Crowdsource Project: Zones and Zonemaps (zone names)

    In order to display the correct Zone Names in Quests on EQ2U, we need the correct zone name-to-zone map translation. We are missing some. Can you help out?

    Let me get you in touch with jnils ... he is the current moderator/admin of the eq2map DB that has most of the entries that you need.

    In the meantime, you should find most zone info in the attached file

    Running the update from that XML file (after many many regexes) decreased the number of unknown zone names from 120 to 70. Here's what's left:

    ANYONE who plays EQ2 can help with this. If you think you might be in one of the unnamed zones or can easily travel there, zone in and then type /map2_show_zone_rect

    That will spit out the internal name. Reply back here with the internal name and the "human friendly" name and we can plug it in!!

    that command does you no good, it only works on zones that have a map, otherwise the return will be:
    Zone rect: 0.00, 0.00, 1,600.00, 1,200.00. (world)

    However there is a command that always works:
    /show_map_style_name 1

    This has to be enabled, once per session, before you zone into the zone you need the mapstyle name of (or easier just include it in the eq2.ini).
    The only issue is that the name returned has an extra _ at the end of it that needs to be removed when added to the list

    From the xml, manually extracted:

    zones/exp05_dun_nuroga = Nu'roga
    zones/exp13_dun_dalnir_02 = Crypt of Dalnir: Ritual Chamber [Heroic]
    zones/exp14_dun_molten_throne = The Molten Throne
    zones/exp13_dun_dalnir_02_solo = Crypt of Dalnir: Ritual Chamber [Solo]
    zones/exp13_dun_cityofmist_raid = Lost City of Torsis: Ashiirian Court [Raid]
    zones/exp14_dun_solusek_tower_03 = Solusek Ro's Tower: Radiance [Event Challenge]
    zones/exp13_dun_sorceress_tower_raid = Arcanna'se Spire: Order and Chaos [Raid]
    zones/exp14_dun_bastion_of_thunder_ts = Torden, Bastion of Thunder: Lightning Strikes [Tradeskills]
    zones/exp14_dun_solusek_tower_01_solo = Solusek Ro's Tower: The Obsidian Core [Solo]
    zones/exp14_dun_solusek_tower_02_solo = Solusek Ro's Tower: Monolith of Fire [Solo]
    zones/exp14_dun_plane_of_disease_02_solo = Plane of Disease: The Source [Solo]
    zones/exp14_dun_solusek_tower_tradeskill = Solusek Ro's Tower: From the Ashes [Tradeskill]
    zones/exp14_dun_plane_of_innovation_03_duo = Plane of Innovation: Parts not Included [Duo]
    zones/exp14_dun_plane_of_innovation_01_solo = Plane of Innovation: Masks of the Marvelous [Solo]
    zones/exp14_dun_plane_of_innovation_02_solo = Plane of Innovation: Gears in the Machine [Solo]
    zones/exp14_dun_bastion_of_thunder_ts_mission = Torden, Bastion of Thunder: Lightning Strikes [Tradeskills]
    zones/exp14_dun_plane_of_innovation_tradeskill = Plane of Innovation: Security Measures [Tradeskill]
    zones/exp14_dun_plane_of_innovation_ts_mission = Plane of Innovation: Security Measures [Tradeskill Mission]
    zones/exp14_dun_plane_of_innovation_tradeskill_02 = Plane of Innovation: Nick of Time [Tradeskill]


    Looks like your Regex fu is lacking :p
    My guess would be that you didn't account for a _0 ir _1 at the end of the Name value (which is used to distinuish the maps of multi-map zones), the Displayname of those zones has also been altered with extra names in () to distinguish the different levels of the zone. I have already removed the extra names from the zones above, they are the real names as displayed in game.

    zones/exp14_dun_bastion_of_thunder_public, this zone can not be accessed as they never got around to finish the PQ.

    So now that leaves 49 left, going to post the revised list with some ideas of where to find them in a little while.

    Thanks for extrapolating what those zone names should be. I did not want to make assumptions on what was not in the XML file. I've updated those 19 zones.

    Ultimately, zone name is cosmetic so I am not worried about Preludes and such.

    Ok here goes the other 49 in 4 different categories of differing knowledge of mine, but none of these are confirmed so we definitley need other players to confirm or find more information about these:

    Wow thank you for that information. What do you think I should do as far as updating EQ2U?

    Is "most likely" enough to push the change? If it is somehow wrong, it will not break the site, only display a different zone name when viewing a quest than would otherwise be expected.

    I know of no way to verify this data short of someone having /show_map_style_name 1 enabled and zoning into these zones. And I realize several of them are quest-specific and only used once.

    The top most category (=Zones with good candidates that need to be tested:) is proberbly safe enough yeah, if I should find changes as I gather info for EQ2MAP I'll let you know here. Might want to strikethrough the ones you have updated in my post. I'll keep editing it for any new info I come across as well.

    And yeah thats the only real way to verify it.

    Bet that is this one: https://eq2.fandom.com/wiki/Kaedrin_Ironforge's_Trial

    The thought of having to go through the Q City Timeline again to test it, though, makes me cry.

    kk I updated the list accordingly, when we get verfication on The Chamber of the Claymore I'll add it to the top category and when Feldon adds Crow's he'll strike it through.

    @Pijotre and @Carynn I cannot thank you enough for going through and getting these.

    I found that with a zone path, I can reverse lookup quests that have it and sometimes find the exact zone name if someone put it into Wikia.
    For instance, "exp13_dun_kaesora_02_epic01" is part of the quest "Find Your Way Home".

    census.daybreakgames.com/s:eq2wire/xml/get/eq2/quest/?stage_list.branch_list.completion_zone=*exp11_dun_rumcellar_island*&c:limit=10

    I could not have gotten the vast majority of these without your help though.
