Commander on ns?

Map didnt work sorry.. :sad:

Sorry bud, you can't link things from your HDD.

ok....i took this from the ns quickstart guide...it explains the cull better than i could....

"In order to limit the amount of processing the commander's machine has to do visible entities are culled (hidden) beyond a certain horizontal distance from the player horizontal position (this effects ALL players). This value is specified by the "XY cull distance" property of the info_mapinfo. If entities are vanishing in your large rooms when you are far away form the entity this may be the culprit."

and heres the link to the applicable page, if you need it....remember that these came out for the original NS. and havent been updated very recently, but the principles are basicly the same, and should solve your dillema...

hope this helps.....

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

EDIT>>> and ive been thinking about your tower problem a bit....if the overall dimensions of the map are not going to be very large, then you could probably get away with moving it to a distant corner, and make sure your command viewpoint distances are not going to let you collide with the tower....i think its a neat idea for a ready room, and i'd love to see it incorporated into your map somehow... :wink:

EDIT>>> and if you need to post some pics, you can either apply for some pit space here, if space allows, or you can gimme a holler and ill be glad to post em for you....you have my email addy...

I have all my problems fixed exept one... The View of commander chair... i know the hight and stuff.. i can see my rooms just not the stuff in them.. the solid as the roof is in the way blockin the view... how do i see thru that.... get what im saying :eek:

Hey Dr Brasso you got aim or msn?... it would be easer then posting 100000 time on here :biggrin:

yep....my stuff is in my profile....msn or icq...

and im not seeing the same problem you are saying you have....its fine in the compile i did, and all i did was change a few settings in the info_mapinfo....hmmm....have you changed anything pertaining to that since you sent your rmf?

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

Ok added you on msn... guess your not on yet... we can talk about my prollem on thier

if ur not seeing thru the ceilings put null texture on the ones that player wouldnt see anyway :smile:

Uh, NS has wall-crawlers and jet packs - there's not going to be many faces in the world players can't somehow see.

one thing to deal with here gents, he cant get it to compile right on his setup....im trying to coach him correctly, but the prob is in his setup so far as i can tell....hes drawing conclusions from hammers "test"....he'll get it going....ive kinda made it a pet project of mine... :heee:

book forthcoming....

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

Right on.

A word of advice: since it takes a lot more personal effort to help someone by looking at their map file, you will rarely find this sort of help at the Pit. Sometimes someone is generous though :smile:

What I'm saying is: "don't expect it all the time".

• text slightly edited in order to improve its grammar......

.....and change its meaning entirely, now I look back at it :sad: Oh well, that's the problem with lazy spelling (not my fault guvnor).

mikee, yer twisted, but i like it ....

im here death....w00t! whatever the hell that means... :heee:

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

"Death to iq" would be a more appropriate handle.
