Smile How to make a map

Ok aparently some people are making pw's, but have no idea how to make a map, well here is the best way i've found to make a map and be able to test your world at the same time
1. Make a new folder called My_Server or something
2. copy everything in the graal folder to the new folder
3. obtain a copy of graal v1.4 exec and rename it to graal14.exe and place it in the new folder
4. put you levels in the levels folder
5. put the images in the levels\images folder
6. etc. etc. etc.
7. be sure that bigmap.txt fits your world (e.g. "myworld1.graal","myworld2.graal","etc.")
8. Open graal14.exe, press F4 to open the editor, then press M to generate the map of your world
9. open the map in an image viewer such as PSP (http://www.jasc.com)
10. convert the color depth of the map to 256 colors
11. save it as map.png in the new folder
12. Reopen graal14.exe and load a level from your server
13. press M to view the map.
14. This will also correctly link your levels so you know what they'll look like online =)
15. that's all there is to it
