Re: build good maps : there's no real way to explain it, it's a knack - you can try getting some of the techniques down yourself but in the end it's as with any artistic expression: either you've got it or you don't :-P
Try reading these two example chapters and/or buying the whole book - there are other tutorials and HowTo's out there too, just use your favourite websearch!

Re: mouse-scroll : if your mouse is lacking a scrollwheel you can rebind keys for it, if it just "stopped working" you should (re-)move your config.cfg so that the engine can reconfigure your setup to the defaults!

#4272: Editing slopes

by DaMaul on 12/01/2009 16:27

Hi guys, apologies if this is a n00btastic question, but I've searched the docs and couldn't find an answer.

Is there a way to quickly create slopes?

By this, I mean selecting a group of cubes, and gradually raising a smooth slope from one end of the selection to the other.

The only way I can figure out is to painstakingly raise/lower the corners of one strip of cubes at a time.

Thanks in advance!

press the scroll wheel, keep pressed to select your cubes, release and scroll to slope them all accordingly. you\'ll have to experiment with that a tiny bit to get the hang of it

Also, selecting a range of cubes and using Q+scroll will affect that corner of all the cubes in the selection.

You could also heightmap, but that is kind of tricky just to make a straight slope. Press H then scroll and you'll make a mountain-like mass of cubes. Hold down B and scroll to change the "brush" (the style of heightmapping). There are the following types of heightmapping: squares, circular, smoothing, and noise. The squares one just drag a square out of the ground and smooth the edges. This is probably gonna be the most useful heightmap in making slopes. Circular makes a (rather pyramidical) bunch of cubes appear, and is useful for making mountainous terrain. Smoothing, as you might have guessed, smooths out terrain. Noise just ruins any smoothness, but makes terrain look quite authentic-ly destroyed. Note that all of these (except smoothing) can be done by either scrolling away from you (digging a hole) or toward you (making a mountain).
Sorry for the lengthy post and hope that helps,

#4283: multidirectional rotating (?)

by ink on 01/01/2010 03:17

how do I turn a standard mapmodel up-side down or on the side, with the ctrl + r it only spins around a vertical pole (the description is as close i can get with my english)

I searchd for an hour, pls help

reply to this message

#4284: Re: multidirectional rotating (?)

by SheeEttin on 01/01/2010 07:45, refers to #4283

You can't.
You'd have to edit the model in a 3D modeling program and distribute it with your map (assuming, of course, that you'd be in compliance with the license).

#4285: How to play my new map

by sylos on 01/25/2010 14:26

I have been creating my first map recently and I now want to test it out with some bots in. I have looked through the documentation but cant seem to find out how to get to play it with bots in.
From what I have read it seems that I need to edit the menu.cfg file but as a noob I'm not sure if this is right or how I do it.
Can any one help me out?

#4286: Re: How to play my new map

by eihrul on 01/25/2010 15:40, refers to #4285

Just go in your map and his the Insert key to add a bot, or the Delete key to remove a bot. You don't need to use the Bot Match menu at all. Just run around your map and you will automatically drop waypoints for the bots to follow, and you can use the "savewaypoints" command to cause the waypoints to be saved out for later replays.
