How would I go about linking maps to eachother? each are diffrent files but I don't want to go through all the trouble of recreating one map file and layering it wasting space. I would rather have diffrent map sizes than all the same size with a huge load of wasted space.

If you bound your maps, SwapMaps can do this quite effectively! Look it up in DM.libraries.

I don't beleive you'd be wasting space because I beleive that when you compile, the maps are placed together as different z levels, and as you may know, the maxx and maxy will increase to fit the largest map. I could be wrong though.

A good way to link maps together, is with my libary.
It allows you to call "teleports" by their points Example: StepA TAG="StepA" TAGTO="StepB" StepB TAG="StepB" TAGTO="StepA" That will easily find whatever map you want (as long as it's included) and will warp to that certain "point" on the map, using the advanced tag features. | |
which library and where?
[edit] never mind, found it on your BYOND member page. Still wondering just how it would work though... is a special type of turf verb required so when a person walks into it it switches to the other turf that its connected to? [edit edit] and FlameSage... how does that server2server work. I can't get any answers about byond passport or what it is. | |
Handy if you set the start area more than 1 square to, avoids unpredictable mob placement when theres someone already there :)

Can get a lil messy, but I guess Ill get better :)
