EQ Map Files

[WildcardX]

Anyone know how to display a map file of an EQ zone? I am writting an editor and I want to load a EQ map and display it, but I can't seem to locate any information on the file format it's self.

I highly suggest taking a look at Map.cpp (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/eqemulator/EQEmuCVS/Source/zone/Map.cpp?rev=1.11.2.2).

Map.cpp describes a 3-D object. I want to display a zone map as a 2-D graphic image. Is it correct the .map file contains coordinates that describe the zone wall and I can read and plot those coordinates but just ignore the Z-axis to get a 2-D image?

EDIT: Nevermind, I get it.. Thanks for the reference!

its going to be a really hard task to get a zone view from the 3d maps, expecially without textures (which are lost in .map files, but are in .s3d)

heres code that hasnt gone into cvs yet

this is a temp link cause the forums security dosent like the code directly.
