[M]Seeking multiplayer map makers

[HULKSMASH]

I think I could make a few scenes for this.

Any maps you devs would especially want?

 

[insomniac]

modern buildings, u.s wooden houses

 

[HULKSMASH]

Elaborate.

 

[Highlander]

There is a build on the repository: http://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?id=2021
which you can use to make the scenes.

I think you could try whatever you want. A town, a plain open field, ruins or anything else. Just choose the theme you like and start it.

I hope to find a server when I enter the game.

 

[Highlander]

No, there's no server up currently. We played yesterday with 10-12 people. Was quite fun. The problem is, if we had a server running constantly, it would be empty all the time anyway. I'll probably choose a time and announce a game, so that everyone could join at the same time and we get a pretty big battle. Watch the board. I'll start a thread there.

 

[Lord Benrir]

That's actually a great idea! New servers will pop up at some point anyway.

EDIT: What faction is the Nazi confederates riding TRex?

 

[Highlander]

An evil one.

 

[HULKSMASH]

OK, i'll start scening straightaway.
I think I'll do an OK corrale scene first.

 

[The Bowman]

It's out !




Finally my fort will be done.

 

[HULKSMASH]

Good for you....

I would more than willingly assist with some MP maps... However, I do not have access to the module system and thus my preferred method of working with the quick scene chooser is out of hand. Would it be fine if I simply created the physical map and then you tweak the terrain_rings?

I'll upload a scene builder kit in a few minutes. It adds 5 empty scenes you can chose when you use deathmatch mode. You can edit those scenes.

Edit:
You can use the Scene Builder patch: http://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?id=2028
Copy it over your 1866 mod folder. In game you can select 'Deathmatch' and then edit one of the 5 empty scenes.

 

[Turanien]

Awesome. Thank you.

I shall try to make a map in a while, will be my first one though. Won't be the best map or best quality map.

 

[Lord Benrir]

Hmm. The game crashes when I turn edit mode on. I'll try reinstalling.

EDIT: Didn't work!

EDIT: Didn't work!

Control-F11 freezes the game.  This will prevent most crashes when editing the map.

 

[Lord Benrir]

No, you misunderstand. I can't turn edit mode on at all. When I do it crashes and turns it off again!

EDIT I: I have Steam by the way. Unwillingly that is!

EDIT II: Would it be possible to change the configurations through some text file? I personally doubt it, but I had to ask.

 

[yellowmosquito]

No, you misunderstand. I can't turn edit mode on at all. When I do it crashes and turns it off again!

EDIT: I have Steam by the way. Unwillingly that is!

You may already know this, but i will recap in case it helps:
Control-F11 should still pause your game. 
Make sure you are in windowed mode (Alt-Enter) before entering into edit mode (cntrl-E).

If you are getting crashes after using this information, try editing a scene in the same way while running the native module for Warband.

If you are still getting the crash, you may want to look into reinstalling your version of Warband, or investigate ways to fix this on the support forums.

Good luck,

ym

I didn't even know that I could turn edit mode on in-game... Thanks!

EDIT I: One last thing. I seem to have forgotten everything about scene editing, do you know where I can find a good tutorial? Sorry, pressed Alt+E instead of cntrl+E...

EDIT II: Shouldn't a menu pop up when I enter edit mode?

EDIT III: Oh, you seems to have misunderstood me twice. I meant that I can't turn edit mode on from the configuration menu before I enter the game. Guess I have to rebuy the game directly from Taleworlds...
