Over deep or shallow sea? Ie static shoreline or deep ocean?
I thought the deep sea would give -5

Yes... but GetMapInfo has only x and y... landtile and z is output value...
Anymore i have the same problem on glass and every map point.
Client used is 4.x patched with uorice.

Currently I have the problem to use fishing far from coats...

So you are having problems with this sort of thing?

Code: Select all

use uo;

program textcmd_maptile(character)
	var the_tile := GetMapInfo(character.x, character.y, character.realm);
	SendSysMessage(character, "Maptile: " + the_tile.landtile);
	SendSysMessage(character, "Map height: " + the_tile.z);
endprogram

This works for me though. It prints out the numbers to the screen that I'd expect.

Yes. exactly. landtile member is 0 and z is also z (while map tile on sea is at z=-5....
What cfg reads to get map tiles? I think it is a problem in uoconvert conversione.
But it seem all ok.

I had same problem not so long time ago. Unfortunately, I do not recall what I exactly did that solved this. Have you tried redoing your realm? Maptile is the one I would suspect, but after all, it's been a while, so can't tell for sure.

Do you have all the necessary files in your /realm/[realm] directory? Are any of the files empty (size of or close to 0kb)? Those including at least:
base.dat
maptile.dat
solids.dat
statics.dat

try opening those in a HEX editor too... One time UOConvert made it all 00's inside which caused problems. Deleted the files, reran UOConvert and it worked fine after that.

No... none to zero and in hex mode no 00
