Tilesets, maps and scenarios explanation?

[acoyauh]

I don't get the difference between maps, scenarios and tilesets.
I play an older version of Glest, and I downloaded all there was of all three, and basically they were all playable...
So how does it work?

Maps are maps. Scenarios are already set up games (basically). (Now they're (hopefully) going to be more than that...) Tilesets are the objects that go on the map, and the textures that go on the terrain (Tilesets are actually basically terrains...) .

Cool, thanx :?:  What's gonna be the news with the scenarios? Storylines? STORYLINES AT LAST? That'd be cooooooooooooool

BTW, Are signatures disabled in the forum or what?

I've been playing around with the new 3.2 alpha today and the scripting support works really well. It should now be possible to create some really good objective based missions. I'm going to look into learning LUA myself so that I can write some scenarios.

Cool! Can't wait to see it
As soon as I can get the new version to work I'll check out what's new - it's been a while...

The 3.1.2 doesn't have the scripting thingy?

[ZaggyDad]

No...It's the 3.2 alpha that has it.

That's the patch in the downloads section?
I'll try it on a separate Glest instance... maybe I can build a *craft-style soryline, to test it...
Thanks!
