Also, is there and easy way to line them up, so they loop?

Also, how do you make transfers between maps? (if possible?)
And, how can you drop nodes? When I'm in Node Edit Mode, I press the spacebar, and nothing happens.

Post by: Kasofa on December 04, 2009, 04:36:12 am: Sorry to double post. I can't get the node 'sleep' to work. I put the file node_sleep.lau in my scripts file, and when I drop a node, name it 'sleep' nothing happens. No glowy-mouse-effect, right clicking does nothing. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Post by: TheBear on December 04, 2009, 06:25:35 am: You need to save and reload your level so the node can look for and load the appropriate script file (this is only done when the level is initially built).

Post by: TheBear on December 05, 2009, 06:12:04 pm: Oh and for loading between maps make a node named something like the following:
Quote
warpnode mithalas01 exit r
First parameter is which map... second is node to start at... third is what direction Naija should be facing (l or r). So you basically just place a named node next to wherever your calling a warp for the other node to warp to. I use a "topright" "topmiddle" "topleft" style naming convention for those nodes. You can also use "warplocalnode house" to warp to a node within a map.

Post by: Kasofa on December 05, 2009, 08:16:40 pm: Ok, so now these tiles aren't showing up when I put them in my tilesets.txt
Code: [Select]
59 bg-rock-0026 60 bg-rock-0020 61 bg-rock-0015 62 bg-rock-0010 63 bg-rock-0009 64 bg-rock-0008 65 bg-rock-0001 66 bg-rock-rep-0002 67 bg-rock-rep-0001 68 bg-rock-rep-0003 69 bg-rock-rep-0004 70 grass-tile-0002 71 grass-bed-0001 72 grass-bed-0002 73 grass-rock-0001 74 grass-tile-0001
I'm not really sure why. Sorry to bother you guys again.
Thanks TheBear!

Post by: TheBear on December 07, 2009, 05:17:08 am: List of tiles looks fine. Make sure that your tilesets.txt file is the one being used in the map.xml file.
Title: Re: How to scale tiles?
Post by: Kasofa on December 07, 2009, 06:35:43 am: I'm not entirely sure how to make sure that it's for the right file, but I'm pretty sure it is. I added the anemones without trouble.

Title: Re: How to scale tiles?
Post by: Hiro on December 07, 2009, 07:45:11 am: Could be that the anemones are in the one it uses by default or something. Open up the map's xml file and have a look along the top line for the file name you're looking for.
Title: Re: How to scale tiles?
Post by: Kasofa on December 07, 2009, 08:37:18 pm: I meant that I added the anemones to the file, and they appear in the tile-edit cursor when I scroll with 'e' and 'r'.
I added the anemones to the main.txt file, my map file says ' tileset="Main" '.

EDIT: My tilesets file is called main.txt. Sorry for not clarifying.
Title: Re: How to scale tiles?
Post by: Alphasoldier on December 07, 2009, 11:25:56 pm: Well, if your map file says tileset="Main", then it'll load that text file, if you change it to your "tilesets", they should work normally.
