[shux]

hi there,

i went to wiki but it seems outdated on this subject. I've also heard something about using illustrator?

I'm gonna want to know how to do these things:

1. Circular map
2. Sumo Zone
3. Spawn Zone

thanks in advance.

hi there,

i went to wiki but it seems outdated on this subject. I've also heard something about using illustrator?

I'm gonna want to know how to do these things:

The two generally supported Vector editors are Inkscape and Illustrator. Inkscape has a Mac OS X port, but unfortunately it runs in X11.app. Basically you export a SVG file from Inkscape/Illustrator and run it through svg2aamap.

1. Circular map

Create a circle element :)

2. Sumo Zone

A sumo zone is just a fortress zone. Create a “fortress-zones” group, and put circle elements in it

3. Spawn Zone

Sorry, only possible in Inkscape.

I'll work out a SVG2AAMap wiki page with more details. For now see the original thread -> [aaforums:6311]

but a spawn zone is easily added manually all you need is a point and start direction.
should look like this in your .xml or something similar to this. x and y are your bike start position and xdir and ydir are your start direction. easy.
<Spawn x="100" y="0" xdir="10" ydir="0.0" />

and for nemostultae im working on a tutorial for map making on inkscape. ill let you know when its done.
