Mapping issues

[Amon-Chakay]

the mnimap i mean the map that appears when you are playing

and the other, i mean the map that appears in the top corner when you are looking what map to play

Hey hey... you are building up a new Posting Place and you don't tell your favorite pet.... i'm a sad furreto....

lol, i just wanted to have a suscription on that thread... i i needed to post.. here it is !! later

[Amon-Chakay]

well i tried to make both images, but i don't know why, they don't appear

look here it is one of them, the one suposed to appear in the map selection menu, the other one (ingame minimap) i still have to do it

it's in .tga (targa) format, but to post here i saved as .jpg, also is in the right size for the game, because i opened the original and pasted this one on it (i made a copy before pasting it of the original one^^)



according to the tutorials it have to be named:

MAPNAME_icon --> for me XST_icon (it's this one)

MAPNAME_mm --> for me XST_mm (the minimap)

and do you have them as 24 bit tga's?
Further, recommend you make a one pixel black line on the edges.
It will otherwise look ugly later.
Further what size is your map.

remember
128x512
256x1024
do not really work

[Amon-Chakay]

i think that they are 24bits tga, if not i'll change it
also i'll put the black line on th edges thanks

and my map is, if i remember well 512x1024 8 players

really thanks for your help

[Amon-Chakay]

I've made that map, and it's already posted on dowfiles, and rated with an 8 ^^

Now i'm kaing another map based also in the same book of the previous one, it's in a labirynth where all the leaders of the 7 raçes of XS have lost and there are some orks too

I need to know if i can make appear a chaos lord, or a sm commander, if the player choses it

What i mean is, if i'm player 1 and i chose chaos, then when the game starts, the command unit is a chaos lord, but if i chose tau, the command unit is a tau commander

Is this possible?
If yes, how can it be done?

[Junk angel]

it has to be scar scripted

Try pm'ing incarnate or starting a thread on the relic forums.
Better to start your own thread.
Since all the scar experts are there.
I am only beginning to build my knowldege. :~
