Minimap Setup

Elderan Map Setup Guide

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for Elderan players to set up their minimap files using either the provided scripts or doing it manually if you prefer not to use installation scripts. Both Windows and MacOS users can follow these steps.

Automatic setup

Prerequisites

• Close the game client - it's not enough to just log off your character but you have to completely terminate the process either by clicking "x" in top-right corner or by killing process from task manager
• Download the ZIP Package from here

ZIP package contains the following files:
windows-minimap-install.bat (Windows script)
macos-minimap-install.sh (MacOS script)
minimap.otmm (Minimap file)

• Unzip the Package:

Extract the contents of the ZIP package to a folder of your choice (e.g., C:\ElderanTools on Windows or ~/ElderanTools on MacOS).

Enter your character's name exactly as it appears in the game.

The script will:
 Navigate to the minimap folder.
 Copy and rename the new minimap file to match your character's name.

A success message will confirm the process is complete.

Instructions for MacOS Users

• Make the Script Executable:

Open the Terminal.
Navigate to the folder where you extracted the ZIP package (e.g., cd ~/ElderanTools).
Run the command:
 chmod +x macos-minimap-install.sh

Execute the script by typing:
./macos-minimap-install.sh

• Provide Your Character's Name:

Troubleshooting

• Script Errors:

Ensure the scripts and minimap.otmm are in the same directory.
Verify the target directories (AppData on Windows or Library/Application Support on MacOS) exist.

• Permission Issues:

On Windows: Run the script as an administrator by right-clicking windows-minimap-install.bat and selecting "Run as Administrator."
On MacOS: Use sudo to run the script if necessary (e.g., sudo ./macos-minimap-install.sh).

• Minimap File Not Found:

Ensure minimap.otmm is present in the folder where the script is executed.

• You still have old map:

Ensure you correctly close your game client before you execute minimap installation scripts.

Manual Setup

• Close all game clients
• Navigate to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Elderan\otclientv8 (Windows) or /Library/Application Support/Elderan/otclientv8 (MacOS)
• Copy & paste downloaded minimap file (minimap.otmm) and rename the file to your character name (replace spaces in your name with _). Example: John_Doe.otmm

---

Notes

• Always exit the game completely (do not just log out) before running the script.
• The new minimap file will use underscores (_) instead of spaces in your character's name.
