Design your own levels!

Post by PowerWyrm » Sun 05.09.2010, 22:47

With 1.1.5 beta comes a new way of designing dungeon levels manually:
- connect with the DM
- float down to the depth you wish to redesign
- enter DM command menu and choose Level Commands
- press "3" (enter manual design) to wipe the current dungeon level
- choose Building Commands
- press "1" (set feature) to choose a feature from the basic set of terrain features (see terrain.txt in /lib/edit for a full list)
- press "2" to place a feature at the current position, press "3" to draw lines, press "4" to fill a rectangle
- press "5" to switch auto-build mode on (this allows to draw features while moving)
- press "6" to switch auto-build mode off
- place one up staircase (feature #6) and one down staircase (feature #7)
- choose Level Commands
- press "4" (exit manual design) to save the manually designed dungeon level to a file (in /lib/save)
- shut the server down
- set MORE_TOWNS = true in mangband.cfg
- restart the server
... and now you have a new static level for your server! Really useful to design ironman towns...
