map
 

It's gonna sound dumb...but I'm having trouble with the map. I don't want a script of it, just an explination, just say where i should put certain data. And how i could create a map and mini map, without too much work. :\ Thanks!

ok i should explain more, i did not use the level generator to make my server, how should i work the script to use an image i made work as the map?

I believe you need a Gmap.

i could also make an image, but i need to know exactly how to use the script, how to make your persons head appear in the right spot, i can easily set it up, but i cant make it have a 'you are here' head above your possition, thats all i need help with :\

didn't help much if i cant find out here i'll go and ask support, but i kbnow some one out there knows and could help :D plzz?

Map tutorial

-The text file
You will need a text file with the levels ordered in it.
For example, name the file "bigmap.txt"
So, you open it, and write levels in it. You have a 4x4 map (4 by 4 levels). The levels are listed like this:
-----------------------------------
"mylevel_a-1.nw","mylevel_b-1.nw"
"mylevel_a-2.nw","mylevel_b-2.nw"
-----------------------------------
With the quotations.
That tells the graal.exe how to read your levels when you choose to generate a map.

then do this

-The Levels
Okay! We've written the text file, now to make the levels (and link them [not explained... I hope you have enough sense to figure it out!])
Make four levels, and name them

mylevel_a-1.nw
mylevel_b-1.nw
mylevel_a-2.nw
mylevel_b-2.nw

and place them in the same folder as the text file.
link them as needed.

Now, in Level-editting mode (f4) open the first level on your map press "M" and it will ask you if you want to generate a map. Select "yes" or "ok" or whatever, and it will eventually finish with an image asking to be named, sort of. Go to the folder that your levels and .txt are in, and save it. Boom, you have a map image.

To get your map and all the levels to link together, put the script

NPC Code:

setmap mapname.png,bigmap.txt,30,60;

and it won't matter that i didn't use the level maker?

in the first level? or all?

Nope

It would help if it was used each time the player is online rather than putting it in every level.
