Wow, you used my face for at least 6 different soldiers! Let me guess, I was the only one that answered?

All right, I fixed the holes in the wall, reverted the "laser wall" to a normal concrete wall, added some clutter in the main hallway, removed the message because it became a pain after a couple of times. Can somebody upload the files to the master?
By the way, I do not think connecting the rooms would do anything useful. Aliens have no idea what a flanking attack is.

Overall a nice map. Kind of oversized, to be honest, but still nice.
Thanks!
Sorry, but I have a problem: I have downloaded the .map files from https://github.com/ufoai/ufoai/tree/master/base/maps/solarplant and I cannot open them with Radiant! The Radiant simply does nothing when I load the files...

Krilain, I've never tried to use Cad for mapping, Radiant is simpler and quicker . I just use the Radiant for the map making and the 3DSMAX to make small .md2 for decoration.

Thanks for the help, I managed to find the problem!
The error was the "Is secondary false" line. It should have been a "Is primary true" line. Now it works perfectly. Thanks again. Now, if someone could help me with the UV skinning I would appreciate it.

ok, thanks, I've already solved the "scraprifle_ammo" problem and added the UFOPAEDIA entries for both the weapon and the ammo, they both work. I've already tried to add the following lines to the "campaign_initial_market" and the "campaign_player" entries in the Equipment.ufo file:
but the scraprifle is not appearing in the buy/sell nor in the production menus... I've checked the console, no error messages!
Code: [Select]
item (scraprifle 1)
item (scraprifle_ammo 12)
but the scraprifle is not appearing in the buy/sell nor in the production menus... I've checked the console, no error messages!

Sorry, I am having some problems. I've created a new dir called "scraprifle" in the models/weapons dir, with the md2 and jpg for the new rifle. I 've added this code to the weapons_human.ufo file:
Then I've added this code to the researched_list.ufo
and this code to the research.ufo
copied from pistol, again.
But when I start a new campaign the scraprifle is nowhere to be seen. What am I doing wrong?

However, Superxdude, do not give up! If I can manage to download a working copy of the Radiant and to make a decent map, then anybody can!

« on: November 23, 2012, 06:22:37 pm »You're going to need tags, which are small triangles put onto models to tell it where to attach various other items. For weapons, you only need a tag_muzzle. The character models have tags which tell it how to equip your weapon.
OK, got it thanks, I have created a new tag, named it tag_muzzle and exported the .tag file with the script. Now, if you could explain me how to implement the new rifle? I can copy the assault rifle entry in the weapons_human.ufo file, changing the path for the model and the name of the weapons, but I do not know how to add this as an usable weapon. Should I add a dummy tech in the research.ufo and a ufopaedia entry?
EDIT: I managed to put the files in the SMG dir, it's enough to test the graphics. As you can see for yourself, I still have some problems with the skinning. I unwrapped the UVmap, packed it and rendered the UV template (all in 3ds max, of course) but the result is not what I wanted. Can anyone help with the UVmapping?
My idea is a rifle cobbled together by a bunch of engineers with access to a CNC lathe and a lot of desperation. It's the kind of weapon I could build if my factory was attacked by aliens.

Hello!
I am trying my hand at modding weapons. I've just built a model for a new rifle (I need it for my mod), but I cannot make it work. I've built the .md2 and extracted a .jpg, but I do not know how to apply a little light spot, how to tell the engine from where the bullet will come off and, more important, how to put it ingame. Any help will be appreciated.

The latter two points are not technical, so I will revert these changes on demand. So you should be able to use the maps from master without losing something.
LOL, I thought that the light fence was an abomination! Please remove it, since it's too futuristic for the map, it has a lot of errors and it slows the play horribly (too many light sources and polygons). For the solar panel, your idea is much better. Can you remove the light fence on the master, so I can work on that. By the way, where is the master to download?

All right, welcome to the world of mapping. First, beware because many versions of the Radiant and of the ufo2maps available for download are corrupt. Try to download another version of the UFORadiant, maybe the one from the 2.5dev. I am including the ufo2map.exe, the tool you will need to test and compile the maps. Run it via DOS, the procedure is:
To start with the mapping, follow the "house" tutorials although they refer to the older version of the Radiant they are good. Then, open a small map tile and play with it a little. Good luck boy, the first time I was almost crying and I use AUTOCAD at work...
Code: [Select]
ufo2map -fix maps/[path of the map]/[name] This will fix some errors
ufo2map -check maps/[path of the map]/[name] This will show you all errors of the map. You will use this a lot
ufo2map maps/maps/[path of the map]/[name] This will compile the .map file into a .bsp readable by the game
