Help - New Custom Maps - server will not run

[Anora]

Please help. I love this tool it is fantastic but now I have added my own custom maps, same size as ML map.0 and map.1 and the server will only blink at me when I try to run it. I have deleted it and replaced the files 4 times trying to get it to work. It worked fine until I added in the new maps. :?

What error message does it give? Also: not only the size of map*.mul is important, staidx*.mul too.

It closes so quickly I can not read any errors. I heard that there was a .bat file I could get that would hold it open but can not seem to find it. Yes my staidx.mul changed but I had it all in my UO directory with the server.

The bat file is available here //http://www.aksdb.de/board/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3&start=10 Should be 3rd or 4th post down. Make sure its in the folder with the server and Use it to Execute the server . It should keep the server window from closing.

I am seeing the link to the .bat file but it takes me to a page like this:
white page and this, cmd /k cedserver.exe


so all I need do is run that ? I did not download any file

You can open a new textfile, name it how you like, end it with .bat and copy the text to this file.
Or you go to the Thread again and right click the link, choosing something like Save as (Ziel speichern unter) downloads the file.

Also you can start the cmd your own and start there the cedserver, like at //http://www.aksdb.de/board/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=40&start=10

Just right click the .bat file link and choose save as , change it from Text Document to All Files and it should save as a .bat file. If it still comes out as .bat.txt just rename to .bat.

well now isn't that interesting, says my map file is not the right size. Thank you I will double check my file etc as I know it should be 896X512. This just made this tool better, thank you all again

Think I found the real problem. Somehow my statics mul is now empty. Trying to find that problem fix then have a feeling this tool will work as I have always had it do in the past which is what I love.
