This is the relevant stuff I gathered from Wiz's coderspeak:
You were right, DZoneConverter does work. However,
zone2map crashes when it tries to take the output file. This means that zone2map is broken, and that we have no source for it since the author left in a puff of smoke.
zone2map works by converting .scr files produced by Zone Converter to 3d node .map files (
SAMPLE) which are interpreted by EQEmu (See: map.cpp and map.h for the exact workings). Essentially, we need a working zone2map for post-Luclin zones. DZoneConverter works fine, the sample map was converted by zone2map by an .src produced by DZoneConverter as opposed to Zone Converter, but as I said it (zone2map, not DZC) crashes when you attempt to convert a Luclin+ s3d.
Please help~
