Maps

[raiden0899]

I made a map but I cant get it to show when I press 'm' in the game. I have a gmap and I'm pretty sure its not the problem. Is there a script I need to put in the level to tell it to use the map or something?

NPC Code:

---

loadmap gmapname;

---

e.g: yourgmap.gmap

So put:

NPC Code:

---

loadmap yourgmap;

---

(no .gmap)

I already have that in the level but I still cant see the map when i press 'm'

this is interesting cause i had the same problem a while back when i was messing around with gmaps... and i couldnt fix mine either...

maybe just in offline mode "m" maps don't work?

Does your editor go in to map mode?

[raiden0899]

map mode?

You probably have automapping disabled in your f1 options. If you don't have or set a map image with setmap mapimage,maptext,x,y; you're not going to see anything in the map veiwer. Either that or your gmap is busted and Graal can't load it.

Automapping is enabled and I have a map image. I've never seen 'setmap' before. Do I need to put that in a script in the levels that use the map? If so, is it clientside?

Here's my gmap. I'm pretty sure its made right:

GRMAP001
WIDTH 10
HEIGHT 10
GENERATED firekingdom_j-10.nw
MAPIMG firekingdom.png

Kid's these days! I blame the hip-hop music!

Oh yeah, that's right, you don't need setmap with a gmap, since it sets the map image in the gmap...

Well anyway, is the map actually loading? I.E. do you see a four directional arrow in the editor?
Edit: No, you didn't use the terraingenerator, so I doubt you don't have the .gmap extension on the file... But yeah, is the gmap actually loading?
If not, I'm just going to assume you didn't name your gmap with the .gmap extension. Add that to the end of the name and it should work (assuming that is your problem) *kicks Stefan*

i didnt use the terrain generator. i have the .gmap extention on the file. it loads in the editor and i can see all the levels and when im in the game the levels are connected. it just wont show the map when i press 'm'

Alright, so does nothing happen when you press m, or does the screen go to the black map screen as if it were going to show the map but doesn't? I'm just trying to identify what exactly is going on.
If nothing happens, I would assume you have a "disablemap;" somewhere. Otherwise I believe the problem must lie in your map image itself.

nothing happens when i press m, i dont have disablemap; in any of my scripts, and im pretty sure its not the map image
