|
## Creating a new map
|
|
|
|
### 1. Dependencies
|
|
|
|
* Minetest 5.0.0 or later.
|
|
* `ctf_map` modpack (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 be lesser.
|
|
* Feel free to modify the area to your needs.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Select the area
|
|
|
|
There are multiple ways do this, this is the simplest 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 resultant folder from `worlddir/schems/` into `ctf_map/ctf_map_core/maps/`.
|
|
* Profit!
