MapCreator, replace for Sandbox

Since sandbox mode doesn't let you use all of the blocks you'd want to make a nice map, I've created this gamemode as a replacement.
To use it you just have to extract it to the main KAG folder, and then COPY the MapCreator folder in Base/Rules, rename the Zombie_Survival folder to something like Zombie_Survival2 and then rename the copy of MapCreator to Zombie_Survival

It's more complicated than you'd like, but like this it's easier to go back to the normal zombie mode, and to eventually just host a MapCreator server instead of replacing the zombie mode (once the spawning bug is fixed).

Features:
-No damage
-New blocks (wood, mossy, natural resources with names, rubble, dirt, grass)
-That's about it

Enjoy!

 

I love you <3 No homo! xD

 

Lol, thanks I guess xD

 

You are a saint and should be worshipped as such.

 

Nice, but mind explaining what those numbers are?
And I assume you took the Mossy stones/natural resources from actor files?
Edit: Since you need to rename ur folder to Zombie_Survival there is no point in putting /Mapcreator/Archer.cfg etc etc might, want to fix that :P

 

I got those from trial and error. In one of the game modes there's a builder_blocks.cfg (probably in CTF full I don't remember). IN the comments it says "offset from world.png" so I took a look at the Sprites/world.png file, and realized that to get a particular tile, you just have to calculate where that tile starts in the world.png file e.g. the first tile would be 0, the second 16, etc.

Actually that wouldn't work, as every file references the configurations in /MapCreator not /Zombie_Survival so that it works as a standalone mode and not only a Zombie fortress replacement. That means that you actually don't need to replace every file from /Zombie_Survival, just gamemode.cfg as this file points to all the others in /MapCreator but I decided to give the instructions to just copy all as it seems easier.

 

It doesn't seem to work for me anymore...
While I DO know it worked (as it is how I got the wood blocks in it), does it still work for you? :/

 

Tested aaaaaaand nope. There was a "bugfix" last build related to zombie fortress that probably screwed things up, that and the fact that you can't save a map that runs on a server, means we have no way to create .kag maps. Nice.

 

better installation:
extract your zip in main kag folder
replace content of Base\Maps\sandbox.gm with this

Code:

 
    LoadRules("Rules/MapCreator/gamemode.cfg");
    LoadMapCycle( "Rules/MapCreator/mapcycle.cfg" );
    LoadMap( "" );
 
print(`Config loaded from sandbox.gm`);

enjoy!

 

That's not a better installation.
Currently there's no way to make it work with sandbox mode as you need a gold server to have access to premium stuff, that's the reason my instructions say that you should replace Zombie Fortress. That's the only current workaround in single player.

 

I can't spawn.
