Черное пространство – Mapping Reference Guide

Введение

Welcome to the mapping reference and guide for Black Space.

Black Space offers the possibility to create own maps. Since there is no included map editor, creating maps has been designed to be very simple. In conclusion maps consist of simple script config files that define map information and entities that are placed in the map.

Create a map

In order to create a map, simple go to the maps directory of the Black Space installation directory. In order to create a new map, simply create a .cfg file. You can prepend a “bs_” to the name if you want.

A map could then be located like this:

After that open the map with a text editor (we recommend Notepad++) and insert your basic map information commands.

Note that certain value such as the ones set with em_setmaxscore and em_settimelimit can be overwritten by the player when creating a new game.

It is important to set the map size. The map size is in units.

You don’t need to specify an environment music theme, это необязательно.

After setting your basic map information, you can then add commands to actually place entities into your map.

Add entities

The following commands exist in order to create entities.
