FlaME -- The Warzone 2100 Map Editor

Is this Cyps circle above about my asking for old round circle?

I havealso noticed that after using copy paste device when I want to for example paint terrain when I press it and try to paint I still have copy paste so I click on the first tab and then again on painting to be able to paint.. Do I do something wrong? If it is intended to click copy paste again then I would like it to be able to use any tool without clicking it again..

And please don't forget the earlier questions too

Greetings

...

Yes, showing that the straight edges come from discretising the circle. (Apparently, the radius of the circle in your screenshot was a very tiny bit under 10, or 8 more points would have been included.)

Merowingg, I agree drawing lines could be useful. If they are for reference only you could create areas by clicking the "create area from selection" button.
I don't understand your last question about copy and paste.

Mysteryem, I didn't know about that in 3.1. FlaME is the same as 2.3 right now. I'll see what I can do.

Cyp, your picture was a little inaccurate
It seems like the radius is exactly 9. I probably added on 0.5 because otherwise it would capture 0 vertices when set to 0.25 radius (It cant go lower than 0.25 radius otherwise the center aligns with the vertices).

D'oh, yes, it's 9. Thought it was 10, since there were exactly 6 dots on the top/bottom/left/right, but radius 9 is the same in that aspect...

Flail13: could you debug this?

[Merowingg]

Yh once again where is this create are button ??..

And when I came across the situation mentioned befor I will explain in details then

[Flail13]

create area is the first button in the script markers tab.

[crass]

we need bigger map support it is too small for 10 players!

I remember on flame 1.02 I think I tried to make map 1000x1000 Resised and.. FlaMe crashed spectacularly I even remember guys showing off that they have made 254x254 maps so brave But indeed if it could reach 300x300 then it would be good I think

Speaking about my problem mentioned before which was not understood.. somehow it did not occur to me so far so I cannot give detailed description..

Also.. is that possible to paint (place) walls using brusch? It would be nice to have such tool (if it does not exist and I do noot know about it again) And if it would make corners and joints authomatically

[Mysteryem]

The map size limit is hardcoded into the game at the moment (at a maximum of 256x256), flaME just gives you a warning.

Mero, you can essentially 'paint' walls if you tick the "automatic walls" button before placing walls in your map, then, simply place any of the '-', '+', 'T' or 'L' types of wall and they will automatically attach themselves to other walls. They won't attach to hardcrete defenses however, you'll still have to do that manually.

My own experiments with the source code garnered some interesting results using 1000x1000 maps.

It's easy to increase the map size to even 2048x2048 in the game. The problem comes from the path finding routines. What I had happen was once a unit got past tile 249 (in any direction), it couldn't "figure out" where to go from there, and if it didn't outright crash the game (hard lockup), the unit would just sit there and not be able to move *in any direction* from that point on.

So yes, it's possible. I couldn't get pathing to work past tile 249 -- and yes, I *did* try to make it work. Perhaps one of the developers who knows the path finding code better would be willing to take a look, allowing it to work on maps that large?

[NoQ]

Just a little advertisement. Guys, are you aware how easily you can use FlaME with custom tiles that are in the same format that can be packed into the map?

[Merowingg]

I didnt know aboyt that and do not remeber how it was to add those, and where we take them from?

And secondly

create area is the first button in the script markers tab.

It asks me to select something.. select what??.. again my failure.. how to use it step by step please..

I am afraid the time will come i will be so embarassed by asking here 99 999 times that i iwll remain silent and uncivilised with FlaMe.. forever

[Merowingg]

Ah I forgot..

How is it with artefacts.. you know me with my strange ideas so my question is..

How many I can put on a map? and do those work simply as in game I asume i collect it and.. I Have Tomato Throver technology yes? and those artefacts will be generated accidentally? it will not be always somehow one by one, cannon, bug, composite and so on?

Secondly I know scavs can have now 255 structures max (why is it so?) as all player do yes? but then how many factories it can have max? 5 yes ? as on my Mero City there is about 14 I redid the map recently and I left those 14 as they are in symmetric order so what ia am asking here is.. does it hurt anyone? or those will simply stand and 5 factories will built tha savage men? and if yes which ones?

Artefacts need a script, which defined what a Artefact should contain.
There happens nothing without a script.
