laurens Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 i tried to use the program that was in the community center news, but whoever made it, is a complete idiot, or has a lag of communication, and i think its the last one though..don't take this personally if you are the creater anyway, i was planning to spend a spare hour editing a map of mine, but i made it to high, and i want to lower it, tried to use the tool, but it is complete madness, there isn't a proper manual on how to use it, the interface (as far as you can call it a interface) also sucks.. the .txt file containts 4 lines of so called 'instructions' that you can't understand as a normal MTA map builder.. so now i am asking for a good manual, or something that changes my map called Block city (search in the map database for it) a bit lower. at the hight of let see..something like destruction derby.. i will thank every person that helps me with this!

Si|ent Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Aerons documention is notoriously lacking. Try Slushs one instead (The news post below Aerons) Link to comment
darkdreamingdan Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 yeah aeron is really lazy... mtama lacks documentation map2ipl and ipl2map also lack documentation (it couldve done with a guide on how to add them into SP, lots of people dont know) plus his xyz move dont have any either Link to comment
Si|ent Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 To be fair he's not lazy, he's put a lot of work into creating extremely useful applications. He just doesn't excel at documentation, I had to write the initial mtama instructions I think, way way back. (And correct most of the english in the first game-mode scripts hehe) Link to comment
orappa Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Writing a manual is hard enough, let alone in a language that isn't your native one. But I agree, a basic tutorial and the documentation of certain commands is essential. Link to comment
Aeron Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 1 line documentation: (mmove.exe source.map destination.map X Y Z) How hard is that? It even gives that if you do a wrong input. But some idiots (dont take this personally if you use it) are to stupid: So here a manual for the less advanced computer users: 1. Download the tool at: http://home.deds.nl/~aeron/maps/mmove.exe 2. Copy the map you want to mave to the same directory of mmove.exe 3. Do Start->run and type 'CMD' 4. Go to the directory you have placed mmove.exe 5. Type 'mmove ' 6. Hit 'Enter' 7. Go to the directory you have placed mmove.exe 8. Your destination file is there Link to comment
darkdreamingdan Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 lol okay bump @ aeron, see that wasnt hard was it? couldnt you have just put that into a readme.txt and supplied that with it? You may call them 'noobs' but by providing a very simple readme you'll prevent 100+ people coming to IRC on how to use the mass mover, ipl2map/map2ipl and mtaMA Link to comment
