Possible Problems with Custom Maps

CZ posted the following on the Official AO boards. Fix for the "crashing when selecting map" problem Your maps are located in this folder: \Anarchy Online\cd_image\textures\PlanetMap\ Each map is in its own subfolder here. The new Dovve map is in the subfolder "Dovves". The original map - or any custom map you use instead - is located in the subfolder "normal". If you have a custom map, you most likely have a backup folder where you put the original map, and it's when trying to select this backup map you crash. (If you have the same crash as me, that is.) Each map consist of a .bin file and a .txt file. The .txt file contains - among other things - the location of the .bin file. Open the .txt file in notepad or similar. The line with the .bin file location looks like this: code: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- File normal\PlanetMapGfxNormal.bin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now change the "normal" part with the name of the subfolder these map files are located in ("backup" in my case), save the file, and the maps selection should work properly. You might also want to add a name tag to the map - and any custom map you have - while your at it, to more easily identify them in the selection menu. To do this, open the .txt file for the map and add this line at the very top of the file: code: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name "The name of your map" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use the .txt file for Dovve's as a reference if you want to make sure it looks correct. I hope that helped, and that people enjoy the new map system. ----------------------------------------- The thread containing the above information and a few bugs found in the 14.8 patch can be found here
