Dark/Issues with maps after using updater
« on: February 26, 2006, 07:04:55 pm »
These files were posted to help people get the new maps.  However, they were eventually put up on the update servers.  You should not need these.  This is an old thread, so please don\'t download these trying to fix anything. -- DaveG




When using the updater, some maps got screwed.
That\'s because the updater server still misses some required files, particularly those involving lighting, and also those that involve grass.
So people using updater has problems with dark maps and no grass being showed.
A little of investigation showed the source of those issues. There\'s a folder called cache, that has changed to reflect the new lighting that isn\'t avaiable on updater. Same with grass image files.
Thanks to Hokinon, and specially to Bereror we discovered those issues.
Till the updater doesn\'t have the files that needs, so people using it catches those new images for grass and new cache folder for maps, players will continue to experience that darkness.
In order to solve that, I upload correctly lighted versions of maps (I think they all are correct :P) something that anybody with a fresh installation should have already.
I\'ll be editing the post as I add more maps. Since they\'re large downloads (mainly because that way the \"updating\" it\'s easier) just download the maps that are causing you trouble.

The first one was made using Ligh relighted Ojaroad map, the second using the original file. Perhaps this second one has better night feeling. Mmm... I think they\'re more or less the same, forget the mention :P

How to \"update\"? Quit your client. Download the desired file by selecting the \"free\" tab. Once done, navigate to your planeshift directory art/world Keep a copy of your original file somewhere else on your computer. Replace the whole .zip file by the new one you downloaded (that is, simply drop the new zip file in world directory) launch the game. It should work.

NPCroom is where some NPCs are stored when they aren\'t used on any other maps. It\'s also a resting place for GMs :3 Podium is the map/screen your character is on during character selection, with the rotating pedestal thing.

NARG! I HATE RapidShare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should have uploaded elsewhere....or at LEAST to something like freewebs or 0catch. I can\'t stand download lines and limits!

EDIT: Downloaded the first two files. Reached my limit, gotta wait 60 minutes to download any more.

EDIT2: Hey, if I keep going on like this it will take me more than 10 hours just to get lighted maps! Even getting floor seats for YC is faster than this!

You could probably just download the full installer in less time.  Frankly, the best way to upgrade is to uninstall the old version, after backing up your data and data/options, and install the new release clean.  (then put back your data and data/options, and run the updater)  Most problems with this release are associated with updating, and you really don\'t need to futz with it.  You\'ll have to download all these maps at some point; might as well do it all at once with the 0.3.013 package.

Actually, I only used that update thingy because the download mirrors weren\'t working and bit torrent said it would take 18 weeks to download.

As to make a remark:

In the first post I tried to say that people should download only the maps they need. Why I chose rapidshare? Because it\'s fast, and I thought that normally, only 1-2 downloads were really needed.
Again, the objective wasn\'t download all maps starting from the first till the last.
So, for instance, sesmi: Remember you\'ve always the option of -fullbright to see what map you were in. Even the loading screen can give you hints on that.
The objective was: you know which map you\'re in and is failing, you go and get it. Where those files should really be uploaded? To the updater server.
I\'ll try to host some files then on other similar websites, and I\'ll have a look specially at ojaroad one, I think I used the one that Ligh relighted and perhaps I should have used the old one.
Are there any MoonSeekers left?

I understand that, DaveG. But as far as I can tell, all my maps are dead. I am standing at a crossroads so I know at least three aren\'t working.

As far as I know there\'s a part of  Hydlaa that\'s lighted and that\'s about it. Of course, I haven\'t been able to get too far before falling to my death and then being blind in the death realm unable to escape....
