Default [map] Trial of Harclave

Edit* Uggh, I forgot to include "map_" infront of the .dds file when I renamed it. * It works fine now. I am so Lame! Hopefully tonight I can clear the zone one more time and finish mapping.

************************************************



I started mapping Trial of Harclave (solo instance) and found it was difficult to map this maze without seeing my progress. I was hoping to get my partial map into the game so I can see what I have done and what remains unfinished.

In looking at some of the code for the rest of the splitpaw zones, I am having trouble figuring out what I need to do to put this partial map into the game. I am hoping I only have to do this one more time to finish mapping this zone, because you have to clear the entire zone before you start mapping. Unless, ofcourse, you can sneak or invis. LOL

This is the code regarding splitpaw in the core_mapstyles.xml file:

<ImageStyle Name="adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw_0" zonerect="-62,-266,149,-22" heightmax="-51">
<ImageFrame Name="imageFrame" Source="images/maps/map_adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw_0.dds" SourceRect="0,0,436,506"/>
</ImageStyle>
<ImageStyle Name="adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw_1" zonerect="-111,-265,150,33" heightmin="-51">
<ImageFrame Name="imageFrame" Source="images/maps/map_adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw_1.dds" SourceRect="0,0,436,506"/>
</ImageStyle>
<ImageStyle Name="adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw_2" zonerect="-60,-249,100,-49" availablerect="-57,-217,96,-81" availablepriority="0" heightmax="-40">
<ImageFrame Name="imageFrame" Source="images/maps/map_adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw_2.dds" SourceRect="0,0,436,506"/>
</ImageStyle>
<ImageStyle Name="adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw_hub" zonerect="-48,-321,96,-154">
<ImageFrame Name="imageFrame" Source="images/maps/map_adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw_hub.dds" SourceRect="0,0,436,506"/>
</ImageStyle>
<ImageStyle Name="adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw_1" zonerect="340,-450,900,321" availablerect="-10000,-10000,10000,-22" availablepriority="1">



My zone erect so far is: -150.14, -330.5, 132.04, -33.93

I thought I could just insert my zone erect and change the filename, but it didn't work. This is what I did:

<ImageStyle Name="adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw" zonerect="-150.14, -330.5, 132.04, -33.93">
<ImageFrame Name="imageFrame" Source="images/maps/map_adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw.dds" SourceRect="0,0,436,506"/>
</ImageStyle>

When I inserted that code into the core_mapstyles.xml file and pasted my map into the \UI\Custom\images\maps directory, the game loaded a map that was completely black and it was not fog. I am not sure what use the heightmin/max is used for, so I didn't insert that into my code.

I have inserted a picture to show you what I have done so far. As you can see, I made a few mistakes that need to be corrected and the zone is not nearly finished. Also, to get the image posted here, I had to erase some of the lines to tidy it up a bit. I am not sure which lines need to be fixed, but it's obvious that something is not right.

I am hoping you guys can help me fix the code, so that I can get this into the game and resume mapping.

Trip

P.S. Thought I would post the final image up here, for convenience.
