Question on server side maps...
Question on server side maps...
by Sigma » Thu Jun 14, 2001 11:45 am
I am fineished with a server side map, but just wanted to make sure its trully server side... I used the riverdance terrain... I didn't touch the terrain except to pug a few holes after i cleared it but didn't go near the terraforming function... I adjusted water and stuff but didn't touch or alter the terrain in anyway except to clear squares to place buldings... In my .mis file I have terrain set to "Riverdance.ter" . Now, is this a server side map.. and when I submit it I just have to submit my .mis and .spn files right? Also, I know adding a .png file for screen loadup on client side is fine because it has to be downloaded anyway, but is it okay to include a .png file with server side or will the picture not download for the client and lead to problems? thanks

That should work as a server-side just fine. The load image is entirely optional and will not affect the client unless they dl the map (in which case they will see the pic as intended).

You can include a load image without fear of causing any crashes, and without fear of making your map client-side. The only purpose for including a load image is so that players have the option of downloading the file and therefore seeing the image when they load the map.

You can't clear terrain squares to place bases though can you? I thought that was stored in the .ter file?
