CTF Map

This mod handles multiple maps.

Creating a new map

1. Dependencies

• Minetest 0.4.16 or later.
• Mods
  • ctf_map (by copying the folder from this game to minetest/mods)
  • worldedit and worldedit_commands.

2. Find an area

• 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 vary.
• Feel free to modify the area to your needs.

3. Select the area

There are multiple ways do this, this is the simplist in most cases.

• 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 "From WE" then "To WE".
• Check that the center location is the right place for the barrier to go.
• Check that the bounds extend far enough.

4. Place barriers

• Set the middle barrier direction. The barrier is a plane defined by a co-ordinate = 0. If the barrier is X=0, then it will placed with every node of the barrier having X=0. If the barrier is Z=0, then it will placed with every node of the barrier having Z=0.
• Click "place barrier". Note that this command does not have an undo.

5. Meta data

• Set the meta data

6. Export

• Click export, and wait until completion.
• Copy the two files from worlddir/schemes/ to ctf_map/maps/.
• Rename the files so the two prefixed numbers are consistent to existing maps.
• Profit!
