[Resolved] quik question

is there a hash or array containing all maps? I'm not sure, but I don't think so...?

No, there isn't. It's loaded from the map rxdata file. From Game_Map:

    @map = load_data(sprintf("Data/Map%03d.rxdata", @map_id))

okay, good. then i don't have to do any extra work.

Note that this file contains an array, where the indexes are the map IDs and the elements are RPG::MapInfo objects. In this object, the only thing you will really use (i guess) is <RPG::MapInfo>.id and <RPG::MapInfo>.name (both are properties, and they´re self-explanatory, aren´t they? ^^). So, in the ccoa´s case, @map will contain an Array, so keep this in mind.

No, what you mean ist MapInfos.rxdata
The actuall map-file, which is loaded in ccoas example is a table, a 3d-Array containing the tiles on the three layers.

MapInfos.rxdata contains a hash with the keys as map ids, and RPG::mapinfo as the values.

What ccoa should you is exactly how to get all the map data you set in the database (RPG::Map). It returns a RPG::Map object. The table that MM is talking about is actually what ccoa should you, plus .data. That gives you the 3D array of tile data.

load_data('Data/MapInfos.rxdata').each do |map_id, mapinfo|
  rpgmap_data = load_data(sprintf("Data/Map%03d.rxdata", map_id))
  # You now have access to mapinfo and rpgmap_data
end

That will pass through every map in your game, in no real order. If you wanted it to pass starting with map 1 and going to your last map...

map_infos = load_data('Data/MapInfos.rxdata')
for map_id in map_infos.keys.sort
  map_info = map_infos[map_id]
  rpgmap_data = load_data(sprintf("Data/Map%03d.rxdata", map_id))
  # You now have access to mapinfo and rpgmap_data
end

Maybe I am wrong, but I think some people need to refresh their resources. :yes: jk.

O_o, golly...

Well, I'll try. And once again I have learned something new ^^

Erm, sorry i forgot that lol xD I need to script something to get to my old "shape" -_-

I posted something without reading properly the entire thread. But MapInfos contains a list of all the maps that your game has, so it would be useful. Use SS´s example, it should work (despite its scary code for beginners lol)

 

[Aran]

lol, I understand it clearly ^^. I've been practicing too long to be a complete "beginner",
