With a map editor which supports adding the white * not sure that we have one though?

Maybe [MENTION=12653]SmavidDavid[/MENTION] will know.

hmm well iv got 2 versions of map edit

mapedit 1.1 and MapEditNewFormat

but when adding objects in the new version they have multicolour tiles under the added object so what iv been doing is making the maps in the old editer an converting them as u cant use the old maps on 2.6 iv had a poke around in the add atrribute and the only thing i can fin that adds the * is light but im unsure if this allows you to enable fishing

have you any ideas on adding th big province maps i know how to add mini maps successfully but not a clue on these

The light is the correct method of adding fishing. The light levels need to be 100 or 101. Depending on the style River/ocean, i cannot remember which one is which though.

A quick way of doing this is make up a block consisting of 5 stars in each direction
eg;
* * * * *

or

*
*
*
*
*

The bold being where you click. You could do this with one, but i like to keep mine similar to korean where they go back abit more than 1 spot ( i think otherwise players may have to click directly on rivers edge.

As you go to place them turn on attributes and click away on the edge attribute, not the river line. If theres a blank square of attributes infront of light it will not work.


Regarding big maps, i think they are 25% or 15%? of the minimap? Im not sure there, i never do that side of map making :L

Hope this helps! I would go into it more on fishing, but i got manflu so im back to bed.


Thanks [MENTION=947]Tai[/MENTION] for tag!! i feel soo loved! <3
