Sure

I can only give you guys the executable to this program.
I dont really know if I want the source out there.

Other then that, Its not the easiest thing to use. I never
thought anyone else would be using it.

How to use this program:

If you want to write a map, just pick a backround.
You can use my water mapper with this program so that
the backround is a animation.

Then you need to add a StartUp object from the tools menu.
This object is where the camera is going to be centered on
when the game starts (I havent gotten around to implement
this yet)

After you make that object a dialog will come up with the
information about this object. You can name the castle
here, and add troops.

Note:
You MUST name all object. My map format does not support empty strings!!!

Next You must add a 'Place (event)' These are also castles
but they dont grab focus.

Next you can add paths between the castles. These are line
objects in this program.

Heres a screenshot of the program with my map in it.

http://home.att.net/~eduffield/map.jpg

Please note that the name of the default map file is

(root)/maps/1.map

So if you want to run your map in my game, just rename
the old map to something else, and name the new one
to that name.

If you have any errors with the program (Which is possible
I havent tested it to much) just tell me what you did , and
I will fix it and reupload it.

If you download the water mapper. Its in that zip file. Then just run the water mapper, and then use all of the images made by that app.

About File-New Map

Theres really no code in there. Its gonna just clear all
the variables and then clear the screen so that you have
a fresh start.

Or you can actually make and load your own map into my
game. It will show exactly what you made to. As long as
you have named all the objects. It should work.

Never tried another map though, so Im not absolutely sure...

wait nevermind that only worked 1 time :(
Dec 10th, 2001, 04:20 PM

The error is its trying to find something that doesnt exist.
My program doesnt support empty strings. So when it loads
the file, it loses track and then one of the Instr's falls to Zero,
then you try to return a string... and you cant parse nothing...

Ill see if I can make the game support that when i get home,
shouldnt be to bad.
Dec 10th, 2001, 04:21 PM
Evan

Also,

You must put the startup object on the map FIRST. I dont know why yet. Then you have to name it, Make sure you do that.

When I release the next version its going to be the same size.
The difference will be, you will be able to attack and battle with the others. They will randomly attack you to.

The point is to completely take over there castles. You can also take the captive, and sometimes even perswade them to join your size. If not you can always kill them. =)

the battles are going to be laid out on a large close up terrain. Im thinking its going to be flat. No objects that you can get on or anything. Its going to be grided, and you will be able to move a current ammount of spaces per turn. Then you will have all kinds of attacks. Weapons will hace special powers, and things like this.

But for now.. .simplicity is good. =)
