Map Maker

[AlexKuttner]

So the problem is this.
The in-game map editor is really annoying doing 200x200 maps in, is there any prgram i can use to edit the maps with or maybe there is some way to fix this?

Thanks

If the problem is the maps are too big ( i mean the 200x200 is big for you) Then:

1.Go Admin Panel
2.Map
3.Properties (bottom left corner)
4.Then change Max Sizes ( bottom left corner)

Hope i helped :)

why are the maps that big?

And how could you possibly make that faster for you to map? either way you're still going to have to click each individual tile and masks and then attributes…

i wanted them to be 200x200 because i don't like to have loads of maps, best of all would be if you could have it like in tibia with just 1 big map but still have smaller maps for inside of buildings and such. i'm new to EO so i don't know what would work the best.
The reason i don't like the in-game map editor is i have to run around with a character to do different parts of map. i'd prefer if i could quickly move around maps and zoom out to see how the maps look as a whole.

Also, whats the diffrence between "VISUAL STUDIO 2010 ULTIMATE" an "VB 6" ? I'm thinking about learning VB6 but i can't seem to find where to get it, can just find visual studio ultimate

[benedek11]

so you want bigger maps?..

[AlexKuttner]

being able to see more of the map area i guess. standard screen is like 15x14 squares, i want it bigger. like full screen mapping or something like that.

[kris_hole]

well for that (i could be wrong) but you'd either have to convert EO to directx8 and add in a zoom function OR convert it from 2d to DirectDraw3D so you could zoom in and out of the rendered image.

And vb.net 2010 is a different language to vb6\. anything you make in vb6 will NOT work in 2010.

It's still visual basic, but shitter.

VB6 allows a person to program in Visual Basic while Visual Studio 2010 deals with VB.NET. Visual Basic 6 as a program is not longer being produced and the only way to get it legally is off of eBay.

I'm not sure if [Tiled Map Editor](http://www.mapeditor.org/) works with Eclipse. I have a feeling it won't.

There's nothing to fix really - working in any map editor will envolve you having to move a camera around. If it really bugs you maybe a [custom version](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/board,317.0.html) has made an edit to the map editor (I haven't been keeping up with Eclipse stuff so I wouldn't know).

Is there's no way to make it fullscreen or something like that so i have a larger workarea and would have to move less? :)

also, for somereason i can't install VB6, running windows 7 so that might be it? it whants to do some java download thing and i click yes and then there's just an error :/ any1 know how to fix this?

Edit: Also decided to make maps smaller (50x50)

Edit 2: Tried Tiled map editor before posting and it did not work, too bad :(

[kris_hole]

you nee to run it as admin with the UAC off…

vb6 works fine in win 7.

And if you want to make eclipse fullscreen you'll have to code that feature in yourself

And, if you want to move about faster, Admin's can use shift+click to move to any tile. Much quicker.
