Viewing your map. How?

[MGeo]

I have WRPEdit. Since i am a newbie to this i don't know how to view any map in the game. Can you tell me how to view a map that i have made?

[Planck]

Once you have your island made all you need is a config.cpp for it, then you pbo them together and put the resulting pbo file in your addons folder.

So, you have:

yourisland.wrp
config.cpp

Put both files in an appropriately named folder by themselves, then.......
Use stuffPBO to pbo them.

Put the pbo file in Addons.

Ok. But how to create that config.cpp ?

[Planck]

Tell me 3 things and I can cook one up for you pronto.

1./   The name you want to see in the Editor island selection list.

2./   The name you will call your PBO file.

3./   The name of your WRP file.


Planck

[MGeo]

Ok.
A example will be good for me.

OK here:

1./  The name you want to see in the Editor island selection list.
Testmap

2./  The name you will call your PBO file.
Testmap

3./  The name of your WRP file.
Test.wrp

Well the map is a little test i am doing.

Thnx.

Hope this helps you a bit.

OK thnx man. But i am alittle confused.

Damn i didn't had to add all the same names.  :-\
*Crashing my head into a wood*

Can you add the names like this.

Sorry for that.

1./  The name you want to see in the Editor island selection list.
Nameone
2./  The name you will call your PBO file.
Nametwo
3./  The name of your WRP file.
Namethree.

 

Sry again.

[Planck]

The name you wish to appear in the Editor list goes in this part:

description="Testmap";


The PBO name goes in the following parts:

class CfgPatches
{
   class Testmap

and:

worldName="\Testmap\Test.wrp";


The WRP file name also goes in:

worldName="\Testmap\Test.wrp";

and also in:

class CfgPatches
{
   class Testmap
   {
      units[] = {};
      weapons[] = {};
      worlds[] = {"Test"};

and:

class CfgWorldList
{
   class  Test{};
};
