Creating a Map Mod

Maps in The Underworld describe the rooms the player can explore. A room is considered to be each node the player visits on the map. It can be an actual indoor room, outdoor area, or anywhere the player can go to.

Map Modding was introduced for build r26.

Recommended Steps

• First, try creating an entity mod to learn the essentials.
• Then, refer to Map Mod JSON Format.
• Check out the Sample Map Mod for a simple example.
• Check out the Sample Advanced Map Mod for a more robust example with respawn logic.

Tools

Maps are edited in a tool called Trizbort. It is a free, open source utility that allows you to create and edit maps in a nice WYSIWYG interface.

You can download the latest version of Trizbort here. It is only available for Windows platforms, but emulates nicely in Wine for Mac & Linux.
