Thread: Where did the map tiles go?

  1. #1

    Question Where did the map tiles go?

    Hi everyone,

    I remember that in the world_cache there would be graphic files (can't remember if jpg or png) created for the sectors you were in.

    This way I could create a map out of all the tiles in there.

    Now I noticed, that these files aren't created anymore at all. Is there some kind of setting for it?

    Always loved to create a nice map of Istaria

    They are still there.

    then for each sector, they are in there as png's. The Topomap.exe makes em into maps in pieces or a single image.

    Not for me:

    And yes, I DID walk around alot already since I emptied the world cache folder. The files are not generated. I tried with and without the DX9 shaders loaded.

    Still all I get in ALL sector folders are the aei files:


    Even though I tried playing around with the graphic settings *sobs* Topomap will only generate black tiles when I use the texturemap option

    for a test I completely removed my prefs and world cache folder and it generated the PNG files again.

    So either somehow it doesn't like my world cache being filled with everything BUT the PNGs or there must be an option preventing the game from creating tiles...

    I just reset my global prefs. Somehow this was enough for the map tiles to appear again. Strange...

    I do wonder, what resolution one should use with topomap. As the original pics are just 128x128.
