cones_txt.gmf would be a decompiled file. Some of the gmf's that come with the game also have decompiled versions.

Joe: Did you get the walls how you wanted them? I can look at them quickly, if you still need some help.

I read through ducks tutorial and was all set to do it but there was no arena walls or collision in *GEOMOBJECT so it kind of stupped me ??? if you could help me out that would be great

Duck: Don't get discouraged, it sounds like you just don't quite understand the correlation between the maps/skins above, to the geomobjects below. Here is how the comp knows which skin to put on what object:

Skin reference#(top of each skin section): ...................*MATERIAL_REF_NO 0
Geomobject reference#(bottom of each G-object section): *MATERIAL_REF 0

Make sure the numbers are the same, and not used for another object already.
Also, when you move an object from one gmf to another, always take the original skin with it, and then correlate their 'reference #s' (above) to match.
Put the original map/skin.bmp in the 'Maps' folder too(edit at will).
I can help you some on Yahoo IM too, NP.

Joe: Sometimes the Geomobject is named generically (like 'box'). Just look at its size and then it's location to determine what it is. This will become easy after a short time. I don't know which gmf you're tweaking, so I can't help. If you want me to look at it send it my way, NP.

Joe, which compiler are you using?

Note: The BattleBox arena has many goemobjects. It's probably not a good place to practice. But your call.

I used serges compiler for the Battlebox

so its not much good ? it was for a tournament I have planned.. would it be easier to do away with the wall all together as it has the spike stripes which act as really small walls ?

will it really make a difference?

Duck: Yea, Serges complier is the best so far, IMHO.
What are you trying to do? Send me whatcha got, and I'll help you. Don't fret... You'll catch on in no time.

Yea, Ian. I have a beta version but it still needs some tweeks to finish it. With all of the talented help here these days, I hope others will step up and help out with these projects. *hint, hint*
