ok , i was trying to get the terrain above a snow bunker but then it blocks the path into the mountain? how do i make it so it can goes inside the mountain without lowering the terrain below the bunker?



also , when i save a map in zeroedit , which folder do i save it in so i can munge it and turn it itno a real map ?



another question too. how do i turn an object , if its facing north, how do i make it face east?

Forgive me if i'm too descriptive with these answers.


>1: The bunker has a terrain cutter which automatically takes away the terrain so you can underground objects. best way i found instead of trying to get rid of it is find an object to place on top of the bunker, mabye a wall or mabye conceal the missing landscape all together.
>2: Save to the Data(modname)\Worlds\(modname)\World1\modname.wld file.
>3: To turn an object, hold down the x key and use the mouse.
>4: All of the vehicle files are stored in their respective sides which are found in sides folder in the assets, from there you just pick a side and search for the vehicles file. Note that if your going to use a vehicle you'll have to take the (vehicle).odf file as well as its subfiles(its meshes and art files).

Astute, if it were a tunnel going into a cliff face, is there any way to make that work without the entire Bespin building entry crud?

when you launch the editor with your map, the first camera view is north so, whichever way u are facing when the editor comes up, that is north.

Sry for the slow reply,
Epena: If you mean without a bunker like look, just a basic tunnel, you can find a good one in the Assets\Shipped_Worlds\Rhen_Var folder, search for rhn1_prop_tunnel_entrance. From there just gather the approporiate .msh and .tga files. Otherwise if you just mean a spot in the terrain thats open, i'm not really sure how to make terrain cutters.

Squirrel7Hunter: Yeah, its your zeroeditor file, the .wld file. when saving just save over the previous .wld folder in there. Just as a side note on .wld files, remember to keep backups, too many maps are lost to corruption.

If that RNV tunel doesn't have a cutter on it, then that won't help. Ah, well.

I'm pretty sure that it has a cutter, and i believe there are two tunnel entrances on rhen var harbor. If ice doesn't suit you, you could always reskin it to look muddy or even metallic.
