[Ascent] Vmaps

[Breakdawn]

Hello MMowned

I was surfing on the net for guides How to fix my line of sight bug where mobs run through walls. and heard its cus my vmaps isnt working...

I found out i wasnt even using vmaps ? cus i cant find any vmaps at all on my entire computer, so i was wondering where i could download vmaps to fix this bug.. cus a bug like that ruins the server so bad

you should be able to see how to add them and download them herehttp://www.arcemu.info/wiki/index.php?title=Collision

If you compiled your own core (Advised), then you would have seen in the extras folder something mentioning vmaps, its a extractor you run in your WoW directory, that prevents monsters running/falling through things.

Ok go to Navicat, and then go to your World DB, and go to worldmap_info, and then go to viewingdistance and type it in to like 800- 1700 or whatever you want.

All i need is to fix LoS so monsters wont aggro through walls or mountains.. a blizzlike server with that bug should get owned instantly :P

So if you got a tip how to fix LoS bug so you can use LoS against mages bosses etc then plz tell me i really want to fix line of sight bug

As previously stated you need to extract vmaps and normal maps. Once you have them both in your server folder you can enable collision in your world config. This will enable Line of Sight among other things such as certain spells being fixed (e.g. Blink).

What RyeRye said will allow you to see objects from fruther away, not fix the LoS problem.

[RyeRye]

Oh, sorry thought he said he already did vmaps .
Do what stone said then.

If you have trouble compiling (Like me ;< Curse you C++ 2008 Sucking!) You can download the vmaps here,

I too, am trying to get this collision thing working. I've searched my entire comp for "vmaps" and my comp comes up blank.

I'm running 3.0.8 on windows xp. Where can I get the correct vmap extractor and assembler.

Ah, you need a Vmaps extractor for 3.0.8.

I apologize.

[Torpid]

I think I may have found the correct extractor and assembler for 3.0.8 but I'm not sure if it is working correctly.

post number 3 [Request] 3.0.8 ArcEMU compile - RaGEZONE - MMORPG server development forums

I ran the extractor and now I have a bunch of .wmo files in the folder "buildings". I attempted to run the assembler but the command prompt just blips on the screen and disappears. I would assume that the .wmo files or buildings folder are not in the correct directory.

[Kiev]

If it makes .wmo's, then that isn't the right one. You can look back at the revisions with ArcEmu and hope to hit 3.0.8, this will include the map extractor, also, the ad.exe should work on any WoW version, aslong as your WoW is 3.0.8 it will get them maps.
