Design own level?

Online, I see all sorts of crazy custom map shapes. How do I do this? (I am on a Mac.)

This wiki page explains it: http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php?title=Map_Making
Making maps yourself is kind of hard. If you just want to play the maps you saw on servers, you can just set the MAP_FILE configuration variable to the map; the correct value can be either retrieved from the "MAP_FILE changed from <default> to <value you want> on server order" message as you enter the server or by browsing your resource cache (somewhere in ~/Library/Application Support/Armagetron Advanced, you'll need to strip the beginning of the path up to and including 'automatic/').

OR! You can find iF on the forums and con him into making an armabell again, and compatible with mac!

I use armabell at this time right now!!! It works for me...

The catch: I am on windows.

LOL!

If you read Z-Man's rules post, you would notice that posts with the words like "LOL" are considered spam and should be removed with a ban from the forums. Explain your "LOL" post please.

[Ratchet]

I guess I deserve a ban... all I had to say was LOL!.

Rule 3 is FTL.


BUT! MAYBE! WAIT!

Rule 9 saves the day? Maybe?

Code: Select all

9. Don't be a rule lawyer. This list is incomplete and up for interpretation, and maybe just wrong in places.

[Z-Man]

Good old rule 9. Yeah, the LOL post would qualify as spam, but of course, that kind of spam only gets acted upon if it happens a little more than just once.

[Ratchet]

Awesome! Second chances are also FTW!

ON TOPIC! How's the map making going Mister? Get it working?
