Just a curious question:

what's the size of those map files?

gabrielkfl · by gabrielkfl on Mon Feb 16, 2009 10:43 am

ppl, please, which version of JMS is extractable?

350MB total (plus 40MB disk mapping files) if you extracted v0.55

Though there are many 'deletable' sprites.
ex: Haunted House sprites are duplicated (some are normal, some are upside-down, but it's basically the same thing).
And there are Index files, (mostly small files, but some can get to 200KB), which you'll probably not need.
Also, some Tile folders contain images that are purely black tiles.

Why can't you just figure it out by yourself then?

'cause I've downloaded 3 versions and none had any result. The files are over 1GB each, is not something you get in 10 minutes, y'know...

The newest one I think. They are extractable by MapleDump but not python...

Hi, this looks very useful, but with me in china, I can't use mediafire (Government Blocked it =/ ).
Please Can you post some links, even temporary ones, on a different host?
Anything is fine, I just can't download dump.py

Thanks,
Mase

A: Make sure for one that the WZ file you wish to extract is named String.wz. That includes the capital S as well. You might also want to make sure you're using a gMS v0.55 WZ file and not from one that you "accidentally" update.

This happened to me
but I did everything right
.55 file (it has 333,021 bytes just to show it is)
Named String.wz
Using the dump file (in version 3.01 of python )

uhh what is wrong ?

I got this problem for Npc.wZ I think... But not for Map.wZ. Try extracting the other wZ files. And if you want the map files, you can either get them from PerionCorner or ask someone with a hell of a time to upload them for you. MapleDump is also an option...

If the command box just comes up then disappears, right click dump.py, Open with> Python.

I had 2 pythons to click. The first one didn't work. Second one did. Then just press Choose Program, then select the Python that works and tick on Always Use Selected Program to Open These Types of Files or something like that.

kitekasame · by kitekasame on Thu Apr 16, 2009 10:44 pm

i get the black box for a second and the name is String.wz and the dump file is named Dump.py

Multyple · by Multyple on Fri Apr 17, 2009 1:01 am

Did you make sure you renamed Map.wz to String.wz? Remember to capitalize S.

kitekasame · by kitekasame on Fri Apr 17, 2009 2:09 am

of course i did

Same here, I've checked the name "String.wz" and it still don't work for me.

No solutions so far?
