Default .map Generator

After hearing Cisyouc whine about not having .map files for new-style (eqg) zones, I took matters into my own hands and started work on one in python. I wrote everything up until the quadtree outputting for the .map, then I gave up and decided to just modify azone, FatherNitwit's .map generator. After about 10 minutes of hacking away at the source, I made it use openeq's new file loading mechanism, and made it properly output .map's for new-style zones.

http://home.archshadow.com/~daeken/azone_eqg.tar.bz2 is the source.

It _should_ build on Windows OK, but who knows.

Anyway, enjoy.

Happy Hacking,
Lord Daeken M. BlackBlade

bumping this thread mainly to draw attention. If anybody has this file laying around, I would like to get ahold of it, as it seems to be lost at this time.

Did'nt Windcatcher use a prototype of this for his .map generator within OpenZone. Perhaps he has the source?

Getting this seems to be a dead- end and having a tool like this should be a priority.
I wonder what needs to be done to make this converter?
Exactly what files are needed from eqg for the map file?

Need to bump this post. I asked him about the source for this tool and he said he would look and post a copy here if/when he could find it. Thanx again Daeken!!

P.S. - Love the work your doing on the database angelox.

Being a packrat is a good thing, and I do remember getting this guy to compile and work under Linux when it first hit.

Make sure you reset the underworld field in the zones table, alot of zones have to be reset as their default is 0. I set most of the 0's to -2000, myself.
