Custom Maps
Thu, 2011-01-13 06:29
I have a few questions about custom maps.
I can map them and get them to load in the game just fine, however no matter what i do i get a border.
How can I / is it possible to remove the boarder around the map? also in the instance that i want a border i cannot get the bottom border to work, even when selecting border in the options menu. is there no bottom border and i have to draw a line and be forced to use indestructible terrain?
Can other users play on my map? or do they also have to download the map first? if the latter, i think dev team should consider making the prior into the next release.
Bottom border will almost definitely be an option in the next release.
In terms of a map, you can simulate this by using mask.png (just draw the red line along the bottom in the mask to match the yellow/black you put into the map).
As for why a border is being drawn automatically, is a basic attempt to add border on maps with a filled top. More than a certain number of pixels at the top of the map trigger border. Is what ensures a border on maps like cave.
If you want to avoid this, just make sure your content doesn't extend all the way to the top of the png - leave a little empty space.

Hello, I'm new.
I have another question about custom maps - I can't find the answer already here:
Having drawn a new map, saved it and played it straight away, how can I find it again, next time I use the game?
It hasn't appeared in the list of available maps and choosing 'Hand-drawn maps' from the menu just gives the blank blue thumbnail.
Thanks
Oops. Just found it... The button on the map drawing page that says Load.
If I'd just looked once more before posting I wouldn't have looked so daft.
i cant find out how to make a map please help
Select hand-drawn map from list below the map's preview and then click the preview.
