GMAP Bug

[xAndrewx]

This is how I create GMAPs and I've never had any issues-

• Create the GMAP file (ensure the WIDTH and HEIGHT are correct)
• Load the Levels & GMAP in to the relevant FTP folders (i.e. levels/gmaps)
• Add the GMAP file name to the 'GMAPS=' in server options
• Add 'loadmap GMAPNAME.gmap' to a weapon which is added to the player on login
• Finally warp to the GMAP and it will work

I've created many in the past not in this order and they've always had issues. :[

I was told that we no longer needed to use loadmap() or setmap().. That all of that was done automatically. Was I told wrong?

this is correct

gmap file is built up like this, combining gmaps is a real pain to do manually if they are big... best to use a nifty javascript to add the levels in quotes with commas to their respective place

extending a map vertically is easier than horizontally imo

PHP Code:

GRMAP001
WIDTH X
HEIGHT Y
LEVELNAMES
"levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw"
"levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw"
"levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw"
"levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw"
"levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw","levelname.nw"
LEVELNAMESEND

hello!

i dont think loadmap should be used on a server either, its a relic from the past

the one real use for it is for loading a gmap within the offline editor, however a much more convenient method to achieve this is to create a text file within your graal folder called 'loadgmaps.txt', with each map name (without .gmap) listed on a new line like so:

PHP Code:

jakovasaurland_overworld
jakovasaurland_secretisland
jakovasaurland_outerspace 


then all listed gmaps should load automatically within the offline editor, it may require deleting filenamecache.txt first
