littlewhitey's Christmas Tree Competition 2012!

[S3rs]

As we try every year (2009, 2010, 2011), littlewhitey's celebrates Christmas by adding a nice tree to the SA-MP server. This can't be done without your input!



First of all, make sure your version of GTA: San Andreas is downgraded to V1.0. You can do this using this patch. You will need a Map Editor to create your tree. Actually, there are a few tools you can use. I will try to explain how mapping works with 'MTA Map Editor'.

First you will have to download and install MTA.

After you're done: run it as administrator and click Map Editor.

There you go. Now you can collect objects, put them together and figure everything out.


Other:
^{SA-MP Map Editor: Download
Alternative Map Editor 1: Download
Alternative Map Editor 2: Download}



Well I suggest you google your problem first, there is alot of information out there regarding GTA Map Editors. If you really have a specific question, and can't find any information, feel free to post your problem.

Q: Why can't I save or load my map anymore?
A: Make sure you run it as Administrator at all times. If this does not the issue, look for the file 'Editor_Dump' in MTA San Andreas\server\mods\deathmatch\resources
and delete it.

Great idea!

Reading myself into sa-mp mapping nao.

[S3rs]

Awesome Enzo! Will you create a tree then?

[EnzoMortelli]

If i'd figure out how then ofc.

[Matz]

Can we use the RemoveBuildingForPlayer? (Removes specific default objects on sa map)

[S3rs]

Why do you need it? It would be better if you could find a spot with enough room, my first thoughts!

[Matz]

Yes but I found a good location but there are 2-3 objects ruins tree... Not much objects like 20-25. If I remove them I think it will look good.

[S3rs]

No, I'm sorry. Please focus on mapping the tree instead of editing surroundings.

It hasn't been allowed in the previous competitions, let's keep it that way!

[Matz]

Okay, I found a location anyway

The winning tree will be featured in December's You + 2. We'll try to display a greeting message showing the winner's name on the tree.
