# CTF Map - Map maker
# CTF map-maker mod
## Creating a new map
## Making a new map
### Youtube tutorial
### Youtube Tutorial
https://youtu.be/orBsC9wViUw
### Dependencies
- Minetest 5.0.0 or later (https://minetest.net/)
- Minetest Game (https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/) (CTF supports most MTG nodes)
- `ctf_map` modpack (copy this folder to `minetest/mods`)
- `worldedit` modpack (WE) (https://content.minetest.net/packages/sfan5/worldedit/)
### 1. Dependencies
### Find an area
* Minetest 5.0.0 or later.
* `ctf_map` modpack (by copying the folder from this game to `minetest/mods`)
* `worldedit` and `worldedit_commands`.
- The area can be maximum 230x230 blocks in surface area, but it can be lesser.
- Modify the area to *your* unique ctf_map
- you could add
- buildings
- lakes
- hills
- etc.
- If you haven't modified the map at all, do the following to speed up barrier placement:
### 2. Find an area
- Stop Minetest.
- Open up the world's world.mt
- Set backend to "dummy".
- Save.
* Can use Minetest Game and any mapgen.
* It must be a cube, and the barrier will be in the exact center.
* It should be around 230x230 in surface area, but this can be lesser.
* Feel free to modify the area to your needs.
### The `gui`window
### 3. Select the area
![gui-window](./gui.png)
There are multiple ways do this, this is the simplest in most cases.
There are many ways of placing the barrier:
* If you haven't modified the map at all, do the following to speed up barrier placement:
* Stop Minetest.
* Open up the world's world.mt
* Set backend to "dummy".
* Save.
* Using worldedit, select the area.
* Type `/gui`, and click `Player pos` then `From WE` and then `To WE`.
* Check that the center location is the right place for the barrier to go.
* Check that the bounds extend far enough.
- Go to the center of the map and click on `Player Pos` and then on `To WE`
- set a radius and a height for the map
- **Or** select the area of the map via WE
- Go to one corner of the map and type `//pos 1` in the chat
- Then go to the opposite corner of the cube and type `//pos 2` in the chat
- Click on `From WE` to import the positions
- **If `h` is negative change it to the positive number** (`-130 -> 130`)
- **Both radii must be the same!**
- The rotation of the map has to be `z=0` (currently x=0 creates bugs and errors)
- Click on `Place Barriers` (Note that this has no undo)
- After the barriers are placed, click on `Givme Flags` to get 2 flags and place them at the bases.
### 4. Place barriers
### Meta Data
* The barrier is a plane defined by co-ordinate (=0).
* If you choose `X=0` the barrier will be placed having the X co-ordinate as 0. But from a few months, the `X=0` co-ordinate creates bugs and errors. It's better if you choose `Z=0` for creating your map.
* If you choose `Z=0` The barrier will be placed having the Z co-ordinate as 0.
* Click "place barrier". Note that this command does not have an undo.
* After placing barriers you should place 2 flags where you want bases to be. You get flags in `/gui` --> `Giveme flags`
The `gui`window only shows the most important things. You have to add the missing in the `map.conf` later.
### 5. Meta data
### Exporting
* Set the meta data
- Click on `Export` to export the map-files. This may takes some time
### 6. Export
## Map Meta
* Click export, and wait until completion.
* Copy the resultant folder from `worlddir/schems/` into `games/capturetheflag/mods/ctf/ctf_map/ctf_map_core/maps/`.
* Profit!
