" Are you going to add more static meshes and Sprite meshes to Tritem? "
Roy, excuse moi! but I have to show off...
your nice TRitem3D2 proggie...and answer Sam's ques. too...
I use the (new)wireframe mode to place items in; it's quicker w/
my funky old card.
the 2 screens; the TRitem3D2 modeler snap of the Cat temple facade.
the 3Dfx TombRaider screen in game of the finished room w/ the
added collumns and 2 palm trees.
once I understood the selection, placement, rotation &
height "elevation" adjustments of using sprites,...
I was off like a pro...(it's easy really)...makes sense...
: The static meshes listed are all the static meshes in that level.
: While it would be possible to import static meshes if you pulled
: all the textile info together and redid a new textile, I don't
: plan to support adding new meshes for awhile.
K-a new added sprite could be textured from a new "added page"
without disrupting the original TR level textures; that
would be the easy way a 3D modeler would do this...
the reason? because TR levels use a "level map" ...
if the textures for your new critter aren't on this map;
you better put them on! so, new models would have a separate
texture page that would be added to the level's textures(after)..
(that would make these models "independent", they carry their
own tex info w/ them)
