generating levels?
 

I've always wondered, how does kingdoms make all it's playerhouses, ship levels and treasure maps? I mean, do they have some sort of big archive in a folder, which triggers a level higher each time one is created (eg. playerhouse_105.nw to playerhouse_006.nw), or is there some sort of way that you can generate levels?

Any ideas anyone?

Uses copylevel I think.

Yep, copylevel.
It just copies a template level to a new name, counting the number of current houses and then adding the next number to the end of the new level name.

is it a graalscript command?

if so how would you use it in an NPC?

I would like to know the same thing.

Yes, it is a graal script command. I suppose it's like this, not sure though:

NPC Code:

---

copylevel levelname,newlevelname;

---

I'm almost sure it's not like that. I've tried it clientsided and serversided, and nothing happens.

Anyone else have any ideas on what the command might be?

You're obviously using it wrong.

Database-NPC is probably the answer. I remember someone scripting a system and using that command into a DB-NPC.

Graal Kingdoms also has that Terrian Generator. It randomly does levels by that long number. It's quite fun actually seeing what you can generate.

You can also use levelgenerator, which i think is better because i'm not using a 3D terrain

Tell him how to use it correctly?

I think the newly created level must not be in levels, but a subfolder... ? Dunno.

Thats correct. The folder you're copying to can't be the same you're copying from...

so, i would put an npc in the DB and make it go something like this?:

NPC Code:

---

if (created){

copylevel levelname.nw , playerhouses/levelname.nw;

}

---

That doesn't make them on the spot though...

Thats rather simplified, to the point where it won't work actualy :\ what happens when you make it to level #125 and the house #92 deletes? Then you'll be trying to create a level that already exists

...if only the search button still worked, there are a couple of threads about this topic already

ya, i got copylevel to work, and the level is in levels/copiedlevels/

I've set the folder config to 'level levels/playerhouses/*.nw'
but it says the level doesn't exist when i use warpto 30 30 copy1.nw.

Anyone know the problem now?

Don't start with levels/ It is kinda allready in levels... all you need is

NPC Code:

---

level playerhouses/*.nw

---

copylevel inside_copies/tent_original2.nw,inside_copies/tent_#s(server.tent).nw;
I used that for the tent on Valikorlia.

ok? your point?

Does a level auto update itself when i copy a other level over it?
