Red Dots on World Map

[NinjaRabbits]

Long story short : I don't get it!!!!!

Gonna hafta be a little more specific.

well maybe this would be a good way of explaining it, go to Lugaru:Data:Campaigns:Main.
in main you should see something like
Level 1:
Name: svenroad
Description: Giant_Ruins_-_start_new_campaign!
ChooseNext: 0
NumNext: 1
NextLevel: 2
LocationX: 197
LocationY: 370

LocationX and LocationY are the locations on the map texture found in Lugaru:Data:Textures:World.png
The locations are measured in pixels with 1,1 being in the upper corner of the map. the first one is locationx, the second, location y. use an image editing program, (gimp, photoshop etc.) to open it in gimp the locations are read at the bottom left of the window. therefore if I wanted to have a red dot up at the upper left of the screen, I would type;
LocationX: 1
LocationY: 1
and that would be the location of the first level.

I thank you.

Edit: What about when it comes to the Mac?

[Lotus Wolf]

same deal
open the world texture with a basic image program and find the coordinates.

[NinjaRabbits]

Well mi Mac don't like workin' that wey.......


Edit: And another thing: how do you have it so one level goes on to the next?

Level 1:

ChooseNext: 0
NumNext: 1
NextLevel: 2
LocationX: 197
LocationY: 370

ok so this would be the first level meaning that when you start the game it'd be what's showing up on the map. choosenext is what determines whether it loads the next level with a loading screen, without, or goes to the map for you to select it. I believe it goes like this
0=loads without loading screen
1=loads with loading screen
2=loads map screen
numnext is how many levels are next, this should always be 1 as everything else is broken.
next level is the number of the next level, which in this case is level 2 which would appear next in the campaign file.

[NinjaRabbits]

ok..... That helps to a point........ I'll check it then get back to you!

0 = Immediately load next level at the end of this one.
1 = Go back to the world map.
2 = Don't bring up the Fiery loading screen. Maybe other things, I've not investigated.
I messed up.

2 = Don't bring up the Fiery loading screen. Maybe other things, I've not investigated.

I've investigated, it loads the next level immediately, AND starts the player at the exact place the last level ended.

[NinjaRabbits]

I'll bear that in mind.
