[TUT]Best way of checking your map..

[clumar]

I've seen people say they dont know how to check the maps they made.. I'll explain it.. ALOT of people know it.. but, this is NOT for the people who KNOW it. It's simply for people who WANT to KNOW this..

Ok First.. making your map :

http://forum.ragezone.com/f245/tut-h...m-maps-313088/

Second.. you need the filelist xml maker to make it easier..

Oh.. and there is 1 link that doesnt work in that thread. later I give you a link to something that makes it easier.

http://forum.ragezone.com/f245/relea...erator-256056/

They say whose credit it goes to.. So.. no point to say =P

Other Things you need :
DDS Converter 2; RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting
GunzEntropy v0.24 : GunZ Factor Forums
Mrs Unpacker(better) :
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

OK.. credits on all that : Legion and Pablo_Jre the DDS converter.. I don't know.. but I think I got it off this site..

The rest is my idea.. so credits from here go to me.. =)

1. Make a folder called anything you want.. make sure its at C:\[folder here]
Ex : C:\Gunz2

2. Inside that folder put the filelist xml generator and make a folder called Maps

3. Inside make a folder with your maps name
Ex : The adress should look like this C:\Gunz2\TestingMap
If you need tiles and walls and stuff then go down to the next tut..

4. inside that folder paste everything from the .rar of your map.. lets say when you make the map, BUILD, the .rar file thats there. Paste everything inside the folder with your map name. Located at : C:\Gunzmap\data\maps

5. Go back to C:\Gunz2 and click on the filelist generator.

[code]<?xml version="1.0"?>

<XML>

<FILE NAME="FileList XML Maker.exe" CRC32="e3ca0639"/>

<FILE NAME="maps/testing1/gzd_map_Prison_floor001.bmp.dds" CRC32="f4ba6ad2"/>

<FILE NAME="maps/testing1/gzd_map_Prison_wall003.bmp.dds" CRC32="db2707de"/>

<FILE NAME="maps/testing1/gzd_map_Prison_win002.bmp.dds" CRC32="aadea0fd"/>

<FILE NAME="maps/testing1/spawn.xml" CRC32="78e2663b"/>

<FILE NAME="maps/testing1/Testing1.RS" CRC32="b5428a12"/>

<FILE NAME="maps/testing1/Testing1.RS.BSP" CRC32="a2356d4a"/>

<FILE NAME="maps/testing1/Testing1.RS.COL" CRC32="e7d118e5"/>

<FILE NAME="maps/testing1/Testing1.RS.LM" CRC32="8e51a5f0"/>

<FILE NAME="maps/testing1/Testing1.RS.XML" CRC32="c4a99c60"/>

<FILE NAME="maps/testing1/common/gzd_map_Prison_floor001.bmp.tga" CRC32="bae606b6"/>

<FILE NAME="maps/testing1/common/gzd_map_Prison_wall003.bmp.tga" CRC32="b6e87f19"/>

<FILE NAME="maps/testing1/common/gzd_map_Prison_win002.bmp.tga" CRC32="ccc89097"/>

</XML>

That's how the xml should look inside.. things similar to this.
--------
Now leave this minimized..
6. at C:\ make a folder called Mrs
EX : C:\Mrs

7. Here paste everything from Mrs Unpacker(better)
-Install the harshtab finder

8. Next go to ijji gunz folder and copy the system.mrs go back to C:\Mrs and paste.

9. Click on the Decompile thingy and write system on top.

10. go inside the system folder and open Filelist.

11. go back to the other filelist you made of your map and copy EVERYTHING exept

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<XML>

<FILE NAME="FileList XML Maker.exe" CRC32="e3ca0639"/>
 
 
 
< /XML>

12. Go back to Ijji's Filelist and press CTRL+F write

<FILE NAME="maps/Dungeon/spawn.xml" CRC32="238adb7f"/>

OK.. now unhighlight it hit space and paste your map.

13. open channelrule
Copy <MAP name="Mansion" />
go down and paste it below it
should look like this..

 <MAP name="Mansion" />
 <MAP name="Mansion" />

After this just replace the map name of the 2nd one with your map's name
<MAP name="Mansion" />
<MAP name="Mapname" />
do this to all the lists of maps there..

14. Ok now.. save it and close. Press properties of channel rule then press the file hashes tab and copy the CRC-32 code thingy.

15. go to filelist and press CTRL+F. Write channelrule.
Here just replace the crc-32 code. then close and save.

16. go back and open the Decompile thingy.. on the bottom of it.. write System. ONCE AGAIN, BOTTOM not top.

17. when its done copy the system.mrs and paste it in the ijji gunz folder.

18. In step 4 I said where to go.. go back there and look for something called "[yourmap].mrs" Location : C:\Gunzmap\data\maps

19. FINALLY.. go the the Gunz Entropy

20. put on your clothes and next to "Laugh Debug game!" search for your map..(BEST IF YOU PUT ON A SWORD SO YOU CAN MOVE)

21. take a look at your map..
-------------------------------------------------------------
DDS Converter
-------------------------------------------------------------
First off..
Do steps 6 and 7
6. at C:\ make a folder called Mrs
EX : C:\Mrs

7. Here paste everything from Mrs Unpacker(better)
-Install the harshtab finder

Next minimize this folder and open another folder and go to the ijji gunz folder.

Now go inside the Maps folder copy all the maps here and paste them in the mrs folder.

Decompile all the maps.

THIS WILL TAKE SO LONG.. open dds converter and search in the folders of the maps. Take the walls floors and skies/ceiling that you want from the maps make a folder called w/e you want at desktop. for every thing that you see and like that is a wall, floor or sky/ceiling paste it there.

After you've gone through all the maps you will have ALOT of walls floors and skies/ceilings.. in the dds converter change them all from .dds to .tga

Paste the ones change to .tga in C:\Gunzmap\data\textures

and.. DONE..

I know there are mistakes here.. but just tell me them.. Now I know how ppl feel when they write these tutorials.. If you dont understand then tell me where.. I'll help

I already said credits.
