I made my map with Armabell. How do i fregging play it!!
been like 3(EDIT)6 months since ive made my racing map and i still got the slightest clue with what to do with this stuff. i used the map tools and "supposedly" turned it into a aamap which i dont think this is.
This is what came up when i turned it into an aamap.
<!DOCTYPE Resource SYSTEM "AATeam/map-0.2.8.0.dtd">
<Resource type="aamap" name="" version="" author="" category="">
<Map version="2">
<World>
<Field>
</Field>
</World>
</Map>
</Resource>
Can someone please what to do next? Oh and also can someone explain to me how to take off the cycles trail? im nooby at this stuff

You need to fill the above line in and place your map in ../resource/author/category/name-version.aamap.xmlDehato wrote:<Resource type="aamap" name="" version="" author="" category="">
It looks like you've set version = 0.0.2 and name = Racetrack (when you named the file), just fill in those spaces in the <Resource> tag. You also need to fill in the author (Dehato) and the category (racing?).
Then, to play the map, set map_file author/category/name-version.aamap.xml (which in your case will probably be map_file Dehato/racing/Racetrack-0.0.2.aamap.xml

Re: I made my map with Armabell. How do i fregging play it!!
The Resource bit should look more like this:
<Resource type="aamap" name="Racetrack" version="0.0.2" author="Dehato" category="Racing">
Also, just to be sure, it's all case-sensitive. So don't put it in a folder called "racing" if you put "Racing" as category, or vice versa. If it works it's because your file system is case-insensitive, but that doesn't mean it'll work if you send it to somebody with a case-sensitive file system.

Which links are broken? We can't do anything about unspecific problems.

Theres's a site to help you preview your maps here.Dehato wrote:Dude all those links were broken and im trying to find out how preview my map.

I'm not sure if it reads death zones though.
You could also always run it from a Local game though.

Already been linked to indirectly by sinewav, you really need to read through this page.
If it doesn't make sense read through it again till it does.
Most questions you will have are already answered there and on linked pages.
If you are having a problem with a specific part, ask again specific questions. You will be lucky to find someone to do all of the work for you.
And that ruby error you had on the maptools page was most likely because your map xml was badly formed - which you could fix when you understand that linked page in the wiki.
Map making can be a lot of fun, and it's really not that difficult once you understand the basics. Good Luck

If you're familiar with Crazy Tronners Wild Fortress you can view all its maps here.
It will also show you the xml code that makes up each map. Study the xml and look at the coresponding map image. This will help you learn from CT's mistakes
I would link you to the official resource repository which I think is http://beta.armagetronad.net but that appears to be down.
There is map transformer here which allows you to edit a map and preview an image of the resulting map on the fly. Very handy if building a map by hand.
