Need help with mapping!
« on: November 20, 2012, 02:51 PM »
Sup guys!

I'm starting to make maps again. Last time I did, I were very young and made rather noobish maps so I'd like some tips from you guys.

I'll start of with this:
I made a proper map to start of, how do you set the water to plop weapons but not the worms?

right click where you set the water level in the map editor.
On wwp we had to do it manually.

right click on the water level  :)

I used to set it manually but i googled it to find a picture of the right level on worms2d, turns out you can just right click with your mouse and the level will be automically set to waterdrops  :)


That's a good tip for Chelsea too  :D

I tried rightclicking the water level meter but nothing happens. I just get that W:A-Error-Buzz-Sound. The mines still get placed on the boarder.

The tip of the arrow needs to be level with topmost pixels of the lower border of the frame, like in this picture:

did you set the border on full Conny?

It only works with border enabled, cause you only use it for roper maps  :)

Shopper and RR can just be set to the lowest.

Conny, here are 2 ways:

1. Click 1 pixel above the bottom border of water box. (look at the picture Rok posted)
2. Forget about waterlevel, finish your map, when done, load it into TUS map editor and set water level to 2 there and save.
Due to massive misunderstandings: MonkeyIsland refers to an island not a monkey. I would be a monkey, if my name was IslandMonkey meaning a monkey who is or lives on an island. MonkeyIsland is an island which is related to monkeys. Also there's been a legend around saying MonkeyIsland is a game. So please, think of me as an island or a game.

because you're doing it wrong. try until you get it right, takes as much time as posting here
MonkeyIsland, my friend, I know your english is terrible and your understanding of society limited. However, in real life, people attack and humiliate others without the use of a single bad word. They even go to war with lengthy politeness. You can't base the whole moderation philosophy of a community based on the use of bad words and your struggle with sarcasm and irony. My attack to Jonno was fully justified and of proper good taste.

I'm 100% certain that I did click one pixel above the lower boarder of the meter. I can't move the pointer in half-pixels.

go to the left... no your other left

since you're 100% certain and we're all wrong, just keep trying, try two pixels up instead of one because you're clearly stating from a different place than everyone else, I'm sure it will take you less than 2 minutes and 3 game restarts to realize your mistake

or you can ask here and wait another day

First off, you're an annoying, mean arrogant person and I don't like you.

Secondly, I was 100% cartain that it wasn't 1 pixel and I was right. It was actually two pixels and nt one. So technically, I wasn't doing anything wrong by instruction. I posted cause I did exactly like I was told to but yes, I did get it right eventually. You are right about that one. I'm still thankful that people tried their best to help.

Lol? You didn't give any advice, all you did was to make a rude assumption that I'm stupid.
I've known people like you. That's all I'm saying and that's what I'm leaving this at.
