Zugg Software :: View topic - best way to change level of existing rooms?

Apprentice Joined: 28 Oct 2003 Posts: 164

Somehow I managed to screw up when starting a map and got everything created on level -1 as the ground floor. I should just ignore this, but it bothers me. Is there some easy way to change a large number of rooms to be on a different level?

You should be able to just highlight the rooms, then click edit, move, then use the selector box in that window to choose level 0.

That might not be 100% right as i dont have zMud in front of me now, but that should point you in the right direction

This should put every room in your map up one level. Anything on level -1 goes to level 0, anything on 0 goes to 1, etc.

Just change the filename on the first line of the script before using it.

#VARIABLE MapDatabase "map.mdb"
#VARIABLE Connection %comcreate( "ADODB.Connection")
#CALL @Connection.Open(%concat("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=", @MapDatabase))
#VARIABLE Recordset @Connection.Execute("UPDATE ObjectTbl SET Z = Z + 1")
#CALL @Recordset.Close
#VARIABLE Recordset %null
#VARIABLE Connection %null
#SAY Done.

If you run it when the map is open, close it and reopen it so it can reload the map database.

Thanks for both of the responses. Never noticed that Edit->Move command. Probably because I always use the right-click.
