I am trying to find a way to setup maps so you can have more distruction
when a wepon is fired. Fast kill? and blowing up maps?

I have the VPP builder but i am new to this.

Any help?

Something like the Weird Server, When you fire a rocket or some kind of missel it blows up a lot more of the map than standard.

Reminds me of a time when people accused me of overworking the filter. Self-censoring is something everyone should do. Nice that you made it obvious you self-censored.

Back on topic

Mess around with the values, usually the higher the better. Just find a spot where you do the most damage without half-killing your computer.

Ghostkid (? Whoever it was that said kladblok), kladblok is notepad, which is the same thing MS calls their text editor.

For a VPP editor, I'd recommend VPView32, as it keeps the code in line. The thing about using IDEs and other editors when programming is that when you export the code, it is smashed together to compress space (yes, whitespace does equate to disk space wasted, so the IDE takes as much of it out as possible). When writing in Notepad, the whitespace remains, so the stuff is legible.

The point of that statement was that you should use the integrated viewer in VPView32 when you modify your files.

you can open any file in notepad, all documents had to come from script at some time, but i would recommend using Decent Managers .vpp tools for editing RF files though. it seems RF uses alot of its own formats insted of universal ones.



heres a sample of a rar file opened in notepad:

Thanks to all, I did play around with the values and got the damage
to work on the maps. Now the problem i have is when i load it
for the server and i go up on the other computer to test it out.
I cant get in, It says i don't have the date of the servers file.
Also when i try to join other servers it says the same thing.

Hmm Now what. Are they talking the dats on the Table.vpp file?

Thanks to all of you for putting up with a newbe to this editing stuff.

After i get this Date thing right then i want to mod some wepons.
