My First Map
On Sunday I created a map... Midknight told me to learn how to make maps, so I asked CheeSe to teach me and I made one within half and hour: my first map which I named Tetfoursquare. It is small, and consists of 4 small room, each with a spawn point (or whatever you call it), and a Viking short Sword as well as a Dark Sheild. Me, my cousin, and my brother and some loser who was threatening us by changing maps and lagging up the server for the admin pass. We had fun, the games were quick becuaseit is a small map. I deecided to let Midknight and any other LCC member check it out! Big Grin

P.S.~ Don't tell me it sucks, I know it does...

P.S.~ I just can't stop making maps... Hopefully my newest one will be done tommorrow, I just finished working on it for 3 hours with small breaks. Thumbs Up

The Done version of Four Square, except for some stuff... I may add them on later.

Okay, I have a quisetio before I head off to school... Thumbs Down In the low Cal arena, wheere you pick up your weapons, you can't kill people there... CheeSe put some blue 'squares' in my map, and I can't harm anyone... But I also can't kill in my arena. I have 3 holes dropping in to the arena, and I want to make those hallways to the doors so you can't kill, but as soon as you drop into the arena, you CAN kill... Can anybody help? Confused

easy enough use zone info actors to declare those halls and area as safe zones aka neutral zones. make sure you add a special brush called a zone portal eithier a sheet closing off the area u want as a safe zone or a b russh that encompassed the the area. hope that helps

Got it, thanks! Thumbs Up Big Grin

Anyways, I just need to figure out how to insert a screen shot in my map, and then I will release it! (I already have a screen shot, I just need to know how to use it) Ok, going to check out the tutorials, the map should be done today... Big Grin

first off make you texture 256 x 256 pixels and save as a bmp file. next in runeed go to textures and import yuor texture. uncheck createmipmaps and check import as bmp file. the name field is the name your giving that texture. For the screen shot it should be named screenshot. Also the package should be MyLevel, will be included into your map. That way no one has to download a seperate texture package to run your map.

then go to the top click on Options>Level Properties>Level Info>screeshot

highlight your texture and click use while your at it fill in the rest of the info. Set your game type as multiplayer thats under Classes>Info>Gameinfo>Runegameinfo>runemultiplayer

that should do it with out a problem let me know luck
