Map Pack 3.7

[Sigi]

I've said it before but some things can't be said enough:

Thank you all so very much for that marvelous map pack.
I love it, it makes Istarian life so much easier and therefor better
I hope you can keep up this good work for a very long time!

[Berdagauret]

Yup, this is something that needs to be said more often, so, thanks for the reminder!

Huge thanks to all of those involved with the MapPack...it is *awesome*!

Your links are a bit strange, they're not working.

Copying link location gives me "http://a href=http://istariareference.com/istaria/mappack.asp#download"

[Radamanthas]

Thanks Cegaiel! The new files work as expected.

Pharaxes, the links didn't work for me, either, but if you just go straight to http://istariareference.com/mappack.asp you can download the new map pack. (v15.03.09)

[Pharaxes]

I did, but I just wanted to let Cegaiel know about this

[Nidhoggr]

Straight to download
http://istariareference.com/mappack/...e_15.03.09.exe

or to the Map pack download section.

Cegaiel just added "/istaria/" to the URL, which broke the link.

I've noticed the Fiery Rift map is broken. I've re-uploaded the .exe and .zip files with the fix. They still have the same version numbers. So can re-download to fix or edit /resources_override/resources/interface/maps/fieryrift/map.def (change float MetersToPixels = 1.5 to 2.0)

Map Pack v15.06.22 is now available. No new features to report, just catching up on marker updates. More information is on patch notes.

Thank you, deleted 271/230 T5 Fabric Distaff/T5 Loom

[Slimey]

A small correction. There is a cedar symbol at 275/254. I believe there are nothing but Yew trees there. Please look at this and maybe change. Thanks. Slimey on Order

I'm fairly sure it works like this.

The very first time you install map pack, it looks in the registry (Start, Run, Regedit) for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Virtrium\Istaria\ for the (Default) key where Istaria was installed to (with the Istaria game's installer). If it finds this key, then map pack would prefill in this location (but you can still change it during install with Browse button). If it doesn't find the key (ie you have new copy of windows and restored a backup and didn't use Virtrium's installer) then it prefills the default of C:\Program Files (x86)\Istaria.



Once map pack is installed, the first time, it then creates HKEY_CURRENT_USER\IstariaReference\Mappack\Install Dir with the location you chose to install it in. As you see here, I have multiple copies of the game and mine is different than above screenshot, but this is where I want map pack updated.



All future patches will now use this InstallDir

----
You have two choices to choose another location and have it remember your new location for future (when applying updates/patches - This doesn't give a choice of where to apply it, it will always automatically install to the location where it was originally installed - InstallDIR).

1) Run Regedit and manually change that path/location for InstallDir key.
2) Goto Control Panel, Programs, Uninstall. Highlight Map Pack 3.7 and choose Uninstall. It will also remove all the keys in registry. Now run the Map Pack .exe installer again. Now you have the opportunity to choose the game folder you want it to install to now and in future. It will add the keys again with the new InstallDir.

----
Glad you got it figured out. I was scratching my head about the Lone wolf

[Cegaiel]

Ah, that location is by the marker for Daknor in the swamp. That isn't his spawn point, its just to mark a path he can possibly walk when he spawns at 285/231. Neither actually spawn in the swamp.

For him to have walked over to the swamp, he had to have spawned at the 285/231 marker and walked. He would have eventually walked back to 285/231. Thanks, I'll add a marker near Daknor in the swamp to mark his possible wandering path.

Well it didn't look it with Avatar of Pain it was staying in that location.

[Spyrioyo]

Avatar of Pain at Coordinates [28226, 22953] or around that. Me and him a friend beat him there.

[Cegaiel]

Updated chests by Queen and all Dung Pile chests to include Ancient. The chest can spawn at any of those locations.

OK, hope no one has turned this one in. At 217/230. map shows a T5 loom/distaff. There is only open space there now. There is one now by essence chamber north of there. Thanks. Slimey
