Maps are all located in the arcadia/toys/toy7/maps/ directory.
For me this is:
c:\arcadia/toys/toy7/maps/
The first think you map notice is that map files are in .ini
format. This is important to know because maps will not be recognized unless
saved as a .ini file. for example : map0.ini.
Now, open the editor.
At the top you will see a few options to select:
-
Sectors - Draw lines in intervals of 1 sector. (1 grid)
-
0.5 Sectors - Draw lines in 1/2 sector long intervals.
-
0.2 - You can fit 5 lines in a sector.
-
0.1 - You can fit 10 lines in a sector
Also you will see:
- Clear All - Clear everything you have done and start fresh.
- Refresh - I think this is just to make sure your seeing what you think
your seeing...get it?
- Open Code - This is what you do when you are done. It will display all
of the code that your drawing has produced. You want to click, and highlight
it all, then right click and select copy. THEN open a text file, paste it
into there, and save it as a <mapname>.ini. Thats it! You can also
check on the code occasionally and close the code afterwards. Make sure
you save it in the correct maps directory!!!
To delete lines:
Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through and select verticle lines.
Use the left/right arrow keys to scroll through and select horizontal lines.
Then just press delete when the line you wish to delete is in blue.
Thats it!!!
I will be updating this page later, and include screen shots and stuff like
that to help more...but this should suffice for now...
