Nice pics (again, hehe)
One question, can you give some details about what you'll have to do to reach the Reactor Room?? Or what stuff is going to be there to defend it? maybe 10-15 auto turrets and Probe Droids/Astromech Droids with little weapons to defend it??

one question: have you figured how to use the concept of the elevators?

if you will, it says in the readme that you should credit the crator: [RDH]Zerted and the source: filefront?

I love the idea of portals! Good luck.

By the way, does this mean that when I leave a certain room it may trigger a slight pause like what happens in the standard space maps when you leave, say, the life support room and head for the engine room? Of course, even if it does, it's an almost nonexistent price to pay for the excellence of this map!

Do you see pauses in tantiveIV, Death Star Interior, Jedi Temple, and Jabba's Palace? I should think not and they're sectored and portaled like crazy.

See, here's Tantive IV:

Yepp, but on the T4 there's no raging space battle outside and there are no other interior.
This means that the CPU is already busy and has to load the new room additionally, so there might be a minor lag.

So you're going with explosions for the daeth sequences? WIll it be one bing BANG or a series of explosions? Cause the series prolly would lag up a tizzle bit too...

i have a question: For your tantive halls, what do you use for doors, because i can never get the space doors to work. (not the tantive ones the ones in space maps)

You can get the Tantive IV doors to work? I can only get the space doors to work.

When you say "work" do you mean to not cause a program freeze or do you mean look right?

"what??!...no way...it cant be true...awww....that sux...WHYYYYYY...ect."

You can get the Tantive IV doors to work? I can only get the space doors to work.

i wasnt talking about the tantive doors, although i tried them and it crashed.

for the space doors i mean to get it to look right. i mean. my problem is that i cant line them up perfectly with the doorways;even the doorways that are made to fit with the doors. when i move them in eroeditor it moves too far in one direction. but thats only one thing, it is complete hell trying to get those doors to go in place of tantive ones. so what do you use for your doors?

also, is there a way to 'lock' the space doors so they cant open?

xwingguy · Post by **xwingguy** » Sun Jun 18, 2006 11:33 pm

I find it ok that the space doors are overly large. Matching them up with the space rooms seems to be the hardest thing.

To lock a door:

SetProperty("nameOfDoor", "IsLocked", 1)

To unlock a door:

SetProperty("nameOfDoor", "IsLocked", 0)

is there a way to move them just a tiny tiny amount, instead of using the traditional C-left-right-center mouse buttons?
