SA-MP Map editor: Tutorial (All SA-MP Versions Supported)
By: Fritz Date: August 30, 2013, 1:01 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Here's an alternative to MTA's basic map editor to one that's
more sophisticated and compatible with sa-mp's custom 0.3c
objects through 0.3e release. Originally posted for Cessil's
community and copied around several other samp forums as well.
Notice this just covers the basics if you have any questions
feel free to ask here or by pm.
Well I'm receiving many questions from the CS community on how
just to get started and where to download the tools need for
sa-mp mapping. Here I'll talk about some of the uses of the
editor and it's installation as well. Make sure you have WinRAR
to open the download pack found here: WinRAR Download

[s]|[color=black]Getting Started on editor.exe[/s]
[center][font=impact]Ok heres when you're on your own to
discover for the most part. You can open maps in two ways:
[glow=lime,2,300]�Import .pwn[/glow] to import a .pwn
extention file or [glow=lime,2,300]? Import Paste
[/glow]anything you copied (you pressed copy on a map
conversion, a text file, content on the internet). Now for
saving you can press [glow=lime,2,300]? Show Code[/glow] and
press [glow=lime,2,300]?Export .pwn[/glow] or copy everything
there (be sure you've pasted the content safely somewhere
because the editor will give no warnings to save your file when
you exit). Click [glow=lime,2,300]? HELP ME[/glow] to show the
instructions for using the map editor. Click
[glow=lime,2,300]Objects[/glow]/[glow=lime,2,300]+add[/glow]then
use the "Search for. . . " search bar to find an object by name
or use "IDE Number" to search for an object by it's ID. Once
you're done click[glow=lime,2,300]? add[/glow] and click the
object picture under Object Collection to insert it into map by
pressing [glow=lime,2,300]+Insert Object[/glow].
[shadow=lime,left]Movement[/shadow] changes object location and
rotation. [shadow=lime,left]Views [/shadow] just changes how you
view the objects ONLY in the Map Editor.[/font][/center]

[center][glow=lime,3,300][font=impact]mapping invisible objects
through collisions[/font][/glow][/center]
�[font=courier]Selecting invisible objects after you've
ran [glow=grey,2,300]editor.exe[/glow] and chose
[glow=grey,2,300]LOAD with COLLs[/glow][/font]
[center][font=impact]If you want to map invisible barriers,
rotating a road to it's opposite side isn't an efficient method
of mapping since the road's texture is visible when you get
close to the object, blocking the whole screen with textures.
What you want to do is add cessil's two invisible wall objects
created in 0.3e listed below:[/font][/center]
[list][li]IDE 19382
wall030 (larger wall)[/li]
[li]IDE 19374
wall022 (smaller wall)[/li]
[/list]
[center][font=impact]These objects have only collision data, no
textures so when finding them, there will be nothing displayed
or the last picture that was there will remain present. After
you have added them, your editor should have the two objects to
the right of your editor with no pictures attached to
them.[/font][/center]

�[font=courier]Enabling collisions to show[/font]
[center][font=impact]Now under the [glow=grey,2,300]Views[/glow]
tab (next to the [glow=grey,2,300]Object[/glow] tab) located to
the right of the editor, go all the way down until you find
[glow=red,2,300]? [/glow]Show colls check box in
red[glow=red,2,300]?[/glow]. Your editor should remove all of
the objects textures and assign every object one specific color
showing the collision shape of an object model. [/font][/center]

�[font=courier]Enabling Wireframe collisions to
show[/font][center][font=impact]Also you can map objects in a
different collision mode, [glow=red,2,300]? [/glow]WireFrame
colls, by checking the box in red[glow=red,2,300]?[/glow]. It is
what ever suits your tastes.[/font][/center]

HTML http://i49.tinypic.com/35n7es2.jpg[/img]
[center][font=impact]To return to the normal mapping mode, just
uncheck all the boxes you checked for collision. Also by
unchecking [glow=red,2,300]?[/glow]Show colls, you disable both
collision modes. [/font][/center]
