<b>Note:</b> Make sure when you start a map, to use the <i>/newmap</i> command, rather than editing an existing map, otherwise your map may get saved
|
||||
a bit strangely. Also note: you cannot put spaces or any illegal characters in the name you save it as.

To load your map, type /map and the file name you chose for your map. If you have not placed lighting in your map yet, your map will turn up dark.
|
||||
To temporarily fix this problem, type: <i>/fullbright 1</i> - this will fill your whole map with light. The fullbright command only works in edit
|
||||
mode and is not a permanent fix. To remove fullbright mode, reload the map, or type: <i>/recalc</i>.
|
||||
Note: These commands can be found in the lighting menu (press <b>L</b>).

|

Note: Fullbright can be turned on/off in the lighting menu (press <b>L</b>).

<h2>Manipulating geometry</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The ceiling and floor of AssaultCube are made up of individual cubes, which can be made into various objects that you choose, such as walls,
|
||||
by simply manipulating the geometry.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are five different ways to manipulate geometry:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Make cubes "solid".
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Make cubes "space".
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Move cubes in the floor.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Move cubes in the ceiling.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Manipulate cubes by using heightfields (a bit more complex, so this is covered later).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>Solids and spaces</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The reason we are covering solids and spaces, before moving cubes, is because solids block visibility and do not need to be rendered, so they
|
||||
are more efficient to use in maps. The use of solids in a map is <u>essential</u> to creating a good map. Without solids AssaultCube maps would
|
||||
lag too much for the average user and would be unplayable, so make sure you use enough. Solids are also easy to create and can be used to make
|
||||
wall with a single keystroke!
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
To make a cube into a solid wall, press <b>F</b>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
To make a solid wall turn back into space, select it and press <b>G</b>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3>Moving cubes</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Moving cubes is simple and can be done, either with your mouse or keyboard...
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Using your mouse
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Using your scroll wheel, move it backward/forward to lower/raise cubes.
|
||||
Be sure to look in the direction of the cubes you want to move to raise/lower those cubes.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Using your keyboard
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To move cubes in the floor, press <b>[</b> to raise them and <b>]</b> to lower them.<br />
|
||||
To move cubes in the ceiling, press <b>P</b> to raise them and <b>O</b> to lower them.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Textures</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are four different parts of the cube world that you can change textures on...
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The floor
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The ceiling
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The wall
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The upper-wall (the portion of wall coming down from the ceiling)
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
There is 1 key allocated to move forwards through the textures for each of these and one key to move backwards. When selecting textures,
|
||||
the AssaultCube engine automatically puts the last chosen texture at the start of the list, so commonly used textures become easier to find.
|
||||
<br />A table of the keys used to change textures can be found below.
