View Full Version : [Merged] In game map
Hi guys,
sorry for this but i have another stupid question.
when i used to play nc, i swear i used to have a map in game that used to state where everything was (caves etc).
if this is still allowed and avaiable, can some one tell me how to get it and what i have to do in order to use it please. thanks
ps, whilst im here, is there a way to change to text font in game, i find it hard to read.
thanks
pps, shout out to THN, i have been reading over past 2 days and it is proper helpful, its ideal for idoits like me, so well done and ty to those who did all the work on that.
The wiki has a mapping project going on, and in the maps section is a map version that has most caves n stuff
cool. i have seen that on thier, my concern was if i DL one of those maps, if i hit my world map button will it show this map or the one that comes with the game, as if i alt tab out of nc, my game crashes!
I think this pack (http://www.techhaven.org/component/option,com_docman/Itemid,133/task,doc_details/gid,135/) contains some ingame versions, not 100% sure though.
You should also be aware that according to the Neocron 2 rules of conduct, (or is it the ToS?) you are not allowed to modify any files without the permission of Reakktor. Being caught doing so will normally result in a ban.
Currently, you are allowed to modify any ini files (as per RoC/ToS), certain R.P.O.S. files as detailed here, and map files as authorised in some german post (quoted here (http://forum.neocron.com/showpost.php?p=2113821&postcount=25).
There are also some specifically authorised modifications that do some generally forbidden things. Namely the UneX Launcher and ItemGFX.
Anyway, back to the subject - check out that map pack from Zheo - it's based on the awesome old neocron.ems.ru one and some updates found by him and others.
The wiki project aims to eventually do what FN was trying for with the world guide - IE every zoneline, vendor and useful structure in a zone, combine witha list of mobs sited. Needs some effort in building up the mobs and trader lists of the wiki too though.
Oh, and if you have any corrections/feedback/whatever about the THN, either post it on the THN forums or let one of the THN website team (http://forum.techhaven.org/groupcp.php?g=312) know.
cool thanks, i dont want to be doing anything underhand or anything seen as cheating / exploiting etc.
so if i Dl th map packaage in your first sentence, i trust that this is all 'legal' to use? and will it be automatically available to use in game if i DL.
im really sorry for the stupidness but when it comes to computers, i literally press play game and off i go. have no idea about changing files or editing them etc. wouldnt even know where to find them!

Hmm, seems all that map pack has is alternative maps for out of game use. You could print one out though.
No, to have a different ingame map you'd need to replace the existing file. Neocron uses some odd compressed bitmap format as well.
Is there anybody reading who could make Zheo's map ingame compatible?

Thanks, and also thanks for the PM much appreciated by all of us. :)
As Cmaster says, if you find anything that wrong, let us know, and also don't forget the Wiki http://wiki.techhaven.org
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A WIKI IS!!!!! LOL. i have been on the site and trying to work out what it stands for!

How the existence of wikipedia has passed you by I have no idea.
told you i was stupid good job im blonde tbh.
I am looking for information to change my default map to an updated map with the locations of everything on it. I already have the map file but I am unsure as to where to place or name it. If anyone could link me to a guide or explain where/how I would be thankful.
wow .. a big thumbs-up to the few ppl that maintain and feed the wiki – that thing has really grown a lot from when I last checked :)
sooo does anyone know how to change your default map ingame to the updated one? I can not find any information regarding this anywhere...
Is there anybody reading who could make Zheo's map ingame compatible?
I can make his Nema map compatible, since it has a similar sector structure. His other maps won't line up in-game, so the "You are here" X won't work on those. The only problem with his Nema map is it's missing some information compared to his others.
Anyways, these aren't very high quality. In particular there's some odd graphical problems in the ocean water areas.
Here (http://www.sendspace.com/file/z85gyu) is an in-game world map I made for you guys, based on Zheo's modified Nema map.
As the text file says, place it in the Neocron2\gfx\maps directory. You will need to create this directory yourself.
If anyone wants me to upload it somewhere else, let me know.
urm, isn't this all a bit "breaking the rules"?
