Maps are an important part of The Mana World.
== Guidelines ==
== Guidelines ==
You can build a map for The Mana World using [http://mapeditor.org Tiled]


You can build a map for TMW using [http://mapeditor.org Tiled]
* '''Size:''' Around 200x200 tiles is good in practice, though the maximum is 1024x1024 tiles.
* '''Tile size:''' 32x32
* '''Map border:''' You need to leave a non-walkable but properly designed border around the map of at least 20 tiles ([[Dev:Maps/Border|Diagram]]). This can be suspended in special cases (like the botcheck map).
* '''Walls/players proportions:''' A normal door for a player is 2 tiles in height.
* '''Indoor/Outdoor proportions:''' It is not required that inside view of buildings has to fit the size of outside view. Don't make them too different unless the involvement of magic is obvious for the area.
* '''Path reference:''' Please use TMW folder structure to keep references to tilesets working. Also, please use TSX files instead of directly referencing the PNGs.
* '''Transparent color:''' Tilesets use alpha so no need to set a transparent color.
* '''Layers:''' Each map can have many layers. Two special layers are required in every map, though:
** ''Fringe:'' This layer is drawn simultaneously with items and beings, where tiles north of a being are drawn behind the being and tiles south of the being are drawn in front. Hence this layer is suitable for adding static objects to a map like plants or statues which exceed 32px in height. Tiles which belong into fringe are in oversize-tilesets marked with _x2 to _x8. Do '''NOT''' put tiles that are 32px high on this layer; having them here instead of lower layers makes the maps slower to render in the client, decreasing performance.
** ''Collision:'' this is a special layer for which you have to use the collision tileset. Use the red collision tile where you want a tile to be unwalkable. Be careful that even if a tile is not reachable, but it's walkable, the server can spawn monsters there, which means they will be unreacahble by players; other weird situations can also occur. For example fill a wall with collision tiles, not only the borders, or you could have monsters spawning inside the wall.


* '''Size:''' around 200x200 tiles is good in practice, though the theoretical maximum is 2048x2048
In a good style of mapping, please always use the lowest layer possible, and don't place tiles under other tiles that are completely opaque (like having something beneath a wall tile where it isn't visible). This is also in the interests of performance, since it keeps down overdraw.
* '''Tile size:''' 32x32
 
* '''Map border:''' you have to leave an empty border around the map of at least 20 tiles ([[Map development/Border|Diagram]])
== How to map ==
* '''Walls/players proportions:''' a normal door for a player is 2 tiles in height
When you want to make maps for The Mana World but you don't know how to start, read the [[Dev:Mapping Tutorial]].
* '''Indoor/Outdoor proportions:''' it is not required that inside view of buildings has to fit the size in outside view
* '''Path reference:''' please use tmw folder structure to keep references to tilesets working
* '''Transparent color:''' tilesets use alpha so no need to set a transparent color
* '''Layers:''' each map uses 4 layers: ground, fringe, over and collision (the fringe and collision layers must have those names)
** ''Ground:'' used for everything below items and beings.
** ''Fringe:'' this layer is drawn simultaneously with items and beings, where tiles above a being are drawn below the being and tiles below the being are drawn above. Hence this layer is suitable for adding static objects to a map like plants or statues.
** ''Over:'' usually used for walls or high objects. Each tile in this layer is always above items and beings.
** ''Collision:'' this is a special layer for which you have to use the collision tileset. Use the 'X' tile where you want a tile to be unwalkable. Be careful that even if a tile is not reachable, but it's walkable, the server can spawn monsters there, so you won't be able to reach them, or you can cause weird situations. For example fill a wall with 'X' tiles, not only the borders, or you could have monsters spawning inside the wall.


In a good style of mapping, please always use the lowest layer as possible (this is also in the interests of perfomance, since it keeps down overdraw).
The naming scheme we're using at the moment is described in it's own article here: [[Dev:TmwAthena Map Names]].

== How to map ==
[[Category:Map Development]]
 
When you want to make maps for tmw but you don't know how to start, read the [[Mapping Tutorial]].
 
== Map naming ==
The naming scheme on eAthena is a bit weird because of technical restrictions. Each map is named "new_X-1.tmx" where X is a consecutive number. Maps are numbered after the age of creation.
 
On the new server we will be able to have a much more convenient map names. Refer to the [[map naming]] article for details.
 
== Needed maps ==
 
The current priority is the expansion of the woodland area and transform it to the northern area of the [[Argaes]] continent. The plan is to expand the current area to the northeast. A tileset for the trade city is currently in development. This time should be used to close the gap between Hurnscald (map 18) and the new trade city and map the trade citys surrounding.
 
[[Image:Argaes-north-development.png]]
 
You can visit the following [http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4268 forum thread] for currently needed mapping tasks.
 
== Errors on existing maps ==
 
If you encounter a map error, big or small, please add it to this list so that eventually a mapper can pick it up and include it the next time the map gets updated. Also feel free to add suggestions.
 
Grey errors have been fixed but the fixed map file has not been released yet.
 
==== The desert area below town (1-1) ====
 
(no bugs reported in the current version)
 
==== Tulimshar (3-1) ====
 
* The large empty area at 44,34 in new_3-1 is reserved for the city's "palace", but we need a tile artist to start drawing the necessary tiles for this.
 
==== Desert Cave Level 2 (5-1) ====
 
(no bugs reported in current version)
 
==== The Eastern Desert (?) (7-1) ====

We can see the cave snake cut off behind the wall.
 
Blash says: "This is probably because
this map needs black tiles placed
in the ceiling layer of the map.
This is the same problem with the snow village map below."

This article contains information for players or people interested in playing on the Classic server. If you are looking for information for The Mana World, go here The Mana World.
See also the Classic Portal


This article is for reference purpose

The features described in this article are already implemented in the game. The article should describe how a certain aspect of the game currently works. You may of course edit this article to improve the description of the circumstances. Your opinions or improvement suggestions about the described aspects themself are of course appreciated, too. But please put these on the discussion page of this article to keep facts and fiction separated.

Maps are an important part of The Mana World.

Guidelines

You can build a map for The Mana World using Tiled

  • Size: Around 200x200 tiles is good in practice, though the maximum is 1024x1024 tiles.
  • Tile size: 32x32
  • Map border: You need to leave a non-walkable but properly designed border around the map of at least 20 tiles (Diagram). This can be suspended in special cases (like the botcheck map).
  • Walls/players proportions: A normal door for a player is 2 tiles in height.
  • Indoor/Outdoor proportions: It is not required that inside view of buildings has to fit the size of outside view. Don't make them too different unless the involvement of magic is obvious for the area.
  • Path reference: Please use TMW folder structure to keep references to tilesets working. Also, please use TSX files instead of directly referencing the PNGs.
  • Transparent color: Tilesets use alpha so no need to set a transparent color.
  • Layers: Each map can have many layers. Two special layers are required in every map, though:
    • Fringe: This layer is drawn simultaneously with items and beings, where tiles north of a being are drawn behind the being and tiles south of the being are drawn in front. Hence this layer is suitable for adding static objects to a map like plants or statues which exceed 32px in height. Tiles which belong into fringe are in oversize-tilesets marked with _x2 to _x8. Do NOT put tiles that are 32px high on this layer; having them here instead of lower layers makes the maps slower to render in the client, decreasing performance.
    • Collision: this is a special layer for which you have to use the collision tileset. Use the red collision tile where you want a tile to be unwalkable. Be careful that even if a tile is not reachable, but it's walkable, the server can spawn monsters there, which means they will be unreacahble by players; other weird situations can also occur. For example fill a wall with collision tiles, not only the borders, or you could have monsters spawning inside the wall.

In a good style of mapping, please always use the lowest layer possible, and don't place tiles under other tiles that are completely opaque (like having something beneath a wall tile where it isn't visible). This is also in the interests of performance, since it keeps down overdraw.

How to map

When you want to make maps for The Mana World but you don't know how to start, read the Dev:Mapping Tutorial.

The naming scheme we're using at the moment is described in it's own article here: Dev:TmwAthena Map Names.
