Beginners questions.

Post by fujidog »

Here are a few questions to help get me started with radiant:

1) How do you make an openning door?

2) Once I have de-selected a brush, I can't seem to re-select it. Please help. It means I can't correct mistakes easily.

3) How do you make windows?

4) In the tutorial, is says how to make a BSP using a command prompt. What is this, the windows one? If so, I typed what it suggested and nothing happened.

Once I know these thing I can get underway and I'll have more queries later.

Thanks!
I'm a beginner give me a chance!

(1) Try this tutorial by Dr ABAP : http://www.planetmedalofhonor.com/mohra ... doors.html

(2) Hold shift and left click with the mouse on a brush you want to select. To select a face (1 of the sides) of a brush hold down shift+ctrl and left click..

(3) Windows are fairly easy to master in a short space of time. Create a brush the size u want your window to be and "build" your wall around it..

(4) Download MoHPile (see News Page or the MoHPile Beta Test Forum) Its a compile assistant and much easier than using dos prompts

Window

(3). Highlight your window brush and hit key N. scroll down the list until you find "func_window" and double click on it--just like you did for doors. The window will now vanish when shot in the game. To make it breakable is a little harder and you should read a tutorial if that is what you want. Choose the texture of your window brush carefully because some are broken versions of the same window and some you can't see through the glass.
