List of problems

Since I've been posting so many topics lately, I decided to save you all some trouble and pile my current troubles into one post.

A) I'm getting a TerrainMunge error whenever I try to munge my map. I think it's because I'm using terrain-cutting objects (bunkers and trenches from Hoth), because I read somewhere that placing too many will cause problems. By my last count, I think I have 5 or 6 placed. I don't think I'm over the limit, but I don't know for sure.

B) I'm also working on a space map, and I have both a planet sky prop and a Death Star sky prop. When I load the game, however, the Death Star prop looks like it's merged somehow with the planet. How do I move sky props in my .sky file?

If anyone can help, that would be great. Thanks.

My best guess for the second one is perhaps the offset has to do with location of the objects. Honestly, I never really messed with it, but I doubt MovementScale is significant to location. As to where I am getting this from:

Code: Select all

    DomeModel()
    {
        Geometry("geo_sky_arena");
        Offset(-20.0);
        MovementScale(0.995);
    }
Unfortunately, I have no idea about there munge error. In any case, good luck with the maps.

I deleted most of the terrain cutters and it works now. Turns out I had about 5 hidden underground 0_o. So we can scratch problem A. Thanks for all the help.

Still don't know how to move the Death Star prop, though . . . I just want to move it to the other side of the sky, but it isn't moving at all whenever I change my .sky file. Any ideas?

it should work with offset, type for Offset(-20.0); for example 300 to try what happens
