Gahen Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) I'm thinking about creating some maps, but there is a question I can not find solution for: - Is there a symmetry tool in the game? That would be the easiest way to ensure, that PvP maps are balanced, and one side does not get an unfair advantage unintentionally because of the map geometry.

As far as I know, there is no specific tool to do that. However, there are two things you could do: This is probably the worse out of these two, but the Random Map Generator that the Map Editor comes with has three options regarding map symmetry which are: Point Mirrored, Axis Mirrored and No Mirror. The issue with this is that you kind of need to hope the random map generator creates a map more or less what you had in mind. Option two is to create your own heightmap and import that into an empty map. A heightmap is basically an image of your map where pure white is the highest spot in your map and black is your lowest. You can very easily create a symmetrical image and import that, therefore having a symmetric map. The width/height of the image must be the same as the map size. You always have the measuring tool from the map editor that measures distance between two points, but yeah...

LagOps Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 a simple solution is to create a black and white texture on which power wells/orbs are marked in white and then use that as a mask for another texture ingame. everywhere you see that texture is where a power well is supposed to be. In terms of actual map symetry, i draw an inital rough hightmap in gimp and modify it a bit. the map will be roughly symetrical this way. you can also use that map later on as a mask such that you can get the playable area right.

Ladadoos Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) I guess it fits best here. Has some irrelevant things in there, but should still be a solid piece. BattleForgeScripting.docxhttp://battleforge.wikia.com/wiki/BattleForge_Wiki The wiki has useful information (although not always correct): Card ID's, conditions, all about commands (description, type of arguments etc...) Once you're comfortable, I would highly suggest to look at some official PVE maps as some have script elements that are covered nowhere.

Emmaerzeh Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) I found some old tutorials. Some are in german but, if someone is interested they can use translate or somebody translate it for the community. Pls @MephistoRoss add it to the first post as a link. TY To make scripting of maps a little bit easier, attached you will find a tag list of all functions in BattleForge. To use to, follow the steps: - Download the attached file - Download, install and start UltraEdit - CTRL+F8 - Rightclick into the tag list > Modify Tags - Browse to the downloaded file - OK The tag list on the right hand side should now show all functions including needed parameters cointained in BattleForge. Have fun!

Emmaerzeh Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Ok since Ultraedit is not free , here is an alternative: Thx to @Zorscy sharing his scriptlist for notepad++ snippets plugin. Thx a lot. In notepad++ - you go to expansions - plugins- there you check "snippets" and click install. Then you rightclick in snippets dropdownmenue and choose "import libary. then u choose the 5 files attached here in the zip. Now you can choose the commands form the list and notepad++ will write the scripts for you.

Ladadoos Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Not sure if anyone already added/mentioned this, but there is also: BattleForgeScripting.docx Keep in mind that some of the tools in this tutorial we don't have, but the scripting part itself should be a decent read regardless.
