This is a video of BrowEdit Tutorial on how to Add custom map into your server.

I hope that will really make you understand now..

Back from eAthena, brianL posted this..

1. Server edits:

• .../conf/maps_athena.conf - Add a line for each new map
  CODE
  map: maintown
  
• .../db/map_index.txt - Add a line at the bottom for each new map (only the first custom map needs a starting ID)
  CODE
  maintown<TAB>1250
  

2. Recompile your server's mapcache. I suggest using this pre-compiled Mapcache Maker.

• TIP: if you download map_cache.dat from the SVN and put it in the folder with mapcache.exe, then it will run in rebuild mode (only add your maps)
  
• Edit grf-files.txt to the location of your data.grf/sdata.grf
  
• Make a temporary data folder somewhere (ex: on your Desktop) and put the 3 map files (.rsw, .gat, .gnd) in it.
  
• Now edit the Data Directory location in grf-files.txt to the location of the data folder you just made with the map files in it.
  
• Copy the map_index.txt from your server folder into the Mapcache Maker's folder.
  
• Run mapcache.exe and it will create a new mapcache (called map_cache.dat)
  

3. Move/upload map_cache.dat to your server's .../trunk/db/ folder.

Start your server. If you receive a message "[Notice]: Removing map [ ______ ] from maplist", go back and check your work.

4. Client update: make a patch with the 3 map files.

after you follow the 1st part you can use WeeMapCache more easier just open your map_cache then add file done .
