Overworld gmap problems

[dennis20014]

Hi, a buddy and I are making a server.

We found the old OW to babylon and are trying to piece it together, just so we know how to make gmaps right with hundreds of levels in place.
Now I put the bigmap txt all right (with the levels aligned and stuff)


"babylon_a01.nw","babylon_a02.nw",----
"babylon_b01.nw","babylon_b02.nw",


So on and so forth, we have 21 across, and its liike A - M down.

Now, I go into the level outside of "onlinestartlocal.nw" and for awhile the whole overworld worked, though all the levels were out of order it seemed. I pressed M to generate a map, but all I got was a big black map.

Can someone help?

A bit hard to understand, but the problem your having is all that your bigmap image isn't being loaded/generated, right?

Erm, bigmap and gmaps are two different things.

Okay uhm yea I can see that it is hard to understand. That is very confusing. Basically I'm trying to make it where all the levels appear linked and as one big one (like all overworlds are) and to make the minimap in the bottom left

I use to know how to do it, but it has been awhile and I can't figure it out.

I haven't done this in a long time but isn't it supposed to use setmap and setminimap? I didn't really experiment with either of these things back in the days but yeah...

That's what I thought too, since I have other levels made and used the same commands, however it doesn't seem to work for these new ones.

setmap graalmap.png,bigmap.txt,30,60; <---That's what I set it. I press M and it's suppose to render an image but it just gives me a black image

Are you sure the txt is properly uploaded? Is the script clientside or something?

[dennis20014]

I'm doing this completely offline in the editor, however, it seems just with these new levels it isn't properly working (or I can't test it at least)

With other overworlds I've made it works just fine..

Edit: Okay I got it figured out, the levels were in the wrong order, now I just have to go through and fix the level links lol
