#5 If you have some questions about how things should work, please don't hesitate to send me a mail at justin.mette@21-6.com. I'll do my best to get your question answered.

#6 K. i don't think i'll need much help since i've had experiance with Thinktanks

news will be coming soon:

Devestator

#7 Ok, that's kewl. I was referring to your comment "i can't get the 2 and 3 floors to work" and figured I might be able to help suggest a way to fix your problem.

#8 Ya...i've been having trouble, i thought what i would do was make a 2nd and 3rd terrain block, which isn't working.
any ideas?

Devestator

#9 Unfortunately, you can only have one terrain block in a mission.

#10 Maybe yes...maybe no. I was once playing TT and there was two terrain blocks.

any idea?

Devestator

#11 I've been developing with Torque for over 2 years and have yet to see more than one terrain block in a mission. I could be wrong. I'll send a note to Clark (programmer on TT) to verify.

#12 Just talked with Clark and he verified that ThinkTanks only uses one terrain block. Here is an excerpt from the conversation:

"They were perhaps noting that we have a canyon that seperates two areas of terrain, although the other area is still on the same block..."

Does that help?

#13 Yes...and no. this was a mod. It was supposed to be a fort and the celing was a terrain block. (if u want i MIGHT have some screenshots somewhere.)

Devestator

#14 All right... i have a new floor plan

Devestator

#15 Think tankers coming, cant wait...

#16 Yes. In the mis file, where it says

new TerrainBlock(Terrain) {
      rotation = "1 0 0 0";
      scale = "1 1 1";
      detailTexture = "~/data/terrains/details/blank";
      terrainFile = "./w1_z2.ter";
      squareSize = "8";
         position = "-1024 -1024 0";
         locked = "true";
   };

Simply change it to

new TerrainBlock(Terrain) {
      rotation = "1 0 0 0";
      scale = "1 1 1";
      detailTexture = "~/data/terrains/details/blank";
      terrainFile = "./whateverfile.ter";
      squareSize = "8";
         position = "-1024 -1024 0";
         locked = "true";
   };
new TerrainBlock(Terrain) {
      rotation = "1 0 0 0";
      scale = "1 1 1";
      detailTexture = "~/data/terrains/details/blank";
      terrainFile = "./whateverfile.ter";
      squareSize = "8";
         position = "-1024 -1024 0";
         locked = "true";
   };

Do not lose the mis file format or It will not work.
I can't wait to mod this game. In thinktanks, there wasn't waterblocks or anything, so this will be a new challenge for me.

#17 That's what i do

P.S. Wingman i'd be greatful if you helped put together the thing for me (when completed) and help me with object placement (since u have equipment)

thanks if u say yes and...fine if u say no

there's 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't

#18 Sounds like an interesting level. Is it going to be a Beginner, Intermediate, or Expert level?

#19 Expert. hallways will be low celings (about this much if a orb is this big Orb for 5 lines_






















_) so it'll be hard to reach the next star.

P.S. I might put up a blue print soon.

#20 Dont make it too hard =) Is it going to be as hard as the expert courses now or is it going to be in its own category above expert?
