Ok, all the levels have to be in the smae folder as the ones in the txt. the txt has to be named bigmap.txt........then click the the first level on the txt.....and hit M.....it should work.

what your doing wrong is this, your loading graal then going to f4 and blah blah. What you have to do is double click one of the levels that is on the bigmap.txt (onlinestartlocal.graal for example) and then when it loads graal him M.

If you cant open graal levels by double clicking then you need to set it up so that you can because you cant generate a map any other way

=D

when i use Graal Map Maker I cant find the bigmap.txt

where does it export to?

[Slaktmaster]

put the map text file with the levels file

open graal, press f4, get into the editor and open a level that sets the map txt (setmap in an npc) and just press M

Once made you'll have to convert your map image to an 8-bit .png file as well, Graal can't handle any images with a higher amount then 256 colours.

there is another way.... , name the .txt file tutorialmap.txt and then put it in the tutorial folder. open tutorial mode on graal and make sure all your levels are in the level folder , hit f4 and then hit m. Accept to make map and after it goes through all the levels it asks you to save it somewhere i have found this the most effective way

Beat me to it. Heh. Yes, make sure your image is 256 colors (8-bit). Pressing M saves a png file, but it isn't 8-bit. You gotta manually do that.

Where ever the Map Maker program is installed.

Guys, I know about the map making part, but what are you talking abut with the bigmap.txt, ho would i get my leves into that 0.o Its the only confusing thing about that whold process.

Also, do you know where I can get a image converter... I only have Print Master Gold, Idraw, and that shitty Paint Program...

Step One - Put all levels in one folder
Step Two - Make a txt file and name it bigmap.txt
Step Three - Delete all existing bigmap.txt (so that Graal doesn't use the wrong one)
Step Four - Type in the txt file, all of the level names like this:

"world_aa-01.graal","world_ab-01.graal","world_ac-01.graal","world_ad-01.graal","world_ae-01.graal"
"world_aa-02.graal","world_ab-02.graal","world_ac-02.graal","world_ad-02.graal","world_ae-02.graal"
"world_aa-03.graal","world_ab-03.graal","world_ac-03.graal","world_ad-03.graal","world_ae-03.graal"

(Each line is one row on the map)

Step Five - Save the txt file in the same folder as the levels
Step Six - Double click one of the levels from the folder it's in. Don't open Graal through Training mode, it will use tutorialmap.txt instead of bigmap.txt
Step Seven - Press M
Step Eight - Change the image from 16 bit to 8 bit colors.
