    If you want to make your own guild map then you need to download the newest map editor.

     

    Download it and install it directly into your Eternal Lands directory. Do not let your unzip program create a new folder for it to go in. Instead, when you download it save it directly into your EL folder and choose "extract here". if you're on windows the default path would be here: C:/Program Files/Eternal Lands/

     

    Map Editor Download Link for Windows

     

     

    Linux map editor? If you can compile it and give me one I'll post a link for that here ;)

     

    *Notes on some changes:

    -Now all maps are saved as .elm.gz which the map editor can open/save to.

    -If you want to delete ground tiles, you can now hold down shift in delete tile mode and "paint" delete them, making it easier/faster

    **There is a bug if you delete tiles in the m minimap mode-it will delete the height map as well! So do not use this unless you want a null height map!

    Ou I love the last one with the falcon bromber..thanks!

    With and without effects are fine to post. I don't really care what creations...I'm just looking for screenshots that look cool :)

    It's hard to describe exactly what shots I'm looking for, I look at the overall picture but basically it has to:

     

    -Be easy to read, nothing confusing to make someone say "wtf is that"

    -Have points of interest-half blank screens are boring to look at

    -Make sense overall(for instance I like your summoning shots where you are standing instead of sitting...sitting looks kinda odd for summoning creatures.)

    -Meet all the criteria I listed in my first post here :)

     

     

     

    Kilomenjaro: that's a great shot..but you're supposed to be using the new test client...

    nathanstenzel: I did go through and fix all the bugs myself. A lot was posted however so it is possible I missed something on accident. Also realize you might have to wait for the next release that contains updated maps for some of the bugs to be fixed.

    Hey guys, with the upcoming release of the new client we will have to replace all the old screenshots with new ones. So we could use your help in gathering some together :bow_arrow:

     

    READ EVERYTHING BELOW BEFORE POSTING!

     

    Screenshot requirements:

    -This is only if you have downloaded the test clients with the new artwork-do not post old screenshots.

    -OFFICIAL DATA only! No custom anything-all custom stuff is unofficial. This includes: custom clothing, custom maps, unofficial clients, etc..

    -No cropping of the screenshot. We need the full screen shown, including the interface.

    -No inappropriate chat(it is ok to have some chat showing)

    -Ideally the resolution should be 1024x 768-if it is bigger that's fine too, no need to resize.

    -All the game features(shadows, water reflections, fog, etc..) should be turned on.

    -name tags/healthbars can be on or off, doesn't matter.

     

    Screenshot that are needed:

    -sitting/chatting with friends, guilds

    -fighting(monsters, pk)

    -invasions

    -doing different skills- it's ok to have the inv or manu windows open, just make sure it's not half way cut off and that it's positioned nicely on the screen some how.

    -spell casting/summoning, showing some of the spellFX would be nice.

    -Do not post night time screenshots! I'll gather a couple of these myself, but most night shots it's hard to see much so they're not good to use.

     

    Things a good screenshot should have:

    -Be easy to read, nothing confusing to make someone say "wtf is that"

    -Have points of interest-half blank screens are boring to look at

    -Make sense overall(for instance I like your summoning shots where you are standing instead of sitting...sitting looks kinda odd for summoning creatures.)

     

     

    If your post is deleted it's because you didn't follow one of the guidelines above.

    Thank you guys...please only post door bugs(like the door inside the wall), upside down rock bugs, and BIG visual bugs from now on...if it's just a small thing it's not a big deal. I was mainly concerned about the entrances/exits working.

     

    Bugabear, all the links at the bottom of your last post are broken, can you fix them?

     

    Also when you post bugs, please group them so that one group is bugs from the same map, then another group from a different map(insides are a separate map for example). Thanks! :pickaxe:

     

     

    Jayim_Duinara, can you please post coordinates for the Tirnym past bugs? I really need coordinates to be able to fix stuff..the maps are huge so it will take me a very long time to try and fix bugs without coordinates :bow_arrow:
