lol, i've also been forced to use darkmatter (and i've become quite skilled with it) to move the scarab around and thing that having it visible would be awesome! also great work so far!

Hey MT, could you add a Decal Placement option in the BSP Viewer? I know not a lot people might use it but it's actually a nice addition to the map. Like if it's a flood theme you can have the flood blood all on the walls so it looks like something crazy happened. =P

Anthony, isn't just a pallete/placement reflex in the scnr?

Yeah, it is. What information would you want about it? The offset for the Decal Placement is 312 and Decal Palette is offset 320. The Decal Placement only has a X, Y, and Z cordinates. Um... that's about the only information I can give you at the time because I need to go to bed. I can give more information tommorrow if you still need it.

Make Player spawns have gravity. *runs to Cluis for guidance*

Yeah it is, but its a little diffrent because they have no models...Only bitmaps and shaders...We'll see what we can do though.

And Kibito, I don't understand.

I think what Kibito was trying to say, is have the player spawns fall to the ground like they do in-game. I guess?

kibito87 · Post by **kibito87** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 12:56 pm

Well basically gravity for player spawns is having the player spawns contour to the bsp so you don't have to actually mess with the Z coordinate. Say you are moving a spawn on coagulation and you want to change the spawn from being somewhere on the ground to ontop of the base. All you would need to do is drag the spawn in the bsp viewer over the base and it would automatically adjust to the height. Therefore making it basically hassle free. lol next time i talk to Cluis maybe he could help out with it. Not sure if you could do this

Hmm..I wouldn't know where to start for that one, and it would kill the "Machine Mods".

Is it possible to Entity an option to save all items in a tag? Instead of having to save all of them one at a time. It could be very handy for restoring things for BSP conversions.

Save all things where? In the BSP viewer? Meta Editor? Chunk Cloner? Where...

I think you got semi what I was saying. What i'm saying if somebody were to make a "machine mod" then once you position the player over the machine it would automatically adjust to how high or low the machine is.
