i wanted to ask,i wana make complete 1000x1000 map, what the best way do it:
1. make map with 5 layers that each layer is 200,200 (200,200,5) .
2.make 5 maps with 1 layer of 200x200 ({200,200,1}x5 like this) .
3. if you reccomand on other way that isn't 1 of both that i write, ill glad to hear, cos i know only this 2.
and if you can explain with some ward's what the dif between this 2 way's it will be very help.
first thnx for the fast answer,

You would need 25 Z levels to match the number of turfs from the larger map.i see the math, and you right ill ask it more clearly: I would say use whatever size fits your needs.the size that i need is 1000x1000 = 1,000,000 turf's what is the best way to do it: 1.make map with 25 layers that each layer is 200,200 (200,200,25) 200x200=40,000 and 40,000*25=1,000,000 . 2.make 25 maps with 1 layer of 200x200 ({200,200,1}x25 like this) . 3. if you reccomand on other way that isn't 1 of both that i write, ill glad to hear, cos i know only this 2. and if you can explain with some ward's what the dif between this 2 way's it will be very help. and i focus on runtime thing's what will be better (less heavy to run) or myabe they are equal, what do you reccomend? and if can explain a bit about the diffrent between the optine's it will be great :-) | |
The number of turfs are ultimately what matter. The map editor is limited to 1,000 x 1,000 at compile time. The game engine can handle maps with larger dimensions on each axis, you just can't compile them in.
If you want a seamless world, do a single layer. If you don't need a seamless world, multiple layers is fine. Ultimately, there is no real difference between a segmented map on 25 different Z levels and a single Z level. You just need to do a bit of extra work if you want to make the single Z level map segments act like they are on separate Z levels, and a boatload of extra work if you want to make a bunch of Z levels act like a single seamless map. | |
I would say use whatever size fits your needs.
