is this even possible? well go read the mapfile header tutorial in the news section and learn a little about that... maybe that'll help

Sure just put eof before injecting the bitmap and that adds it to the end of bitmaps.map

Thanks. I always run out of ideas so I try to at least keep up to date with the rest of the community.

I do not know if there is empty space left over in the raw data for the map file for models. One would assume there would be for any addons or alterations, but your on your own otherwise.

Crap, I''m really behind...

I'm sure it is possible if there is enough space left over. Otherwise it is impossible. Or you would have to maybe screw with magic... Or some other stuff I cannot quite comprehend right now or else I would be doing it.

ok... this is how it goes. I'll answer your question, but I don't know if it'll help you.

There are 2 types of raw model data. Indices, and Vertices. Vertices describe each vertex of the model, and indices organize them into triangles. There are two blocks: vertices, and indices. If you want to add model data, you simply paste in your new model's vertices at the end of the vertex block, and you paste in the new model's indices at the end of the index block. This is the reason we have magic - so that we can change how much data comes before the meta, without fudging up the offsets or reflexives.

Hey if you duplicate a vehicle can you change its model without chaging its originals model?

can you do this with a new model that you made? i made a new banshee that is the mini longsword. and i finished my Mechwarrior but the problem is that i cant put it in.
