: : Hi, Guys : Please forgive me for not reply yours post before, but : right now i am "off line", i have not internet in my home righ now, : so i can't get conected regulary, i am sending this from the office but : i can't stay to much time, I Hope to back On line soon. : : To Bart: : --------- : >In my level there are a few water spaces, but how further the underwater corridor goes, how more : >all walls and ceilings are shaking! : >I know the 'new' TReditor adds the surface movement but it also does that when a underwater room : >ceiling is under a 'normal' floor... : >So this floor is moving and sometimes you see the blue color from the moving water come in the : >'normal,dry room' : That is because you don't put depth to the normal floor, : your floor is a "thin flat"; this is ok just for the water surface : but for the normal dry ground put the floor 1/4 block higer that the pool. : I you check my example you will see that the pools is always surronded for : 1/4 blocks. : Room Underwater conect. : ------------------------ : I have not problem with underwater conect, i checked that : and it work fine (never crash) in tr1/tub/tr2/tr3, so if you have : problems then i guess that your are doing something wrong. : I discover a bug on Roy's tritem, so you can have a portal : problem (or maybe crash) after you put a trigger in levels with conected : rooms. I fix that problem form my side in TReditor.exe, i will send a minor : treditor (and fexitem) update on few days. : : Exporting/importing from CAD : --------------------------------- : Exporting the whole level to one unique file for be : editing using a CAD program is posible, but the file : will be huge! : Also it has not sense to do that, importing back the : the whole level is imposible, because the Tomb raider engine need : the whole level subdivided in "rooms" so if i read a "huge-just one" : DXF (or 3Ds) i will not know where are each room. : -Room dimension : -------------- : Un just-one big-room is not posible, the limit for a : room in phd/tub/tr2/tr3 is 32x32x64 sectors, this is : a tr engine limit. : : Lights : --------- : Did someone count the amount of "lights get lost" times that : Kevin post?. : the tr3 file format store the light on each vertex, so each : rectangle has 4 different lights values shared with the neigboring : faces; did you found on Rhino or other CAD program a way to edit/especify : 4 lights for each face?, or a color for each vertex?? : i don't think so, i study the 3ds format and there is no : way to store the light for each vertex; so Exporting to another : file format is not the solution to the "lost light" problems. : But there is another solution, just wait a litle. : TREDITOR 3D : ------------ : If you are expecting this i have to tell you : that...you must have to wait some more time, it will not : be ready so soon. *sorry*. : : THIS MONDAY : ----------- : I will send you this monday my custom level "the Sumerian Temple" : and another surprise for you guys. : : See you, take care friends. : : Turbo Pascal.
