it. Added DBC entry in Map.dbc. Created a new mpq file and exported it to the project for noggit.

I can open it in Noggit without any errors but if I want to create the VMaps my map is not listed in the log from the extractor, but the map from NotCoffee418 is listed.

 

What is my mistake?

 

Thanks guys :) and sorry for my bad english.

did you run themapextrator on ur new created patch with this new info? vmaps or map data has to be extracted from the patch, when putting a new map in it this has to be re extracted to get this info.

My experience with server side map extractors is that they do not correctly open all MPQs in search for Map.dbc. It's likely that the vmap extractor opens outdated Map.dbc, perhaps from the Locale folder. To prevent that from happening, I was putting my DBCs into Locale as well. I am not 100% sure about the specifics, but there was somewhere a tutorial for server side maps I wrote here.

I am now completely retired from modding. I am still reading PMs and reacting to them, however, I am not keeping up to date with what is going on in the community and my ability to help you is becoming very limited - I no longer remember some things, I don't have tools installed anymore, and I don't know what is up to date nowadays.
