Forum :: EOSERV :: Accessing the name of a map

I've not yet actively looked into this and was wondering if anyone had already worked out how to pull the name of a map (As in, the one displayed with $info and set with the mapper) for use/display. It seems like it would be very useful in a well-named list of maps.

PS: $info just sends the mapid to the client, it doesn't send the name, but the client presumably reads the map name from the file after reading the map id.

The info command is cool, but it also has them elemental values which I don't think ever got used? If I was you I'd just remove the official info packet and just load the character book, If I remember correct you can basically list a large amount there and it also shows the standard info like character name, home,title etc which is an added bonus.

You could even add new stuff like map name, mining/fishing levels and other custom features from Kyles server.

I was just using $info as an example for the place where you can find the map names, all I'm looking to do is display the name of the map in the same fashion that the $info command does. In other words, how can I have the server access the map name in the same way that the client does when it reads in that packet from $info?

Tire me.

He means he wants to be able to grab the map name via command ect.

Ex- Typing:  #Map   will report the map name!

But if Cirras is asking for a master list by typing in something like #Map I've seen it done before, but can't remember where.

Sorry I wish I could help you, you'll probably have to wait for Sausage or Apollo. D; Every time I see questions like these it makes me want to get back into programming, and get a better understanding, especially with eo/eoserv. D;

It's stored in the 24 bytes immediately after the four-byte map revision number. These are the functions EOMap uses to encode/decode it; the unused bytes are padded with 0xFF on the right and the input/output is always 24 bytes long in the case of the map name:

My sincerest gratitude.

This is the #npc information box from BU, just one of the things I'm going to be using this for. Nifty to be able to pull names like that. Time to label all the maps.
