you should exit the editor after saving changes to any map . it doesnt want to load the next map if you dont reboot the app .

i think its meters ... so goto cutsomize > units setup , and choose international and then meters , click ook and youre ready to make a ground plane in the proper scale .

the crosshair design is defined in a texture , with simple alpha information . however it also appears that in the data\objects\weapons folder in the scar and cmr folders there are other references to the reticle as well ... im lookin now where i found it before , but there is a mod in these forums that removes the crosshair , so that would be one of the files involved in the reticle display .

you could always make the weapon texture trnaparent , but then other players will see you shooting a non-existent weapon . but if youre up for solo campaign with no weapon in view then thats a solution .

Speaking of user directory tree structure , it isnt even difficult to learn , why have a computer and use mods in the first place if you are oblivious as to how to install them .

yes , material id's are still the way to go , however under the tools menu ( top of screen ) there is a vertex colors tool , you then go into sub object mode with vertices and select the bordering vertices and apply a midtone greyscale color . your differing materia;s will then become white or black , so the transition you painted ( selected by the vertices ) will have white for one texture , grey for the blend , and black for the other texture . i dont know how many textures you can vertex paint at once , you may have to collapse the stack or convert it to an editable mesh for thee next etxture blending process .

i was wondering if you could help out a bit with the incoming tutorials , since i want to test max poly useage in view , i know its very different , but the shanty buildings and construction sites are ok , but a denser , more complex building would be a good thing for some cqc/midrange/sniper mixups . i went fricken nuts with this hotel , and i know that its too high , but if i can manage solid occlusion , then it will have been worth it . plus i can always ditch the tv dishes and save ~12,000 polys lol . [EDIT] without the tv dishes its only 9,500 tris !! LOL textures are 1024 x 1024 for the facade , 512 H x 1024 for the interior rooms , and 512 x 512 or less for the detail meshes . wireframes :

names on the HUD minimap i beleive are just the .dds textures opened in photoshop and names in text places over them .

got a render of the building i need help with ( note the lack of trees ) :

hey all , i got a massive building i need import to test functionality and scale . was wondering if someone could take some time out to help me import it via im , because the tutorials help as far as exporting , but the materials sections is very uncler to me . the building is ~10,000 polygons , completely carved out on 4 or 6 floors ( cant remember which ) , so this will be the most difficult import i have tried yet . thanks to anyone who can help out , im sure youll be satisfied with the work im doing for the community .

ok , sorry if someones asked thig before , but do modified scripts effect the game with anti-cheat enabled , or could a simple script be places into the map bundle file ? also , i was wondeing if user-created terrain could be painted on with props like grass and brush like the stock terain and tiles can ? also , destructable objects , would you know of a guide on how to do that ? sorry for all the questions but i have made fairly noteable progress with my map , and want to start thinkin of these things .

ditialy , is it fairly easy to make doors ? and can you bind them the " use key " , i have a building with alot of doors and it would be great to have to open/shut them using input and it would be tactically interesting to have to shut doors that make sound to keep from being noticed .

i just came across an old plugin i had forgotten about ... power booleans is just the thing for building carved out structures , since max booleans tend to stop operating like they should after a few operations . im currently building a map and the best part of building it has been this tool . so go check it out !! http://www.npowersoftware.com/booleans/pboverview.htm

ah , thanks
