Thurgadin Grand Hall Prestige Home
 

Good day to you all..

I've been working on the Thurgadin Prestige home (tour), and trying to get a map working..

Question is I recently re-installed windows on my machine, and lost some files, and Can't remember what I was using to edit or stitch or piece together the dds files of the working maps.

I have though got this far with the map somewhat. by getting the zonerects for the prestige home and the thurgadin city map. and got the code as follows:

[code]
<ImageStyle Name="thurgadin_prestige_home" displayname="Thurgadin Grand Hall" zonerect="0.00,0.00,1.00,600.00">
<ImageFrame Source="images/maps/map_exp_07_thurgadin_velious.dds" SourceRect="-1,105.00,-103.00,257.00,919.00" />
</ImageStyle>
/CODE]

and for the map of the map_exp_07_thurgadin_velious, I circled in green what areas I believe would be the pretige home.



Like I said, I can't remember what program I used to edit/stitch/piece together the map pieces. Like I did with the Sands of Renewal Home, and Drunder Guildhall.

and lastly; I did something with the map I was working on, and now when I login, to the thurgadin prestige home tour, eq2maps has a transparent look to it, all I see is the outlined



Please help.... stuck like a log currently. What program can i use to edit the dds file or convert it to PNG or JPEG to edit, then convert back.?????

Thanks in advance.

You can use GIMP to edit the image.

Looks like you have swaped the zonerect and sourcerect values.

ok, doubled checked the zonerects and seems to be correct.

Still not seeing the map, same as the picture in post above.

Here's the map that I believe will work if I can get it to just show up. (adding the acutal .dds file too.

what am I doing wrong??? *facepalm*

Also; is there another program besides Gimp. Just hate that interface. and I swear that I was using another program.

You DID have your values swaped, a SourceRect can never have a negative number.

You did refer to a map that don´t exist, "images/maps/map_exp_07_thurgadin_velious.dds" is a hardcoded map and don´t exist on your computer unless you created it by your self.

I have corrected the code if you have the new image in the image folder, and has the resolution 1600,1200 , or you can just change the code.

First of all; Thank you for all your help.

Ok, I updated the code you corrected and also added the dds map that I created from piecing together from the map_exp_07_thurgdadin_velious.dds.

the map_thurgadin_prestige_home.dds
and map_exp_07_thurgadin_velious.dds

are both under my \games\everquest2\ui\darqui\images\maps folder.

I'm still though getting that clear map picture posted earlier.

I haven't installed the map creator files again yet, after my re-install of windows. so I was hoping this shortcut would be enough, but looks like i might have to create the map again. from scratch????

What result do you get from this command in that zone?
/map2_show_zone_rect
