A map definition is very much like a .arena file from Quake 3. It defines
|
|||
|
|
the name of the map, what gameplay modes it supports, and how large it is
|
|||
|
|
(in bytes) at each quality mode.

Here's a sample one for Alpha Labs 1:
|
|||
|
|
<pre class="code">mapDef game/alphalabs1 {
|
|||
|
|
"name" "Alpha Labs Sector 1"
|
|||
|
|
"devname" "05-Alpha 1"
|
|||
|
|
"singleplayer" "1"
|
|||
|
|
"size0" "208322592"
|
|||
|
|
"size1" "208322592"
|
|||
|
|
"size2" "325950691"
|
|||
|
|
"size3" "470025492"
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
</pre>
|
|||
|
|
</td><td valign="top">
|

|
|
And a DM map to compare:
|
|||
|
|
<pre class="code">mapDef game/mp/d3dm5 {
|
|||
|
|
"name" "Lights Out"
|
|||
|
|
"Deathmatch" "1"
|
|||
|
|
"Team DM" "1"
|
|||
|
|
"Last Man" "1"
|
|||
|
|
"Tourney" "1"
|
|||
|
|
"size0" "93855710"
|
|||
|
|
"size1" "93855710"
|
|||
|
|
"size2" "156267217"
|
|||
|
|
"size3" "237413960"
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
</pre>
|
|||
|
|

The fields in this decl should be pretty easy to figure out, "devname" is the
|
|||
|
|
internal name that we refered to the map by. It was mostly used by the
|
|||
|
|
'takeViewNotes2' command, which probably doesn't work any more (it was used
|
|||
|
|
internally to help with finding bugs).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
A map can still be loaded for a specific game type, even if the mapDef doesn't
|
|||
|
|
have the game type listed, by specifying the map in the console. The game type
|
|||
|
|
is only used for listing maps in the create server and vote menus.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
The only hard part about creating a mapDef is specifying the sizes. The cvar
|
|||
|
|
"com_updateLoadSize" helps with this a lot. When that cvar is set to 1, the game
|
|||
|
|
will automatically update the size info in the map def after the map has loaded
|
|||
|
|
(it must not be set read only). After making a build, we would run a batch file
|
|||
|
|
that launched the game with com_updateLoadSize set, load a map, exit the game,
|
|||
|
|
repeat. We would do this for all 4 quality modes (though size0 and size1 tend
|
|||
|
|
to always be the same).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

Here's a snippet from the batch file:
|
|||
|
|
</p><pre class="code" style="overflow:auto; width:600px; height: 100px;">doom3.exe +com_updateLoadSize 1 +map game\admin.map +quit
|
|||
|
|
doom3.exe +com_updateLoadSize 1 +map game\alphalabs1.map +quit
|
|||
|
|
doom3.exe +com_updateLoadSize 1 +si_map game\mp\d3dm1.map +si_pure 0 +spawnserver +quit
|
|||
|
|
doom3.exe +com_updateLoadSize 1 +si_map game\mp\d3dm2.map +si_pure 0 +spawnserver +quit
|
|||
|
|
</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
The mapdef does not have to be in a def file. It can be in any file you want,
|
|||
|
|
even a material file! I would strongly suggest, though, creating <mymap>.def
|
|||
|
|
in the defs folder with a mapdef in it (along with any entityDefs or custom
|
|||
|
|
models you may be using).
