hey guays, just wondering, how to add maps?

If you have a map designed already, and you only want to add this, in short, you have to:
1) Save this map as a lava map /savelavamap [mapname] or manually copy the map to 'lava\maps' directory.
2) Add a valid entry to 'maps.txt' file that is located in 'lava' directory. It's easiest to explain it on example:

If your map is named 'mymap.lvl' then name attribute should be equal to 'mymap'. Set phase1 and phase2 both to 0, as 0 is default and tells the server to use global time settings. You can set the author for the map, but it is not obligatory. But you definately have to set Source, and Source describes the source of the lava(or water). Keep block attribute equal to 'ahl' (active_hot_lava), but change x,y,z coordinates. X,y,z indicates the posistion of the block placement. You should go in your map and find a spot that is best for the start of lava flood, then to get coordinates of the point. To get coordinates you should use /about command. Both type and delay attributes keep same as in the example below.

Code: Select all

<Maps>
(...)
  <Map name="mymap" phase1="0" phase2="0" author="">
    <Source block="ahl" x="39" y="62" z="39" type="" delay="0" />
  </Map>
</Maps>


3) Now use '/setlava reload maps' command or restart the software, and that's it! You just added a new level

Thank you Dzienny! That was really helpful!

where to find the AHL?

Hey, i was wondering why i could only add 1 new lava map to my server...i followed the steps above and got it working but when i tried it a second time it didnt work...any ideas?

you have to do this steps for EVERY map you want. i have about 10 maps added and all are working.
so make sure you follow this steps for every map and dont make spelling mistakes when writing the code.

Hint:

Just copy and paste the code of the previous added code, and then change the name and times etc.

Good Advice. +1

P.S. If you want to avoid doing this either download stable settings or download the map pack for all maps in Lava Maps section.

my console says map: "mymap" wasn't found. Im having alot of trouble adding maps can somebody help me i dont get directions.

If you added a new map while server was up, do /setlava reloadmaps then /setlava map -mapname-

Otherwise idk what you are asking ._.
