Spiral stairs & decompiler

pollomizzega · Post by **pollomizzega** » Thu Apr 09, 2009 9:18 pm

Hi,
I'm creating a small map, and I like to add spiral stairs... I googled a lot, and I found a prefab from Tltrude, I don't know where I downloaded it...
I want to add a railing to the prefab, I want to have stairs like in the m1|3c.bsp (the torch)... I tried to decompile it with mohaa tools, but I couldn't decompile all the brushes (like the railing

)... I used version 1.0b...I couldn't find any newer version... does anyone know how to do a railing in spiral stairs?
If anyone can post a link to a newer version of MohaaTools it would be nice... or any other decompiler that works...

there are only two decompilers that I know of, the one made by MPowell1944? and the other by ScorpioMidget, it is in a pack, comes with a bsp viewer, scr editor, and a whole bunch of other stuff

Thanks a lot, the second decompiler you gave me works very well (I think). Now I've my railing... but I don't understand how can I make another railing for spiral stairs without copying it from the original map....
Thanks a lot again,
If anyone knows how to make railings in spiral stairs, it'd be great...

Get friendly with patch meshes.

Hi,
I've finally done my spiral staircase, using the tut for Jedi Outcast, but I still have problems with the railing.. I've found patch meshes, and I used them, but I don't know how I can do a patch mesh of a cylinder...
I haven't any idea...do you have?
Thanks for the help.

make a brush

select/curve/simple mesh

select curve/primitives/cylinder

pull and stretch and shorten however you need.
