    So... possibly a bit of a daft question.... but is it possible to be at the same coordinate ( i.e. [xxxxx, xxxxx, xxxx]) as someone else, if that person is on another planet/region of Entropia?

    If so, how would one know what planet someone who shares their coordinates is on? How would I know what planet *I* am on?

    Same question for space, how would I know I am in space?

    Ah... ok I think I just answered my own question although could use some help from people on other planets if you'd be willing?

    So spotted the answer lies in the Registry in 2 places:

    You could look at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MindArk\Entropia Universe\DynamicContent\GlobalPrioritizedPackage I'm assuming this updates to be whatever "planet" you are on when you change locations. All the possible options are in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MindArk\Entropia Universe\DynamicContent\Packages

    The other place with info available is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MindArk\Entropia Universe\UserInfo, which has the planet, planetID, partnerViewID, and TerritoryID.

    Now I'm on Caly right now so planet is "Calypso" and planetID is predictably 2. TerritoryID is 1. I'm hanging round on Eudoria. My PartnerViewID is 1.

    So it would be really useful to know what the values are for the other "planets". I think planetID is what I'd like to know most but interested to know what the others IDs are all about too in case they are useful.

    Thanks if you can help

    if i remember right they all are placed on different cordinate maps, so x,y,z on Rocktropia for instance does not exist on any other map or mini-map.

    Servers are 8192x8192 squares. Here are all the offsets. It seems some coordinates are reused after all.

    On a side note, instances including spaceships have coords starting at 0,0.

    I've tried to give a waypoint to someone in an identical instance... and it didn't work.

    Thanks Haruto. That is a really useful table!

    So I don't really understand what territoryID is yet... do you have any idea what would make it change? Thanks for the info on which planet ID Arkadia is.

    I might try hopping round Caly a bit and see if TerritoryID changes...

    San where on Ark were you at that time?

    So shaping up like so, so far...

    Planet PlanetID TeritoryID PartnerViewID
    Calypso 2 1 1
    Crystal Cavern 5 1 0
    Thule 5 1 0
    Arkadia 9 6 0

    Iirc at Rocky Ridge, which should be on the central server. Give me a few more days with my Android programming and I'm zonked out enough to try all nine ;)

    With time flying and a swiss cheese brain... Got no more data on Arkadia yet, but here is Next Island:

    Key Name: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MindArk\Entropia Universe\UserInfo

    LastVisitedTerritoryID: 0x4
    LastVisitedPlanetID: 0x203
    LastVisitedPlanet: Ancient Greece

    LastVisitedTerritoryID: 0x4
    LastVisitedPlanetID: 0x6
    LastVisitedPlanet: Next Island

    The IDs on Next Island are the same for all of its four servers, I made sure to logout once in every corner. Maybe a thing to check are the private land areas.

    Thanks tons! The plot thickens. Planet 203 haha. I wonder how that happened. If you happen to be in space, or any of the space stations (that orbit the planets) or inside a ship that you can walk around in. If you wouldn't mind checking for those too, that would be great.

    I really should get off my arse and leave Caly I know... I've been exploring again lately though... keep finding the pretty. (and got sucked in to killing Kerbies).

    Note it is hexadecimal 0x203 which equals 515.

    At first I thought territory id was subordinate to planet id and either change with every server or special area within the system, but seems it's the other way around, territory is the container unit for a planet group.

    Yes, do go out there, much more pretty to see :) Especially NI with its old-school feel. Quad or Sleipnir, check. Space thruster, check. Repair kit, check. Oil, check. Lootables to storage, check. Peds for landing fee, check. Off and weeee....!

    Edit: Open "Your EU program directory\program_data\planet_list.xbc" with a hex editor...

    Ooops haha oh man how did I miss that one? I must be going soft in the head! (Reaches for the database again).

    OK.... will try.

    I always feel like I fundamentally miss something with hex-editors. Couldn't see any numbers near the planet names that corresponded to the values we've seen so far.

    They are stored in 2 bytes and little-endian format, meaning 0x04 is seen as "04 00" and 0x203 as "03 02". Once you detect the pattern you can find all other values. There are more files ending with ".xbc" and interesting content...
