Any Docs On Pathed Interiors Patch for HEAD?

#1 Dan,
look at the original Resource

There are example files in the Zipfile

#2 Sven,

Do you mean the "PathedInteriors Readme.txt" file? I read that, but its too basic for my little brain and I didn't get much. It only had an example of the lift tower and not doors. It also was a "do this an you get an elevator" And its out of date with the new resource. The 1348.magicbutton(); is no longer needed.

I have no problem digging into it some more and figuring it out, but I thought someone might have written a bit more up.

Thanks,

#3 Sorry that's all about I seen here.

#4 I have a test Quark file with one swing door, and one elevator. Both work well, provided you've followed the patch and comments. Speak up, and I'll email it to your profile addresses.

#5 Erik,

It would be great if you could e-mail that to me!

Thanks,

#6 Erik,

Me too please :-)

never know that swinging door also work.

Thanks

#7 Sent. I'll check this post occasionally for any more me toos.

@Sven Eventually I plan to integrate some of your/Beffys door code. I like how you guys trigger them, and automatically rename all the parts with a random suffix. I'm off redoing a total 100% time system currently though, so it'll be a bit.

#8 Me too please Erik. We are starting to make some buildings for our game.

Thanks,
Marrion Cox

#9 I'd love to see an example of a hinged door if you wouldn't mind sending it my way too, please. Right now all my buildings look gap-toothed!

#10 Erik Madison,

Might be worth your time just to post it as a "resource" instead of e-mailing everyone one by one.

BTW - Thanks for the example!

#11 FYI -

David Potter was kind enough to create a tutorial on how to add a door in Quark that works with the pathed interiors.See Pathed Interiors Patch for HEAD (23/7/2004) within the posts.

#12 I haven't had much luck with this resource. At first I tried to patch with the lighting pack, and I had to do some hand merging, which I thought I got through it. Specifically I'm trying to get alpha walls, for windows, or a fence, or whatever. Not just a transparent value like 50% or whatever, like a 32bit png or something. So I thought well if I had problems I would get a older version of the engine and use the new 7/23/04, so I applied the patch (first a 7/23 release, then I tried a 7/20 version thinking a messed up something), and there was no errors, everything went perfect, except I can't seem to get anything to work, I guess I don't know how to setup it up in quark, I created a transparent detail entity, dragged some brushes into and it detected it when it exported but in the game it's black. I defined USE_TRANSENTITIES, in the project the demo, map2dif, lib, etc. If I use a 32bit texture do I use SuperPNG, or BMP, or a seperate 8bit texture.


Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tim

#13 Well, while it's not exactly what you're looking for, Stefan Beffy Moises and 3D-Diggers have implemented DTS doors in their Blacksmith product that work very well (note that the Synapse Gaming lighting pack only supports static DTS shapes). Still, it works extremely nicely!
