1. If i am done making my terrain in RenX, I have exported it as a W3D file. Then i opened the Level Edit, and clicked on Add at the texture list. I give the terrain a name and give the correct path to the terrain at the ''m_ModelName'' tab. then when i click on Make nothing happens. What am i doing wrong? why wont my terrain appear?

2. How do i (in level edit) connect a waypoint to a bot spawner? so that if it gets spawned, it follows the waypoint.(Example: Soldier gets spawned in the barracks and runs to the field)

If you have an anser to 1 of these ansers then please post it. I would realy apprechiate it

1. Did it load? then you must search for your map Tell Me

(hold alt and press + for better view

2.You need to add a script to you bot, like M03_basepatrol ore JFW_folllow_waypatch

(the texture list? where do you find that? ore do you mean the "terrain" tab, (that is where it should be temped))

Moding can be real Fun...

it is. still nothing. Huh

Edit: OK!! I've re-extracted the map with another name (no spaces) and now it suddenly works Big Grin

so i was the name that was wrong. thanks for the help all.

only 1 more thing about Q2. when i add the follow_waypath script, do I have to add the waypath ID in the script? because i did and it crashes now.

And how do I get textures on my map. I'm doing something wrong because all i get now is a white terrain when i'm trying to add texture.

If you're using custom textures you need to add the .tga/.dds into editor cache in the mods root folder or it will dislay with westwoods dummy.

Make sure you use the the WHOLE waypath ID, not one of the waypoints.

Press M in renX to get the materials editor open, and apply your textures. Then (with the mesh still selected) Go to Modifiers -> UVW Coordinates -> UVW Map. This will add a new item to the stack for your mesh, so on the right you can apply the options 'Box' and set height, width, length etc to something like 5 (been a while since I did this so play around with different values)

Ok Texture problem solved.

Only the waypath thingy remains unsolved Huh

I've entered the script to my GDI Soldier spawner and gave it the correct ID (Waypoint ID and i made shure it was the whole waypoint). Game still crashes Huh

waypaths are pesky things..
-You need to first make a waypath.
-Then make the bot.
-Make sure you have Scripts.dll in your mod directory.
-Double click on the bot spawner and go to the scripts tab.
-Click "add" then in the drop down find a waypath script (Ask around... I am not good with that stuff) after you find one, click "ok" FOR NOW.
-Double click on the waypath you want the bot to follow, and look in the box that says "ID." Remember that number.
-Now close that, and open up your bot's stuff again (Double click on bot)
-Go back to scripts, click on the script that is there, and then click "modify" where it says "Waypathid" type in the number that was in the Waypath.

In game your bot should follow that path. Very Happy

Confirm that you are using the latest scripts, that you have a waypath finder (* > Human (can't remember exactally, and i'm on a Mac so no looking it up)) and make sure that the .lsd is contained with the map.
