Creature Isle Mapping List v1.00
This documentation contains some of the new mapping scripts discovered from Creature Isle. We hope you will enjoy it. Note: this contains very large portions of HTML code and text from the Original BWMapping Scripts List. They had to be put in their to make it understandable.

How to use this document.

As a quick guide for the new user, I've added this little overview, it's to help you understand the way I've formatted the command reference, it's quite simple .. you'll see .. and I've tried to make it as intuitive as possible (he says !) but for the record here's how it all goes... if you need more help... please... don't email me... and consider doing something else with your time... perhaps a little cognative ability test... or ... hmmm .. maybe buy some lego, build a thought forming mechanism ... (end of life guidance.) chances are you won't even read this... to the 2% who do... move along nothing to see here.

Command_Name

Description of COMMAND_NAME will have a brief summary of what the command does.

COMMAND_NAME(Parameter1, "Parameter2", Parameter3, ...)

Parameter1
info for the parameter1

"Parameter2"
info for the parameter2 (note... any parameters which are listed in quotes must have quotes in the script file)

Parameter3*
info for the parameter3

*Call-outs may appear sometimes when a command or parameter has a bit of wierdness about it...

Example:
COMMAND_NAME(Parameter1, "Parameter2", Paramter3)
info about the example... remember that the parameters will have usable values assigned to them in the examples... and sometimes there is no example (the horror)

Related table

Tables will hold valuable information which will help you... study them.
# ParameterName Description
0 VALUE Description goes here
1 VALUE Description goes here
2 VALUE Description goes here
SOMETIMES THERE WILL BE A NOTE... MAKE SURE YOU READ 'EM (go on.. you be good.)
*** OR SOMETIMES PERISH THE THOUGHT THERE WILL BE A WARNING...(brrr!) ***

note... there is no command called COMMAND_NAME (ok?) and there will often be more than three parameters this is an example... (also for those that need thing over-explaining, I'm being facetious ... and yes I'm slapping myself in the face, quite hard. I thank you.)

So there you have it... if you don't know what a parameter is? click for a definition...

That is all.

Unlike Mobile_Static, this seems to be a normal increase/decrease as opposed to a multiplier.

Size

?
Typically 0. Values of -1 or less, or 1 or higher cause the landmark to not appear on the map.  Values between -1 and 1 seem to have no effect.
Anyone know what this does?

CREATE_NEW_FEATURE ("1060. 66,2065. 44","Crater", 1000, 1. 00000, 0)

Creature

Create_Creature_From_File
Creates a creature.

CREATE_CREATURE_FROM_FILE ("Affiliation", Creature#, CreatureMind, "x,y")

IMPORTANT WARNING
setting the Affiliation value of this command to "PLAYER_ONE" will give you the new creature type specified.
but it will erase all of your creature stats. do this only if you want to start with a new creature from scratch.

Affiliation
Who does the creature belong to? (Ex. "PLAYER_TWO", "NEUTRAL")*
*Selecting a god that already exists will create a creature with the same size as your own.  Selecting a god that doesn't exist or 'NEUTRAL' will create a creature roughly three times the size of a villager.

Creature#
The type of creature. See chart below.

CreatureMind
Chooses how your creature behaves. Selected from the files in . \Black & White\Scripts\CreatureMind. Reports of trouble with every one of those files other than Kazar Creature, Lethys Creature and Nemesis Creature, so I would only recommend using those three.

"x,y"
The start location of the creature.
Example:
CREATE_CREATURE_FROM_FILE ("PLAYER_FIVE",4, "LethysCreature", "2053. 45,1700. 42")
Creates a wolf creature belonging to Player 5 that will behave like Lethys' creature.
