I haft been hiding maps from all of you! XD

Like the title says this thread will be used to show 2 of my current WIPs in which the public or at least the majority of the public has yet to see. I have only a few pics and their minimaps so far to show you all. And here they are

Map1:
Name: Undecided on map name as of now...
Players: ....this ones a 2 player...
Theatre: Temperate mostly grassy with only small areas of sand (with a decent urban enviroment)
Requires FS: No
Trigger: not very extensive

Pics:



lighting on this map will be very similar to lighting on Alcedonia Terra
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Map2:
Name: Lake Isteln
Players: 4
Theatre: Temperate lake side with some urban and mostly green
Requires FS: No
Triggers: Not completely decided though there will be 1-3 trains and a few other things

Pics:



I have yet to add lighting to this map if you could'nt tell....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am also currently messing around with this other thing i found out about and it may or may not be used in these maps...it all depends..........

(*note* these have been shown before when showing off my fugly voxel so its the map parts that is important not the fugly voxel*)

Tutorial By: dEw_MaN

There is a long standing error in Final Sun editor with tunnels. Read on to find out how to fix that annoying error.

First: apply your tubes one set of three tube applied only not two sets.
This means you trace the tunnel tubes one time for each connection. This will make a total of three connections between to tunnels.

Second: open your map in notepad. Find the tube section. Turn off word wrap so the section look some thing like this.

[Tubes]
0=79,100,0,79,83,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,-1,-1,-1,-1=79,83,4,79,100,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,-1,-1,- 2=80,100,0,80,83,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,-1,-1,-1,- 3=80,83,4,80,100,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,-1,-1,- 4=81,100,0,81,83,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,-1,-1,-1,- 5=81,83,4,81,100,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,-1,-1,-

NOTE: I removed the (-1) so this can fit the page. So do not remove all of the (-1) or you may have problems.

In this sample if you look at the first two strings like this. This makes one tube. Each string is a one-way passage throw the tunnels. One for one direction and one for the return direction.

0=79,100,0,79,83,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,-1,-1,-1,-1=79,83,4,79,100,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,-1,-1,-

Now we will look at the part that is giving you the problem

0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,-1,-1,-1,-
4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,-1,-1,-

This part is it. If you cont the (0) then cont the (4) you will see that the (0) are sort by one (0). To correct this change the next (-1) to a (0) (or the number in your strange) final sun all ways make this mistake.

What you are looking at represents the direction numbers (represents by the numbers themselves) and the number of tile movements (represents by how many numbers shown in the string.) this part of the strings should look some thing like this after you fix it. You can see that the amount of numbers match.

0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,-1,-1,-
4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,-1,-1,-

Then you will need to repeat this for the next two sets of tubes.

NOTE: Do not use these string as a replacement, these are just samples. Do not cut the strings apart like this. This was only to make it easier to see the problem.
