Daxon Report post Posted April 30, 2005 It's more or less time consuming than complicated. Even I've gotten the hang of it now. Just make sure you write it AFTER you finish the whole map or you will pay the price later if you end up deleting anything later from the map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crannog Report post Posted May 2, 2005 Perhaps a big warning should be added to the tutorial - right next to where it says SAVE SAVE SAVE...there should be something that says NEVER PRESS ESC KEY - EVER !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cedox Report post Posted August 27, 2005 (edited) Note. In the map editor it says: Now get busy and make ALL the water in your map UNWALKABLE. Apparently water is already unwalkable so you can't make it unwalkable. This can be turned off, but it's not so by default. Confused me for 15 minutes until I found answer here in the forums. EDIT: It would be good to mention in the SAVE OFTEN DAMMIT section that incremental saving is a very good way to keep earlier versions safe. If you make MAJOR mistake like you do a whole castle or something horribly wrong you can revert to earlier version. Also if something as awkward(yeah, right) as windows crashes during your saving you still have something and don't need to start from scratch. Incremetal saving: MyMap001.elm, MyMap002.elm etc etc. -cedox Edited August 27, 2005 by cedox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daxon Report post Posted August 27, 2005 Cedox, just open autosave in the maps folder. It usually saves anything important before a catastrophe (although, you -might- lose a couple things). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

70347 Report post Posted September 20, 2005 Yes, you can still use this to learn the basics. It doesn't explain all the features of the editor though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cyprom Report post Posted August 6, 2006 I want to make a map but I can't test it anywhere it seems... Is there any server port where I can edit stuff to existing maps and try them out? Or is there any way I can get on a new map I made myself on test server or something? I can make a map, see it in mapeditor, but that's it. I don't know if it works... So, if there is a way, can anyone let me know plz? Thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evilmangopie Report post Posted December 16, 2007 That has allready been answered. Looking at it in the map editor is the furthest you can get it until you pay to get it ingame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roja Report post Posted December 17, 2007 You don't need to. What you see in the map editor is how it will be, so if you've done everything right there won't be any problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
