first you go to the ITMC tag and pick a weapon that you want to swap for a MACH. Then you right click and hit swap. Scroll down to the MACh tag in the box that your swapping stuff in and then choose what mach you want to spawn. Then click swap ident. thats how to spawn them but if you want mor or less you have to go the SCNR tag, scroll down to netgame equipment and hit clone chunk. go to netgame equip again in the box that popped up and find your item and select the # of chunks you want and hit clone, then hit add meta to map. move around in BSP viewer, save, sign, and FTP

yes this is w/ entity...

go to the SBSP tag and click the only tag in it. Then click on the blue + at the top right and click view BSP.
Must have the mainmenu and shared.map in the same folder as your map

now here are the controls for the entity viewer.

right mouse click:change view
left mouse click:select object
arrow keys: move object up, down, left, right
Page up: move object up
Page down:move object down
W:move camera angle forward
A:move camera angle left
D:move camera angle right
S:move camera angle back
X:move camera up(vertical)
Z:move camera down(also vertical)
Shift, Ctrl, Alt: change angles while holding down and moving mouse

IMPORTANT! If you rotate the MACH with control save it after you rotate it with shift or alt, this is important because if you don't do this it will screw up the MACH

im guessing you are using entity UE v1.6 and i could never get that to work i suggest using an older version of entity from the utilities section. I use entity 1.1.5 and i find it to work great and easy to use but i dont know of anywhere to download that.

wo0ts · Post by **wo0ts** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 4:00 pm

ok well i hav entity alpha 1
and entity 1.4
and entity 1.5

Th2mods · Post by **Th2mods** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 4:04 pm

wo0ts · Post by **wo0ts** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 4:05 pm

When it starts yes. You need to use the controls to locate the BSP then you can use the controls to move to it.

no... and hold down the mouse button to move the camera around (i forget which button it is because i do it without thinking)
