![]() ![]() Ok, now that you have all the building that make up a town, you relize that you need a shop to sell some of those priceless atifacts you most dearly need to go out and slay some of those mosters that we are going to add later. Ok now click on the picture of what looks like a Barn or a house, or Shift-S Now place what ever building you need to place except anything that Multiplayer these are special building and require a little more effort for them to work properly. And you saying what i need right now is a town well this is what this section is for. So now you have some trees bushes and other assorted objects placed around the what used to be a green background, and it is starting to look somewhat like a map. Then when you have what you are looking for we will more onto the next part. Now we will want to add some landscape, some hills and other goodie so go and click on picture of the Tree or press Shift-O. Now go across to where it says Color and change it from 1 to 2 and now Click on OK. Now change it to Enemy now click on New Player 1 below Self. Go to the Players button, now click on the Add player button and then go up and highlight New Player 1. Ok now comes the diffcult part if your a beginner. It will change difficulty depending on what types on mosters we add.) At the moment it is 1 because we haven't added any monsters in. Level) box is what tells you what the current difficulty of the map is. Players box and add a number lets say 5 players as the recommended amount for this map. Goto Settings (up the top) then go down to Global Descriptions and Settings Now give the map a name and Author (being yourself ofcourse). Now what we have is a nice green background it may seem, We might now want to get the basics Done. We will just stick to the Defualt setting at the start, so just click OK. Ok, Im not good at teaching people thing and im worse when it comes to explaining how things work, I only hope that by writting this down that you have a better understanding of how to do something then you did without this Tutorial, Anyhow lets get started with the Basics. Neutrals will change to enemy as soon as they are attacked.Ĭlick on Your designed starting location on the map. For example: Player1 can be allied with Player2 even if Player2 takes Player1 for an enemy! This works very fine for enemy and allied. Make sure Your diplomacy works correct - a diplomacy state must be established in both directions. Pools give back health or mana points if You drink from them. Be careful not to choose the church from the structures menu but the saving place - they've the same picture but different meanings. Placing more than one inn is necessary to create quests as delivering a message or escort someone.Ĭhurches are saving places. When creating monsters You've the option to mark one or a whole group for an inn quest. It doesn't matter which kind of inn You place (Plagat, Druid or Kaarg) as long as You use multiplayer inn. It doesn't matter which kind of shop You place (Plagat, Druid or Kaarg) as long as You use multiplayer shop.ĭon't forget to define the inn's properties BEFORE You place it. There are just four special structures - all other are just for make Your map looking nicer.ĭon't forget to define the shop's properties BEFORE You place it. Don't forget to look after groups and players. ![]() The spells in ROM2 have different internal numbers to ROM1, so otherwise the map will crash the game. You've to edit it with the ROM2 map editor. Your map won't work till You've set the recommended player number to two at least! Use a version number in the map name! If You make changes after You've released Your map other players will not be able to join Your game.ĭon't forget the map description - at least the recommended level and number of players are important. Name Your map! Some people do forget about this. See that any area is accessible - warriors cannot teleport. Place shops and churches (saving points). ![]() It's said that too much details may cause much lag - avoid this if possible. In the beginning try to create small maps.ĭon't place too much monsters - the players will need a chill-out place. The level editor can open and save any file in any directory but to play a map it must be placed in Your RoM directory and named with an ".ALM" suffix. To learn something about the scripting see the level extractor at the tools page - You will be able to look in the scripts of single player missions. The place-bag-option included in the editor doesn't work. Install the map editor from Your ROM2 CD.Īs far as I know it's not possible to place bags on the map - it's done randomly by the game. ![]()
