If you didnt see the updated post i put the tileset, enjoy!

 

[kejopo1]

I have worked on 12 of the maps for hoenn and completed 10 now.
Slateport I'm missing a majority of the building sprites and most of the market place sprites. Fortree city is the other one I was not able to complete, I'm not sure how to handle the raised structures. If I make the area "walkable" then the tiles don't look right, also at some points in the town you have to walk under bridges, I'm not sure how to configure that eithor.

I figured it might be easier to understand if I posted the map for fortree city.......

So many things wrong with that map, instead of fixing it i just wanna remap it :/

yah the tileset is messed up......and i messed up the raised platforms..........and walkways.....

 

[kejopo1]

I attached all the maps Ive worked on so far. Just keep in mind there not all finished.

U need to remember, u cant have tiles on a collision layer, and tiles on a walkable layer, in the same coordinates, they will duck with each other..

Hm...thats odd cause it should be set to use top most layer. Collision should be on top. But if thats the only major problem thats a relatively easy fix. I'm assuming the water and the walkable tile would have similar issues? I ussually cover the whole map with whatever walkable tile cover the most surface area on the map and then add the other layer on top of that. I'll try walking around on one and see how bad it is. Also alot of the maps that the game is already using use collision on top of walkable.
A good example is 3,0.




EDIT: I just tested mossdeep out.......looks a little clunky but the walk around was fine.....also I just confirmed that you do not need to add the maps to that list to get them to load. All you need is drop the map in both the client and server map folder and give the map name a numerical coordinate that is not taken to work.


Did you notice any other problems besides the walkable and collision tiles overlapping?

Edit: for somereason I cant get get to page 19 of this forum....

Cannot reach time server is a normal error. That's because in the coding, there is a line of code that goes to a web page (which is now closed) and takes the time and sets it in game. Without the code, it just sets the time to what's on your computer.

The registration error means that your game isn't connecting to the mySQL database.

My time server messed up as well....i think defualt mentioned how to fix that earlier in this forum..or on one of the other forums related to this topic...I havent had time to fix it yet....

The unknown error can be fixed by getting a corect version of the sql database. The one in the link doesn't work.....someone posted a correct one on one of the earlier pages.........I can't remeber which one is correct I attached 2 of them to this post.....one is right the other is wrong.....cant remeber which is which......so try both.....let me know if you have any other issues

[-DefaulT]

the .sh is just for linux there should already be a .bat

Actually, there isn't. The bat isn't included in the SVN.

You're using Windows, so that won't work. I have a working SERVER_START.bat included in the attachment.
