I'm currently trying to use a customized map as mapid=1, but I've incurred in several problems.

What I'm doing is the follow:

uoconvert map realm=hope mapid=1 usedif=0 width=6143 height=4095
uoconvert statics realm=hope
uoconvert maptile realm=hope

I first tried by using britannia_alt as realm identificator, then switched to see if was some kind of problem related to that
Whenever I go to the new realm tough, the client still reads the map0.mul component, and I can't walk on the realm.
I read about an old bug that should have been fixed, but tried anyway to see if it was still present on my core for some mistake, so I removed all the "real" mapid=0 files and renamed the mapid=1 files to 0 (wich means map1.mul > map0.mul and the same for staidx and statics)

After the UO-convert I logged again on the server, without fixing the maps..
All 3 realms were showing the customized map that I am supposed to use (britannia, britannia_alt and hope), but in none of them was possible to walk
I then renamed again the maps to their default name, and when I logged back I was seeing the mapid=0 map in all 3 of the realms.


I'm sure I'm doing something wrong somewhere, but can't find out what.
I also tried to remove any kind of diff files from my client, but still getting the same problem.

Hi
First of all, I seem to recall that map0 and map1 are rendered by the client as the same map, so if you want to use a custom map alongside with Sosaria default, you have to put it in map2. If anyone could confirm this, it would be great. At the moment, I can't find a reference about maps.

For the fact that you can't walk, have you tried also in different position respect to where you log in? Maybe it's a problem in the tiles you log in over, they aren't staticized or some other problem.

Let us know

We are currently using both map0, map2 and map3, so our only option is to use map1

as for the mobility of course I tried different position, it could be that for some reason the map (wich is still in building state) is somewhat corrupted.
From what I can see the problem lies in the client

By using the clients <6 I can't see the map without the diffs, as in earlier clients Trammel was only being handled by diff files, while with clients >=6 I can see the correct map or so it seems... Still unclear if the walking problem lies in there or not

What I need to know is if there's any way to handle the map for both clients <6 and >=6, as we're allowing players to freely use what they prefer, otherwise I'll need to force them on having clients >6 versions...
