Small Problems

posted on November 4th, 2004, 8:18 pm

So I've got some problems with the Mapeditor:
Evertime when I want to create a new Map I can't change the Size of it!
And when I change an exiting Map and creates new Startpoints it will creates on n the middle of the map...

I hope you can Help me

- Change the map size in the menu
- Press the OK-Botton
- Save your map with Crt+S
- Then exit the edtior
- Reopen the editor and reload your map
- Now the Size change is activ


Start Points:

- Place your Cursor on the Map
- Hold the ALT-Key
- Press the Left-Mouse-Button
- Doubleklick on the point
- Rename the Point to : Camera_X ( X = Player Number from 1 up to 8 )
- Save your map with CRT+S
- Go to your BZN Directory in your Fleetops Directory
- Open the txt file of your map (it has the same name as the map)
- Scroll to the End of the File
- Check the Starting Points, right is : // Path: "Camera_X" (1 points)
every Startpoint has to look like this (with the corret numbers in corret order)

- If something is not ok, open the map again and corret it and save it again

OK the problem with the startpoint is solved but i tried to change the size, it seems that it won´t be accepted, I thought it coould be that i used to great numbers but I change it just by 1000 and it won´t be accepted...

What the hell icould I do?

After changing the map size, save the map and exit the editor. Then start the editor again and load the map

now it has the new size

Its important to save your map with CRT+S, only with this command armada generates a minimap

If that wasn't the fault, try to change your resulution to 800x600 and try it again
