I tried to view the 1st outskirts BSP in the viewer (not transferred to MP) My computer gave me an "error message" that didnt have any text or an OK button, blue screen of death for 2 seconds then restarted the computer.

=P

I was trying to see if I could move locations of the AI's spawns.

Ok.

On Google, I searched "latest direct x download".

The first result I got was: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx

On that page, I saw a link that said:

Get the Latest DirectX Here
And where did it lead to?

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en

That download doesnt do anything.

I don't know... I think he said
"Hope this helps. It's a really quick video I made and I might have done things you don't need to, but it worked for me. First I opened my map in ADI and nulled out all the shaders. I the sbsp tag then flattened the coll to 0 with GG sbsp tool. Then did what's in the video, except I finished placing the spawn points and resigned the map with cmr. I hope this helps someone.

And what do you mean "i the sbsp tag..."

I seem to be having problems converting a bsp now. I drag it over and it acts like it's converting since but once it returns to normal when I can edit again I realize waterworks is still using it's original BSP and nothing has changed. (BTW, it gave no "Ok" message like it usually does.)

why would you wanna flatten the collision on the existing BSP, or null out any shaders?... the BSP gets replaced anyway with a new one with new shaders and collision

idk lol im still a noob at this itys just wat i did and it werked lol

Converting a new bsp is not a drag and drop process guys!!!
look heres the easiest tutorial ever on how to do it in Entity Alpha.
Open sp map.(Im using metropolis as an ex.)
Open gemini.
Check parse and recursive in metropolis(sp map).
After you checked both boxes go to the bsp tag and click the bsp/blah/blah/efwe4g
Then click save and save it anywhere you want.
Once your done saving go back to gemini and click build at the bottom right.
Then you click the .info file of the bsp you just extracted.
Once youve clicked build and w/e you just now converted the bsp. Congrats

You also have to remember to find a spawn point.

here is a tutorial for a bsp conversion:
check bsp meta size, make sure its smaller than the new map
clikc the sbsp, click recursive,click parsed
save and then build into new map
open up the viewer
if you cant find the bsp, keep zooming out with s and rotating randomly with the right mouse button,change the speed if you want to, maybe that will help you.
anyways click the types of spawns you want to move to display them, then click select all
click find the first selected spawn
then move the camera with the keyboard
and you will be standing by all the spawns, you can use middle mouse button to deselect them all, then pick one place to move everything to and select the spawn at that point and then click move everything to this spot
thats pretty much it

Would you not have to replace the old SBSP with the new one in the scnr tag?

The RAM / and-or graphics card on your computer might not support Direct3dX.

Just to let you guys know, if you have the latest directx installed you can run 'entity' with just the plugins folder next to it

if you dont have the latest dx, the app will always look in its directory to see if the .dll's are there instead (and as pokecanca was kind, they are

)

What im getting at is that the directx version installed on your pc wont make a difference, other variables will (e.g. your graphic cards memory etc)

Good app pokecanca, obviously alot of brainpower went into it

hey can i ask what the secret button is:

?
