Now that we have both X and Y axis scrolling. I think it's time we go more in depth into the scrolling features.

First, how do you put in Scrolling into your map?

First, copy the XML (First click "Save / Load / Test" then click "Copy map to clipboard")

<C><P /><Z><S /><D /><O /></Z></C>

See where is says "<P />" after the start? This is where you will be placing anything ralated to scrolling. (And most other stuff.)

X axis Scrolling Map <P L="1600" />
Y Axis Scrolling Map <P H="800" />
X and Y Axis Scrolling Map <P L="1600" H="800" />
Defilante Map <P defilante="-1,-1,-1,1" L="4800" />
Defilante Map H="800" <P defilante="-1,-1,-1,1" L="4800" H="800" />

Note: Press space + click/drag to move the map around in the Map Editor! This can be done without scrolling but is most usefull in scrolling maps!

Note: H="800" is the Max height your map can get. This includes L="1600" with an exception for Defilante

Note: Y axis scrolling has been added to the game as of 23-10-13 :D

Let's take a look at the scrolling boundaries



This is basically a venn diagram of the Map Editor, except in a scroll of L="1600" and H="800"

The Lines show WHERE the map will stop scrolling in which direction.
~These Include~

X=0-400
X=1200-1600 (or 4400-4800 for Defilante)
Y=0-250
Y=650-800

The corners show where NON of the map is scrolling!

The Blue Box shows WHERE the map will ALWAYS be scrolling in any which direction.

Bug Facts!
You can not connect items in below the top scrolling point as shaman in H="#" maps.
Totems don't spawn with connections off the 800 X axis is L="#" maps!

So to confirm, you can make vertical scrolling maps now? Oh and could you help me with the full code of one? Thanks ^-^

Yes you can

And no, follow the dirrections in the OP, if I just GIVE you a scroll map code, you don't learn anything, and you end up being less creative with it.

Follow these dirrections and you should be good. Place H="{Scroll H}" or L="{Scroll L}" between the <P /> in your XML code.

Alright fair enough, and try this in map editor, it's a cool trick c:
<C><P F="6" L="1600"/><Z><S /><D /><O /></Z></C>

If it helps I can provide video directives once my laptop gets back from the shop if it helps

Ooh nice. Thank you!~~

Updated the thread with a new side note!

DO you know how to make a long defilante map that doesn't scroll for u?

Uhh i tried holding down space and clicking and dragging but it didn't work

~Update~
Tig added H="800" into defilante maps, check the OP for any errors if you'd like.

^That is so cool!

I use laptop cuz my desktop is too laggy, so... would be cool if you could just click and drag the boundaries just an idea XD

Thanks :D

Btw, I always need a mouse too to move it xD

well when making any kind of scroll map, you're gonna have to use your cursor to drag the map around lol

i'll be waiting for when the height can exceed 800 :p
