Re: Holy mother of god: entire levels as objects inside leve

Minor update: it seems levels loaded as objects can actually be manipulated. Only tested this with two levels, C3M5 (escaping German army in the half-track) and C6M2 (airport in Prague). Not sure why it didn't work with Underground, though I'll check it out when I get the chance. Unlike levels thems...

Holy mother of god: entire levels as objects inside levels

Apparently, and I've yet to fully test this, but it's possible to open an entire level as an object in another level. This is absolutely new to me :shock: Inspired by Jason telling me no mod had yet fully used the maps included in LCGames' Insanity Tech Demo, I was looking at what I could do with th...

Re: New Campaign notes

Well, Lars did the Mousetrap mission based on the tech demo's island. But yes, I also don't know any mod that took advantage of either Underground or Achixu. I can think of two ways to take advantage of Underground: as either part of a larger map (which would require 3DMax, which I don't have) or an...

Re: New Campaign notes

So, latest updates. Since I'm not just working on a single mission (though maybe I should, since I'm new at this), here are some images of what should be the first level in the campaign, a forced landing on a Polish border town, occupied by Germans. The base template for the mission is actually C3M5...

Re: New Campaign notes

Y'know, I just did a quick test. I downloaded the LCG model and image pack, placed the corresponding files into their folders, and I can load the models - but not the textures as well. I thought it might be some folder mismatch but it seems like a different problem entirely?

Re: New Campaign notes

No problem. Here's the image; it's a resized version of an original WW2 poster (I needed a quick image to test object texturing before I went overboard with new textures of my own). Even if I end up using it, it's appropriate enough for the game :mrgreen: Also, been tinkering with vehicles. I wanted...

Re: New Campaign notes

No worries, Jason ;) I still have a lot to learn and am taking it step by step. As for the textures, I just tried making a different one for those cylinders, with the "Cirkus Humberto" ad: Original: http://i49.tinypic.com/11ru49e.jpg Different version: http://i46.tinypic.com/2pq9lpv.png I tried two ...

Re: H&D Deluxe completed in 86 minutes (stereo 3D video)

I just watched the whole thing. Good show trolling all the AI. Bravo! :lol: Though, now I'm kinda disappointed with the game. Specially with the first mission in Greece. I spent days trying to solve it, and was frustrated to no end with Stealth being apparently useless. I kept wondering if it had to...

Re: H&D Deluxe completed in 86 minutes (stereo 3D video)

Hahaha, well done! Most of the time I was thinking a chat between troops would go like "You go ahead and I'll run for the exit--- er, I'll keep the rear safe!". All of that reminded me how much of a "slowpoke" I am playing these games. Some quick notes: what was up with the grenades at the start of ...

Re: New Campaign notes

Also, what is the deal with new textures that retain the same size, colour depth and format not showing up? Should they go into the /maps folder or the /mymap/maps.mod folder? Either doesn't seem to work :/

Re: New Campaign notes

Cool! I had used GT to try and understand the other names in the map, too; hence the florist and the dog barking near the butcher shop :mrgreen: though I was uncertain about "zelenina das grünzeug". Since there aren't any veggie models in the game, guess I'll just place the sign on the nearby buildi...

Re: New Campaign notes

Btw, I'm still unsure what to do with this:

It's the sign nearby the second bombed building. Since I'm "restoring" the city, so to speak, I'd like to place this somewhere where it makes sense. Anyone reckon where the sign might have been? :)

Re: H&DD and Hex Editing!

Ok. Yesterday I had a terrible night. Two straight hours of H&DD editing down the toilet, though I can't tell if it was related to tampering with the files or simply a bug in the editor. This is just an update to explain a small development. So far I've managed to replace four different objects, by ...

Re: New Campaign notes

Thanks for the words, Jason :) Quick update. After some problems, both suffered and solved, the city is coming up nicely. So far these are the main visual changes: The auto-repair part of the map: http://s6.postimage.org/uucv1qggt/autorepair1.png Different angle from auto-repair (you can tell I like...
