Another small update, but no less time-consuming. I got my hands on the GRF file with the information from the beta, and I was able to harvest the last removed map, etc_cave01. This map did not initially load properly as its textures are looking at some nonexistent location, but hex editing the GND file easily allowed these to be replaced. It seems to use the same textures as Dungeon001, so I've added it to the game as another floor to that dungeon. There's a few new enemies here, like Papare and that Black Bat enemy. I found a new item I wanted the black bat to drop, the Black Devil Mask. It's a neat-looking mask that covers one eye. However, there's a big problem with it! If you turn in certain directions, the eye that it covers changes! This looks super stupid and I wasn't willing to put it in the game like that. So, because I'm way too picky about stuff like this, I decided to see if I could fix the sprite myself. There's a pretty good tool that can be used to do this called Act Editor which I used a little bit before for editing enemy sprites. A naive person (ie, me before I did this) would probably think that because the character can be displayed from 8 directions, this will only require 2 new sprites (only 2 directions are messed up). Oh no. The game manually specifies the position of the headgear for every possible animation frame the character can have. I'm sure there's probably some automatic way to update this but I didn't find it, I just did them all manually by calculating how much the sprite moved each frame. There are also different sprites for male and female characters since they have different animations. This took a while. Since I was already spending my whole evening on this, I decided to see if I could fix the Kitty Band as well, which has a strange issue where the inside of the ear always faces outward regardless of which direction you face, causing people on my server to joke about it being the worst headgear in the game. This was comparatively much easier because I didn't have to reposition anything, I just had to add some new sprites and then swap out the sprite index in the animations. Interestingly, the male act file for the Kitty band already specifies a back sprite, it's just identical to the front sprite, but the female act file does not. Did two different people work on these? At any rate, here's what they look like once they're fixed. Should you want these sprite edits for your own server, I've attached a GRF file that contains the updates. You'll probably just want to merge this into one of your grf files, since it's very small. headgearfix.grf

Hey there everyone, long time no see! So it's been a very long time since I have been on these boards and I do miss it all. Feeling a little nostalgia looking through these all, I decided to release them all to the public, completely free. Going in no particular order after the first few, they are just my favorites. I hope you guys love them as I have. Sanctum Main town oriented map. My absolute favorite and latest work (When I was mapping). The idea I had for this was a chuck of a mountain broke off and landed here, subsequently creating a waterfall from atop and surrounding the town. Giving it protection and a perfect center for life. I never got around to finishing the outside of the map, I don't even know what I thought for the surroundings, perhaps just trees. Sanctum In And here is the inside map for Sanctum. The first picture is the general area where various NPC's can be placed. The second picture is where I planned to use an script to automatically place anyone who wished to vend in the one walkable/edited Gat. It would cycle through and remove those vending for a prolonged period of time and also anyone not vending at all. Guild Base This map was designed for the top guilds or just those who hold castles to have a domain of their own. The first picture is just a hangout spot for anyone in the guild. The second picture is for any combat/training/monster summoning to be done. The third picture is for the guild master where special NPC's can be placed as the server owners desire. Novice Starter Grounds PvP Valkyrie A little small for a PvP map but I enjoyed making it and like how it turned out. Trinity The first main town I made some time back around 2010. Don't judge me on some of the rookie mistakes I made with lighting and such haha. The following Trinity ___ maps are connected via a warp on the edges of the map. Trinity In Trinity Courtyard Before the Sanctum maps, this was my favorite creation. I just liked the feel of this one. Trinity Vending Similar to the Sanctum In vending idea, I wanted to limit vending to only those tiles with the colored objects on it. Trinity Port Anexus A simple instance based map with a boss at the end. Another one of my earlier works. Works The beginnings of my templates map. I would urge any current mapper to use this technique to create unique model compilations and copy it over to the map in progress. I have used this to create a forest that looks completely customized in a matter of minutes. Well there they are, open to any and all. I hope to hear your feedback on these!
