Weyrman, well i would say yes. i've asked if robots can be spawned, using a trigger, in a cube wo being created in a robo gen. i want to create ambushes. in areas the player has already checked out but has to return to. the robo gen makes noise and you can't (afaik) modify the robots attributes. i.e...

2 things happened to me in dle ver 1.4.37 today. had flashing lights then they went away. something i did? don't know. how can i get them back? i don't know what value to look for or change to get the flashing lights back. tried exiting and reloading the mine. no go. edit : i didn't see that the fla...

ok Kilarin. hmm. tabbed pages. hmm. might be worth a try. like after i get this level done that i started 3 YEARS ago! yeah Lothar. THAT'S the thread i read. i still don't understand what the deal is after reading it. :? thanks for the tips MD-2389. no "they" did not. (who are "they&q...

Diedel,

amazing to get updates done so quickly!

the mouse is fixed. i didn't see any of the texture stuff after 1.4.86. i had similar seeming problem as you know in 1.4.85

jakee308

yep. god i can't believe i've sunk so low. i've become so addicted to my wireless wheel mouse i don't even think of using the kybd. eek!

thanks Diedel.

jakee308

just double checked that i clicked everything i was supposed to: Main menu; click New Game, lists counterstrike, vertigo and [single] click on [single] list box shows [..] (nothing else in list box) click [..] (doesn't go back to parent folder) i get the box that says "you may begin in any leve...

jakee308

Diedel, now i have a subfolder "single" showing when i choose New Game. when i click on that nothing shows except [..] and if click on that i start a new game in counterstrike. in start new single player game, my sngl ply lvl shows up ok. if it was multi, coop and single it would show in &...

jakee308

thanks Sirius, i think i should have said "how many player objects can be in the level."

jakee308

diedel got automap name changed. thanks ? ver 1.4.86 at main menu. have new mission in missions folder. click on New Game. list show counterstrike, vertigo and new mission. click on mission and go. at main menu. have new mission in missions folder click on Single player game. list shows counterstrik...

jakee308

thank you Diedel.

i wondered if i should save the mine but thought that all the info came from the mission. Great!

btw. what is max number of coop players, max number of multi players allowed in level.

diff between dle or dmb?

jakee308

when using the automap, in the corner is the name of the level. this seems to use the filename from the mission file. i changed both the name of the mission and the level and the map still showed the file name which i didn't change. i can tell as the file name has no spaces but the mission name does...

jakee308

thanks for the suggestion Kilarin. i will definitely think about it. however it is a chore to change one's software. you get used to something and even if it's bad, you know how to use it without thinking and it's easier to stay with what you know. i have also found really cool software for somethin...

jakee308

btw, i discovered that in my browser (msie) if you right click (for context menu) that little white page icon that DarkShadow pointed out, then click "save shortcut" you won't have to click on the link and then copy from the address bar. if your browser uses context menus check it out.

jakee308

thank you DarkShadow, when i tried this b4, i must of been attacked by the typo bug cause i thought i did this b4 but it didn't work. Hah! Excellent. thanks for the help. KoolBear's Reply to Me p.s. can someone explain why sometimes posts will word wrap while writing them but when posted they don't ...

jakee308

thanks KoolBear. I'm starting to think i'm wrong. the links were to topics not replies. i remember one and will go test it now. Edit: I regret to say i was mistaken. the links i thought went to the topic, do not. Sorry KoolBear :oops: it would be convenient if it can be done. i have doubts cause i d...

jakee308

KoolBear,

Hmmm, when i tried doing that i got the first post in that topic. i have seen where ppl link to a particular reply. ( at least i think i've seen that?)

jakee308

TechPro same happened to me. believe it's because the saved game is from older version? when started a new game and deleted the old game then saved a new one with new version, then quit and restarted with saved game. all ok. something about the data recorded in the savegame file may differ from vers...

jakee308

yes. i just tried to capture a link. i have to hover over the little white page at the beginning of the "posted ..." line.

the url i thought was for the topic is for the page??

what i meant was the url for a reply.

jakee308

just tried to post a screenshot in test area. it was successful. but the picture has white border from somewhere??? put up avatar pic. thanks to photobucket.com (free picture host) which was mentioned to me in a reply. will try to find their post to give them props. edit: props to DCrazy who told me...

jakee308

special views only available thru powerup. allow camera use for limited amount of time rather than a toggle. invisio is time limited but during that time you can do a lot of damage. invince ditto. i'm not knocking having a camera view just brainstorming. (my eyes roll back in my head and i start to ...

Bad news is we'll all have carpal tunnel syndrome from heavy keyboard use.

jakee308

well i'm getting an education about the board right here, hmmm?

jakee308

the good news is that in the bunkers w.o. tv we'll have more time to design levels and play descent.

jakee308

the bad news is Top Wop's fart just melted his mother board which caused a power spike that overloaded the substation in Jupiter PTMC Mining Station No. 56830. this knocked out the orbital magnetic alignment beam for Instant Transport and 3,122 people in transit were turned into ions and spread thro...

jakee308

the bad news is the nearest hospital is ... you guessed it.

the hospital run by Umbrella Corp.

ambushes.
that noise can be heard from a distance and you know what happened.

yes!the markers are already set to be cameras in multiplay aren't they?

jakee308

Iceman

the manual of course being a 358k .pdf file located on the hard disk of the computer that's not working.

jakee308

sorry to be so stooopid. am total noob about boards.

thanks roid
how does that work? you go there and try out bb coded posts and see what happens? ok.

if you edit a post does that cause new post notices sent and noted on the thread list?

jakee308

Diedel,
what about a camera view powerup.

i guess i can set up cubes to be robo gens and only spawn 1 specific robot but can the robo gen sound be suppressed?

jakee308

okay. didn't notice this before. if you move the mouse into the map and hover, any changes to the light values on the texture tool will take effect. great! -a nit- when typing in light values to the text boxes in the texture tool, you can input alpha chars. and one of the labels for the boxes say &q...

jakee308

:?: camera triggers. hah! love it. the whole wall becomes the camera? use a particular texture? what about sprites? i know the images would have to be created. i'm thinking of an image of a camera so it would look as if the camera was the source of the view. cameras in/on robots? the gb already does...

jakee308

can't just use original switch animation? just use one image from animation list? i ask as i don't know how the animations work and how many textures are involved. if poss. will do. i don't mind too much what they look like as long as they work. the switch is of course the trigger. can any type of t...

jakee308

8) robot triggers, yes! spawn robots in areas you have already been in and may return to. the quantity, spawn area and type depending on the trigger activated. also nice to have settings on how many times a trigger can be activated. as a thought though, can some kind of repeatable switch with approp...

jakee308

thanks Hahnenkam i found that on my web search for bb code and have a link to it :) i noticed you saw the part of my post about views. i was writing it at the time and previewing it. (thanks for the explanation btw.) does previewing post what has been written so far? it was spooky to be writing abou...

jakee308

thanks roid. have been looking for a image editor. one that knows how to do these things and grab pictures. ? what is the difference between a reply and a view? i see this in the stats and don't know which is which. how do you post a reply and not a view and vice versa? also: about necroposting. thi...

jakee308

the good news is Money!is tired of playing around and has gone off with Image to the circus.

jakee308

It automatically fills in the phpbb code when you click the "quote" button above their posts. well i just did this. ha! i tried this before and it didn't work?! thanks tetrad. next question. Avatars. suggestions? i have searched for programs or free ones. but they want to stick adware on ...

jakee308

As i am new to Web BB's some of what i see in posts puzzles me. how to enclose a quote from a previous post in a box and include it in your post? i presume some bb code is required? i have looked on phpBB's site and searched the web but this probably is so basic that everyone (but me) knows how to d...

jakee308

the good news is the circus is looking for a new clown.

jakee308

the good news is Money! was scared by an elephant as a child. Since then he has kept away from them and as a result hasn't been squashed by one.

yet.
