Missing Map Files

[Pharaxes]

Hi everyone,

I just updated to the latest blight patch (386.5) and now when I want to open my map, the following message occurs:


But thats not true. In my ClientPrefs_Common.def there is the following line:

	string mapPath = "resources_override\resources\interface\maps"

Now I wonder if there's something wrong with the blight patch. I noticed, there are some more def files in the resources\interface\maps folder which are not in resources_override\interface\maps. Can anyone confirm/not confirm?

Edit:
I patched back to live and the map is there again (with default settings...) so something must have changed with the map behaviour

Sorry we're a bit slow on providing updated information on the map functionality. With the 386.5 client, you'll need a new map file:
maps.def

This should be located in your mapPath folder and lists the map folders to load.

Given your setup:
string mapPath = "resources_override\resources\interface\maps"

You'd need a maps.def file located at:
resources_override\resources\interface\maps\maps.d ef
(for reference see: resources\interface\maps\maps.def)

GAME_MAP_LIST
{
string map1 = "Aughundell"
string map2 = "Balit's"
string map3 = "Tazoon"
string map4 = "Chiconis"
string map5 = "Dalimond"
}

You can add as many maps as you would like. Just list them following the same format.

Does one need to make two versions of a map pack now? One for the blight client and one for the live client or will the live client just ignore the files if they're there?

Only one version of the map pack is needed. The live client will ignore the new maps.def and just read in all the folders. The Blight client will read the maps.def, then load those folders described.
