CED Help

Just getting up to speed with this awesome tool and have a couple of questions I would appreciate some help with.

I have CentrED+ 0.79 installed and running perfectly for the Felucca map with the following cedserver.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<CEDConfig Version="6">
<Language>..\Language\English.ini</Language>
<Port>2597</Port>
<Map>
<Map>C:\Maps\CentrED+\PEBinaries\map0.mul</Map>
<StaIdx>C:\Maps\CentrED+\PEBinaries\staidx0.mul</StaIdx>
<Statics>C:\Maps\CentrED+\PEBinaries\statics0.mul</Statics>
<Width>896</Width>
<Height>512</Height>
<Prefix>0</Prefix>
<Format>0x0000000C</Format>
</Map>
<Tiledata>C:\Maps\CentrED+\PEBinaries\tiledata.mul</Tiledata>
<Radarcol>C:\Maps\CentrED+\PEBinaries\radarcol.mul</Radarcol>

<LastPos x="6792" y="2000"/>

</CEDConfig>

I would like to load map4.mul and have attempted to follow various guides to achieve this. I moved the map4/statics4/staidx4 files into the PEBinaries folder and remade the xml with the following changes:

Map/statics/staidx files added a '4' to the name - should I have renamed them to 0?
Map size set at 181/181 - mul is exactly 6,421,352 and the staidx is 393,132
Client is set at 0x000C

I followed this guide to try and get the map4 files loaded - https://www.servuo.com/tutorials/ced-setup.11/

cedserver.xml writes a file but just flashs and shuts down.

The other issue I have is related to the Global Operations command. I want to use it to add statics to a set area with a random distribution. The global command works fine for adding terrain, changing height, and deleting statics etc.

When I select add statics and add my choices to the list, I then lower the probability the the tile is drawn and select to position the static on top (I have tested numerous options). Once applied however, the only tile drawn is the first static in the list I selected and it is applied 100% to every tile in the selected range.

If anyone could help with either query I would be very grateful.

Thanks
 
Darn, I don't use Centered but it was worth a try.
The only other thing I can see is this: <LastPos x="6792" y="2000"/> Those coordinates would be out of bounds for the map size. Maybe change them to 0
 
Update:

I still have not managed to get this working. The xml file I tested was:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<CEDConfig Version="6">
<Language>..\Language\English.ini</Language>
<Port>2597</Port>
<Map>
<Map>C:\Maps\CentrED+\PEBinaries\map4.mul</Map>
<StaIdx>C:\Maps\CentrED+\PEBinaries\staidx4.mul</StaIdx>
<Statics>C:\Maps\CentrED+\PEBinaries\statics4.mul</Statics>
<Width>181</Width>
<Height>181</Height>
<Prefix>0</Prefix>
<Format>0x000000C</Format>
</Map>
<Tiledata>C:\Maps\CentrED+\PEBinaries\tiledata.mul</Tiledata>

I get the following error when trying to load:

I map4.mul (converted back to uop) runs fine for me in fiddler and runuo.
 
Try putting the files you need in the folder where cedserver.exe is. Then change your XML to something like...

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CEDConfig Version="3">
  <Port>2597</Port>
  <Map>
    <Map>map4.mul</Map>
    <StaIdx>staIdx4.mul</StaIdx>
    <Statics>statics4.mul</Statics>
    <Width>181</Width>
    <Height>181</Height>
  </Map>
  <Tiledata>tiledata.mul</Tiledata>
  <Radarcol>radarcol.mul</Radarcol>
