[Tutorial] Creating your first map
Re: [Tutorial] Creating your first map
Really nice tutorial, maybe you should add it to the wiki. Keep it up!
Re: [Tutorial] Creating your first map
Can I ask a question? When you edit a map, where is it stored, because I look in the Overgrowth installation folder and all the maps are the basic maps that come with the game with no edits, so I was wondering where your custom maps are stored?
EDIT: nevermind, found out it was deep in the 'VirtualStore' folder in appdata. Seems like a kinda stupid place to put them.

Re: [Tutorial] Creating your first map
We're looking into why it does that... it seems to only happen when you launch from SUMLauncher... but it is something we've been discussing with David...zzwerty wrote:Can I ask a question?

Re: [Tutorial] Creating your first map
Is there any way to manipulate the AO and Shadow Maps generated by the editor? I've been looking around the data folder, but can't seem to find them...
Re: [Tutorial] Creating your first map
You can edit but it is really difficult to edit them. (I think you have to look them to understand why).
You can find only them when you calculate shadows and after that save level.
You have to look into \Users\yourusernamegoeshere\Documents\Wolfire\Overgrowth\Data\Textures\ShadowMaps folder.

Re: [Tutorial] Creating your first map
Fantastic tutorial, it helped me a lot!
One problem though, whenever I start up my level it tells me "Texture file "C:/Users/Alex/Documents/Wolfire/Overgrowth/Data/Textures/skies/blue4.tga_my_level_cubes.dds" not found. Default texture loaded instead." followed by two similar messages. The level just loads just fine except for the fact that the sky is a really deep unnatural blue with no clouds or anything. Anyone know a solution to that?

Re: [Tutorial] Creating your first map
You are missing the skyboxes. If you install the menu mod, it will install them for you, or you can grab them manually here: http://ogmods.antonriehl.com/downloads. ... yboxes.zipAlexPH wrote:Fantastic tutorial, it helped me a lot!

Re: [Tutorial] Creating your first map
What do I do if I DIDN'T make a copy of the level and started editing. What do I do to change it back to it's original state?!!

Re: [Tutorial] Creating your first map
You reinstall the game or ask someone to upload the default .xml to the forum. In the future, there might be a possibility to revert to the default .xml's via the SUM-launcher but it currently isn't.WolvesAreOverPowered wrote:What do I do if I DIDN'T make a copy of the level and started editing.

Re: [Tutorial] Creating your first map
My Project 60 folder contains nothing , any help would be greatly appreciated
Re: [Tutorial] Creating your first map
Nevermind, I was looking in the wrong folder, I found the xmls.
Re: [Tutorial] Creating your first map
at the part where i'm supposed to put the {
label:'My first map',
src:'images/my_map.png',
level:'my_map.xml',
}, it doesnt work, it takes all the mods and the default maps off of overgrowth and it doesnt let me click on anything, i'm not sure if im putting it in the wrong spot or not.

Re: [Tutorial] Creating your first map
If you use any characters in that list that also double as code, it will not be able to render the area properly. Try to avoid any punctuation and spaces in file names, apostrophes are a definitely issue. Even spaces can make things work poorly, so try to use underscores instead.Scrumpeh wrote:at the part where i'm supposed to put the {
