3 Questions

Post by Majku »

1:I've been trying to change the projectile color of the beam rifle. this is the tutorial I followed:

Step 1- Open Dothalo and the preferred map of your choice.

Step 2- Go to the [Proj] tag and then choose your projectile of choice.

Step 3- Once you have your projectile of choice go to the Dependincies/Lone

IDs window. There should be a bunch of words that are listed. Then look for

something like this objects\weapons\rifle\plasma_rifle\damage_effects\

plasma_rifle_bolt, it should be a jpt! tag

Step 4- Now go to the Tag Class in the Dependencies window and look for the

[ligh] tag, then go to the 2nd scroll window where it says Null.

Step 5- Once in the [ligh] tag there should be things like

scenarios/....sphere yellow and the other things in the game involved with

colors/light

Step 6- choose scenarios/.....sphere yellow, once you click your color go

straight to the Save Changes button on the Dependincies/Lone IDs window.

that's what I did. and I fixed the encryption and everything but when I press start game then it counts down and right as the screen goes black then my xbox freezes. I don't know why exactly. can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong?

2:How do you add AI's like birds and stuff? I want some of those oracles on my map.

3:How do you change and or add scenery? I've tryed changing the grass and the rocks models. doesn't do anything.

He doesnt want to know how to change what the gun shoots, just the color of it.

To change the color, look around the apps section for a program called 'contrail editor'.

For AI creatures, just use this tutorial, then once you have the birds in there, swap their mode for the monitor.

and for scenery, just go to the tutorials section, im sure theres loads of tutorials in there.[/img]

lol that's probably why my map was freezing. thanks guys

look around in the apps section? there isn't an appliactions section. there's only a uttilites and I've already looked in there.

Do you guys know how to add rain to a map?
