The Map Pack V3.2

[Saleena1]

When clicked on the link to DL the high res map, rec'd website forbidden (unable to access the link)

Any information on how to DL this wonderful map would be appreciated.

i am having the same issue does anyone know where else this map may be downloaded?

[Deth]

look for the download section on the news page. There should be a link to blue's flash download that has it.

[Saleena1]

I found it as you said Deth. Thank you

[Deth]

Your very welcome.

why is not possible anymore to download cobal map pack from ancientorder link in .exe? i tryed loads of time and wont download say i dont have permision or something

[Cobal]

I have no idea why this is not working right now, I just checked and the files are there. :s

When I get home I will look again, maybe I made some errors in the htaccess file.

[Cobal]

HI! I R Cobal, I R ztupids!!11!

Copied most of my htaccess file from some suggested templates I found.
This copied bit included denial of downloading exe, zip and other files.
Can't believe I actually missed that.
Downloads work again.

Thanks to the folks who suggested mirrors and who host the mirrors


No edit option after a certain time eh?

[Godly]

thanx a lot m8
works perfectly now

[Arietna]

any place we can download it from now? the links in your sig just point back at this forum :/

[Milandra]

Here it is in High Rez

Before it gets lost, it would be good to add it in the download section of the community website

[Cobal]

Gawd, my sig links are messed up again?
*grumble*
Seems to happen every few months.

Anyways, it won't get lost anytime soon.
I'm a dragon, I hoard, this means the ancient order download folder items never get removed

If we Unitarians ever get our shard and characters back I will go back to mapping.
Area around Harro needs updating.

downloaded the high res pack

thankyou so much for this.. it wasn't until I logged in and looked at my map (blank) when I re-downloaded HZ, that I realised how much I'd relied on your (and prior to you, Pekka) map pack.

awesome work

[Deth]

Cobal, might you update the note in the beginning of the zip file pointing to the new common def file. If I just missed it then never mind, but I think I remember from last night it still says to mod the old pref file located in the char folder.

[Cobal]

Can't patch or play Horizons atm so I have no way of testing of such a change would work.
I'll have to wait until teh time I get my charatcers back.

[Deth]

Just a couple notes with this latest patch:

The map path is now kept in Horizons\prefs\ClientPrefs_Common.txt Open that file with notepad, scroll to the bottom and change
string mapPath = "resources_override/interface/maps"
to
string mapPath = "resources/interface/maps"

That should get the map pack working again. Because of this change, you no longer need to change the map path for every individual character.

Also, if you copy the UIMapWindow.def file the installer places from
Horizons\resources\interface\themes\default\defs\
to
Horizons\resources_override\resources\interface\th emes\default\defs\
it will work and not be overwritten by each patch.

Hope this helps everyone.

This is about when and where the change was made. I bolded the section that apples. But can understand if you wish to verify it first hand. Good luck getting up and running.

when i did all that the main map of istaria is scrambled

[Deth]

Ok did you happen to change the / to | as the should be? I just noticed they are wrong in my quote. I know last night I downloaded the Hi-res pack and copied and pasted the path change from the little text file at the beginning of the unzip. Logged in and worked great for me.

[fylith]

i didnt unzip the file it came in an exe it ran itself. i just tried changing it to string mapPath = "resources|interface|maps" is that what you ment? if so all i just get is a black map screen. im so confused...

[Deth]

Sorry I meant the self extracting zip. The one I used has a text file before the unzip starts saying to make changes to X line in X file. But it is the wrong path as the file moved in a patch last year.

I just noticed that this is backwards
" string mapPath = "resources_override/interface/maps"
to
string mapPath = "resources/interface/maps" "

It should be "Change string mapPath = "resources/interface/maps" to string mapPath = "resources_override/interface/maps" "

As you need your the map files in the resources_override folder so they are not wiped out when you patch.

Edit and make sure to change this in the folder at Horizons\prefs\ClientPrefs_Common.txt
