Whats wrong with this custom map entity:

[Bikerdude]

Obs gave me this but the model isnt appearing in-game.

 

entityDef atdm:map_alberic
{
   "inherit"		      "atdm:map_base"
   "editor_usage"   "The map of Alberics Church"
   "model"	          "models/darkmod/readables/scroll_rolled_up.lwo"

   "inv_name"	    "Church Map"
   "inv_icon"		  "guis/assets/hud/inventory_icons/scroll_tied_up_icon.tga"
   "gui"			      "guis/map_of_church.gui"
}

Its spawnclass is idStaticEntity, just in case this may help finding the reason for the model spawnarg (in the def) to be ignored.

No experience of this I admit, but the wiki suggests you need separate entities for the inventory map and the visible model in the mission.

[grayman]

Is this a map that you find in the mission, pick it up, and it becomes a map in your inventory?

[Bikerdude]

yes

[grayman]

The process is explained on the wiki that SteveL linked to.

 

If you want an example, Home Again has a few. One is the scroll ("SewerMap") in the Evidence Room of the City Watch station. Examine both the mission map in DR, and the script ("void FrobSewerMap()") that exchanges the frobbed scroll model for the map.

[Bikerdude]

ta.

Trying to find the wiki entry on how to have multiple pages in the in-game map.

[grayman]

That should be handled by the map gui. I can't look atm, but do we have a map gui template for more than one page? If not, it shouldn't be hard to create one.

[Bikerdude]

Might have to look at a mission with a multi-page map instead.

[Obsttorte]

Maps have one page by default. Instead there are several maps used by default. But a map with several pages may be doable.

 

EDIT: You would have to change the gui so it includes the commands needed for pageturning.

[Bikerdude]

I thought we had a few mission with multiple pages already..?

[SteveL]

Are they multi page though, or just multiple maps like Obs said? I guess that when you press 'm' to cycle between pages, that's actually multiple maps. You could have the frob script on your in game entity add a couple more maps to the inventory after it swaps out the first one.

[Obsttorte]

There are definetely multiple maps, as the gui used for maps does not support multiple pages.
