.SH DESIGNING MAPS |
| 25 |
If you start crossfire with the -e <map-level> option, you will enter |
| 26 |
the editor and be allowed to change a map. If the level you specified |
| 27 |
doesn't exist, you will start creating a new (remember to specify the |
| 28 |
name of the level before clicking on the save button). |
| 29 |
.PP |
| 30 |
To change a map, select items from the list of archetypes by moving the |
| 31 |
scrollbar with the left and right mouse-button, and then clicking on any |
| 32 |
item. You can also click on any of the backgrounds displayed above |
| 33 |
the list of archetypes. After you have selected something, you can |
| 34 |
put it into the map by pressing the left mousebutton. To put something |
| 35 |
on top of another thing, use the right mouse button. |
| 36 |
To remove all items on one spot, first choose the background which is |
| 37 |
empty (the last one) and then click the left button somewhere on |
| 38 |
the map. If you use the right instead, only the top item will be |
| 39 |
deleted. |
| 40 |
You can do any of these things repeatedly by holding down the button in |
| 41 |
question and move the mouse around. |
| 42 |
To scroll the map-window, use the cursor keys or press the middle button |
| 43 |
on the mouse while pointing on the scrollbars. |
| 44 |
.PP |
| 45 |
To save a map, click on the save button. Check that you have specified |
| 46 |
the map-name before doing this (in case you started editing on a new map). |
| 47 |
To load another map, just click in the "Level:" button and type in a new |
| 48 |
level (followed by return) and then click on the load button. |
| 49 |
The width and height of a map can be changed by clicking on the respective |
| 50 |
button and typing in a new number (followed by return). The position that |
| 51 |
the players enters the map on can be changed by clicking on either of the |
| 52 |
"start" buttons and then clicking someplace on the map. |
| 53 |
.PP |
| 54 |
To change where an exit-object leads, click on it (after having placed it |
| 55 |
on the map) with the middle mouse button. Then change "Level:", "X:" and "Y:" |
| 56 |
by clicking and typing. If it's level is 0, it automatically leads to |
| 57 |
the next level. If X and Y is 0, the players will start in the default |
| 58 |
start positions on the next level. |
| 59 |
Some other items can also be edited in the same fashion, like gates, buttons, |
| 60 |
handles, holes, teleporters, etc. |
