Terrain > Gmap > level Editing

[barkergaming]

I created a gmap and the levels for a set of terrain, but how do I navigate through and know which tileset to edit?

The files are named in a way to navigate it i can tell, but what do i use for a reference (I did save a picture of the grid part in the level editor...

Thanks

You mean how to use loadgmaps.txt in the Graal folder and levels/tiledefs/tiledefsOffline.txt ?

[Chompy]

Tileset: picso.png
Location: graal/

too load the gmap (navigate through)
use loadmap mapname; in a npc, without .gmap (for the name, like myworld, not myworld.gmap)

Is this for online or offline?

Actually, chompy was nice enough to show me the best way to go through it on my own server..

It was offline, so i knew what map i was modifying, and it turns out there's a really good way.. Thanks everyone

ok, I think you wanted it detailed:

First, upload the gmap file into "levels/",
then, go to server options and write in "gmaps=name" without the .gmap extension, now,
load up all the levels that do contain to the gmap file into "levels/", don't enter it get :] Now in rc chat, write "/updatelevel name.gmap",
the gmap gets updated, now, make a weapon gui script, name for example... "-tileset"

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  loadmap("gmap name"); // without .gmap extension
  removetiledefs("");       // removes the old tiledefs
  addtiledef("picso.png", "start_", 1);
 /*
  adds a new tiledef with picso as tileset,
  too all levels starting with "start_",   with the tileset type 1
  (0 = pics1 || 1 = picso)
  */
} 


and then give -tileset to your player, now you can logon, should work

PS: ^---- Is for online use of terrain maps



Offline is just doing like

loadmap mapname; // without .gmap extension

And I think that should go in the first level (upper left corner, for example start_aa-01.nw) This is for navigating through levels tho

If this didn't work, I have no clue
(It worked for me..)

PS: I am not a master in writing english, so there might be some grammar wrongs or spell errors

No idea but I used to do loadmap and people were like LOL CRONO U NOOB U DUN NEED LOADMAP SERVEROPS TAEKZ CAR OF THATY LOL

Should probably release an editor version where the loadmap command is disabled and gives an error, since everyone uses it wrongly. Offline use loadgmaps.txt, never use loadmap. Online you can use loadmap to preload a map, it doesn't do anything else. You never need it, since the server is placing you correctly on the gmap and the client is downloading missing gmaps (or in case it is corrupted on the hard drive). On Zone we don't use loadmap, on Graal Kingdoms we used loadmap for preloading the kingdom maps so that you don't lag when entering a new map with your ship, although I don't know if it's still needed.

For offline I always use loadmap gmapname; and it works fine. But is there a loadgmaps.txt? Do we have to place the gmap name in there and we're done? If so neat but loadmap is more convenient since you just add it while you're in the level editor. :]
