defining a proper automap tile

[bongobeat]

Hello,

I wonder if someone know how to, or have an example on how is defined an automapTile: e.g. the chasm automapTile.
Is there some definition somewhere in the asset pack? I didn't found one.

I want to make a new automap tile, at the moment I've something with a tile that use a custom floor without model, with a mapGraphic, that show a lava ground, but when I place a bridge over the tile, the bridge is not seen on the map.

Here's what can be seen:

Any idea on how to do that?

here is the tile definition:
the tile use a foor, that don't have a model, but a MapGraphic.

Code: Select all

defineTile{
	name = "drakeland_lava_floor",
	editorIcon = 192,
	color = {255,40,40,255},
	builder = "dungeon",
	wall = {
		"mine_elevation_edge", 1,
	},
	floor = {
		"lava_floor", 1,
	},
--	automapTile = "chasm",
}

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "lava_floor",
	baseObject = "base_floor",
	components = {
		{
			class = "MapGraphics",
			image = "mod_assets/grotto/lava_tile.tga",
		},
	},
	minimalSaveState = true,
}

Yes I need to do this as well with some new floor and other objects.

There's no way to make new automapTiles or automapIcons, and I don't think there's any feasible way to guarantee the order in which MapGraphicsComponents draw. Furthermore, MapGraphicsComponents always seem to draw after automapIcons, which in turn always draw after automapTiles (obviously).
Implementing a custom automap is sounding more and more appealing...

Hi Min. When you say appealing are you doing this with your mod? Ok I'm using the railroad tracks from the mine set and it would be nice if on the map it showed rail tracks ,but oh well a damm shame not to. Thxs for your reply though
