chunks

anyone know how to add and spawn chunks to scen? i was told that adding them to scen and spawning a tree through it could make it have collision.

You duplicate an itmc and than add the collection chunks for how ever many you want to spawn. In Dark Matter in the scnr while in the meta editor just change the added chunks to your duplicated itmc. Also change the hlmt or the duplicated object to your scenery item.

when i add chunks the the scnr collections, i either cant open the map in an editor, or nothing at all will spawn. like now weapons anywhere or vehicles.

You have to add the chunks to the collections because the scen doesnt work. Then you follow this tut:
Note: For this tut the map must have a machine you're willing to duplicate or sacrafice.

1) Take a machine and set its speed to 0.

2) Swap the machine's Hlmt with the objects Hlmt that you want to spawn.

3) Go to the Itmc Tag and swap one of the itmc's with the machine that is now your object.

4) Now I recomend you FTP you're map and see if the object has full collision and stays perfectlly still.

5) Add chunks to your map and link them to the proper Itmc.

6) Open up Darm Matter and move the Objects around (to see where they are you may need to switch the Itmc to spawn a H_turret then switch it back to your machine when you've moved the spawn points.)

7) Sign map and FTP it and enjoy your scenery like objects with collision!

Tip: If the machine has sounds swap them to something.

That should do it.
