Map issue.

[noudess]

My server is about 18 months out of date with updates, etc.

I was having some water combat issues related to targets hitting me but me not being able to hit them, yet receiving no messages. Someone suggested that I should perhaps check out regenerating my map and wtr files with the latest azone and water utilities.

I downloaded the source and built these on my Ubuntu 32 bit system.

I then ran them and created new map and wtr files.

My 1st test looked good, a spot I had trouble with in combat seemed better.

However, the second character I played, I ran into LOS issues that didn't exist before. Mobs on the other side of a hill/mountain had LOS to me where before they did not.

Does the fact that I built the tools on linux and ran the on linus with the Windows directory of maps mounted come into play at all? Does the code have any platform dependant stuff? I could retry on windows but I dont have a Windows build environment at all and the precompiled binaries of the latest is for 64bit.

Think I answered my own question. My code base is too old.

I guess it migth be time to start from scratch again, then see if you guys will let me check in some of my mods using RULES or ifdefs.

I'd like to chime in and ask where the current map files can be obtained.

I ended up pulling them from my previous server.

Path files I pulled form http://www.eqpvp.com/paths/ (with a few local additions which I emailed to Image, but were never made available)

I'm working on a EQEmu Windows Server repack that has everything PEQ lined out A-Z and working with one simple MSI install that should take care of a majority of these types of threads.

If you're looking for map files you can download the latest generated from

FTP:
ezd.akkadius.com
maps/maps

This ftp site still active? Are the new apps loading as v2?
