The Tain

That's actually never happened to me.. though I haven't been playing that frequently recently either.

I'm still not on terms with Vista, I have it on my laptop that I used/and now use (even got a couple of games played when I found a decent mouse) but there are some obvious problems you'll encounter with different User permissions in Vista. For the longest time the stuff I downloaded didn't appear a...

Hey iron, would you have to go back and change anything in the original cmaps, or plugs for the detail texturing to work or are they done completely by the engine itself? From the info page I'm assuming there are several mesh detail layers and they will be sorted by terrain or something? Or does it ...

Do Blunt Force Trauma, I think that's the one where everyone starts on one side of the map and LMOTH flags and such are at the top..

Oh, and be sure to check the terrain map after you finished fixing media heights and displacement. After trying these tricks myself the terrain, well really only the media terrain types, got a bit jumbled. Oh, and is there really no way for the exporting and importing of terrain maps to work? When I...

If you're not using different media heights I use Set all media heights under the Meshes drop down. It takes like 1-2 new settings to figure out at what height it should be and then just fine tune if you have to.. I'm not sure if this is what someone said crashed loathing earlier but it's never done...

I always do my displacement maps entirely in Loathing, on the few rare occassions when I've actually tried exporting them the ranges usually get fuxored up so it's definetely doable, it's just really time-consuming! Adren, you're using the 1.5.2 tools right? I tried re-enacting your problem and as a...

Haha, I second that! This past year I've probably spent more time trying to get out of the tutorial than on playmyth :/

Heh, you argue a good point! Who knows what's next, PC Amber/Oak in our lifetime?!

So basically in 5 years you've done the storyline and maybe 3-4 of the 15 levels. Since I am not clued into the rest, I'll assume you're not actually that close to completion on many other things, since you're asking for a lot of help and time from other people. I don't call into question your hard...

Actually, the local folder is disabled when playing on a metasever (but not on plain TCP/IP nor while watching films). Not true Myrd. I can host TFV maps from my local on PM.net.... naturally nobody can join, but the maps load up and I can play... Isn't this because you have the plugin in as well? ...

I wonder then if it could have anything to do with how much the engine has to work with other stuff, for example projectiles and stuff like that..?

I think 400 has been mentioned to be the most units that has ever been succesfully used on a map at one time, but the recommendations I received when starting with the whole mapmaking thing was to stay under 400 at all times, and to be certain everything would work fine, stay at around 350-380.. It'...

VR, in hindsight I should probably have stressed the 'someone I trust' part

Then I am satisfied and will immidiately start uploading my betas
