I am trying to make my first game and am having a problem with the map. Here is my current code...

mob
icon = 'person.dmi'
var
hp = 10
str = 5
def = 2

turf
grass
icon = 'person.dmi'
icon_state = "grass"

turf
water
icon = 'person.dmi'
icon_state = "water"
density = 1

world
name = "My First Game."
turf = /turf/grass

Here is the error...

loading tutorial.dme
tutorial.dme:16:unable to open "world.dmp".


tutorial.dmb - 30 errors, 0 warnings (double-click on an error to jump to it)

The map file DOES exist but I get this error. what does it mean and how can I fix it? I haven't even been able to access the map at all yet.
okay dude,

world
name = "Your Game"
hub = "YourKey.YourHub"
view = 10 //it can be any number between 1-10
turf = /turf/grass //this makes your default map grass, or should anymways





well thats how it is on my game and it seems to work. But it should be in the tutorial, plus your current code, i can't believe your not getting an error like "Inconsistant Indentation" or something. well anyways, thats it, and have fun with the game making, plus if you want anyhelp with host etc, give me a ring.

Thanks a ton. Oddly enough I just changed the map name to area and it worked... Wierd... thanks again. BTW: Do you know of any text-based game creation tuts? thanks, Tim

umh yea, there not tutorials though, they're demos, um, what are you looking into though? verbs? mobs? etc etc, um just go to the section to the left in the 'Resources' labeled 'Demos' then look around for some MUD or TBG items.

text base games do not need a map... Really.
Also, use
<dm>
tags, will ya?

 tags?  I haven't even finished a game yet...  what are <dm> tags?/

dm tags make your code appear like they do in dreammaker itself. As you probably noticed. Close it by typing</dm >.
