Map Manual

[Tyrannis]

Hello< I've looked for the map manual on forums and am unableto find it, it is not in my EL folder. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me with.

It is in your EL directory. mapeditor.html.

It is in your EL directory. mapeditor.html.

It is not there, I checked all folders, and did a file find too. Is there a way to download it with out having to download the entire game again?

Also note that we don't need map makers now, if that was your intention.

No, that wasn't my intention. I downloaded the game again and the file is still missing. Guess I'll ask for another player to email it to me.

 

Thx anyway for the help.

Try this (i think this is what Acelon was trying to guide you to):

http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9084

 

 

I don't have a mapeditor.html either, I only have a little mapeditor text file that says only this in my folder:

 

Only directives that start with a # are taken in consideration
Anything else is treated as a comment
For the directives that accept a boolean value (on/off), 0 is off, 1 is on

video modes:
1 = 640x480  
2 = 800x600  
3 = 1024x768 
4 = 1152x864 
5 = 1280x1024

#video_mode = 2

Setting this to a non-zero value will throttle the map editor back only when it's 
grabbing far more CPU time than it really needs to render a scene smoothly.
This shouldn't affect slower systems at all, as they need all the CPU 
time that they can get to render nicely.
#limit_fps=60

This option is currently only available on linux, and allows you to 
specify a directory other than the current directory to load data from.
#data_dir = /usr/share/games/eternal-lands/

The following setting decides whether the browser window should be closed once
you selected an object from it.
#close_browser_on_select = 1

This setting provides you with a small X on the map where you're currently located
when in minimap-mode.
#show_position_on_minimap = 1

This setting decides if you should show the grid as default or not.
#show_grid = 0

The following setting decides the time interval in minutes between when the map editor
saves the map automatically to maps/Autosave.elm. If 0, it will not save the map automatically.
#auto_save = 5

Thank you. None of the players I contacted had the file; I played around with it trying all kinds of shortcuts, and since its so friendly use I feel comfortable using it now. But if anyone out there does have the manual I'd appreciate if you could share, just to make sure I'm not missing anything important.

 

Btw: I did read that tutorial before I posted here, and It was of Great help.

Thanks All.

Ok you can also find it here..no idea how it could have gotten out of the EL directory(don't download it all again, that won't help).
