If you're willing to use a bunch of triggers, you can get two changes per trigger with the sleep command, although if the triggers are done too fast and the sleep is too slow, you'll start skipping the extras. Eaxmple:

fogcolour 0x203250
alias level_trigger_1 [ fogcolour 0xFFFFFF
sleep 600 "fogcolour 0x203250" ]

#1362: It is a beta ;-)

by CK|Davros on 11/01/2004 17:55, refers to #1356

but it's just a beta makke, plus i have spotted some bigg mistakes (look at the center pillar).
Any name suggestions are v.welcome.
I also included the lloong command in the text file for copy&pasting, because it's such a long name, hence my pointing it out in my post :-p

Fun with triggers, you can change the sky!! To maybe put in a "teleported to another planet" effect. Last night i made a quick map, you are in a place with snowy skybox, goblins, stone walls etc, you teleport into place with techy textures, rhinos, mars sky. I used the excuse that the rhino's "hi-jacked" the teleport signal... yeah... right..

Not only the sky, I also change the textures and it works pretty good (I mean change the textures with texturereset, not the teleport thing).

Spentron,
Thanks for the help. I'll start messing around with it soon.

Sorry I should have posted an example but didn't even come to my mind. Here is some cube scripting from a game I'm making (will come out sometime Christmas)

...

alias golden [ texturereset; watercolor 3; loadsky yellowsky; texture 0 yellowsky_side.jpg; texture 0 yellowwater.jpg; texture 0 yellowwall.jpg; texture 0 yellowfloor.jpg; texture 0 yellowsky_side.jpg ]

alias twilight [ texturereset; watercolor 5; loadsky purplesky; texture 0 purplesky_side.jpg; texture 0 purplewater.jpg; texture 0 purplewall.jpg; texture 0 purplefloor.jpg; texture 0 purplesky_side.jpg ]

...

So if we have a simple new map with default sky, floor and wall textures typing "golden" at the console will change all this to the golden default texture set, "twilight" to some other color combination and so on. Gets harder if you want to do this with more textures. Personally I don't intend to go beyond the default ones but it is possible. And hard too... No wonder no one does it :)

There are also other factors that make it hard. I can't explain them in detail, I'm no specialist, but to sum up everything, you also need to use the "scalelights" command to make things look good. However, after a few changes even the scalelights are helpless and it gets out of control.

Hi!

I'm making a new map and need a fork lift truck model carrying a pallet. Do anyone know any place where I can get one? or could anyone who reads this make one? that would be really nice.

The best where if the pallet where 1 unit high

#1369: Look at PolyCount.

PolyCount has some map models, but I don't know if they have md2s.

fps.brainerd.com didn't work and polycount has no md2 mapmodels.

Any other sites which can contain md2 mapmodels?

yeah, but these at polycount are player-models, not mapmodels...

Someone has asked some time ago where the "dg" textures have come from, and I stumbled across them :

#1378: real scene

by lagadec on 11/15/2004 17:58

Hi all,

I would like to model a real scene from 3D GPS points I got. The scene's realy simple as it's seashore. I know for example how to create a VRML description of my map, but i cannot figure out how to build one that cube could render.

Any help/comment welcome.

by makkE on 11/16/2004 03:46

hmmm... Though i don´t know any vrlm (that´s some modelling/rendering format, innit?), I doubt that Cube is the right engine for that... cube does simple heightfields and 45° corners, but I doubt it can render those "real" coordinates you have there.... and keep in mind that it´s not at all like any bsp engine... either you just recreate the scene by hand (living with cube´s restrictions) or render that with a diffrent engine... try sauerbraten ;)

Others: If I am talkin shite, let me know ;)

by D.plomat on 11/20/2004 20:17, refers to #1379

I think he wants to make a landscape, that is probably easy to do if he knows some C he can add some function to convert a file of GPS points+altitude into a floor heightfield, as Cube is a landscape engine.

But that would not be very efficient for rendering, as it would make a wide open heightfield without occlusion.
