o and btw... people, stop asking why you cant export the levels, the question has ben answered about 4 times over in this thread alone. and i jsut posted a link to the .jms exporter. and it comes with a readme with instruictions on where the dll's and dle go. so unless you KNOW that the plugin\lack oof plugin is wats causing the problem then don't ask...

Images N Whatnot

Post by HOOA »

Hey Kirk Great Job On The Tutorials. I Followed Them And Got My Own Map Going Sort Of LoL. But I Am Having Problems With Images. They Work Fine When I Use The Tutorials But When I Use My Own or Even Move The Tutorials To My Levels Folder They WIll Not Work. Only The Ground Seems To Work. Not The Ones I Put On A Building. Also Sometimes When I Make An Object Missles And Grenades Go Through It. Could Someone Please Give Me A Hand. Sorry If My Questions Are Answered And I Overlooked Them.

Hey kirk, I know this topic is old, but I am still having problems with my map, I copied your tutorial exactly. I have a good video card. I was up until 12:30 a.m. trying to figure this annoying problem out. I though I was out of the woods when I finished the tool part. Then this happens .

These r my results...

I redid the tutoral 5 times already. Can I e-mail you what I have done and u can check it out? Thats if u have the time.

Once you put radiosity_save it should show the level.

Chicano, do you have a sky? If not, you need to open up your scenario tag in guerrila and add a sky to the level. Right now it seems there is no light. Once you add a sky, there will be a sun (or some form of light) and you will be able to see your level.
I like geckos. My friend told me only morons like geckos. Voila! Moron66213 is born.

The Paper Cats: I had this problem to, but when I checked my model in 3DSMax I noticed I forgot to link my map to the frame. So make sure your objects are linked to your frame.

Some great stuff in these Videos, please keep up the great, informative work. I was wondering if everything that applies to 3ds max can also be applied to GMax, as I don't have $3000 for the latest rev of 3dsmax 7.. I'm sure there are more than a few differences but generally speaking...:lol:
