Title: Arena Editing Help!
Post by: Gazea2 on May 26, 2010, 09:55:33 AM: For my tournament, I made a combat arena with no walls. I made it twice the size as the original and now when bots move off of the original "floor" they are driving in mid air. Is there any way to make the floor larger?

Post by: JoeBlo on May 26, 2010, 09:57:23 AM: you have edited the floor collision only

you much find the floor visual object and give it the same numbers you gave the collision

Post by: Gazea2 on May 26, 2010, 10:00:00 AM: Ok, thanks. I'll do that. :)
Title: Re: Arena Editing Help!
Post by: Gazea2 on May 28, 2010, 11:33:09 AM: I can't find the section that changes that. Can anyone point me into the right direction?
Title: Re: Arena Editing Help!
Post by: JoeBlo on May 28, 2010, 12:26:50 PM: yeah sure.. just a minute
Title: Re: Arena Editing Help!
Post by: JoeBlo on May 28, 2010, 12:29:08 PM: you have edited this section

Code: [Select]
*NODE_NAME arena_collision
and now you need to change this part to match ;)

Code: [Select]
*NODE_NAME arena_display

Post by: Gazea2 on May 28, 2010, 12:39:05 PM: I tried it and I got:

"Run time error "62"
Input past end of file"

Here is what I changed:
Code: [Select]
*GEOMOBJECT { *NODE_NAME arena_display *NODE_SHADEVERTS 0 *NODE_TM { *NODE_NAME arena_display *TM_ROW0 1 0 0 *TM_ROW1 0 1 0 *TM_ROW2 0 0 1 *TM_ROW3 0 0 0 } *MESH { *TIMEVALUE 0 *MESH_NUMVERTEX 0 *MESH_NUMFACES 0 *MESH_VERTEX_LIST { *MESH_VERTEX 0 -25.4 -2.264982 -24.69729 *MESH_VERTEX 1 25.4 -2.264982 -24.69729 *MESH_VERTEX 2 -25.4 -2.264982 26.0027 *MESH_VERTEX 3 25.4 -2.264982 26.0027 *MESH_VERTEX 4 -25.4 -13.73502 -24.69729 *MESH_VERTEX 5 25.4 -13.73502 -24.69729 *MESH_VERTEX 6 -25.4 -13.73502 26.0027 *MESH_VERTEX 7 25.4 -13.73502 26.0027
At first there wasn't any *MESH_VERTEXs there and I added them in. Was I meant to do that?

Post by: JoeBlo on May 28, 2010, 12:46:42 PM: no your weren't :P

sorry wrong section (the stock arenas are very miss leading with the node names :P)

Code: [Select]
*NODE_NAME floor
and/or

Code: [Select]
*NODE_NAME floor perimeter
thats what you want ;)

Important: always back up copies before trying and changing everything.. then is you break it you kinda have an edit undo

Title: Re: Arena Editing Help!
Post by: Gazea2 on May 28, 2010, 02:57:01 PM: I have your compilers already, Serge. I just wasn't sure whether they worked with arenas.
Title: Re: Arena Editing Help!
Post by: Serge on May 28, 2010, 04:25:53 PM: They do (I hope).

They do (I hope).
They should work with most, no prob, if you don't mess up any syntax in the gmf..

Except for the Soccer arena.... I haven't looked at what the issue is yet, but it isn't much I think, for the goals have lost their 'remove collision' attribute, and some skins seem to not be applied, is all.
If you've time, Serge, this one whould be nice. Was working on a new mod of this arena with Joe....

Gracias, amigo.

Gaz, make sure you make that back up...
If you can, upload and link your gmf... and I (or another) will look at it.

Post by: Gazea2 on May 31, 2010, 04:59:28 AM: Triple post!

Can anyone help? I'll post a picture of what the arena looked like with the messed up skin when I tried to edit it.
