Coding Map Build Script

Rhino · 2007-10-30, 07:59

I've made a simple map building script, which I have not yet fully tested but when packing muttrah it looked to be working perfectly and didn't have to delete any files or anything out of the .zips

Requires that you have 7zip installed on your system, and at the moment with the script it needs to be installed to the default location: "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe", but you can edit the script to change it to a diffrent location

Build script is pretty strait forward, just dump it into your map folder (/levels/*your map name*/) and run the script, will bring you to a menu and just follow it

Download the script here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3hrdjdwc5o...r_map.bat?dl=0

Hope you find this useful and feedback welcome

sure sounds nice, even though I might not understand it fully. Maybe I'll appriciate it more when I start doing some small mapping projects...

What exactly does this do?
Sorry I'm noob with all this stuff

I believe it sets up some settings for building a PR map, so he dosnt have to answer too many questions about it in the future

but its just my theory...

it builds the server and client .zips for the maps, putting the right files in each and making sure files that are not needed are not included to save space/packing time.

so would I do this before,after or during the making of my map?

Rhino · 2007-10-30, 11:07

you will do this when you want to test/play your map on a dedicated server. The map will have to be packed before it can be used in a MP game.
