[Workshop] How to change the starting point at the very beginning of the game

[Marro]

Hello guys , I'll be writing a series of guides about Allods modifications
we will work together in this Workshop series to modify the game and make it more playable in every time .
So let's get started !

The starting game tutorial always bored the hell out of me , especially when I'm trying a new server , why would I spend 30 min of my time and eventually find out that this server actually SUCKS
Believe me mate you don't want this in your future server , save your players time .

There's a file that determine the starting point in each faction :​

• League : \ Server \ game \ data \ Packs \ XDB_Mechanics.Server.pak \ Mechanics \ CharactersTemplate \ LeagueCharacterOrdinary.xdb ​
• Empire : \ Server \ game \ data \ Packs \ XDB_Mechanics.Server.pak \ Mechanics \ CharactersTemplate \ EmpireCharacterOrdinary.xdb​

The two files are actually quite similar , you would find something like this :​

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<gameMechanics.world.avatar.CharacterType>
    <Header>
        <resourceId>268444712</resourceId>
    </Header>
    <faction href="/World/Factions/x.xdb#xpointer(/gameMechanics.world.creature.Faction)" />
    <position>
        <pointer>
            <map href="x" />
            <scriptID>x</scriptID>
        </pointer>
        <yaw type="constructor.basicElements.AngleRadians">
            <value>1.16</value>
        </yaw>
    </position>
</gameMechanics.world.avatar.CharacterType>

We need to work on that to make the character spawn at the exact place we want
and YES as you guessed this <map href=".." / > determines the map .

Now we know that for this mission we need to change two XML tags :​

• <map href="" /> is to select the map we need​
• <scriptID> </scriptID> is to select the place we want to be spawned at . but for some reason this place should be a portal only , so we need to determine which one in that map we already chose​

BUT , the hard and important part is to determine the Portal , and we need to write the specific exact same name that already implanted inside the server .
there are two ways to find our portal :
- Using Gm Codes
- Looking inside the map xdb file
( I'll go through it later )​

But if you tried this for League :​

<map href="/Maps/Kania/MapResource.xdb#xpointer(/mapLoader.MapResource)" />
            <scriptID>Portal_League1_Capital</scriptID>

Or this for empire ​

<map href="/Maps/Hadagan/tower_MapResource.xdb#xpointer(/mapLoader.MapResource)" />
            <scriptID>TeleportMasterE1_01</scriptID>

You would be Spawned at The two main capitals ( Novogard & Yasker Tower )​

I will continue writing it later to add more info
This was inspired by eternal call

Thanks ..
