Editing map from server side

[iraasta]

Hi, i wanted to make some sandbox elements in my game. However as i see all the map editing code is at the client's side in MapEditorSetTile, and on server's side i cant find anything responsible for that.

In short desccription I want to make a skill which builds a shelter on a map. How can i change map tiles from server side code?

Help please. And thanks for every response.

It would probably have to be code-generated. There's absolutely no point in adding a rendering engine into a server.

A code generated strucutre as Sekaru said. It would load the data of this building from presumably a .dat file, and copy it to the map location after sufficient checks. You'd also need an instancing system unless this is for a warp scroll like in Torchlight.

I thought its gonna be like making new skill type, if requirments are met i'd get player position and change tiles in from of him to x,y from tileset.

But i see this is much more complex.

Umm… Then i guess this is too much for my poor skills.

Pity.

Thanks anyway. EoT

And what if i'd do generating by command? Would it be possible to check does player meets requirments and change tiles related to Player Position? I really wish to make that element to game.
