Ok, I've been trying to make maps for the WPN server, but I dont get the -Put design here- part. In your servers, how do you make circle rims? I need help with that kind of stuff, any help would be great! Ty

use the following code (for word applications example wordpad xml files)

[wall]
[point x="(x coordinate)" y="(y coordinate)" /]
[point x="(x coordinate)" y="(y coordinate)" /]
[point x="(x coordinate)" y="(y coordinate)" /]
[point x="(x coordinate)" y="(y coordinate)" /]
[/wall]

if u want to make circles use the elipse maker at [url]generalconsumption.org/armagetron[/url]

have you looked at our wiki
http://wiki.crazy-tronners.com/index.php/Map_Making

and other ones
http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php/Making_Maps_by_Hand

i think this is the same as ours but
http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php/Making_Maps_for_Beginners

also if you want to look at the codes for some of our maps click the map name for it

I don't undestand why you have to put alot of X and Y coordinates, and also, I dont get the total dimensions; would [point x="(9" y="(37)"/] be very big? Small?

it depends on the size factor

most of our maps are about 500 by 500

100 by 100 for nano

I think the default arena is 400 by 400 right? Anyways use this basic format:

Kk, also where do I save it? It says I have to save it as an XML?

ok for ur first map go to ur armagetron system data.

then go to resource then included, and there are some folders here.

in the folders are some maps that people such as z-man have made. if u want to make a map then create a new folder with ur name (can be anything, i use person instead of syllabear for some weird reason) in the included folder.

it is a good idea to use the maps here as starting points. go inside one of the folders and pick a map. copy it (use copy because although these are text documents they are actually XML files).

in ur folder with ur name on it create another folder, for the type of maps u want to create. in Person folder i have fortress and race folders.

inside the subfolder u just created post the XML file.

open it with word pad or notepad (DONT USE WORD COS ITS GAY). wordpad is better but the best is dreamweaver 8. i use it at school it helps LIKE A BITCH!

Sorry for beeing so n00bish, but where would I find Armagetron System Data?

do u have windows? dont worry i am noob too we can rule the world someday

go to start programs armagetron and its there

now this is good for loading maps how too its beter than the map making

Yeah, I REALLY Don't understand the saving...could some break it down simply? Also, I have MAC OSX

ok im out for the count... im the windows guy

something like this is in your code


all the bolds come from the code
if that would be your line of code this would be your path

Armagetron Advanced.app/Contents/Resources/resource/included/author/fortress/name-0.0.0.aamap.xml

i can help him write the actual map code though

ok to make the document copy one of the other maps. then create a folder called crazy

inside create a folder called fortress

inside this paste the file

open the file and delete all of the stuff in it.

then copy this:

<xml>
<Resource>
<Map>
<Settings>
</Settings>
<World>
<Field>
<Axes>
<Spawn>
<Spawn>
<Wall>
<Point>
<Point>
<Point>
<Point>
<Point>
</Wall>
</Field>
</World>
</Map>
</Resource>
