Hi there !

I've just added a new travel trigger to an existing map (without any trouble), using this tutorial :
http://forums.gibber...?showtopic=6031

My question : At the moment, I'd like to add it a new entrance. But there's no tutorial for this and I'm just learning weidu language, so I'm afraid of getting loads of errors. How to add an entrance to an existing map, in tp2 file ?

(sorry for my poor English :S)

Thank you a lot !!!

This does both; adds a travel area and its corresponding entrance.

There's also the fj_are_structure function shipped with WeiDU. Check the readme, the Macros Listing section.

Another usage example.

Two methods for the price of one :-D !! That's great, both work fine !!!! Thanks guys !

Sorry for double post.

I have a problem with the travel between the existing area (AR0411) and my own area (QQGLY1).
The game crashes with the message : "An Assertion failed in ChVidImage.cpp at line 6134. Programmer says : Tile data accessed when not loaded".

baldur.log says :

---------------------Start Logging Session---------------------

Run Debugger?

I used Macro method to create an entrance and trigger travel in AR0411 (see the code below), and I also made it (with IETME) in QQGLY1. Others AR0411 travel triggers were deactivated by scripts.

COPY_EXISTING ar0411.are override
  LPF fj_are_structure
    INT_VAR
    fj_type         = 2    //travel
    fj_box_left     = 3295
    fj_box_top      = 2974
    fj_box_right    = 3623
    fj_box_bottom   = 3244
    fj_cursor_idx   = 30   // door
    fj_flags        = 516  // party required, NPCs can't pass
    fj_vertex_0     = 3295 + (3076 << 16)
    fj_vertex_1     = 3407 + (2974 << 16)
    fj_vertex_2     = 3623 + (3144 << 16)
    fj_vertex_3     = 3464 + (3244 << 16)
    STR_VAR
    fj_structure_type   = region
    fj_name             = QQTRGLY1 // region name
    fj_destination_area = QQGLY1      // *.ARE
    fj_destination_name = QQGLYEN          // entrance name
  END
  LPF fj_are_structure
    INT_VAR
    fj_loc_x       = 3271
    fj_loc_y       = 2950
    fj_orientation = 6   // NW
    STR_VAR
    fj_structure_type = entrance
    fj_name           = QQ411EN
  END

An idea ?



EDIT : everything is working now, IETME just failed on saving my QQGLY1.are.
