maps Castle Vox for Lux
maps Castle Vox for Lux
Hi,
I like the game Lux a lot. I play it about 4 years now.
I like the Geomatric Shapes the most of all.
The maps for the game castle vox are a lot of Geomatric shapes maps.
IS there a way to use these same maps for LUX ?

With lux delux, under your map selection bar (how you would choose normal maps) simply select HexInfinity (and the size of your choice) and it will generate a map for you (new map everytime.) Those will give you geometric shape maps, but not the same maps as you have in Castle Vox.
If you want other geometric shape maps, I suggest:
Deep Space Wars
Space Empire I
Space Empire III
Cube Wars
So, to directly answer your question, while you cannot play the same exact maps on Lux Delux, there is a large variety of geometric shape maps, and map generators available for Lux.

If you open a .voxb file in a text editor and then re-save it as a .luxb file it should be able to be opened in Lux, but it may strip a lot of the code out and require you to fine tune some things. It definitely won't have a scenario. You'll also have to save it into the lux directory and copy over any theme elements into the proper directory as well.
But if you or anyone does this, please only use them for your own personal local games, don't try and submit them.

And yeah, I liked (and still do like) the deep space war and Space Empire maps
@mbauer
Okay, I shall try your suggestion. It seems a lot of work to do so, but it's worth the effort since there are almost no new maps made for Lux since Castle Vox came out. And I need new maps haha
Don't worry. I will not add them. Thanks for the given possibility. Liked a lot of your maps, by the way.
EDIT several minutes later:
@mbauer
I'll tried it. But a little bit different than you have written. Copied the voxb file to the LUX map "saved" (It seemed that that is where all the maps of Lux are). Than I changed the extension in luxb. Started LUX en searched for the map. Found it and started it. IT worked. I tried it with the map "2 Bridges"
Only thing: it prompted just before the start of the game: "you need a black theme and you don't have a black theme. Do you want Lux to search and download it?" Clicked yes, but nothing happened. Than I played the game without "rare"things. So, it seems to work fine for me :):)
Question: What is meant by a theme and why should I need that?
played all of them, some more than 100 times. I have LUX Delux for more than 4 years, so...I really mean the maps of Castle Vox.there is a large variety of geometric shape maps, and map generators available for Lux.

The theme is all the "art work" and graphics that is associated with the map.
Both Vox and Lux have a theme directory, it's a folder called "themes" and it's right near where the saved maps are. Inside the theme directory are a bunch of folders, the title of those folders is the name of the theme. So in the Castle Vox theme directory you need to find the folder that Lux is looking for and copy it into the Lux theme directory. Make sense?
So in this case it's looking for the theme titled "black." But you won't find a theme folder called "black", I think because it's hard coded into the game. It's just a flat black background anyway. It probably loaded into Lux on just a black background correct? So for the 2 Bridges map you don't have to worry about the theme. If the message bothers you, simply create a folder called "black" in the Lux theme directory. The folder can be empty or you can put a .jpg file in there that is just a black square and call that .jpg "background.jpg"
And thanks for liking me maps!!!
