This name is also displayed in the menu below the map when the mouse is hovered. The parameter longname<\/em> is the actual, detailed name of the map and can be freely selected and contain color tags. It is also displayed below the map. The parameter type<\/em> determines which game types the map supports. The map is only displayed in the menu if one of the game types defined here is selected in the create menu! The possible values here are:<\/p>\n\n- ffa – Free For All<\/li>\n
- tourney – Tournament<\/li>\n
- single – Singleplayer<\/li>\n
- syc_ffa – Spray Your Color<\/li>\n
- lps – Last Pad Standing<\/li>\n
- team – Free For All Team<\/li>\n
- ctl – Capture The Lolly<\/li>\n
- syc_tp – Spray Your Color Team<\/li>\n
- bb – Big Balloon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
These are to be entered separated by a space. Please note that the BB redirect known from earlier versions was abolished with WoP 1.6, so now each BSP file needs a separate entry in the arena<\/em> file. Furthermore there is no single player game type in World of Padman. For Tournament there is no entry to select from the create menu, but the game type itself is available. All other information that might be known from Quake 3 Arena like bots<\/em>, timelimit<\/em> etc. have no further meaning in WoP because of the missing Singleplayer game type. They can therefore simply be omitted.<\/p>\nEmbedding level shots<\/h2>\n
Level shots are representative images of the map, which are displayed at different places in the game. But first of all a hint about the size of the level shots. For the sake of simplicity, these should correspond to the specifications in this tutorial, as this will give them the necessary minimum size, image format and the appropriate aspect ratio. Of course you can also use higher resolution images, but this may lead to longer loading times in the create menu. If the JPG format is used, the image should not be saved progressively and we recommend a compression between 94 and 98 percent. Image formats like TGA and PNG are also supported, but will increase the size of your PK3 file. If you reduce the size of the image material while creating the level shots, it can be useful to sharpen the result afterwards. For your map you need a total of three image files; a loading image, a selection image and a preview image.<\/p>\n
![\"Loading](\"https:\/\/worldofpadman.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/woptut_createmenulevelshots01-676x380.png\")
<\/a>Loading image (left), selection image (top right) and preview image (bottom right) as saved<\/p><\/div>\n
Loading image<\/h3>\n
The loading image is always displayed when the map is loaded. Please note at this point that since version 1.5 WoP uses the left part of the image to display the hints for the respective game type. This area should therefore be kept free. For further editing there is a useful image template levelshot_border.psd<\/em>, which can be found under XTRAS\/editing files<\/em> in custom levelshot files.zip<\/em>. Take a nice screenshot or otherwise become artistically active and insert the result as background into the template so that it appears on the title page of the WoP comic shown. Save the level shot in the JPG format 1024×1024 pxl (72dpi) under the name mymap.jpg<\/em>. in the folder levelshots\/<\/em> in the wop subdirectory. If the directory does not exist, you have to create it new. The aspect ratio of formerly 4:3 is then changed to 1:1, but is automatically corrected again in the game. If you do not create the loading image, a default image will be used in the menu for your map instead.<\/p>\n![\"Loading](\"https:\/\/worldofpadman.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/woptut_createmenulevelshots04-676x507.jpg\")
<\/a>Loading image in-game<\/p><\/div>\n
Selection image<\/h3>\n
Then there is the selection image that is displayed in the create menu for map selection. There is also a template add_to_card_border.jpg<\/em> under XTRAS\/editing files\/<\/em> in custom levelshot files.zip<\/em>. So again create an image of your choice and paste it into the white rectangle on the left side of the image. It is best to use the title page section from your loading image. Save the selection image under the name meinemapA.jpg<\/em> in the folder levelshots\/<\/em> in the wop subdirectory in JPG format 256×256 pxl (72dpi). The “A” at the end of the file name is important. The aspect ratio of formerly 4:3 is then changed to 1:1, but is automatically corrected again in the game. You can also omit the selection image, in which case the default loading image is used instead.<\/p>\n
