Need help testing a made map? Read this!

Post by Blaze »

First (Where To Save?) - Go to Armagetron folder and go into resource, you should see a folder called included DONT GO IN THERE! instead create a folder named ur profile, for example "Dave", inside that folder make another named whatever catagory your using, for example "HighRubber" Then save your file in there.

Second (Naming?) - make your map, name it "w/e ur name map-1.0.1.aamap" for example "HR-1.0.1.aamap"

Third (Map File Configuration?) - Next go into your map file, but open it with notepad. Next, fix the top of the list, ("name=abmap" change it to your map name for example "name=HR", next you'll see "author=Duke-Nukem" replace it with your account name, example "author=Dave", next you'll see "catagory=polygon/regular", change it to your catagory, for example "catagory=HighRubber".

Fourth (Test My Map?) - Go back to the main Armagetron Folder, and access into the "config" folder, and open settings in notepad. Go down to where it says "defaults" erase the "Anonymous/polygon/regular/square-1.0.1.aamap.xml" and replace it with yours,
(authors name/catagory/map name-1.0.1.aamap.xml), for example... "Dave/HighRubber/HR-1.0.1.aamap.xml" without the "" ... next, save both the settings and your maps configurations. Exit all of them...open Armagetron Advanced, and go to "Local Game" you will then be able to test your map!

All of this, too confusing for you? Try an easier version!, here! (Thankyou Dakun and all of the DD clan)
