.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

aww that sucks, it wont let any more new boards go up at boardnation

well I tried this by making a <mapname>_precache.scr file, which doesnt do anything but load them before the map starts, which the game already does


exec global/DMprecache.scr

cache models/player/allied_101st_snow_capt.tik
cache models/player/german_winter_1.tik

any ideas on what i could put ...

not the server, just the map:

I was planning on having the allies wear that, and the Axis wearing the winter 1 skin

I had this in the mapping forum but i realized its more of a scripting question than anything else

I have taken the Captain that is covered in snow that comes with Spearhead and converted it for use with MoHAA, I am making a Bastogne map right now, is it possible that I can put something in the ...

well if you watch the history channel every once and a while they have some WWII videos of ports and fortifications on coastlines

ahh well i knew that from their helmets and shoulder patches, I just mean the snow covered skins adds to the effect, so im wondering if its possible

btw, i dont own spearhead just have the demo

For the past month I have been working on learning all I can get my hands on in the world of mapping, now that I am comfortable with a great number of things I plan to begin on my Bastogne map, which I already have concepted and made out on paper, based on historical reports and interviews with ...

so I should put it in both? one of those good things to practice doing so you don't screw up later on things?

well I'm doing it in my script so I'm not worrying about the worldspawn guide

try what i said, if that doesnt work you'll need one of the .map guys or mpowell to give you some expert advice

Well those three lines are for reference only, meaning are just to help us humans out, and so you put // in front so your machine looks over them as just comments

yeah in the official maps the edges go off for 3 or 4 layers, an example is snowy park, where if you load it up in radiant you wil see that small parts of towns go on a ways past the walls and were made in great detail, as it all adds to the quality of the map

try this out

$world farplane_color ".255 .255 .255"
level.fogplane=2500
$world farplane level.fogplane




so this is what i wold do if i dont want to use a trigger?, i mean so its there to begin with and im thinking somethin like have it under waittil prespawn, or would i put it before that ...

yep that or start radiant up without it automatically loading the last saved file you were working with then open you map, don't know why but that usually does it
