[#] Welcome to Intro. to Dream Weaving. Dreams are made with your dream editor and your dragonspeak ("DS") editor which are included with your furcadia program.
[#] From Furcadia, press the "C" tab and then press "Dream Editor". This will cause your Dream Editor screen to open to your last saved dream. If you've never made a dream, a new, tiny, blank dream will appear.
[#] You can make the dream as large as 208X200 if you hold down the control key and press or hold G, then hold down the control key and press or hold Y. It lengthens and widens the screen.
[#] If you look at the main screen in your editor, you will see the sides of the map are covered in red lines. You can walk on anything inside those red lines, but your character will not be able to walk on or in the red edges of the map.
[#] Objects, walls, and floors are placed by clicking on one of the shortcut pictures in your editor to pick a floor, a wall, or an object. Then click on the larger picture in the preview box and a screen will appear with more choices of objects, floors, or walls. You can scroll through the objects by pressing your spacebar and choose one by clicking on it.
[#] If you place something by mistake, each page of items, walls, or floors starts with a blank item. choose that and place the "blank" over what you want to erase. If the walls are not facing the right way, click on the bucket icon and then back to the pencil - that will fix it so the walls turn for you to place them.
[#] Doors are a little different. In the walls selection, you will see some doors. You can not walk through them. In the begining, it's much easier to place an open archway, and then go to the objects and find a door to place within the archway.
[#] Once you have everything placed where you'd like it, there is one more thing to do before you can save the map and use it. In your Dream editor screen, press your "D" key. This will bring up your DragonSpeak (DS) editor.
[#] You will see at least 4 lines of "DS" there: The very first line should be "DSPK V01.10 Furcadia" - this tells furcadia that the text below it is "dragonspeak". After that, there is a space and two lines of code - when a furre arrives in the dream, and move the triggering furre to (10,10). This tells furcadia where a furre is supposed to "land" once it gets into the dream.
[#] The very last line should be "*Endtriggers* 8888 *Endtriggers*". This tells furcadia that the DS is finished. You can change anything inbetween the DSPK line and the *Endtriggers* line. If you don't want to get into it right now, that's okay. You still need to save the "DS" file.
[#] Click on File, then save. Then exit the DS editor. Go back to your Dream Editor and click on file, and then save. Exit the Dream Editor, and you can go to A/I, I. FurN, or A to upload your dream. To upload, hold down the control key and hit "T". |
