Moongates

moongates.toml lists the public moongates: the gates between the cities of every map. .decorate places a gate on each destination, and a player who walks onto one, or double clicks it from the next cell, picks where to go from a gump with one page per map.

[[facet]]
map = "malas"
cliloc = 1060643
selected_cliloc = 1062039

[[facet.destination]]
name = "Luna"
cliloc = 1060641
location = "(1015, 527, -65)"

[[facet.destination]]
name = "Umbra"
cliloc = 1060642
location = "(1997, 1386, -85)"
hue = 0x0497

Field	Meaning
[[facet]]	One per map; the order is the order of the tabs in the gump.
map	felucca, trammel, ilshenar, malas, tokuno or termur.
cliloc	The client text of the map’s name in the gump.
selected_cliloc	The same name as the gump shows it for the open page.
[[facet.destination]]	The cities of the map, in the order the gump lists them.
name	The city, for the logs; players see the client text.
cliloc	The client text of the city’s name.
location	Where the gate stands and travellers arrive, a Point3D.
hue	The hue of the gate; none when left out.
average_z	true takes the height from the map instead of the z of location, for a spot whose height differs between client versions, such as Magincia.

The shipped file holds ModernUO’s 34 destinations: 9 in Trammel, 9 in Felucca, 9 in Ilshenar, 2 in Malas, 3 in Tokuno and 2 in Ter Mur. The names are client texts, so every player reads them in the language of the client.

A map the server does not load is left out, with its gates: its page is not in the gump and .decorate places nothing there. A destination outside its map is left out too, with a warning in the log. An empty file means a shard without public moongates.

Scripts read the list with moongates.facets(); see the moongates module.

Validation at startup

The server stops at startup when:

• the file does not exist;
• a [[facet]] has no map, an unknown one, or one that another [[facet]] has;
• a facet lacks cliloc or selected_cliloc, or has no [[facet.destination]];
• a destination lacks name, cliloc or location, its location has x or y outside 0 to 65535 or z outside -128 to 127, or its hue is outside 0 to 65535.
