ffxidb assault maps

Hiya,

Was doing some assaults for mythic today and realised that it was showing me the wrong map (See attached)

This was Extermination - Ilrusi, I remember doing the ini for apradar how annoying zones like assaults / nyzul were to do, but then I was doing manually . So not sure how much time you would like to spend on something like this. I will be in and out of Assaults alot soon so if anything I can do just ask.

Thanks

Are you using custom maps for FFXIDB?

Nah I didn't know you could set custom. Ive just checked the Maps folder in the plugins folder and it's empty

Hm ok, that's strange then. I'll try to examine it myself.

No problem. thanks ! If anything I can do to help while plodding through assaults just let me know.

Is that the only assault you noticed an error with?

I noticed it in Lamia #13 and Golden Salvage aswell. Both Ilrusi, but that was the book I was working on at the time, not sure about other zones. I can swap a book and try one when I get out of work later if it would help. 

Thinking about it. i'm 90% sure Mamool area was OK as i've completed that book, I am sure I would have obviously noticed even with my memory that it was out.

I would appreciate if you can make screenshots like the above for any maps you notice are wrong.

Just did Seagull Grounded in Periqia and the map tied up perfectly

It's just a matter of finding the right map, the position within a map is always accurate (as accurate as the official maps anyway).

Ah!, well that makes it easier, I used to hate manually lining up the maps in apradar, how do you reference the maps? the one in the screenshot above  is ROM4\3\92.dat. If I find any others as I do assaults i'll post SS as requested.

Yeah, manually adjusting offsets was awful, thankfully we use the game's own function now to determine the map position, so that's no longer an issue. You were drawn at the right coordinates, only on the wrong map. You can even see in the image you posted above that you're in the same position within a grid as you are on the real map.

We also get the correct map ID, but we manually keep a mapping of map ID > DAT file, so that can still give us some errors. I'll adjust it to the right map and the plugin should be set. Thanks again for helping with this.

yeah the first couple of assaults I was only half-watching the map as it was just a "kill all" type deal so not really looking where i was so didn't notice lol.

Nice that it's automatic now, I read somewhere you had managed to automate the process, i keep up on those posts for funsies [some may not call it so much fun lol]. 

I'll do anything to help, just not sure how much help i can be lol. Just try not to be a nuisance point things out  

Thanks a lot for looking at this.

Sorry to be a pain, wasn't sure if this had been updated yet or not, but did Searat Salvation - Ilrusi tonight, and got these maps

looks like it should be ROM4\3\94.dat if that helps.

Thanks as always!

You're not a pain, you're a help Just keep 'em coming! Thanks for this.

I re-ran the assault above last night and was still the same.

Just read some posts about it being patch weekend (was away so totally missed that) if its just not gotten to yet ignore me other important stuff to be doing =)

Me again ! (thought you got rid of me uh) 

Just did "Desperately Seeking Cephalopods" - Ilrusi zone, This time, No map is displayed atall. (see screenshot, but showing a lack of window ) 

I get this as ROM4\3\95.DAT (Coords your on your own as you have it easy ) I dont know if this id > dat is something I can help with or if it's best to keep posting as i come over them
