Location and Name of Cities

[Aetherius Shadowblade]

I know this will not be easy, but where do I change the name and boundaries of all of the cities?

And while we are at it, but what about the dungeons too?

 

[arvoreen]

I believe that would be Data/Regions.xml

Note that you won't be able to change the names of the towns as they appear on the map at the character creation screen, as those are in the client.

anyway to bypass that? give them a custom starting point that we choose, not them.

Without modifying the client, I do not believe so. I think even if you make a custom starting spot, players will still get the option to "choose" their starting location. Whether that matters or affects starting location depends on the server scripts.

ok, thanks

Not 100% accurate. You can make some minor edits.

Check out Scripts/ Accounting = AccountHandler.cs

private static readonly CityInfo[] StartingCities = new CityInfo[]
        {
            new CityInfo("New Haven",    "New Haven Bank",    1150168, 3503,    2574,    14),
            new CityInfo("Yew", "The Empath Abbey",    1075072, 633,    858,    0),
            new CityInfo("Minoc", "The Barnacle", 1075073, 2476,    413,    15),
            new CityInfo("Britain",    "The Wayfarer's Inn",    1075074, 1602,    1591,    20),
            new CityInfo("Moonglow",    "The Scholars Inn",    1075075, 4408,    1168,    0),
            new CityInfo("Trinsic",    "The Traveler's Inn",    1075076, 1845,    2745,    0),
            new CityInfo("Jhelom", "The Mercenary Inn",    1075078, 1374,    3826,    0),
            new CityInfo("Skara Brae",    "The Falconer's Inn",    1075079, 618,    2234,    0),
            new CityInfo("Vesper", "The Ironwood Inn",    1075080, 2771,    976,    0),
            new CityInfo("Royal City", "Royal City Inn", 1150169, 738, 3486, -19, Map.TerMur)
        };

This is what makes these cities show up on the starting menu. If you comment out a city here it will remove it form the character creation map.

You can also add in other Clilocs to change names.

If you're changing city names/locations, remember to make the same changes to your stuck menu!

 

[Aetherius Shadowblade]

stuck menu?

 

[Anon the Felon]

stuckmenu.cs

It's the help menu you get when you use: help>"I'm stuck..."

You can also remove options here, so people can't use it to get to a blank area of your map, or the wrong map entirely. There's also a young player section of the help menu you might need to change, since they have a way to teleport back to haven.
