    AHHHHHHHH!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!! :x

    Okay, if anybody could solve mt dilemma, i would be eternally grateful.

    Anyways, here's my dilemma:

    I have Made a worldmap, but everytime i try to travel on it, the screen does not shift with me, and instead of going where i wanted to go, the map sends me to the very edge, in the ocean, so i can't move. I have tried many, many things to make it work, but nothing seems to work...

    Oh, please, my fellow forum-goers, if any one of you can shed light to my problem, please do so, because a worldmap would be a major key point to my mod and ir REALLY need one, and mine just won't work...

    RE

    hey! you have my worldmap, and it works, so the logical thing to do would be to do exactly what mine is, and just go into photoshop, or even paint, and copy your map into there, and do exactly the same stuff I did. It works!

    BAH!! BAH!! I SAY BAH!!

    I'll get the modding content up one day. I'll shift Amtut over here and put up Zammy's tutorial.

    Like all good content though, it's on the site in an obscure directory while I get to it later.
    http://www.terra-arcanum.com/arcanum/ol ... ndex.shtml

    Enjoy!

    http://www.terra-arcanum.com/arcanum/do ... 4_1070.exe

    When you download it and it asks you to install it to a directory, type in a bogus directory (IE: NOT the one that Arcanum is actually installed in). Then go to that directory afterwards, copy out "WorldEd.exe" and put it in your real \Arcanum directory (over-writing the one that's in there).

    just a thought... :)

    hopefully somebody can shed light on the situation...

    yeah, tree the reason that i have been dormant iz cuz i hav no world map to go with my mod, and it is purdy useless without a worldmap... *sigh*

    oh well, time to sit here and wait until some smart guy finally realizes my plight and comes to save the day...

    Sounds like your World Map is too small. I found there was a limit on those things. You need a thick over-hanging edge along the bottom and right side so that you don't walk too close to the edge and have it scroll off into blackness.

    How big is the world map (in pixels) and how big (how many sectors) is your game map?

    I got my worldmap to work(encounters and all) by making it 2000x2000 like Arcanum's own. I'm just not that good at making the right encounters work, like wolves in snow areas, and spiders in the desert, whatever.[edit] Oh yeah, for the worldmap bmp, the world editor has where you can export terrain bitmaps, and voila, it creates a basic image for you in the 'maps' folder.
