GMAPs
 

I am desperately trying to comprehend this whole GMAP idea. No one tells me the same thing. I got a GMAP made. Now how do I integrate this into a server? Heres two ways I got:

loadmap mapname.gmap;

or

setmap with the textfile as the gmap.

Now also, in folder config do I set the GMAP as a level?
level levels/*.gmap
or
gmap levels/*.gmap

And finally in serveroptions,
gmap=gmapname
Do I include the .gmap extension?

Any help would be appreciated. I really want to get this all organized for me in my head.

don't include the extension in serveroptions, yes add it as a level in folder config, just treat it like a level.. a really really big level.

Re: GMAPs
 

loadmap mapname; <- Generally use that, and as Stefan loads all gmaps on the server on login, I suppose it is good practice to do so
gmaps=gmapname1,gmapname2 <- gmaps= gets a comma seperated list of gmap names without .gmap extension
levels *.gmap <- That goes into the folder options. I think you still need to mark the levels in the folder options too, though

Do not use setmap.

IM me if you fail to get it to work.

Hey ok thats great. Your got me going now Loriel. Thx again! :)

You need both a 'file' and a 'level' entry in folder config for gmaps.

level *.gmap
file *.gmap

I always assume anything in folder config automatically has to be declared as a file first.

This thread inspired me.
Please comment.

It's very good.

I made a flat gmap program awhile ago in php:

Dunno how helpful it is anymore now that the level gen can do it.

Nope. Just files you want the client to download. Normal levels, for example, need not be declared as a file.
