New Maps

[dontpanic]

Hey fellow Liners,

I experimented a litte with the “map editor” and finally decided to do a map with a text file on my own. The editor is hard to use and also it writes over the mission you are editing.

Just create a new text file in Production Line > data > missions and copy the code below into it. I also created a .jpg file to match the mission (see attachement). This mission creates a 100x100 factory with loooots of Import spots all around the square as well as Export spots, but only on one side of the square, as a I always design my lines linear and parallel. Starting Cash is set to 90.000.000$ and the rent is only 1$ because I used this mission to experiment and didnt want to wait for all the research. I set up 100 research labs and when everything was researched, I created a savegame as my basis.

Have fun with this

Nice work, Ive been trying to figure out the mission editor, I wanted a 500x500 but you can’t see the imports/export slots lol zoom feature would be nice now.

[dontpanic]

500x500 crashes if i try manually.

I tried a new layout with a new 100x300 main assembly line and nine 50x10 lines for part making. I hope the next patch fixes the problem with the 40+ import slots otherwise this layout is needless.

Hey @ all

Thanks for the examples. I tried one myself using the notepad. Hardest thing to fight was starting to count with 0 e.g. to become a 33 x 40 are starting with 0,0 and ending at 32,39 …

Here my first try on map creation ready to unrar to the game folder:
mission_u-shaped-factory.rar (7.49 KB)

All necessary subfolders are included so both files will be at the right spot.

Kind regards & hf

[dontpanic]

a rar-archive…
Why didn’t I come up with that idea. Great work!

[MaN1aC]

yeah, makes it easy to install because of using the folder structure

[MaN1aC]

Hey @ all,

I tried to create a larger map but it crashes when loading.
So either there are some limitations regarding the overall size (150 x 270), the numbers of importers (94) or just the shape (8).
Other maps that are part of the installer have equal or more zones (8) and equal or more exports (16).

Any idea?

Please find attached the .xml and the log files.
The game crashes with the error messages

• Assertion failure:filename:…\src\GUI_TextureCache.cpp,linenum:25
• Assertion failure:filename:…\src\GUI_TileWall.cpp,linenum:29

But because it’s not a supported feature I don’t want to claim this a bug …

So long

[Edit]
I found the limitation (max 250 x 250 total size) and two mistakes (double numbered zone & mistype at zone dimension) so will wait for 1.11 …
