Would be nice to know since I plan on trying other clients out too in the future.
Purus is compatible with Vanilla map data, all other clients are compatible with Amber's format.
viewtopic.php?f=49&t=40400&start=4530#p842812Given that there are 3 clients activly developed should be 2 ways/formats how maps and markers get stored in cache:
1. loftars
2. romovs and Enders
Now running a short test with a good filled cache from Amber i ran fresh installed Ender ... same char, same place (Windows OS)
... too bad Ender didn't show any Amber stuff ... neither minimap, large map or markers ... it just dropped some new (known ones) into ...
left: original Amber
right: after Ender run (_Ender renamed by me afterwards)
conlusion:
Amber and Ender at least use the same cache path (which is true for loftar aswell - i know from older test with it) and source prove it
looks like 3 different ways/formats ...
interesting sidefact in windows registry Amber uses a folder named haven in java prefs ... while Ender pops an extra folder named hafen into that haven folder ...
(No folders or registry where harmed by the tests thanx to doing backups before
)
after fidlling in client sources for an hour i got bored ...
