Gmap won't work.
 

Hello i've been trying to create a gmap but it just won't work.

If i saw warpto 30 30 overworld-a01.nw it'll take me to a level with just grass. Not the actual overworld-a01.nw the RC playerlist says i'm on the gmap.

Heres what i've done (following the instructions on the wiki)
-Added level *.gmap to folder configuration.
-set gmaps= on the server options to gmaps=overworld (also tried gmaps=overworld, )

What's wrong?

Thanks.

Upload the GMAP to the levels folder

Set the serverops

Make sure .gmap or whatever is in the folder configuration

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE



if (playerenters) {

  gmapnameherewithoutthe.gmapextension;

}

---

Reconnect to the server

Always works for me :D

It still doesn't work.

As i said i have gmaps=overworld in the server options and i have level *.gmap in the folder configuration

Surley the npc you posted should be loadmap gmapnameherewithoutthe.gmapextension; ?


Anyway, now it's gone even weirder. I reconnected and now the levels don't appear to be linked. I.e. you can walk to the right edge of overworld_a01.nw and not get warped to overworld_b01.nw. I opened the level in the level editor and it's linked.

#GMAPS= I believe?

Make sure that the script isn't in an NPC within the level. Make the loadmap script a weapon.

# is used to cancle it out. It's
gmaps=gmap1.gmap,gmap2.gmap

Make sure the gmap file isn't messed up

The gmap file looks fine to me

GRMAP001
WIDTH 16
HEIGHT 16
LEVELNAMES
....*snip* lots and lots of levels *snip*....
LEVELNAMESEND


It was generated by the level generator so it should be Ok.

Did you count the width [total levels -->] is 16?
and total height 16 [total levels vv] is 16?

It was generated by the level generator from a 1024x1024 image.

There's 256 levels in total.

(i'm going to unlink all but the top quarter of them until we have that filled. It's just easier to reconnect them later than try to extend a small gmap when we need the extra space.)

Warp to the gmap, not the individual level.

I just end up a level filled with grass wherever on the .gmap I warp.

Did you add
//#CLIENTSIDE
loadmap gmap;
into an NPC?

yeah as a weapon. I tried loadmap overworld; that diddnt work and i tried loadmap overworld.gmap; and that diddn't work either :(

I don't think the gmap is being downloaded. I can't overworld.gmap anywhere in my graal folder.

The problem was a missing "file *.gmap" entry in folder config (gmaps need both level and file entries); it is fixed now.
