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://tiled.rpgdx.net Tiled]
* '''Size:''' Around 200x200 tiles is good in practice, though the maximum is 1024x1024 tiles.
 
* '''Tile size:''' 32x32
* Suggested map size: usually maps should be 200x200 at max
* '''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).
* Tile size: 32x32
* '''Walls/players proportions:''' A normal door for a player is 2 tiles in height.
* Map border: you have to leave an empty border around the map of at least 30 tiles
* '''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.
* Walls/players proportions: a normal door for a player is 2 tiles in height
* '''Path reference:''' Please use TMW folder structure to keep references to tilesets working. Also, please use TSX files instead of directly referencing the PNGs.
* Indoor/Outdoor proportions: it is not required that inside view of buildings has to fit the size in outside view
* '''Transparent color:''' Tilesets use alpha so no need to set a transparent color.
* Path reference: please use tmw folder structure to keep references to tilesets working
* '''Layers:''' Each map can have many layers. Two special layers are required in every map, though:
* Transparent color: tilesets use alpha so no need to set a transparent color
** ''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.
* Layers: each map uses 4 layers: ground, objects, over and collision (names are only suggested)
** ''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.
** Ground: used for everything below items and beings.
** Objects: 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.
* TMW doesn't support layer data compression, so disable it in Tiled: Edit -> Preferences -> Saving -> Compress layer data should not be checked


In a good style of mapping, please always use the lowest layer as possible (this interests also perfomances).
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.

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


When you want to make maps for tmw but you don't know how to start, read the [[Mapping Tutorial]].
The naming scheme we're using at the moment is described in it's own article here: [[Dev:TmwAthena Map Names]].
 
== Error and suggestions ==
 
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.
 
==== The desert area below town (1-1) ====
 
* Some Walls have to be retested to the west against the left hill. The character has sometimes a strange behaviour while walking along that wall, and that doesn't seem to be linked with the map. Or am I wrong?
:This has most probably got something to do with that the edge of the world comes in sight, all sprites have this "strange behaviour". --[[User:Modanung|Modanung]]
::Yes, handling of map border case needs to be fixed. --[[User:Bjørn|Bjørn]] 14:58, 18 Jul 2005 (CEST)
 
==== 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.
 
==== The Underground Palace (5-1) ====
 
<div style="color: gray;">
* The wall at 59,89 hides the Players head ;)  Stand on 59,90
:I looked into the tmx file and it is marked unpassable, so it must be the drawing.
::I can't reproduce this error anymore, it has been probably fixed, so I marked it as solved [[User:Thefox|Thefox]] 17:41, 9 January 2006 (CET)
</div>
<div>
* (Palace Level 2) Stand on 45,31 - Tile incorrectly not covering the player
* (Lower cave) Monsters sometimes appear/walk on the lake near [85, 65]
</div>
 
==== The Eastern Desert (?) (7-1) ====
 
* Contains 2 cave entrances that lead to yet to determine caves.
* Exit to the south east determined?
<div style="color: gray;">
Not sure if these are errors, but here goes:
** {35,24},{36,24},{37,24},{35,25} - Why are these not walkable?
** {146,89} diagonal line to {156,98} - tiles on Fringe instead of Over</div>
 
==== Casino (?) (8-1) ====
 
* Bar table is lower layer, characters can walk on it


==== Woodland (9-1) ====

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.
