Good use for testing maps

[tonybbb]

Ok this software lets you make maps and even does the codes for you but you have to change the author to whatever name you want and right click and then click save but you have to have a xml reader and save it in there but you have to convert that map into a aamap so and go to http://crazy-tronners.com/maptools.php And then upload your map [whereever you saved it upload it and it will give you the heading so where it says <!DOCTYPE Resource SYSTEM "map-0.2.8_beta3.dtd"> change it to what it says on the crazy trooners. Download here.

Why have I never used wine before?
After being a long time windows user I have certain apps that have necessitated the need for a dual boot system.
A lot of my favourites I now have on my ubuntu 7.04 with a simple apt-get install wine.

Back to the point. You can also run these apps (armabell map editor and armabell text colour program) seemingly flawlessly with:
wine aps.exe armabellmaped.exe
or
wine aps.exe armabelltextcolors.exe
I'm assuming the map editor will be as buggy as it was on windows, you can't blame wine for that. Save often.

And with this map editor you will still need to read the wiki and understand how to edit it by hand.
notepad++ is a good windows text editor. It also works with wine

edit: After rereading the original post here it implys that after making the map with armabell map editor you then need to run it through the ct maptools page to make it into a usable map. This is not the case. Take it there to view a preview image of the map if you wish, or to convert from svg to aamap format. But not to convert a map made with armabell into an aamap - it already is one.

Don't forget Programmer's Notepad:

Particularly helpful for people who like Kate in linux and have to switch between the two.

Open it in a text editor and modify it.

So what's this all about?

you have to convert that map into a aamap so and go to http://crazy-tronners.com/maptools.php And then upload your map [whereever you saved it upload it and it will give you the heading so where it says <!DOCTYPE Resource SYSTEM "map-0.2.8_beta3.dtd"> change it to what it says on the crazy trooners.

It's a very strange way of saying:
At the top of the file find the line that says:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE Resource SYSTEM "map-0.2.8_beta3.dtd">

And change it to:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE Resource SYSTEM "AATeam/map-0.2.8.0.dtd">
