stupid map question

darkriders_p2p · #1 10-02-2002, 03:25 AM

I want to make a map for my levels.
do I just enter:

NPC Code:

if (playerenters) {

setmap MAPNAME.txt,0,0;

}

and just walk through the levels?
Because that doesn't work

NPC Code:



if (created){

  setmap mapname.png,mapnametextfile.txt,60,30;

}

is what I use.
Of course, you need to have a text file with the levels listed specifically and stuff.

the way I put it is SUPPOSED to add each level you go on to your map

use test.
It might give you an error.

I don't see what's wrong with pressing M to generate it...

You need bigmap.txt with all the level names in it.

The way Toran does it is much better.
It gives you the full map then you can also auto-map it when new stuff is added.

Which is what I included in the code I gave him...

You need to set an image and a levels' text file. Those dumb numbers don't seem to actually work, atleast not when I tried.

Do please try to name your txt file something other than bigmap.txt, I don't need 20 different text files of the same name on my computer...

I use:

NPC Code:



setmap image.png,text.txt,playerx,playery;

Just wondering, what do the numbers after setmap map.png,bigmap.txt, stand for? Are they positioning for something, and if so, what do they position and why? Also, I saw this script (not saying where) that makes the RC Icon on the minimap follow the player. How would a script like that be made?

The position doesn't matter unless you're using minimap, in which case I use mapx and mapy. You need a .txt file containing "levelname" in a format.

The position is where the players' head apear when they are not on the map.
The unit is levels. (1,1) is the top-left corner of the level world-b_2.graal.

I did what toran/robin said, to generate the map with M. (I think thats what I did last time, but I forget alot). But I have a small bug. The map comes up all "liney" and because of this it doesn't link the levels right

o.O Maps are hard with linking etc
