Hey dont disrespect mac users, they're more design conscious than the average PC user 
... plus they never need to buy anti-virus software  |

Bah.... PCs are far better. I spent 2 years buggering around with crappy macs and I have yet to be impressed once.
But still, I guess it would be mean to leave those people out completely. |

| Quoting mad_ferrit | Interesting discovery IAC, WELL DONE I'll have to give that a whirl, although I rarely see any need for more than one song in a level, keeps the non-music lovers at bay too 
JUST TO MAKE SURE NOW, HAS EVERYONE REFRAINED FROM USING MUSIC EVENTS IN THEIR RFU4 MAPS? I THINK THIS IS THE FAIREST WAY SO AS NOT TO EXCLUDE ANY MAC USERS THIS TIME.
|
 non music lovers can just delete the mus anyway i might have to use music events cuz i have some costom ambient im gonna want looping and i dont think u can use an ambient sound for looping costom ambient ao the only way i can think of to make it loop would be events... isnt there a way someone found out to use mus events but not crash rf if they dont have the music? if there is i need to know how

hmmm mispelling 'custom' twice and italicizing once is just a shame. |

I think you can use the Cyclic Timer Event instead of using the normal plethora of events. This way it does not crash mac users or so I believe. However, I have only used it once and it was for a sound on a keyframe, I havn't tried using it on an AAmbient Sound. Someone else might be able to clear this up.

I Figured out how to do the cone in the brush issue. I had to use an air brush into the side of the "cabinet" that was the same size as the solid cone I was trying to carve into the cabinet. I did have the air brush cone checked as a portal but changed it cause I want to have one on either side of the room facing each other and I don't want that hall of mirrors or any other problems with it being a portal. I've read you can put it right thru the center of the map, but, also read to keep it away from geo, any other portal warnings? like near rotating brushes? 
The cabinet was just a solid brush with a smaller air brush inside. It will be one of many speaker cabinets that will be in the map. The solid I was trying to carve into the main "cabinet" just fits into where I placed the air brush of the same dimensions. The solid cone had to be made to detail also. It has a hole on either side of it so player can see and be seen from inside the cabinet.Sniper
| Quoting lacrosse51 | | Open up a 64x64 transparent image file in photoshop. Save it as ____.tga in your custom texture folder. Use that, it will be perfectly clear and won't allow bullets to go through. If you don't have photoshop, IM me and I'll be glad to make one for you. |
About the tranparent textures, I tried to make in Photoshop, but, It wont let me save em as a tga for some reason. If some could send it to me that would be cool. I found that any texture that i checked show sky in the properties allowed any weapons includin player to go tru that textured side. I'll use that I guess, in the map somewhere, but what I really want is to be able to wall hack like inside the floor speaker in Microfaction 2, with only rail going thru. Player can't see thru the texture inside the box on that map until you walk right up on it. That's why I'm sayin wall hack style.
I'm going to try the invisible texture thing. I just remembered someone mentioned to try that.
Mad Ferrit, I got your IMS, I replied and thanks for the illistration. I feel like I'm getting my RED education right here in this forum Mapping is frustrating,creative  and fun  |

That's because you have a geforce card and if you walk upto a brush that's leaning towards you and use the rail site then that wall becomes invisible. The sniper and PR can also see through even a flat wall when you zoom in, but, unlike the rail gun, the bullets wont pierce the walls.
IAC, you did them remember, the only difference was that I tidied them up a bit
cut the image out and place it on a transparent background leaving a transparent border all the way round. Save as a 32-bit .tga and then use one of the Particle Emmitters from IAC's Desk. Save it as a group and load it in, just change the Texture |
