Shards of Dalaya (Everquest EMU Server)

[joejoe25]

I wanted to know if the maps for Shards of Dalaya are around somewhere. I have seen many dead links. Furthermore, the offsets that I have for SoD do not show ground spawns. Does anyone have this information? Thank you for your help.

Does it actually use different maps? I would have thought you could just download map packs from http://www.mapfiend.net/ for the base game & whatever expansions it includes.

As for the ground spawns, which version are you using? The latest 1.27.3 won't show the ground spawns on the emulated servers. It was released about 1 1/2 years ago to address changes to how ground spawns were handled on the live servers http://www.showeq.net/forums/showthr....27.3-Released
If you are using that version, go back to 1.27.2 (Only the server will show as version 1.27.3 since the client is the same in both versions)

It uses the same base maps, but they changed the zone names, the spawn names, zones and descriptions on the maps.

So when myseq looks for the zone name, it will have the short name they are using. So just match up the short names on the map for the correct zone, and rename your map files.

The ones that d/l with the SoD patcher work pretty good, as they have much of the text on the map updated like you want for SoD. If you find a map that does not load, rename your myseq map, to the name they are trying to load. Comparison of zone names in the eqstr_us.txt should lead you to the map you are looking for if you don't know just by recognition. It is just an exercise in renaming the maps.

Nothing overly complicated. I don't have a copy of all the ones I renamed, anymore. Sorry. That was about 2 hard drives, one OS upgrade, and 3 rebuilds ago on that PC.

Shards of Dalaya Zone/Map page if it helps http://wiki.shardsofdalaya.com/index.php/Zones
I don't see a link to download a map pack though, but it does show the live name, & SoD short name in a chart.

The way they changed the zone names, the eq client will load the zone map based on the original map name. The place where myseq offsets point to the zone name, will contain the new short zone name.
