Cloning Dungeons

CLONING, HOW TO CLONE A MAP:

Locations of What Needs to be Changed:

-The map folder itself (in /element/maps)
-instance.txt =>inside=> CONFIGS.PCK (contains World ID and above map directory location)
-LITMODELS.PCK
-SURFACES.PCK (Map and mini map)
-LODDATA.PCK (For some maps)
-Directory: \element\maps\
-Server-side: /root/kdxy/gamed/config

" From cloning existing maps, I have noticed something when it comes to naming (without changing any of the actual map files "inside"). I cloned b05 -to- house, well here was the file naming scheme within /element/maps/house:" - The file can be named whatever you want. But some file names CAN NOT be changed. (Specified later).

Directory of E:\PW_Client\element\maps\house (Example is for PWE, but works the same)

"and ofc the map itself I called "house" -- so it's in /element/maps/house ==> instance.txt points to "house" ==> and LITMODELS/house ==> SURFACES.PCK house.dds etc..."

So... I guess what if anything I've learned about using (or "cloning") an existing map is you can name it whatever you want. However the above files (just like in my b05~house example) should NOT have their filenames changed (unless you feel like editing "INSIDE" the files that actually point to those)...

So, the files that CANNOT have a name change from their original names (in /element/maps/mapname) are:

.t2bk
.t2lm
.t2lm1
.t2mk
xxx_light.dat

The ones that HAVE to be changed (to match your new map name)

.cld
.ecbsd
.ecwld
.t2hc
.trn2


Server Side: 

Server side is really simple, just copy the map you're cloning to another directory within ../gamed/config/ with the new name you will be giving the new clone map. This time you won't have to change any file names.

EX, say you're cloning b05 => house, you would make a copy of the directory (and all the files in it):

../gamed/config/b05/ => ../gamed/config/house/

Then, all you have to do is configure your new map/clone in GS.CONF and GSALIAS.CONF.
Duplicate the section from the map you're cloning and change a few settings to make your new map/clone work.
