How To make a Custom Login Map.

Aimed · Oct 22, 2008

Warning: This Tutorial may be OUTDATED. Incase you can't get this to work, You now know why.

Please Comment when you see I forgot something.

today I write my first Tutorial.
It's about how to make a custom Login.mrs
A Preview of what you could make by follow this TUT (I used High_Haven) => Click Here for preview

What do you need for making a custom login:

The Map you would like to transform into a login map.
A Client (Won't work on Ijji as far as we know, December and July clients can be used [testing on BR]).
A Developer Mode runnable (ROA's GunzLoader.exe) (
To view the content, you need to sign in or register
)
Notebook or C++ or something like that.. aslong as you can edit .xml

Now, the first thing you do is make a copy of you map.mrs and open it up with a mrs unpacker.
Then you open the file named "<maps name>.RS.XML".
Scroll down and you will see near the end of the document something like this (Delete everything exept spawn_solo_101):

Code:

When you deleted all the unnecessary spawns, you could now begin adding the Camera Login codes.
here are the codes:

Code:

  <DUMMY name="camera_pos 01">
      <POSITION>0.0 0.0 0.0</POSITION>
      <DIRECTION>0.0 0.0 0.0</DIRECTION>
    </DUMMY>
  <DUMMY name="camera_pos 02">
      <POSITION>0.0 0.0 0.0</POSITION>
      <DIRECTION>0.0 0.0 0.0</DIRECTION>
    </DUMMY>

hese need to be pasted underneed the spawn_solo_101 (to make things easier I changed spawn_solo_101's data to all zeros)
It will look like this when you added the codes:

Code:

   <DUMMY name="spawn_solo_101"> [B]  <!-- This is where your char respawns--/>[/B]
      <POSITION>0.0 0.0 0.0</POSITION>
      <DIRECTION>0.0 0.0 0.0</DIRECTION>
    </DUMMY>
    <DUMMY name="camera_pos 01">   [B]<!--This is where the camera starts in your login--/>[/B]
      <POSITION>0.0 0.0 0.0</POSITION>
      <DIRECTION>0.0 0.0 0.0</DIRECTION>
    </DUMMY>
    <DUMMY name="camera_pos 02">   [B]<!--This is where the camera ends in your login--/>[/B]
      <POSITION>0.0 0.0 0.0</POSITION>
      <DIRECTION>0.0 0.0 0.0</DIRECTION>
    </DUMMY>

Now what you do next is Save this file, and go to your map folder. You'll see Files named after the map's name. you will need to change those file names to "login" (Only of the files RS.XML RS.lm RS.col RS.bsp and RS)

Now those files would be named after this:

login.RS
login.RS.XML
login.RS.bsp
login.RS.col
login.RS.lm

Next step is renaming the name of the map's folder to login aswell.

Here comes to harder part. You will need to past GunzLoader.exe into a clients folder. Make sure that that client has your map in the client's MAP folder.
Now make a shortcut of GunzLoader.exe and put it on your desktop or what ever.
Press right buttin on the shortcut and select properties.
You'll see that the shortcut has the gunzloader.exe as TARGET. Now you will need to edit that by pasting this code behind it (delete the [ ] ):

Code:

[ /game "[B]map[/B]" debug "00"]

a space befor /game is requiered to let this work!
Fill in the name of your map where i wrote "map"
Save the change you made and run the shortcut by double clicking it.

Now you will see that A Gunz Client will load. if the loading is done, it will start loading the map.
Then you respawn in the map (map needs lightmap, otherwise it will crash or give an error).

Next step: Find the exact place you want your char to respawn in the login map.
Press F9 and you'll see a bunch of codes on your screen.
Search for "pos" and "dir"
These codes show you where you are located in the map (where the feet of your char are).

open up the Login.RS.XML that you saved last time and scroll down again.
Write the code for "pos" between <POSITION> and </POSITION>
And the code for "dir" between <DIRECTION> and </DIRECTION>

Now for camera 01 and 02, You need to do the same but from an other position ofcorse.
Keep in mind that the Developer Mode gives the coordinations of the position of where your chars FEET are. So for the camera you'll need to count a little bit up to get your camera a bit higher then against the floor.
Note: Don't try to use the camera coordinates in the RS.XML.

If you're done, Compile your Login folder (the map) and place it into your interface folder in your client.
Normaly you're done now, Have fun!

I'm from belgium so it could be that you don't understand my englisch very much. Correcting my on my englisch is very much appreciated.

Very Nice and Very Help Full Thanx

i tried this already a
but the game crashes while loading

FreeZa™ · Oct 22, 2008

which client is that loadable for?

If your login is finisched and It crashes when you check it out on a client, it could crash because:

you deleted the spawn_solo_101
your client could be missing a file.
you didn't rename the files in the login.mrs (your new map) to login.RS.XML, login.RS.bsp, etc..
you forgot added the camera stuff (possibility, I don't know about this)

If the game crashes while starting the developer mode, Could be because one of these reasons:

you are trying to use a map who doesn't have lightmap.
you are trying this on a client who doesn't allow this.
the client you are using could be incomplete (no model, system, man, woman.mrs , .....)
or something diffrent then these things above where I didn't have any problems with.

Z = how high is your chars position.
X = the position of your char in the map according to the direction X (Like in Math)
Y = the position of your char in the map according to the position Y (Like in Math)
