Title: Strategus map needs updating - any volunteers?
Post by: chadz on July 19, 2011, 07:02:24 am
Most important: village maps

they need more spawn points set, I'd say at least 10 per village.

Spawn points work with the entry system.
Right now it looks like this:
0:   Attacker
1-9:Reserved for attacker, but currently not used
32: Defender spawn (in village)
10-63: defender spawn (castles, towns)
66->65->64->32 checks in this order if one of the points exists and spawns the construction material storage for the defenders there. the storage for attackers is always one meter behind 0.

So what needs to be done with villages:
a) Set points for attackers (at least 3 - we're not yet sure if they are going to be used, but when they are, we got em ready and just have to enable them)
and b) set more spawns for defenders, at least 10, use 10-63 (like in castles and towns)
if there are entry points that are there set wrongly it will still make you spawn there, so it's important to delete unnecessary spawn points. 0 and 32 are still important for crpg battle gamemode. 

Anyone up for doing all/half/some?

Edit: while we are at it, we could possibly use a dedicated strategus map fixer to join the dev team. Needs basic knowledge of the map editor and a lot of free time and strong nerves :)

edit 2:
so this is what you need to do:
1) pick a number of maps and announce you're working on them. don't be greedy :)
2) open it in the map editor
3) put attacker spawns. start from 0 and place further attacker spawns nearby, with increasing number while going outwards (see screen). 9 is the upper limit.
4) put defender spawns. start from 10 and go upward, 63 is the upper limit. make sure that they are not too close to huts and other obstacles, that will just be annoying later.
5) make 100% sure that no spawns are outside the map borders.
6) while you are at it, check for other things to fix :)

i'd help with the spawn point prob.

/edit:

i'd also apply for the strat map fixer job  :wink: . i'm using the editor for some time now and already helped to fix a siegemap for mylet. (wasn't much to do, but nevertheless :) )
lang: eng and ger.

I can help with some of maps. Already fixed some maps, though they were not added to crpg servers  :rolleyes:
Title: Re: Strategus map needs updating - any volunteers?
Post by: Camaris on July 19, 2011, 05:06:12 pm
If someone gives the name of the villages (up to 10) i should change  i would do it.
Title: Re: Strategus map needs updating - any volunteers?
Post by: Warcat on July 19, 2011, 05:19:27 pm
I can help, just let me know what to do. I've done a few maps on the old Custom Settlements mod and some other scene work. As far as I'm concerned, fixing up villages and cities or any other scene work is enjoyable. What takes a lot of patience and strong nerves is doing AI mesh, so please don't add captain mode into Strategus and I'll be happy to help.

edit: this screen is just a VERY rough how-to sheet. You will probably be able to do it better when you see it in person. Also, it's up to you how many defender places to set, but make it at least 10. If you find enough useful places, you can also go up to 60 (I doubt that, though :P)

If you're looking for official scene editors for the dev team, my vote is for Voodoox all the way. He's extremely competent with these crappy map editing tools and creative.

I would offer my help too - i havent edited/created a map before but i i think maps are edited when i learned how to do it right.
Title: Re: Strategus map needs updating - any volunteers?
Post by: Voodoox on July 20, 2011, 06:45:48 am
for those doing this the fastest way is

1.delete extra spawns except 0 and 32
2. double click 32 and add a new point right near it on flat surface in the openish and renumber it 65 press ctrl e to save then again  (this will bounce you back to 0 )
3. place to 9
4. double click 32 and then place to 17 in town
5. ctrl e to save
6. esc exit done

whole process takes a bout 1.5-2 minutes when your on a roll :)

well never mind, don't want to stop you in your hurry. keep on going! after all i'm really looking forward to these changes.

after all, you seem to use a way that's much faster then mine, so i'll leave this to you. good work!

Those are maily just an issue with cities, (and some castles), villages are mostly ready to go except spawns.

And what happens if he quit playing crpg? :-)
A 2nd and 3rd man would be safer, off course.

But it looks so much cooler when he posted them separately and it showed the speed at which he was doing them.

Thumbs down to Tears' reply :)
