"Lightning needs arena help" thread
« on: October 12, 2013, 06:08:14 PM »
I've been trying to use this tutorial to mod the combat zone, but when I tried to edit the arena collision to make it bigger and have a shorter roof, nothing happened. Here's the GMF:
Code: [Select]
*MESH_VERTEX 0 -20 -2.264982 -18
*MESH_VERTEX 1 20 -2.264982 -18
*MESH_VERTEX 2 -20 -2.264982 22
*MESH_VERTEX 3 20 -2.264982 22
*MESH_VERTEX 4 -20 3 -18
*MESH_VERTEX 5 20 3 -18
*MESH_VERTEX 6 -20 3 22
*MESH_VERTEX 7 20 3 22Is this because I'm using notepad++ (vs Serge's compiler), or is there something else going on?

no, using notepad should not effect the GMF adversely. i would double-check the tut and make sure you are editing the right parts of the right vertices.

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Opening as gmf, saving as gmf. Not sure if that affects it.

Checked and I can't find any other part in the gmf that matches what was mentioned.

I believe you are opening boxarena_txt.gmf. You need to decompile boxarena.gmf with Serge's decompiler then edit it in Notepad++ and then recompile it with Serge's compiler. (It may be possible just to compile boxarena_txt.gmf after you edit it and just rename it to boxarena.gmf but I don't know for sure if the files are exactly the same.)

Oh, okay then. One last thing, the compiler isn't recognizing the decompiled version. Do I need to do something for it to see it?

Rename the file and put .gmf at the end.

Okay now it's being edited, but not how I need it to be.

It just edited the lighting, but I know I only changed the part the tutorial was talking about (arena collision). What did I do wrong?

iirc one of the compilers has problems with arena lighting, and you are likely using that one. if you still have the uncompiled version try recompiling it with serge's, dummy's, and fb's (fb's is on the beetlebro site and not under tools). see if that affects anything.

From now on I'm just going to use this thread whenever I need arena help.
Tried FB's compiler and it's working now. My next question is probably not able to be answered by a lot of people, but how do I remove the existing walls and make new ones where the new collision points are? (btw thanks to everyone who has helped me so far.)
