[Shadox]

i understand it less!...cause im just too lazy to pssibly comprihend all of those exceptionally large words...also i dont get why there is so many

[hydralisk150]

is there a way to get all the maps on it so i can use all the tiles?

[Bl0nkt]

Vulcan, you're helping a dead cause. rofl.

Wait until they learn what development is first.

How do I get a bigger map the map I want to design is much bigger than the one it supplies.

Use a Gmap. If you don't know what that is, or how to make one; Search the forums. All your questions will have been answered in previously made threads.

Poor Vulcan, explains an answer, get another question. Repeat.
Explaining to them is like trying to get a sumo wrestler to get a score of 10, performing at swan lake ballet performance.
*Edit
Could you script the doors, seats, TV's and trader areas please?

Doors probably run on actiongrab. Here's what it would be in GS1:

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters) show;



if (actiongrab) {

  hide;

  sleep 2;

  show;

}

---

This is probably wrong, but it might be this in GS2 (sorry for any mistakes, I don't know too much with it yet):

NPC Code:

---

function onplayerenters() show;



function onactiongrab() {

  hide;

  sleep("2")

  show;

}

---

God, I feel like a new scripter again. :[

Edit:

Seats are tiles for zone_dropship and the TV is an image.

Copy everything you see in the PHP Code (the colorful words in the scrolling box). Go to the level editor (Easiest way is to go on graal2 and hit "Editor"). Go to Baddies, NPCs, Chests and click the thing that looks like an outline of a person. Drop it in the level and double-click it. Paste everything you copied into it. Close out of it and save your level with the correct prefix to use those tiles. By this I mean save your level with either "zone_arctic, zone_wars, zone_whatever" in the beginning of the filename (example: zone_arctic_test1.nw). Hit "Play" and then F4. You should be able to use the tiles.

Ah! wow that's easier

The same way as on a desktop.


And do you mean Era's tiles?

[Bl0nkt]

Let me try to explain prefixes a bit better.

A prefix is a character that comes before a word/sentence/etc. A prefix in files are what comes before that filename.

Example: Say the prefix is level_. Say the level name is lol.nw.

Now, take the level name, lol.nw, and put the level_ prefix on it. It becomes level_lol.nw.

Question: Who cares?
Answer: Many times, when you see random blocks or unusable tiles, it's because the wrong prefix was used.

Take a look at the tiledefs for Zone.

Look at the fourth, fifth and sixth lines down. You will see this:

PHP Code:

tileset_zone-dropship.png,zone_dropship_,4,1024,256
tileset_zone-dropship2.png,zone_dropship_,4,1408,256
tileset_zone-dropship3.png,zone_dropship_,4,1024,0 


There are three images listed there, one being tileset_zone-dropship.png. The image looks like this:



Question: What does that matter?
Answer: That's a group of tiles that you can use for level editing.

Question: Wow! How do I use them!?
Answer: Prefixes.

This is how we will do this. Look at the first line. Notice zone_dropship_ after the image name? Guess what? That's a prefix. Use that prefix in your level name and that image will appear on your tileset. You may have noticed this prefix is also in the other two lines listed. So guess what? Those images will be added too!

I hope this answered some questions.

You can also achieve this by pasting the code from Bl0nkt's post into the levels/tiledefs/tiledefs_Offline.txt, and using the prefix described.
