I never used vis groups cause I dont understand them... I'm like Orph with the mm's

visgrouping is a godsend for people with seriously undersized computers.

what it does it essentially remove what you see from the mapping grid, in essence rendering the PC to more easily draw what is left.

to visgroup something, say a table you just built... press CTRL and left click each piece of the table till the whole thing is red, then click the little box on top that says "hide selected object" then it will appear on left as "? pieces hidden"

edit this to say "TABLE"

then all you have to do is click on it and a tiny little hand will appear pointing at it.. press "whatever button is left" i don't have 3.5 installed anymore i have 4.0 and it has different words..

but essentially, that is visgrouping.. just remember, the invisible stuff is still there and do NOT map in that region.. else you will overlap.

ok...ran thru the updated version this morning....5+megs at this point already....and how many parts are left to be included, not counting mine??....wow

missing some textures yet, so im thinking we need to do a complete compendium of parts, and quit this searching s**t....and man, its waaaaay dark....but i like the layout so far pretty much...ill do a detailed critique after while, gonna be a busy day....

ok....small prob....talked to moneyshot...the boy's been in and out of the hospital of late, guess his throat swelled up to the size of a dime, thought it was gonna shut on him...tonsilitis i believe he said...now hes fighting the flu.....but, he doesnt know if he has the CS wad that he used anymore, sooooo.....we'll see what happens...i didnt bug him about it, he didnt seem too well yet, and i felt bad for bothering him....anyway, we'll press on as best we can till we can hook up with him, and figure out what to do....sound like a plan?

Doc B...

Doc B...

thanx cass, we may need to go that route....i was kinda hoping we could just retexture the damn parts tho, im not real fond of CS in any form or fashion...
