I searched the WIKI and didn't find anything. Anyone know how to changes maps after going through a travel volume? :confused:

Actually I don't think tds maps autochange. They are basically inventory items.

They are listed under EnterMissionInfo in properties for the EnterMissionInfo actors. I can assign and change them in the Entry.unr, but manipulating them in the EnterMissionActors in my actual levels has no affect. :p I looked at how they did it in the second Castle level in the OMs and it looks like they did the same thing I did, but it worked for them and not for me. :confused: I must be missing some small step in the process. :nono:

is it not one of those bizarre script things they have?
Like setting the "current" map page to a different number.

Ah! There it is under GlobalVariables. :D Thanks, Ziemanskye. I'll give that a go and see what happens.
edit:
Well, that didn't work. Any other ideas?

Getting the HDmaps to work is an absolute pain ... Just to get one map to work in the Bridge involved jumping through several hoops. However, I can't quite remember the exact steps ... :( I think I've purposefully erased them from memory.
However, IIRC you might need to set up new map numbers and names in the ini file, something along these lines:
Code:
[HandDrawnMaps]
HDMap_20=shalebridge
[HandDrawnMapNames]
HDMapName_20=T_HDMapNameShalebridge
and use the scripts to set the current map number at each time you enter a new location.

I didn't know you could make new map numbers! :wot: I thought they were hard-coded or something. My attempts at doing that failed, but I'll try it again. As is, I've hijacked existing maps and got those to work pretty well for my first map (including multilingual text), but I still can't change maps when I go to my second level. I'll keep plugging away. :erg:

Pardon the double post.
I'm pretty sure using new map numbers won't work because the map names are hard-coded and the game doesn't know which .dds files to look for, but I did get two maps to show at the same time. I'll do some more experimentation with that and try to write a tutorial for the WIKI.
