:
: I try to build my own TR level and I have a lot of problems with the "TRtools"
:
: First : I've got the new versions of RVIEW, TREDITOR, FEXITEM, etc (downloaded 08/12/00)
:
: MY problems are :
:
:
: With TReditor :
:
: How to define properly portals between rooms ? especially when you want to design a pool ?
: It's a great mystery to me.
: I've downloaded the 'Wade' package. When I rebuilt the level (based on TR3's House) everything
is OK.
: When I play the level, the water surface is CLEAR.

: After that I try to design (with TRE) a small level with the same 2 rooms. (Everything seems to be
ok in the room editor) . I built the level and SHIIIIT when I play, the pool is a pool (well) BUT the
water surface is not clear. In fact it has the same texture as the floor of the first room.

: So what's wrong ?

You Must put the value "0" in the field "Top" for the group "Textures-floors"
before click on tiles colisional with rooms below.
The same for rooms colisional above but for the group "Textures-Ceiling".

-For TR1/Tr2 for pools you put the water animated textures value.
-For Tr3 quicksand you put the quicksand texture value.
-For TR3 pools just value "0".

: With FEXITEM :
:
: This tool generates itm files that TRE can't read (I get an "Read beyond end of file" error).
: (the fenician.itm included in the update3 package is in this case)
:

if did't not work with fenician.itm then it is Old FexItem version.
or maybe you are trying to use the itm for anothers TR version,
ITMs from TR1 only be used to tr1 and so on.
Do not generate ITMs for levels not builded from TReditor.

: With RVIEW :
:
: I can export in dxf format that I read with RHINO3D 1.1 but I simply can not import dxf format .
: A simple test is to export a one room level as DXF and try to reimport it immediately : it does not
work at all.
:
: (the 2 dxf files included in the wade package are in this case)
:

In Rhino When you are exporting to DXFs you must choose 3DFACES entities, and
choose the higher Autocad version option, (i don't remember if is 13 or 14 version).

I will release this week a Update Rview with the international ,/. floating point fixed.
