Assuming you have a server called "Playtime"

 

* The servers table in wurmlogin.db has a column mapname. Change the mapname to "Playtime"

* Create mods/serverpacks/playtime.jar on the server with the files

maps/Playtime.png

mappings.txt

 

* And mappings.txt

map.playtime = maps/Playtime.png

 

* Add playtime.jar to the serverPacks property in mods/serverpacks.properties

* restart server

 

When a client connects to the server it will receive the changed mapname and the packs file.

It will then display the custom map as server map.

 

The map should be of size 920x620. Other sizes should work too but the image might be scaled.

is it added as classpath=playtime.jar?

 

EDIT: I think I answered it myself. serverPack=playtime.jar

 

Which you said but I read wrong. haha

:-) Yes, it has the "s" in the properties file, just not in the forum post. And I have made the ugliest ingame map the world has ever seen! If you can find out where you are using it, you are truly blessed. The Freedom map might have gotten you closer. haha

I've setup a test server (ago modloader testserver) with a custom map (the creative map mapdump), the hitchingpost and the basic creatures from the creaturedemo.

 

on the server it has in mods/serverpacks.properties

classname=org.gotti.wurmunlimited.mods.serverpacks.ServerPackMod
classpath=serverpacks.jar
serverPacks=creative.jar
#Set a fixed port. If no port is selected a random free port will be used
serverPort=8787

The jar archive mods/serverpacks/creative.jar contains those files

Archive:  mods/serverpacks/creative.jar
  Length      Date    Time    Name
---------  ---------- -----   ----
   468674  12-08-2015 12:16   maps/creative.png
        0  12-08-2015 12:18   maps/
       34  12-08-2015 12:18   mappings.txt
---------                     -------
   468708                     3 files

mappings.txt contains just one line

map.testserver=maps/creative.png

The map name "Testserver" was set in the servers table in wumlogin.db database

update servers set mapname = 'Testserver'

 

The client needs the serverpacks mod to download the packs and the custommaps mod to actually use the custom mapname instead of the default cluster map.

There are no configuration options on the client besides enabling those mods.

I had noticed everything has to be lowercase.

Are you using a Java JDK and the jar command? (just making sure :))

 

jar cf myjar.jar file1 file2 ... file1/2/3 so on can be directories and it will recurse the files inside into the jar.

I just used 7 zip and dragged all the files in the directory into the file and changed it to a .jar file.    Works fine.

Huh. It said mine was invalid or something. Then again, my 7zip might be a century old. LOL

The jar file is basicly just a zip file. 7zip may use it's own 7z format as default but can create zip as well.

the best pay to do this is take another .jar file and copy it..     Open it in 7zip  and delete all the contents.   Drag your files, and directory in there.     Save.

 

Done.

I have one big question about this client modloader and I can't seem to find anything in the post that answers it. If changes are loaded to the client, what happens if you then want to connect to a different server or play solo and don't have or use those mods? Will it still work with a vanilla server, or do I have to make a completely new copy of the client for each different or vanilla server?

Its all based on hash.   If the new server doesnt use the loader..  Nothing happens..

If they used the loader and the hash is different for that server you'll get a new pack.

If the hash matches it will use the one you already have.

 

Ive tested this with a few servers that have ago's modloader running.   Not once did it break my client.

Appreciate the quick response Razor - was actually thinking of trying out your server, but wanted to make sure it wouldn't mess up the vanilla game I have going with a friend on my own server and that I could switch back and forth between the two.
