It's kinda easy to make it. But you need to pay attention or else your Custom Maps will be removed from the server.
Step 1: Go to C:/eAthena Folder/db and open map_index.txt
Step 2: Go to the bottom of the file and type your map and the id Ex: lhz_dun04<TAB><Id num 1-1999> - Example:

Code: Select all

lhz_dun04 1501
Step 3: Save it and go to C:/eAthena Folder/conf and open maps_athena.conf (NOT MAP_ATHENA.CONF!!)
Step 4: Go to the bottom of the file and type "map:<Space>"(without the "" -_- !) and type your map name - Example:

Code: Select all

map: lhz_dun04
Step 5: Go to your eAthena Folder and open mapcache.exe
Step 6: Wait till it closes.
Step 7: Finish... Now Open your map-server.exe and try out if your Custom map will work.
Step 8: open grf-files.txt in your conf folder
Step 9: Remove the // in the grf:(if don't have the // please ignore this step)
Step 10: Add C:\path\to\RO\sdata.grf next to the "grf:"
Step 11: Also add C:\path\to\RO\yourserverdata.grf(note) at the "grf:" that means add another "grf:" under "// You may add more in this format" - Example:

Code: Select all

grf: D:\Program Files\Gravity\kRO\data.grf
grf: D:\Program Files\Gravity\kRO\sdata.grf
grf: D:\Program Files\Gravity\kRO\sdmaps.grf
Step 12: now save it and open map_athena.conf
Step 13: find "use_grf:" and remove the // before it. And change the no to yes

Code: Select all

// Read map data from GATs and RSWs in GRF files or a data directory
// as referenced by grf-files.txt rather than from the mapcache?
use_grf: yes
Step 14: Save it and go back to your eAthena folder.
Step 15: Open your map-server.exe and try if it will error or not.
Please comment on this guide :)




Examples of file:
conf\maps_athena.conf:

Code: Select all

map: lhz_dun04
conf\grf-files.txt:

Code: Select all

grf: C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO\voodooro.grf
// You may add more in this format
grf: C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO\sdata.grf
grf: C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO\maps.grf
db\map_index.txt:

If you have quit the game you shouldn't even reply to a support thread.
And in-case you didnt know, this thread is for server owners, not players.
