Title: Proper Map Room settings ... which is right?
Post by: Sky Viper on December 07, 2001, 08:59:00 AM
I notice that the Object Groups for the towns have the MAPTBL1 set to Maproom and the MPRM1 set to Void.
I always thought the table would be the void.

Does it matter?

Yes it matters. The maproom is used to display the objects on the table.

It can be a little confusing, but just think of the MPRM1 as the Building or Area that holds the MAPTBL1.  You could use a Hanger if you wanted to.

You need the MAP TABLE if you want to see the terrain map.  Try replacing the MAPTBL1 shape with a 20MM shape and you'll see what I mean when you go into the MapRoom in the game.
You could remove the MPRM1 but it wouldn't look good.

Pokie,
Yeah, I get the concept...I guess I just forgot to apply the HT logic of calling the table a room and the room a void.  :)
I was thinking Room=Room. Too easy that way I guess.

I knew you did   :cool:  just added extra info for any newcomers checking out the board like I did in my rookie days.

Hmmm...  how long does it take, to no longer be a rookie?     :D    
I know you never stop learning while using the editor.   :eek:
