<h1>Map editing</h1>
|
|
<h2>Introduction...</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To begin map editing, while in AssaultCube, press the letter <b>E</b> which toggles editmode. AssaultCubes map editor is built into the client,
|
|
so its easy to learn and you don't need to download any special tools to get started. In editmode, you can fly around in any direction you
|
|
like and you can even go through walls. This is to make map-editing easier.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In editmode, you will see a grid being drawn where ever you point. Each of these small squares is a single cube. The cubes in
|
|
AssaultCube are known as "geometery". The blue lines indicate a selection of 8x8 cubes. You will also see some blue sparkly things.
|
|
These sparkly things are known as "entities" (which will be explained later). Click and drag the small white box at your crosshair over
|
|
some cubes (you will see a red box over what you are selecting). This is how you select geometery.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you would like to start creating a new map, type: <i>/newmap</i> and then the size you would like (7 is the sensible default) and
|
|
then press enter. You can save your map at any time by typing: <i>/savemap</i> and then the name you would like it saved as. The map gets
|
|
saved in the <i>packages/maps</i> directory. Save your map often, to avoid the frustration of losing all of your work if something goes wrong.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Below are the controls that get used in map-editing...

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, type: <i>/recalc</i>.
|
|
Note: These commands can be found in the lighting menu (press <b>L</b>).
