Quick Mapping Question

[xtreameracer01]

How do you change the player start icon, by rotating it? When i hit the rotation button on the tool bar, it wont rotate...what am i doing wrong here?

[xtreameracer01]

Does anyone who maps know this answer? Produkt? Anyone?

You mean the way the player is facing?

[xtreameracer01]

Yeah, like if you place a player start icon, it is always facing one direction. How do you rotate the player starts to have them face another direction than the "default" direction? And i have tried selecting the player start icon and pressing the rotate button put it says something like, "object cannot be rotated because of it not being able to do this function". any idea?

Select the Info_Player_Deathmatch and click the Z-axis rotate.

[xtreameracer01]

Oh, i click on the info_player_start one.....and it wont let me do anything.....

Thanks i'll be sure to try it...

[xtreameracer01]

Nope...that dont work either...it just wont rotate, no matter how many times i press it...

What program are you using? If its Qeradiant, try using Gtkradiant 1.50 instead (works for me).

sweet i always wondered how to do this thanks

[xtreameracer01]

What program are you using? If its Qeradiant, try using Gtkradiant 1.50 instead (works for me).
Im using GTKradiant1.3.9, i only have to use this because its the only one that works on my computer...

[DPyro]

Should look like this (Z->N Button) :)

[xtreameracer01]

Yeah, i know that......but when i press it, nothing happens...

[xtreameracer01]

I'll try to download the latest one, GtkRadiant-1.5.0 on 2006-03-02, and see if its just the programs itself...

EDIT: I have installed v1.5.0 and when i start it, it says "Couldnt load font MS Sans Serif 8, falling back to Sans 8". And wont start at all...anyone how to fix this problem? $niper? Anyone?

[Buddy4point0]

i had that same proble, so i just switched back to 1.4

[xtreameracer01]

Ok, version 1.3 dont work, 1.5 dont work...im trying 1.4 now...

ITS AN ENTITIE FOR CHRIST SAKE!

You have to open up an entitie!

alright... please listen (I set mine on a squared 4 window settings, its an option in interface settings)


once you have change the setting to look like mine does in the tutorial then! press the " T " key

it will bring up a texture window, there are 3 tabs neer the bottom of that window, entitys, console, and textures. Click on entities!

you now have a good bit of choices to make, if you dont know what your are doing dont mess with anything you dont understand

there should be about 8 boxes lined up inside a square each with an angle degree! you can select those and it will point the entitie at that direction!

good luck!

[xtreameracer01]

Thank you Produkt... now i can get the damn thing to rotate...

[Buddy4point0]

did you ever make a thread for your hell and raven island cause i would like screens

[xtreameracer01]

Its in my thread about my first map, which i should make a thread of all my maps in it...called "Xtreame's Maps"

[xtreameracer01]

I have another question for anyone, if i were to supply textures in my next post...would someone convert them for me to work in iris? Because i cant seem to get them to work at all...or if anyone can tell me what program will work.

Also, i set the texture to a tga, 256x256,24bpp...is this correct?

[Produkt]

you need to restrict the colors to 256 unique colors...

photoshop works... version 7
