Roja Report post Posted July 10, 2006 there's no reason to make a def file if your map is not going in the game..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kacper Report post Posted July 10, 2006 Ouch ONly modertor Can do this ? In order to be able to enter & exit houses, go to other maps, use ships, etc., a .def file must be written. A .def file has the x,y coordinate areas, object id's for the objects you click on, and other necessary information to make it work. Some VERY IMPORTANT information before you start writing your .def file! 1. You cannot delete any 3d objects after you started making your .def file. Make sure you are FINISHED with your map BEFORE you start! The reason is because all of the object ID's get saved in numerical order, and if you delete one, they will all shift downward and have new object ID's, so you'll have to check all the objects and rewrite your .def file. 2. The .def file must have the same name as your map name. 3. The map #'s in the .def files(on lines like this: teleport_map:1) do not correspond to your map #. Those numbers will be assigned to you by Roja or Moonshadow. 4. The .def file is just a text file, and can be written in any text editor(even notepad). Save the file with .def as the extension. 5. You can get the coordinates by hovering a height map tile over the square you want to use. X pos and Y pos are the x,y coordinates you'll need and they are listed at the bottom of the screen. 6. You can get the map object ID number by clicking on the 3d object. Object ID is listed on the bottom of the screen. Or alternative, if you do not want to move the object, press ctrl+e and ALT+left click on the object to get it's info. Contents of a .def file: *Note: this is not an actual .def file, but shows all the parts that can be used in one, and examples of usage. Also, everything inside these "quote marks" are names that can be changed and set by you, they are there so that we can keep track of things easier. map_name: `Desert Pines` allow_combat: 1 allow_rain: 1 allow_multicombat: 1 allow_harvesting: 0 location_info min_x: 12 min_y: 114 max_x: 95 max_y: 149 text: `- Mynadar` text_area min_x: 561 min_y: 0 max_x: 570 max_y: 22 text: `Warning!

Acelon Report post Posted July 10, 2006 She is right, it was posted months ago that no more maps will be accepted for now. Also that .def file you just posted is self explanatory, if you can't understand it on first glance, keep looking at it until you do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenod Report post Posted July 12, 2006 Also that explanation of a .def file is my own creation. Thanks woof for giving me credit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
