and another shot at this

[final shine]

well i made this simple map

so i can learn how , to add a sky, how to use the compile tools and other stuff i need to know, the map has no problems so, is it safe to compile it in that state or do i need to add more stuff?

edit:
why cant i

It works now . The map looks good for the way it is now, especially since its one of yours first few. But, the mountain thing is huge. Make them smaller and add more in.

btw, trying to be a multi-devloper?

It's been like that for a while on this forum. Instead of using the image tags, you need to use HTML tags in order to show the picture:

As for your map:

You should definitely make the map bigger and add more variation to the terrain (hills, ditches, bumps, mountains, etcetera). But overall, good job.

He didnt. Hes using clipped blocks.

[DJ-Ready]

at batch, stage paths do i rly need the ripent.exe and in the variables the wad root?

 

[Grega]

You dont need ripent.

Just make sure you disable it from the compiling process.

(uncheck it at the right side of batch ^^)

 

[final shine]

ok but how abbout the WADroot ? i went thru a tutorial on nems' site last night but the site dosnt work anymore :\, so, in the right part in batch's windos, i gota have checked, CSG, BSB, VIS, RAD, and stam right?

 

[MC]

You just need CSG, BSP, VIS and RAD checked.

 

[final shine]

Yes, you need to save in the .map format.

This is my setup:

You dont really need it for learning. It only places the ESF models on the ground. If you dont use it they walk a bit abbover the actuall ground.

In any case if you still want it even for learning -> http://forum.esforces.com/showpost.php?p=148560&postcount=24

 

[MC]

Looking back at your older posts, final_shine, it looks like you have the older ZHLT's. Here's a link to the latest ones:

http://zhlt.info/download-zhlt.html

The only files you need from the .zip file are:

hlbsp.exe
hlcsg.exe
hlrad.exe
hlvis.exe
lights.rad

 

[final shine]
