Benvolio Report post Posted September 14, 2005 Copy and paste your chat_log.txt and any other custom maps you may have in your folder to your desktop. Then delete your old EL folder. Then run the installer and install it at …/program files/eternal lands if your using windows. Then put the files on your desktop back in their appropriate location in the folder.

Lots of maps have changed and many bug reports we are getting is because people are using custom maps that are wrong!  Also, using custom 3D maps is not supported and techincally is a breach of the license and could be considered illegal. We do not support custom maps and if you have problems and are using custom maps or clients, test with the official client before filing any bug reports.

scafativ Report post Posted September 14, 2005 DO NOT KEEP YOUR CUSTOM MAPS!!! Lots of maps have changed and many bug reports we are getting is because people are using custom maps that are wrong!  I am unclear what is meant by "custom map". Are you talking about .bmp files that ppl have created of things like the inside of caves? If not, can they still be used?  Are you talking about the custom waypoints lists, which I believe are .elm.txt files? If not, can these be copied over to the root directory and used?  If neither of these, then what?  Another way of asking this is: Are there any resouces that are preservable from the old client other than the chat log?  Thanks  scafativ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyWolf Report post Posted September 14, 2005 Yea, I can understand why the old main maps couldn't be used anymore, but what about those for hell, or cc, or any of the cave maps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most maps have new features and things, so keeping and using such maps might be problematic.  We strongly advice you to use the maps that comes with the official client.     Maps for UW, CC and such are to be used at your own risk Edited September 14, 2005 by Derin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

70347 Report post Posted September 14, 2005 Much confusion has been caused by people using the phrase custom maps. When people say that you should save your custom maps they mean the .bmp files (tab maps). They will not be 100% accurate but they can still be used. What learner is talking about is the .elm files in the maps directory. If you overwrite new .elm files with the old ones you will cause problems like not being able to leave IP or harvest. The .elm.txt files can be copied over to the new directory without messing anything up. They contain the map marks (green Xs and writing on the tab maps). Hope this clears things up for people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
