release A Step-By-Step Guide To Installing Maps In Metin2

[Queen]

Installing a custom map in Metin2 can seem daunting at first, but this tutorial will walk you through the entire process seamlessly.

Requirements:

• A map file (you can discover numerous options online).
• Access to your server, preferably utilizing WinSCP, along with a packer like EterNexus or PackMakerLite to unpack your client files.

I. Server-Side Configuration

1. Locate the Server Directory:
   Start by navigating to your server folder, specifically at metin2/share/locale/country/map. This directory contains all the server maps.

2. Add Your Map Folder:
   Inside this location, you'll need to create a new folder for your specific map. Ensure you include the following three essential files in this folder:

   • Setting.txt: Contains all important information about your map, including coordinates.
   • server_attr: Includes the attributes related to your map, such as fishing spots and walkable areas.
   • Town.txt: Specifies the respawn coordinates for your map.

   Here’s a glimpse of how my folder looks:

   

3. Edit the Index File:
   Next, locate and modify the index file found in metin2/share/locale/country/map. Each line in this file corresponds to a map and is formatted as follows:

3. ID_MAP NAME_FOLDER_MAP
       

   In my situation, I added the folder named metin2_map_nae (which contains the aforementioned files). Your entry should resemble this:

   

   Important! Make sure the ID for your map is unique. It's advisable to use an ID greater than 250 to prevent conflicts.

4. Set Map Launch Options:
   You’ll need to command your server to load the map on startup. There are two options:

   • Launch the map in a regular channel (e.g., CH1, CH2, etc.), making it unique to each channel.
   • Launch the map in channel 99, meaning it will be available in a single channel. This allows for a shared map experience for all players.

   Note: Channel 99 is often utilized for dungeon maps or when a map needs to be exclusive.

5. Update Channel CONFIG Files:
   Regardless of the launch option you choose, you will need to input your map's ID into the CONFIG file of the respective channels:

   • For regular channels, insert the map ID into one of the core directories, such as channel1/core2/CONFIG.
   • For channel 99, add it only to the CONFIG file located in channel 99.

   Your configuration should look something like this:

   

   Great job! Now restart your Metin2 server, and your map should be correctly set up on the server side.

II. Client-Side Configuration

1. Locate Client Files for Your Map:
   Usually, you will have your map packed in eix/epk formats. For instance, I have them as metin2_map_nae.eix and metin2_map_nae.epk.

   Tip: If you don’t receive the eix/epk files, you’ll need to repack the map using EterNexus or a similar tool.

   Place the eix/epk files into your client’s pack folder.

2. Unpack and Edit atlasinfo.txt:
   Unpack the root file to access the atlasinfo.txt file, where each line follows this format:

• Name_Folder_Of_Your_Map    COORDINATE_X    COORDINATE_Y    WIDTH_MAP    LENGTH_MAP
      

  Note: You can find these details in your map’s Setting.txt file.

• Add Entry to atlasinfo:
  In my case, I included the following line in my atlasinfo file:

• metin2_map_nae 2600000 2600000 3 4
      

  

  Warning! If you can’t find your atlasinfo, double-check step 2 but make sure to look in the atlasinfo.txt located in your client’s local pack (locale/XX/atlasinfo.txt).

• Repack and Test:
  After making the necessary changes, repack your files and log into the game to test it. To teleport to your new map, use the command /warp followed by the two numbers from the BasePosition of your map (remember to remove the last two digits).

  For example, if my BasePosition is 2600000 2600000, I would type:

4. /warp 26000 26000
       

   Tip: Refer to your map's Setting.txt to obtain the BasePosition.

Congratulations! Your map should now be successfully installed on the client side.
