Vagrant0 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 How can i make a map for a custom worldspace?If anyone can tell me it would be very helpful.In the worldspaces tab, below where you name the worldspace and set its water. Select your .dds image within the Textures/Menus/Maps/Worldmaps folder. Make sure the folders in your data folder start with a capitol letter and not a lower case one as this can prevent the map from getting linked properly. As for actually making the map, that is a rather complicated question, and may depend on how large your worldspace is. No matter what, you will need a reasonably good graphics program capable of handling very large textures. Although the map itself may only be 2048x2048 you may need to work on it at a larger size depending on how you intend to get all the land information right. Additionally, the game tends to not show the whole graphic, in that a portion of the bottom and right side may be cut off in game. This is the other reason why you need to be able to work with large files (on multiple layers) so that you can properly scale the image so that what is shown actually relates to anything in the worldspace. Additionally rying to line up features between the map and the world gets progressivly harder the smaller the worldspace. I have yet to find a good method for creating world maps so alot of that may be something you'll have to figure out on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
