This script merges maps.

Instead of a boring ol text thing, here is the result;
BRIDGEWAY or hallwars
I planned to do more examples, but this just blew me away;

hehe, I like it.
Now we can create even crazier maps on the HOMO servers
The only thing I don't like is the way the objects and tunnels get merged but I guess it's not possible to keep them like they where before.
Anyways good work

[thepolm3]

I've been trying to think of a way to merge tunnels n things :/
prob;em is, if you don't merge based on height you end up with a rubbish filler map instead of an new one whhich feels like both its ancestors. If I think Of something I'll let you know

[TB_]

So it takes the heightmap from one map and the colourmap from the other?

[thepolm3]

naaah that would suck. You'd get a map that looks like one thing but plays like another
what it does is merge both the height AND the colour - see bridgeway for an example

[shaz]

This thread needs more attention. Great script dude!

[thepolm3]

Thanks shaz!

[cow]

Huh, so it gets an average of both the color values and the height values?
The result looks amazing, definitely going on Sw, great work as usual!

[thepolm3]

tanks!

[shaz]

Just to ask is there any command by default to set this script on or off or will this need to be added ourselves?

[thepolm3]

the way it works is you put two maps in your rotation and then it will merge them when you advance. Press F1 to save as lastsav.vxl and then you have a map to play on your server

[shaz]

thepolm3, I was going to ask actually once a merged map is being played, if:

a). You use !map [mapname], only a single map will be played next right?
b). You add more than two maps in the rotation, thus it'll only choose one? (Or will it choose two randomly from the rotation)


I just need this clarified, thanks!

[thepolm3]

So basically it merges on advance, so if you have hallway, then advance to bridge wars, it will merge those maps. If you then advance to anticbridge, it will merge that with bridge wars, as that was the previous map.

[shaz]

Hmm.

So is there no way to be able to just use one map and also be able to use merging maps without having to unload the script?

[thepolm3]

What yiu do is merge 2 maps, do f1, and then use that as your map
