Map Labels

[aokces]

I'm pretty new to WML, and I'm wondering how to add Labels to certain tiles on my map. Thanks.

If you mean "How do I display a map?" Here's your answer:

Code: Select all

[map]agaggfsgasgasg
asgsdgsadgsagsgsfg
sagasdglkdlksh
ghaqlshgdafhg[/map]

becomes

[map]agaggfsgasgasg
asgsdgsadgsagsgsfg
sagasdglkdlksh
ghaqlshgdafhg[/map]

I've read the wiki thing already, but I don't understand the overall concept of where to go to edit/add the label codes. Is there another file thats created in addtion to the map file somewhere?

Yes. Map is one file, scenario CFG is another file. (The map is included from scenario CFG.) You write WML tags into scenario file. Something like this:

Map file:

Code: Select all

agaggfsgasgasg
asgsdgsadgsagsgsfg
sagasdglkdlksh
ghaqlshgdafhg

Scenario file:

Code: Select all

[scenario]
  map_data={map file}
  [label]
    x=20
    y=30
    text="The Dark Portal"
  [/label]
[/scenario]

Map file:

[scenario]
  map_data={map file}
  [label]
    x=20
    y=30
    text="The Dark Portal"
  [/label]
[/scenario]

With the exception that the scenario file is not "like that".

OK, this is a better example: (based on 2p_Blitz.cfg)

Code: Select all

[multiplayer]
  id=my_scenario
  name= _ "2p - My Scenario"
  description= _ "My multiplayer scenario. Recommended setting of 2 gold per village."
  map_data="{maps/multiplayer/my_map}"

  {DEFAULT_SCHEDULE}
  {DEFAULT_MUSIC_PLAYLIST}

  [side]
    [ai]
      villages_per_scout=8
    [/ai]
    side=1
    canrecruit=1
    controller=human
    team_name=north
    user_team_name= _ "teamname^North"
    fog=yes
  [/side]
  [side]
    [ai]
      villages_per_scout=8
    [/ai]
    side=2
    canrecruit=1
    controller=human
    team_name=south
    user_team_name= _ "teamname^South"
    fog=yes
  [/side]

  [label]
    x=20
    y=30
    text="The Dark Portal"
  [/label]
