== Guidelines ==

You can build a map for TMW using [http://tiled.rpgdx.net Tiled]

* Suggested map size: usually maps should be 200x200 at max
* Tile size: 32x32
* Map border: you have to leave an empty border around the map of at least 30 tiles
* Walls/players proportions: a normal door for a player is 2 tiles in height
* Indoor/Outdoor proportions: it is not required that inside view of buildings has to fit the size in outside view
* Path reference: please use tmw folder structure to keep references to tilesets working
* Transparent color: tilesets use alpha so no need to set a transparent color
* Layers: each map uses 4 layers: ground, objects, over and collision (names are only suggested)
** Ground: esed for everything below items and beings.
** Objects: this layer is drawn simultaneously with items and beings, where tiles above a being are drawn below the being and tiles below the being are drawn above. Hence this layer is suitable for adding static objects to a map like plants or statues.
** Over: usually used for walls or high objects. Each tile in this layer is always above items and beings.
** Collision: this is a special layer for which you have to use the collision tileset. Use the 'X' tile where you want a tile to be unwalkable. Be careful that even if a tile is not reachable, but it's walkable, the server can spawn monsters there, so you want be able to reach them, or you can cause weird situations. For example fill a wall with 'X' tiles, not only the borders, or you could have monsters spawning inside the wall.
* TMW doesn't support layer data compression, so disable it in Tiled: Edit -> Preferences -> Saving -> Compress layer data should not be checked

In a good style of mapping, please always use the lowest layer as possible (this interests also perfomances).

== Error and suggestions ==

If you encounter a map error, big or small, please add it to this list so that eventually a mapper can pick it up and include it the next time the map gets updated. Also feel free to add suggestions.

==== The desert area below town (1-1) ====

* Some Walls have to be retested to the west against the left hill. The character has sometimes a strange behaviour while walking along that wall, and that doesn't seem to be linked with the map. Or am I wrong?
:This has most probably got something to do with that the edge of the world comes in sight, all sprites have this "strange behaviour". --[[User:Modanung|Modanung]]
::Yes, handling of map border case needs to be fixed. --[[User:BjÃ¸rn|BjÃ¸rn]] 14:58, 18 Jul 2005 (CEST)

==== Tulimshar (3-1) ====

* The large empty area at 44,34 in new_3-1 is reserved for the city's "palace", but we need a tile artist to start drawing the necessary tiles for this.

==== The Underground Palace (5-1) ====

* The wall at 59,89 hides the Players head ;) Stand on 59,90
:I looked into the tmx file and it is marked unpassable, so it must be the drawing.

* (Palace Level 2) Stand on 45,31 - Tile incorrectly not covering the player

==== The Eastern Desert (?) (7-1) ====

* Contains 2 cave entrances that lead to yet to determine caves.
* Exit to the south east determined?

''No known errors.''

==== Casino (?) (8-1) ====

* Bar table is lower layer, characters can walk on it

==== Woodland (?) (9-1) ====

* Some tiles are walkable although they shouldn't be. (Or it is a client layer specific thing) 87,75 - 90,75
* There is an error in the trunk of this tree: [[Image:woodlandmapbug3.jpg|100px]]
* Rock in "top level"(?) at coords [81,67].
