Re: Map Pack 3.25e(enhanced)
I really hate to do this but......
The rift map HAS to be 1000 x 500 for the coordinates to work, the one installed with this pack is only 500 x 250. That is the reason I used Dorrins map as it was to scale +/- 1 or 2 pixels.
Re: Map Pack 3.25e(nhanced)
for me everything seems to be okay, NPCs are on their correct places. Maybe you can send me a screenshot? Otherwise i scale the map up.

Are you using the wrong map.def or installing on top of an old one?
Check this line:
float MetersToPixels = 4.0
That's used to convert world coordinates to pixel coordinates so the markers (in world coords) show up in the right place on the map (pixel coords).
The area covered by the map is 2000m x 1000m. If your terrain image is 500px x 250px, you need a MetersToPixels of 4.0 (1000m / 250px = 4m/px). The 1000 x 500 terrain image uses a MetersToPixels of 2.0 (1000m / 500px = 2m/px). If you swap the image without changing the value, you'll wind up with map markers properly aligned for a different size image.
The fix is easy: change the MetersToPixels to whatever value is appropriate for the terrain image you're using.

Don't do that -- it will waste memory and impact performance on mid/low-end machines.
Re: Map Pack 3.25e(nhanced)
That is what I've done Steelclaw, and for me everything is all right, I did the same when I exchanged the maps for New Trismus and it's working too.
That's why I'd like a screenshot to get a idea what may be wrong.
Re: Map Pack 3.25e(nhanced)
I've just installed this (from the .exe version) and the only thing I get in game is a completely black screen. No drop down menus, no icons, and definitely no map..
anyone else get this?
Re: Map Pack 3.25e(nhanced)
Check your clientprefs_common.def file - it's most likely pointing to an incorrect map directory. (The black map is what happens when the game can't find any actual maps.)
Re: Map Pack 3.25e(nhanced)
discovered the problem - the word "string" was missing from my .def file (this was a change from the previous version, wasn't it?). Works fine now!
Re: Map Pack 3.25e(nhanced)
Nope, string is part of the def file format and has been there since launch. :)

Re: Map Pack 3.25e(nhanced)
ok now the map itself is working, how come i have NO resource icons.. and as always seemed to happen with the map pack, only ONE column of icons I can switch on/off (which does NOT include resource markers). The markers are black & white only, and a very small range..
occasionally the original map packs would reinstall ok, and I could get the two columns of icons, enabling me to switch the options on or off. Every time there was a patch though, I'd need to reinstall it as the second row of columns would vanish and the resource markers would disappear. Just like now. But two reinstalls have not fixed this one..
Re: Map Pack 3.25e(nhanced)
ok it was a MEGA blonde moment.. despite being brunette. blame it on a heavy cold and a muzzy head.
My problem? I'd installed the map pack on my OTHER computer... DOH..

Re: Map Pack 3.25e(nhanced)

thanks in advance!

Check the path again, the patchwork/checkers board map indicates it not correct.
The path is sometimes reset to the default value.
If it still don't work post the line here so we can check if its correct use copy and paste.
Re: Map Pack 3.25e(nhanced)
If you get the chess board look of the map then please have a look at this file, open it with the windows editor:
horizons/prefs/ClientPrefs_Common.def:
the line in the bottom of the file:
string mapPath = "resources_override/resources/interface/maps"
This gets reset to default after a full scan or patches and maybe sometimes after a client crash.
Re: Map Pack 3.25e(nhanced)
Yep! it had resest and when i re did the line the last bracket was one space down leaving an empty line - duh! now its working fantasticly well, will help my exploration muchly thanks!!
Re: Map Pack 3.25e(nhanced)
great that you continue the great work of the scouts!!
hope to see your mappack soon ingame ^^
