Read this first! Map Making Tutorial

quick question, is the GIMP Palette in Wonka;s tutorial up to date?

 

I made a new map and placed spawns. On Singleplayer (sandbox and DM everything) is okay. Why on the server spawns in the air, in the middle of the map? Could someone write, how to fix it?

There's link to the album with map as png file and some screenshots: https://plus.google.com/photos/103589858584745772103/albums/5857441893408682513

 

*slowpoke mode on* Yes

 

Seriously sorry for necroing this post, but DO IT NOW. We seriously need a King of The Hill type gamemode. And Gold Hunt, I never got to play it. :(

 

I can make you one. You wanna? Leave me a message on my profile if so.

 

Well, I'd like it if you could make a Gold Hunt mode, if that's possible. I've heard it was really fun.

 

ok, the first of my problems:

When i load up a map in game only bedrock comes out, so then i go back to the paint image and change it to 24-bit.
then in game i cant load it anymore...

help...

 

What platform, what tool?

 

just, paint and kag sandbox to look at it.

 

use paint.net and save it in 24 bits

 

Can you use the photoshop colour chart for paint.net as well or is there a seperate one for it?
If so where can i find it?

 

I was testing things out in paint and found that placing everything within a 13x13 background dirt area will prevent it from collapsing when a single block is destroyed.

I'm still playing around with it, so it might be more complicated than that, all I have made is a 13x13 background dirt area and put many different sized dirt platforms inside it, they did not collapse when I broke them

If the background dirt was shorter than 13 in any direction it would collapse.

 

Sorry, I didn't think my post through very well.
I started with a 5x5 dirt square, and the background dirt extended 13 in 4 directions.
so from the center of the 5x5 square it extended 15 in each direction, which seems like a more likely number anyway.
so in total it was a 31x31 square, extending 15 in every direction from one center block.

sorry for being dumb in the last post :p

more info:
It was still stable when I changed the shape of the dirt platform without changing the background
It did not work with a circular background, 31block diameter

I extended the platform to go outside of the background, and it remained stable even after breaking the dirt connecting the portion that was outside of the background to the part inside. (after breaking the connection a single block of background dirt was still connecting it to the 31x31 background.)

But when the connection was a ladder the whole platform was stable when broken until the ladder was destroyed, the portion outside of the background fell.

 

how do you save single player maps?

 

Hello,

I have a few questions before I dive into map making.

1. How do you make tilted trampolines?
2. How tall can you make a map can you do 200x500?
3. Is it possible to use a custom background or textures in a map without loading a mod? IE: such as including a background image or having a gargoyle statue on top of a castle turret.

Thank you in advance x).

 

1. you cant (not sure)
2. any size you want, but smaller than around 60 x 60 will collapse on itself.
3. you cant

 

Can my map tutorial be added?

How do you get to console? Is it the other window that opens with KAG Beta?
