Thanks, SK, I have the new test server up.

It seems to prefer the alley spawn now. 

Do you think the first spawn node is always preferred?

The CFC spawn percentage is about right--could I talk you into putting a few more nodes
on the roof of the front entrance?   

I guess that its a random number generator issue. 

Yes, it would be good to have a few on the roof and a few in the alley. 

If the server has a new feature, we should highlight it

I put up a test server, btw.

Hi SK,

A couple of requests for the CFC escape mod--

it seems that 19/20 or more times I always spawn right next to the pit.

Once I spawned in the alley.

Could you make it so that the likely hood of spawning out of the CFC is about 67%?  i.e. 1/3 in CFC, 1/3 on roof, 1/3 in alley.


Also, is it possible to make the units spawn facing certain directions?  For the alley, point them toward the rear entrance, for the CFC point them up the ramp, for the roof, point them to the courtyard CP.

Thanks

I bet the snipers are going to love it as well.

heh, especially since its a player side mod--we can snipe him in day light and he is in darkness

If I just made it clones Vs. Clones would other people be able to play without downloading any thing?

Yes (the server would need the new mission.lvl file, but players would not). 

They units would look exactly alike for each team, but the reticule would turn red for units on the enemy clone team.

Study it and make similar changes for rhen var.

Pay particular attention to the AddunitClass section.

When you make the changes, double click on munge.bat.  If you use

Thanks SK!



OK unit33,

this one seems to crash everything:
42_tiepilot.msh

There seem to be some issues with some of the MSH's calling a proper TGA file.

Please see my xfire page for videos and screen shots.
http://www.xfire.com/profile/

Then there are some low-res model issues.







Here are some munge warnings:

As I am new to skinning, perhaps another modder can help me sort a few things out.


I have these two files for "heavy":
ep3_deathgunner.msh
rep_inf_ep3deathgunner.tga


Did I do this right?  I replaced the GeometryName under class label with
the name of the msh file as
ep3_deathgunner.msh

and the other geometry name with
ep3_deathgunner

1) is the lack of a low-res version a problem?
2) is there anything I need to do with the TGA file?

My result is at the bottom of this post.

Thanks for joining everyone!  Sorry I had to exit for a bit.

I will leave it up for a day or two in case you want to explore some more.

one of the maps crashes....working to figure out which one...

ok, if it crashes again, we will remove the offending map and restart

sorry, i wasn't able to get it done last weekend.  Let me try now 

ok, i tried some things with the imp sides.  I can't say I did everything correctly.

Check out my xfire shots.

more later--

Thanks Schtick!

The DC is up now, feel free to try it out.

Otherwise, I will see everyone in a few hours.
