It's a pain but remember you can press alt-f on the edge you want to pivot from.

I definitely know that trick, It's pretty hard to make sloped terrain and cars without it.

I figured you knew it  .. yeah slopes/terrain in build is tricky to make. |

I may have found the problem.  But, unfortunately, that doesn't mean I know how to fix it. This is part of the source code for Shadow Warrior, I've never used this programming language or any programming language that has to be compiled. |

forrest70.map (39.29 KB) It's coming together, very very slowly. I haven't added in most of the tree trunks yet and the right side of the forest hasn't been worked on much. I'm going to add in lighting while I'm building so that I don't run into the same lighting problems I had with my warehouse map. Is it laggy at all? What would be the best way to add in lightning sprites at the edges of the leaves? (I might have to do this a few hundred times per leaf sector, so I need a way that isn't too time consuming.)

That many sprites for such a thing isn't really advisable, frame drop and possible crashing.
I'll give the map a look see tomorrow hopefully, been a long day.
Oh and to the post a couple spaces up, modding the sw.exe or other files like that will make multiplayer games go out of sync more than likely.
It did when we would mod the fortune cookie and frag messages back in the day anyway.

Oh and to the post a couple spaces up, modding the sw.exe or other files like that will make multiplayer games go out of sync more than likely. It did when we would mod the fortune cookie and frag messages back in the day anyway. I wanted to do it with masked walls, but I couldn't get the texture to stretch all the way to the ground, so you would see the texture repeating which looks bad with the rectangular lighting texture. Also, that wasn't the exe. It is the actual source code of the game before it is compiled. (Source code is for humans to read and edit, when it is compiled it is turned into a language that the computer can understand and run. Computers run compiled programs faster, however, it is impossible to edit compiled programs and it is impossible to turn them back into source code.) I was able to download SW's source code from the internet. So, theoretically speaking, if I can get SW P's source code and I am actually able to understand it, I may be able to remove that annoying slope tilting and then recompile it. However, I don't know what type of compiler I'm going to need to use. I still have a feeling it might not be that simple though. |

I was able to edit the code, but Proasm's advice for compiling does not work. link
It seems parts of the source code are missing too. Do you know anyone who may be able to help with this? |

Some questions:
1. Is there an 'Undo' function in the Build mapper?
2. How do you delete vertexes and sprites?
3. How much do Shadow Warrior, Duke3D and Blood have in common when it comes to mapping?
Are skills in mapping for one of these Build games readily transferable to another?

Are skills in mapping for one of these Build games readily transferable to another? 1 - No, not really. You can press backspace when drawing a line to delete the walls you're currently making. You can select sectors/sprites with the ctrl-delete selection box but watch out for odd things to happen sometimes if mass deleting sectors. ( Make sure when ctrl-deleting to have the arrow(player) in the highlighted sector. 2- See above for deleting sectors/sprites. Or you can drag vertices onto each other along the same wall to delete them if you've created too many. To delete a sprite hover your mouse over it to make it flash ( selects it) and then press delete. 3- Duke/SW/Blood are quite similar as far as "physically" building sectors and placing sprites but the tagging systems are different. Building advanced effects like RoR is achieved differently between the 3. Essentially you can create the world in the same manner, but making it come alive with tags is different between the 3. Also, welcome to the forum |

You can select sectors/sprites with the ctrl-delete selection box Ok, you mean that thing where you hold down ctrl+del and then you just hover the mousepointer over sectors, right? I think I just figured it out. Yeah I aint quite there yet. Probably gonna tackle doors next. Thanks a lot. Hopefully I can nut up and actually finish a map one of these days, and help breathe a little life into this classic. Another question; is it possible to somehow move around sectors in 2D mode? Like maybe if I want to combine two separate sectors that are far away from each other? |

Hold right ctrl and when you move your mouse it will create a green box to highlight things. Then when it's highlighted, press delete, I always place my arrow (player position) (right click) in the sector to be deleted although I don't think you have to. You can play around with right alt selection box too (purple) When you select a sector or group of sectors you can drag and drop them in 2d mode.

How u change the shading on a whole sector instead of just one wall or floor/ceiling at a time?

Let's say I make a train as a sector object. Is it possible for me to have have two stations at both ends of a linear track and be able to have the train depart a station whenever the station's switch is used?

SWMapster is telling me my level is moderately corrupted when I load it. Is there a way to fix that...?
Already tried left shift + left ctr + enter, it just tells me all pointers were checked. I haven't noticed any glitchiness.

What is considered a Corrupted Map by SWMapster?
Is there a readme listing what it checks for?

Is there a way to prevent a sector object from crossing into another sector, besides raising the sector's height above it?

Hitag 147: SO_DRIVABLE_ATTRIB
TAG2 = Angle speed (1 to 16384)
0 provides a default speed
TAG3 = Angle "slide" amount (1 to 100)
TAG5 = Match triggered when the driveable is operated with
the SPACEBAR.
TAG6 = Movement speed (1 to 16384)
0 provides a default speed
TAG7 = Movement "slide" amount (1 to 100)
BOOL1= 1: Don't shake the screen when running into something
BOOL2= 1: Trigger match tag TAG5 + 1 when the player
presses SPACEBAR to stop driving the sector object
BOOL3= 1: Sector object can only be driven from a remote
TRIGGER_SECTOR (hitag 140)
BOOL4= 1: Rectangular clipping - the outer 504 bounding
wall loop of the sector object serves as the
clipping box. The wall loop MUST be a 4 wall
rectangle. This is the only alternative to the
default clipping provided by the operational code.
This clipping is better behaved because it never
allows the sector object to cross sector lines.
Take note of bool4
I had to search a bit to find my spritags.txt..it's been awhile.

If you're a fan... you're niche enough and withholding content is very poor taste.
