How would I go about moving to a new map? would i do something like make tiles that when the user steped on them it would put them on the new map? would the code look something like this(note i know it will be wrong coding but its used as an example)

proc
newmap()
if(usr.loc = 1,3,1)then
usr.move(locate(2,5,2)
usr << "You feel a strange warmth in the cavern"


would it work out like that? also if that was what would happen would the new map show or would the first level overlap it?

No.
turf
    CaveEntrance
        name = "To Cave"
        icon = 'cave.dmi'
        icon_state = "cave"
        Entered()
            if (istype(src,/mob))
                src.loc = locate(/turf/cavetileinfrontofcaveentranceturf)


That's one way to do it. Just put the caveentrance somewhere then put cavetileinfrontofcaveentranceturf where you want the usr to enter.

Also, when you post some code, use the DM tags.
proc
    newmap()
        if(src.loc==locate(1,3,1))
            src.loc=locate(2,5,2)
            src << "You feel a strange warmth in the cavern"


That would be how your way should look. In which case you'd have to call newmap() somewhere.

Don't use usr in procs, especially Enter(), Entered(), Exit(), and Exited().

Thanks for reminding me. A bit braindead at the moment.

Sorry about being stupid, but would the src not be the cave entrance?

I have no idea what you just said.

Not with Entered()

Make a good map. Or it might be your login code.

Not with Entered()

Either way, usr and src both work.

Add return 1 to that tile's programming, at the end.

They forgot to add that.

It's currently returning 0, meaning that it queries the program to see if a mobile can move out of the tile and since it doesn't respond, it automatically thinks no.

Another thing I realized, you should be using ismob() instead of istype(src,/mob).

They're using Entered(), meaning the atom thats entering already has the Ok. They don't need return.Also, I'm pretty sure CIB is right about src being the turf.

Are you sure you set the map size correctly? In the map editor, goto 'Options>Set Map Size...' and choose the x,y, and z. If you have this set correctly, and you can map other areas, but can't get to them when you run the game, check your login code like someone else said. It's somewhat hard to 'Accidentally' only show 1 part of the map without the screen scrolling. If the screen does scroll, and there appears to be an invisable wall, check the density variables of the objects where you can't go.
