Need Help with Chunk Adder and Spawns

Post by hellknight »

Ok I tryed using glitchies chunkadder and coord finder to add in new weapons now let mu run thru my problem

First off My map size is now 54 mbs instead of the 44 the unmodded version is 39 and it still made it 54

Also when i use the chunk adder no matter how many chunks i add my map turns out being 54 mbs.

Also another problem i found is that the coord finder for coag is off b/c none of the x or y coordinates that are really in the map show up right and the coordinates it gives me for coag are always 3 or 4 numbers longer than anyones that already exist in the map.


Also my newly added weapons NEVER show up NO MATTER WHERE OR HOW HIGH i put them

And also EVERY TEXTURE in the map FLASHES black and back to normal like every five fucking seconds it could cause a fuckign siezure

I have no idea what i did wrong yet i follewed 2 tuts on pint with it exactly.

So i then tried doing it to a new map and what i found disturbs IT STILL MAKES THE GODAMN MAP NO MATTER HOW MANY CHUNKS I ADD 54 megs WTF how could it take a map athat 39 megs and make 54 with just one fucking chunk wtf.

Im not dissing it out but i cant get it to work for me at all no matter what i try ive used weapons ive used machines ive even used vehicles i cant get any to work all i need to know is...

Are there any other mvf files for coag with more accurate coordinates?

Is there maybe and updated chunk adder/Scnr Plugins i need?

Or Maybe someone could make a tut for adding things into coag?

I really dont think its the chunk adder but maybe another utility for adding chunks? Or Maybe a tut for adding chunks in hex?

I really need help wih this b/c right now my mod is at a complete halt.

Also one last question to this already long ass rant/questonaire :lol:

Anyone here use DarkMatter I got it but i really dont know much about it What are its pros/cons and has anyone done anything that none of the other H2 editors can do with it?

Thanx to anyone who just reads this :lol:

let me guess are you insolence also?

try importing all the thing to your map before you add the chunks
and after you added chunks dont not import any thing else to the
map through insolence, it will screw that map up!

so
import everthing you need to
then add the chunks
then play around with the cords

as for dark matter im not to sure about it, i also would like to know more
about it!!

ok everything i injected has worked when i swap it into a itmc thats already there.

all tho the mach i wanted to add was the base shields from containment i also put them into a unmodded coag and tryed to give it a spawn it never showed up so i really think that the coords iam putting are totally off.

Can some one please post know coords that they have gotten to work on coag so i could at least see if its just me or if its the coords

so when you switch the mach for the itmc tag(the x,y) you can see it on the map?
but when you try to spawn it some were else using the cord finder it dosnt show up at all?

try finding the cord for the rocket lancher and test
it on the cord finder see if it is in the middle of the map,
sounds like you doing everthing right though.
