Title: Lady-Succubus's Modding Evolution
Post by: Lady-Succubus on May 22, 2010, 08:50:30 am

I've actually decided to try making a mod, despite my stupidity! =^.^=

Get ready to be barraged with lots and lots of stupid questions. :3

...

Let's start with the first!

Is it possible to make a node script that takes parameters like current, warp, or warppoint does?

No, but you can extract information from a nearby SETING or SETENT node. Look at the init() function in singbulb.lua for an example.

Thanks ^.^

Next question time!

What are the different sizes of maptemplates I could have? I couldn't find anything about it. :(

looks like any size from my tests. I haven't tried my screen res or bigger though.

Yes, any size seems to work, this is pretty cool.

I was under the impression it had to be defined sizes. :/

I have a map that is 650*512 that is doing perfectly fine, but if you want to be sure, use the powers of 2 :

256, 512, 1024, 2048

So would it explode if I made it 257?

Why would you need 257 instead of 256 ? :P

It was a hypothetical.
