lvz is just what tells the game when and where and how

the "dirt" is just an image, nothing more

 

as for finding such an image...

Aight now how would i go about putting that image into my map?

[Yupa]

download TiledMajick

extract the .zip, run the .exe

 

input the width and height of your image (in pixels) [just leave the 'image' box as '0'] and hit the 'DO IT' button

 

open up the newly-created 'output.txt' (in same directory as TiledMajick.exe) using notepad or somesuch text editor

 

BEFORE everything, ADD the following:

 

outfile=nameOfYourChoice.lvz

 

file=nameOfYourImage.png

 

[objectimages]image0=nameOfYourImage.png

 

[mapobjects]

 

save your modified 'output.txt' as 'nameOfYourChoice.ini'

 

(note, .png is not the only image format you can use, you can use any of these formats: .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .png)

 

now download lvztoolkit.zip

extract the .zip and run 'BuildLevel.exe'

when the browse-for-file box pops up, find and select your new .ini file - if all goes well, a .lvz file with the name specified in 'outfile=' will be created in the same directory as your .ini file

 

now...

 

you've got to get the .lvz into your arena

 

(you must have sysop powers to do the following - if you are not a sysop, you will need a sysop to do this for you)

 

make sure your .lvz file is in your main Continuum directory (eg. C:\Program Files\Continuum), then go into your zone and type *putfile nameOfYourChoice.lvz

 

now type *getfile arenaName.cfg

(or server.cfg for public arenas) - it will download to your Continuum directory (eg. C:\Program Files\Continuum)

open it with a text editor, find the setting 'misc:levelfiles=' and set it so it is 'misc:levelfiles=nameOfYourChoice.lvz'

save your changes and type *putfile arenaName.cfg back in your zone

 

now re-enter the arena whose .cfg file you've been fiddling with and you should download and see your dirt image all over the map instead of black space and stars

[objectimages]

image0=dirt.bmp

 

[mapobjects]

 

On the top of the page then i save it as dirt.ini .... Then i run buildlevel.exe and i click on dirt.ini, Then the next thing it says is Unable to open file dirt.bmp .... That means it cant open the image right? well i dont know how to do it... Plz i need more help

[Yupa]

ha, sorry

 

make sure dirt.jpg is in the same directory as the .ini file

and make sure you use dirt.jpg in the .ini file (eg. image0=dirt.jpg)
