How to transfer level created in World Editor to the game server?

Added by Andrew over 8 years ago

I created test level in World Editor but I don't know how to transfer it to the game server so it can became playable.

Is there any document about that?

If yes I would appreciate link to it.

Do I need to copy files created by World Editor to server part and place in some directory manually OR World Editor must be connected/logged server part and I can just "publish" world to server?

omg, kaetemi ...:) that would be indeed awesome.

we just learned yesterday, its not a simple task.
its a chain of processes.

we have to figure out, how to bring a .max world/region/coffeecup together with the engine
has anyone made that already ?... suggestions please ^^

also we have to figure out, how to bring the modified data tru the exporting pipeline, so we have data available for both, the server and the client.
every bit of information on the wiki or here on the forums is welcome :P

so lets talk about the different content, we want to change.

Dynamic Content
Dynamic content is everything that can be changed dynamically without exporting new content to the client.
There are NPCs, Quests(?), .. gogo, help to figure that out :)

Static Content
Static content is everything placed statically in the client.
Also, static content has to pass the export pipeline thru code\nel\tools\3d\build_gamedata\ to make the static data available in the client too.
Here we have buildings, landscape, .. also here, help to figure that out.

As MMOInteractive trys to handle the dynamic content, Andrew wanted a way to handle the static one.
It will be fun, to understand, how to set a new building in the world (static) and add a new NPC with a quest(dynamic).

There is still no info how to move level done in World Editor to server so it can be playable.

So if developers could post it everybody would really appreciate it, it will help community to use that great engine.

Without that info ryzom core is basically unsuable.

We are working on it. Kaetemi ran into problems with the new Export pipeline but he is working on it so just give him time to get it done right!
