I tried following the tutorial here, but nothing appears in game. Not even the example. Only
levels/campaign.hwm
levels/defense.hwm
I tried putting a folder in this levels folder, as well as in the editor folder (as the guide says).
-
The editor can just open the .xml files
-
I can open the levels just fine in the editor. I can test run the levels just fine in the editor.
But when I try to play it for real (in the game), they don't appear.
-
Just use the LevelPacker, drag and drop your entire level folder on the .exe
-
Ah, thank you!
-
What is required for that to work? What are the minimum requirements for it to pack a .hwm? And on top of that, I have a .hwm that is not showing up in the game either :/ (But Greywatch, Doom 1.4, etc show up just fine)
-
the maps can be started in debug mode... i dont know what the other's did, so that the map can be loaded in normal mode. :-\
-
All the level packer should need is a folder containing a correct info.xml and a level.xml. Also every level referenced in the level.xml must exist.
-
i have a simple map and didn't change much of the example .xml files.
the levelpacker also packs the level without error and gives me a levelfile as expected. but i can only see it in menu, when i open it from debug gamemode.
i don't see the difference between the levels .xml files from some games i can play and mine.
here's the code:
<levels start="1">
<act name="lvl.act1">
<level id="1" res="levels/TheUnseenLands_Shipwreck_1.xml" name="lvl.floor?floor=1" />
</act>
</levels>

And you put the .hwm in your levels folder? You can post the .hwm and I'll take a look if you want.
-
thanks for taking the time!
i know there is a big chance that i only did something wrong and not able to find it...
here is the .hwm, info and -level.xml and also the editormap

i put the according .hwm into to the levels folder in the main hammerwatch folder. i still can only access the map via debug mode.
-
it actually works for me now.
i did not change anything. only copied some other maps out of the folder? they somehow clash with each other?
i dont know, but the map is shown now. ::)

I don't have these files and I don't know why.
