Issue with radarmaps[message #237858]

Hello everyone!

I've playing around with the editor a bit, altering the original JA2 maps.
I'm using this version of the editor:
MapEditor_MP_BMP_EN_01 (BUILD_09.08.30) including "Big Maps" Code by Kriplo
Now, I'm experiencing the following problem: Whenever I click on the "create radar map" button the editor creates a radarmap. Everything is just fine so far, despite the fact that those radarmaps are crippled in the way, that *every* light source is shown on the radarmap (which shouldn't be the case).

So, what's going on there? Or even better: How can I create radarmaps which just look the way they should?

There's a button to turn off the lights but that's only a map by map basis. Must be a new glitch koz the betamap from earlier this year (don't think bigmap was in it) generated radarmaps fine.

Even slower method. Press I. Take screenie. Shrink to 14% H&V. Crop the editor bits off by making attributes 88x44. Make sti.

Hey, thanks for your response!
Say,
- could you please be a bit more precise about that button to turn off lights?
- do you remember the editor version with working "create radar map" button you talked about?

Come on guys!
Isn't there someone working with the editor at the moment? Someone who could tell me the version he's using? Or someone who knows of a version capable of creating good radarmaps? :headscratch:

Hallo Beka,

After finishing your map you could try it in the following way:

1. MAP INFO
2. Toggle erase mode
3. erase the "Night" lights
4. Create radar map

Gern geschehen Beka! Smile

Maybe we'll see (and play) a public beta version of your updated map file one day? If you are looking for a hosting site to make your maps available for download, Starwalker made a directory on the FTP-Server for new maps:
http://ja2.h758491.serverkompetenz.net/NewMaps/

I'm sure many JA2 fans would be happy about a new map challenge.

I wish you much success for your map project and enjoy yourself!

Best regards; Schein

I also hope this will happen. Very Happy

We have a lack of good "mappers"

Is that the case? It has always seemed to me that there're lots of mappers around there?!
And another thing is, that I've been working only for some weeks so far - so I really don't think I can already call myself a 'good' mapper.

It's not the most important thing if you are good, not so good or the greatest mapper (at least not for me), it's just important that you are trying to do something. I appreciate every commitment for our favourite game. It keeps it alive!

Btw even the best mapmakers here around like AZAZEL, the scorpion or shed23 have started with their first map one day. :king:

Are you ready for Modding Experience: Lvl. 2/10 Beka? Very Happy
