So, first of all, it's been awhile. I've been away from the SPHERE community for a good 5 or 6 years and alot has changed in that time with both SPHERE and Ultima Online. I'm going to have aloooooot of questions But just one for now:

My goal is to have dungeons instanced. For each dungeon I'd like players to have the option to enter a public instance or a private instance. I think I remember being able to do this back in 55i by sending a player to one of 256 different MAPPLANES (.GO 5211 1747 0 17) That seems to no longer work. Atleast not the way I was hoping. Apparently MAPPLANES 0-5 correspond to the Map# files in the UO directory and everything above 5 defaults to MAPPLANE 0. So I did some reading on the forums and revisions, didn't find anything helpful, except that MAPPLANE was changed to MAP some time back. But I checked the SphereWiki and saw this under the Sphere.ini section:

MAPx=max_x,max_y,sector_size,real_map_number.

For example: MAP1=7168,4096,512,-1

will change map 1 size to 7168,4096, the sector sizes of map 1 to 512 tiles and the -1 means it'll call the default mul file for that map.

Another example:

MAP50=7168,4096,64,3

Will activate a map number 50 that has 7168,4096 as size, 64 as sector size and loads map3.mul, statics3.mul and staidx3.mul as it's map file

So I tried this in Sphere.ini

Map0=7168,4096,-1,-1
Map1=7168,4096,-1,-1
MAP2=2304,1600,32,2
MAP3=2560,2048,32,3
MAP4=1448,1448,8,4
MAP5=1280,4096,32,5
MAP6=7168,4096,64,0

Still doesn't work. When trying to go to MAP 6 the client crashes with the error Unknown facet 6 Not sure what I'm doing wrong or if it's even possible to acheive what I'm going for with 56b at the moment. Any suggestions?
