#4275: Re: Editing Slopes

by LeftClicker on 12/03/2009 02:14

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.

#4287: @sylos:

by LeftClicker on 01/26/2010 05:27

If you don't have the Insert or Delete keys, you can use "addbot" and "delbot" to add and delete bots, respectively.

by cassy-lee on 01/28/2010 06:14

Hi
I know this is potentially a stupid question, but how do you create a map that is 100x100? as far as I can figure, the default it 150x150..
thanks

#4289: Fog/clouds

by Diamont on 01/30/2010 18:56

Hello all,
I'm sorry if this is a supid question, but I have been searching to figure out how to make clouds or fog in a map. I found two solutions: /cloudbox and /fog. I was wondering if there is a better way to make fog, so that it's actually foggy instead of everything too far away to see being gray.

Thanks!

#4290: Doors, Elevators/buttons, Sound

by Trilli on 01/31/2010 14:11

I study the whole manual and search with, but I even don\\\'t know how to create
1. a function door which opens if a player comes near to it
(or opens if a button is activated)

2. and I don\\\'t understand how to create an elevator
I create a mapmodel and then I create a (invisible)thing called elevator on the same position
What must I do know?

Hope someone can help me
Would be nice, I making a big High-Security Prison with ctf and team, but it looks better with elevators and not with jumpnodes

by tentus_ on 01/31/2010 17:53, refers to #4290

Doors and elevators will not work in multiplayer, last I checked. The docs don't say that, which is weird, but very important: barrels, platforms, elevators, doors, monsters etc are reserved for SP.

#4292: Re: map size

by SheeEttin on 02/01/2010 17:57, refers to #4288

Just take the smallest map size and remove any cubes you don't want.

Diamant: There is no real fog, mostly just a cutoff. You have to fudge it with lighting and a medium fog distance.
