Server Maps and The Changing Map Files

Please Note: CenterEd and the CenterEd Server are 2 completely different programs each with their own configuration settings. That being said, go to where you installed your CenterEd Server and open up the config file 'cedserver'. In here is where CenterEd looks to find which map it will open by default. Lets take a look... cedserver:

[Config]
Version=2

[Network]
Port=2597

[Paths]
map=J:EAUOmap1.mul
The map number above (highlighted blue) can be changed depending on the map you want to work on.
statics=J:EAUOstatics1.mul
The statics number above (highlighted blue) can be changed depending on the map you want to work on.
staidx=J:EAUOstaidx1.mul
The staidx number above (highlighted blue) can be changed depending on the map you want to work on.

All of these numbers mentioned above have to correspond! That means that if you're using map1.mul: (the statics number has to be: statics1.mul) and (the staidx number has to be: staidx1.mul)

Here are the values you can use:

Felucca
Map0.mul
Statics0.mul
Staidx0.mul


Trammel
Map1.mul
Statics1.mul
Staidx1.mul


Ilshenar
Map2.mul
Statics2.mul
Staidx2.mul


Malas
Map3.mul
Statics3.mul
Staidx3.mul


Tokuno
Map4.mul
Statics4.mul
Staidx4.mul


tiledata=J:EAUOtiledata.mul
radarcol=J:EAUOradarcol.mul

[Parameters]
Edit Map Parimeters Accordingly Below Using The Quoted List.

Width=896
Height=512

Quote1a..Trammel/Felucca (Pre-ML): (Width)= 768  |   (Height)= 512
1b..Trammel/Felucca (Pst-ML): (Width)= 896  |   (Height)= 512
2....Ilshenar.....................: (Width)= 288   |   (Height)= 200
3....Malas........................: (Width)= 320  |   (Height)= 256
4....Tokuno......................: (Wideth= 181 |    (Height)= 181

Bottom Line: by following this guide you will know what map you are editing so you don't make changes to Trammel thinking its Felucca.

Thanks for taking the time to write down your experience :)
Some remarks though: not all the maps have the same size. Trammel and Felucca have usually the same size, whereas Malas, Ilshenar and Tokuno are all of different sizes. It also depends on the UO version. Pre-6.0 clients for example don't have a map1.mul. Trammel is only a copy of Felucca with applied mapdif*1.mul patches (the same with statics1.mul and staidx1.mul). So most changes made to Felucca would also be applied to Trammel (except the parts which are overridden in the patch files).

I'm almost certain that what you said only holds true for older clients. lol.

If you're using client 6.0.5.0 or greater.. on 2d or the KR client you will be able to plug in the information above without a problem.  :D

hehe keep in mind I am using the most recent client 6.0.5.0 and RunUO SVN 269; Keeping what you said in mind though, you are right if you're talking the older clients. Personally I prefer the newer client because the maps are split apart and now instead of creating only 4 maps you can create 5 totally new maps.

There is a rumor circulating RunUO that you can create 6 maps but I haven't found that to be true as of yet.

To change older clients one would have to take what you said into consideration and edit the numbers on the mul files accordingly (keeping in mind that what you do for your trammel map will also affect your felucca map).

If you update your client to the most recent patch from EA. Everything stays the same as I've typed out above -assuming that CenterEd just modifies the map files (map sizes remain irrelevant as far as using CenterEd goes).

i'm flying over my 5 maps...i'm loving this program (it's not a simple tool...it's a real program :) )
