Some comments:
Re #4: It's still good practice that you name the files yourself like that but I have since created some admin tools for adding new maps to the server which will rename the files regardless of their original name, so for our purposes it doesn't matter anymore what the name is.
Re #24: As soon as I find out how to convert and crop the .dds via .php that step will become redundant as well but for now it's still needed.
Re #27: The menugroup defines under which category of the left map drowdown the map appears in game. It should reflect the region of Norrath the dungeon you mapped is located in. Currently supported values are:
- Karan
- DLere
- Zek
- The Enchanted Lands
- Everfrost (Island)
- Feerrott (Island)
- Lavastorm (Island)
- Desert of Ro
- Overrealm
- Mara
- Faydwer
- Kunark
- Innothule
- Miscellaneous
As new expansions covering new regions are released we will be adding to this list.
Re #28: In addition to the heightmin/heightmax values for switching between maps of different heights you can also use AvailableRect to switch maps within a horizontal plane. An AvailableRect is the same as a ZoneRect, but only for a segment of that zone.
Furthermore, if you have overlapping AvailableRects (e.g. a large map for the entire zone and a more detailed map for some part within it) you can use the AvailablePriority parameter to tell the game which map it should give priority if it finds that you are within the ZoneRect/AvailableRect or more than one map.
