SW mapping with Mapster32 - now better than ever!

[Whirledtsar]

Recently, Ion Fury / EDuke32 dev Oasiz made a set of scripts and engine changes for Mapster32 that greatly improve SW compatibility. It's now a much better choice than SWMapster.

Additionally, Ive created a tiles.cfg file. This works with Mapster32 and I believe SWMapser as well. It separates tiles into various categories like brick, doors, gore, etc. This makes finding the right texture/sprite much, much quicker. Veteran mappers likely have many picnums memorized, but it should still be helpful.

The only problem with eduke32 / Napster32 is you need to be a programmer to fully mod with it these days. The better days you could hack along and have a good time.
Whats with "scripts" with the map editor? Isn't the editor a single exe to run and load up a map?

You can attach your tiles.cfg to the board post, can't you, instead of that cryptic URL?

Mapster32 apparently can load CON-style scripts to add more keys and contextual hints. Just install it in the same folder as the editor and theyll run automatically.

I dont see a place to attach a file. Dont worry though, Mega is a secure filehost and I dont plan on ever removing the download.

aw your right, no place to attach.....I forget what software is in front of me sometimes.

I never used anything of late of mapster32. Are the colors still messed up? Is it a single exe that I need? (plus the scripts?)
(I don't travel to the duke four forums at all).

Yep, just need the mapster32 exe and scripts in the same folder. The colors seem good to me. Just need to launch it with the commands "-g sw.grp -usecwd" to load the SW palette/lookups properly.
