Adding a map (*.ult) to the WORLD MAP

 

 

STEP 1

Now all this work would be pretty worthless if it cannot be applied to the world.map and linked to the actual game. So first we must copy the 2 files we just created into /u4_maps/

Next we must create a TOWN icon in WORLD.MAP by using the world_editor.exe. At position 107,91 add a town icon there. See the picture below. See STEP 2 below that.

STEP 2

Using Notepad, open up /u4_maps/links.ini

U4 links from WORLD.MAP to DUNGEONS,CASTLES,TOWNS,VILLAGES, etc...
