Mapping Tutorial

The idea of this tutorial is to cover as many of the basic concepts in mapping, starting with accessing the editor, choosing the layers, the attributes, and how they react when used. I will also be placing some pictures up to help people follow better.

Before we can map, you must make sure you have access to the /Mapeditor command. This guide will assume you do. If not contact your server owner and see if they are willing to have you upgraded to a mapper status.

When you choose a map it will often be blank, or will be covered by the first 32x32 pixle of your Tiles.bmp the screen shot below shows the map I will be using for this guide already filled by grass on the Ground layer.


Now that you are on your map, make sure you are speaking on the default tab. You can do this by clicking default on your chat window below the map you are on. Then type and submit /Mapeditor to bring up the map editor. You should see an area to the right of the map your standing on open a menu looking similar to the one shown in the picture below. The graphics displayed are baised on your Tiles.bmp in the GFX folder of your Client.


The Red square on this next picture shows the section of the Tiles.bmp you are viewing, this can be changed by using the scroll bar to the right hand side of the box. Using your mouse you can select a 32x32 square of the Tiles.bmp, when a tile is selected it will show up in the area boxed by the Yellow square. The Yellow Square is the current tile you are using to make your map with.


Now its time to get into the Layers used in playerworlds. As you can see in the next picture in the Red Square I have selected Layers this enabled the options in the Yellow Square to be selected. These options are: Ground, Mask, Animation, and Fringe.


When these four layers are used well, you can add a measure of depth and realism to your maps. To my experience as a mapper I find that most of what makes a good game look good, is the skill of its mappers. The best GFX out there can still look horrible if someone dosn't know how to use the layers.

Ground This is used for backgrounds as all other layers are on top of this one.


Mask This is layer is the most versatile layer, it can be used to add detail to a map, or help to give an obstruction to movement when combined with other Attributes of mapping.


Animation Animation is a flashing layer, usually to used for water or small plants to add movement to maps in hopes of making them look 'alive'.


Fringe Fringe is a tricky layer, this is the only layer that is viewed OVER the player sprite. Fringe is also viewed over every other layer: Ground, Mask and Animation.



Now for the Attributes of Mapping in playerworlds. You can see in the picture below I have the Attributes selected in the Red Square. This will give you the options in the Yellow Square. These options are: Block, Warp(Door), Warp(Point), Item, NPC Avoid, Key, Key Open, Damage, Heal, and Sign.


Using some of these Attributes can be confusing at first. So I will start with the simple ones, and move on to the harder ones with a more in depth explaination of them.

Block: This tile is shown on the mapeditor as a red 'B' it hinders the movement of both players and NPC's on that map. Making them unable to enter that square on the grid.

NPC Avoid: This tile is shown on the mapeditor as a white 'N' it hinders the movement of only NPC's on that map, allowing players to move easily through the square.

Heal: This tile is shown on the mapeditor as a green 'H' it hinders the movement of NPC's on that map, and when a player walks over it their HP is restored to full.


Warp(Door): This tile allows you to send a player to another X, Y on another Map. You fill in the Map Number you want to send the player to, followed by the X, and the Y. When you place this tile on the map it looks like a pink 'Door' as seen in the picture.


Warp(Point): This tile allows you to send a player to another X, Y on another Map. You fill in the Map Number you want to send the player to, followed by the X, and the Y. When you place this tile on the map it looks like a blue 'W' as seen in the picture. Unlike Warp(Door) this warp makes a noise when a player uses it.


Item: This tile allows you to spawn items on a map, that has the Properties of Respawn as a yes. The Tile looks like a white 'I' on the mapeditor.


Key: This tile allows you to block all movement through a tile unless a player has the item to allow them to pass. You can also control if the key is a one time use, by having the key consumed after it is used by the player. It shows up as a white 'K' on your map editor.


Key Open: This tile allows a player to open a door by stepping on this tile as long as the door is on the same map. Shown as a white 'O' in the mapeditor.


Damage: This tile allows you to deal a base ammount of damage to any player walking through it. It also allows you to set any piece of armor a player can equip to negate the damage of walking through this tile. Looks like a red 'D' in the mapeditor.


Sign: This tile allows you to block a players movement, allowing NPC's to access area's where players cannot. However the main use of this tile is to allow a player who is facing it to press Ctrl and recieve a message made in the Sign Editor. This shows up as a yellow 'S' on the mapeditor.


Now for the map Properties these allow you to connect maps to other maps by default, set the locations for respawn on death, place NPC's on the map, Shops on the map, Map Morale, and the Music on the map.

Setting Map Morale There are four map Morales, each one does something different for combat. These are: None, Safe Zone, Arena and, Savage Land.

None: The map name will be Red, allowing Player v Player combat for all players level 10+ Xp is lost and equipment is dropped on death.

Safe Zone: The map name will be White, dis-abling Player v Player combat (exception of PK'ers who are considered always None Morale), Xp is lost and equipment is dropped on death.

Arena: The map name will be grey, allowing Player V Player combat, no XP loss or equipment loss when you die(except PK'er's who are considered always None Morale).

Savage Lands: The map name will be Yellow, I don't often use this mode, but it functions much as Safe Zone from what I have seen.


Setting NPC's You can select the drop down box to the right as shown in this following picture to set any created NPC onto your new map.


Setting Shop You can select the drop down box under Morale to set a shop in this map as seen in the following picture. All shops must be made in the /shopeditor.


Setting Adjacent Maps By entering a Map number in any of the four text entry locations in the Red box of the following picture you can set what maps will be: North, South, Eas and West of this current map. When you move to the edge of the current map and attempt to move off of the map it will take you to the reverse edge of the next map(moving off the right will bring you to the map you placed on the right hand side, but on the left side of the new map).


Setting Respawn points Called a Boot Point, this is how you set where a player respawns when they die on this map. Starting with a Map Number and the X, Y of where you want them to appear. This location is marked by a yellow square in the above picture.



That is all that I can think of at the moment for mapping. If any other experienced mappers see something I left out please let me know so it can be added on. Hopefully this will help all those new mappers out there, good luck and as always have fun.




How to Script On playerworlds



Alright, I have made a scripting handbook for people. I have dubbed it the ultimate scripting handbook. I got the list of commands and some definitions from Dr.Spoon, Aranshada, Mangus, Grand Warrior, Zezima, and Aufty. I came up with the examples and most definitions from my main.as
It lists commands, definitions, and examples. The subs came from my old main.as

Subs
Sub Init()

CODE
Sub Init()

'Set your Server name.
Call SetServerName("Nitrosa")

'Initialize the system tray icon, with the name you wish. Remember to set your server ‘name BEFORE initializing the Tray! You should no longer pass a name to the InitTray ‘Sub, it automatically picks up the Server Name from above.
Call InitTray()

'Set your Server port.
Call SetServerPort(7234)
'Set the maximum maps.

Notes
• In general, Call is used before all commands unless used inside another VB statement like If--Then--Else or Select Case....

• The SetDefaultPosition command is very touchy, it cannot be in any part of an If--Then statement or in a Select Case statement and it must always be used with the Call command. For a player to access the default location it must be set before the JoinGame Sub is reached however it can be used inside the JoinGame Sub to alter the location of the next players default position. This is about as close as we can come to Class dependant starting positions with this current version of software

• On the Set player commands you can also use +X or -X but there is a trick to it
