Locations

The locations (also known as areas) are a group of screens that usually represent a specific gameplay or style. Each location have a name, start, end, introduction trigger screen.

Location example

Adding a location

  1. Navigate to the Locations page.

    Locations page

    If you are in the Screens page, you can click on the location name above Screen 1 (or whatever screen are you on).

    Locations link in Screens

  2. Click on the Add new location button on top-right side of the page.

  3. A prompt will pop up asking you to write the location details (location name, start, unlock and end screen), here’s how it should look like when done:

    Add location

  4. Click Add to add it on the location list.

  5. Once done, you should be seeing a new location in the page.

Changing or removing a location

From the Locations page, you can simply expand the location of your choice and edit them freely. Using the Delete button will get rid of your location area (all your details in the Screen page will be untouched, as this is just for the GUI).

Steps (without Worldsmith)

Adding a location

To add a location:

  1. Write down the screen numbers that you want to be part on a location.
  2. Nagivate to gui and open location_settings.xml.
  3. If this is the first time, should see something like this:
     <?xml version="1.0"?>
 <LocationSettings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
     <locations>

         <Location>
             <start>1</start>
             <end>1</end>
             <unlock>1</unlock>
             <name>YOUR_LOCATION_NAME</name>
         </Location>

     </locations>
 </LocationSettings>

    If this is not the first time, paste the following snippet below the closing tag of the latest location.

         <Location>
         <start>1</start>
         <end>1</end>
         <unlock>1</unlock>
         <name>YOUR_LOCATION_NAME</name>
     </Location>
  4. Replace the start value with the first screen of your location.
  5. Replace the unlock value with the screen that you want to trigger the location title to show up.

    If you don’t want the location title to show up, simply put 0 as a value.

  6. Replace the end value with the last screen of your location.
  7. Replace YOUR_LOCATION_NAME with the name of your new location.

Since this is supposed to be a linear location grouping method, if you trigger a later present location, the middle locations won’t be triggered.

Make sure your location always ends before starting another one! This can cause problems later on if ignored.

Removing a location

To remove a location:

  1. Find what is the name of the location you are looking to remove.
  2. Nagivate to gui and open location_settings.xml.
  3. Remove the entire Location tag where the name equals to the location you want to remove.

Earthquake effect

Steps (without Worldsmith)

Adding and removing the earthquake effect on a screen

To add the earthquake effect on a screen:

  1. Write down the screen number(s) where you want to have the earthquake effect.
  2. Nagivate to gui and open earthquake_settings.xml.

  3. By default there’s only one screen set to 0, so it will never trigger. Like the following example:

     <?xml version="1.0"?>
     <EarthquakeSettings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
         <screens>
             <int>0</int>
         </screens>
     </EarthquakeSettings>

    To add earthquake effects, you will need to paste the following and replace SCREEN_NUMBER with each screen number.

     <int>SCREEN_NUMBER</int>

To remove an earthquake effect on a screen:

  1. Find the screen that you want to remove the effect.
  2. write down the screen number.
  3. Nagivate to gui and open earthquake_settings.xml.
  4. Remove the entire line where the screen number is present.
