Guest Mot_73 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 (edited) Ok..you map modders...gimme the skinny please. Can I take a stock map convert it from day to night and turn da darn lights on? and add a couple light poles if they aren't where I want one..not a huge undertaking...just basic realism kinda stuff. a group of buildings with a light pole with the light turned ON!! maybe a light on the side of a building? and this particular map has a runway with the landing lights all ready there...I just want them to light up at night..thats all..just a nice little romantic glow to shoot people by I don't want to create a whole new thing...lights..i just want lights..thats all..simple glowing lightbulbs that illuminate the darkness...is that to much for a guy to ask??? Whats the deal??? possible? hard to do? simple? HELP!!! Edited July 10, 2003 by Mot_73 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mot_73 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Hmmm..I've looked at 3ds Max and I cant even get a map or a map element like a tree/light whatever to open in it..and its looks VERY complicated. any map makers want to help me out? All I can offer is recognition for your work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
San 0 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 It's not possible. You can't edit custom maps. The plugins only work from MAX to MAP. But you can make your own... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GRT 0 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 once a map is lighted it cant be relight unless its reexported in MAX and but you can retexture a map in photshop just copy that map folder and put it in a new mod folder then open all the textures in PS and make them darker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hartog 0 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Or you could find the map maker and beg and plead for him/her to redo things to your likeing. that is possible. you cant add things like a light post except in 3dsm. and then again you would have to have the max file to do that. don't you just feel like all day long Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mot_73 Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Sheesh...I am a rookie at this modding/mapping/mission makin thang but sheesh!!!!!!!!!!!! HELLOOOOOOOOOOO RSE!!!!!!!!!!! If I can sooooooo easily take a vehicle or actor or whatever in Igor and stick it somewhere and tell it how to act...why on Gods green earth can't I take a light pole and place it somewhere and tell it on or off I think that if you want to change the terrain, add structures that you want to enter..then you remap/retexture whatever. BUT!!!!!!!!! to add an element like a tree/unihabitable building/light/runway light etc that should be an easy and do-able thing. Can you say GR2?????? Lets hope aye?? To clarify..I'm not saying remove any structures/element..but have a environmental element list that you can populate your mission map with. Sigh I'll stop rambling!! Thanks for all the info!!
