Well... then what you could do for it is null out the model's shaders so it doesnt look so odd...

Something like that might fool ADI, but I'm pretty sure that what you're talking about (which I've seen before) isn't going to break down this tool. It is very possible though...

It's almost like they have raw data, because even duplication in the same map doesn't work. Or, just some odd type of internal pointer, primary magic pointer perhaps?..

OR, I could just null out the model, but then the correct one wouldn't be there, either.

Or, I suppose I could just set the object type for that specific object to -1, so that nothing is there...if only I had thought of that 6 hours ago

Its better than having this ugly thing in the air... and when (if) you fix it then you can swap it back... no harm done i wouldnt think...

yea i dont really see any of those in the phmo meta...man i wish i knew a little more about raw data to even begin to make some sort of educated guess as to whats happening. id say that it would have to be some sort of raw pointer

na, i was bored, so i wanted to see if any took me seriously. (other words just pointless spam

) ANYWAY, i love the mod. But i think it needs some better weapon changes. i give it an 8 out 10. Iv seen things iv never seen before in a mod, but i still think it could be better.

Since u were able to put that prophet throne (sp) into a multiplayer map u think this will lead to other vehicles (sp) becoming available in mp games?

wow, looking inside the map with a prog is amazing. seeing all the things you added, changed, etc. i cant wait till i can do this one day. btw, AWESOME mod. played it, but a few more things could change. but im sure the next version will be about 10x as jawdropping..

well if gabs says its 10 outta 10 (being the grinch and all

) must mean that i will have to test this out hehe.

its funny though...as soon as Junit goes to all the effort of getting his fp views with everything you go ahead and totally obliteratie it with injecting all the stuff and releasing it before he finished

yes bbs with a review

9.99999/10

It reminds me of that really cool SP mod you made for the Silent Cartographer.

Some little problems that bug me: No sound on the throne chair, and the blue flash happens too often (sorta distracting).

Obviously those things are very minor in comparison to all of the new stuff this mod introduces.

Thanks, Swamp Fox!
