Re: Designating the Liquid texture.

This is applicable to shapes file textures, without using MML replacements: The shapes file uses a specific bitmap for liquids. It is important you replace that bitmap with your new texture. The alpha property of the liquid (the transparency) is controlled by the brightness of the pixels. Dark pixe...

Anyway, I am a writer by trade and love to tell stories and game…what better way to do it than Marathon? So I have created a small, 4-...

Re: Bump map depth scale?

From experience the depth (or height) is not that great. Black to white ~0,050 WU . No data or anything to back it up, just my own observation.

Re: map reality

OK, just a quick question to the community: how important is it for your levels to seem realistic, like each room should exist with a specific function? I'd say it is fairly important. There need to be a context. Where is the player? A mountain, a mine, a space ship, spht ruins, pfhor space ship et...

Do you have an estimate for when you'll be releasing your maps? I'll make some Youtube videos of it once I can play it.

I vaguely recall that un-textured walls can elevate the player if he runs into them. That could be a problem, unless the liquid is placed high enough.

Re: Questions About Polygons

I do not think that polygons have a significant influence on load times. The number of HD textures in the map seems to make up the bulk of the loading time.

Re: HD Player Models (I think this will end up belonging her

For me shapes fusion would crash repeatedly, but when I switched to another folder it would suddenly work. E.g. I tried to save the exported patch in the shapes fusion folder, but it crashed shapes fusion. When I switched to A1 folder it exported without crashing.

Re: Aleph One apps have a lot of problems!

Problems I dislike in ShapeFusion: - Why can't I add a bitmap in between other bitmaps, so that I don't have to delete and add every other bitmap? There is no need to do that. Just add your bitmaps at the end. If you for some reason need to move them around, there is copy paste. Apart from the wall...

Re: Complex lighting problem

Sound objects can have their volume controlled by a light's intensity. In this case, a light can raise the volume when the door is opened, giving the illusion the door shields the inside from the wind when it is closed. In the same manner, a sound object can be made to sound only when the door is mo...

I agree with you. The error is with the shapes patch, because when I use a normal shapes file and inactivate the shapes patch from the plugin, the smg hi-res graphics do show up. It is strange. The frames/sequences looks ok in the patch file. Not sure what is wrong here =/ An observation: The dds fi...

Can you upload the plugin? xml, mml, marine shapes patch, marine pngs. I can troubleshoot it for you, but I need everything so I can test back and forth with A1.

Re: HD Player Models (I think this will end up belonging her

Since nothing shows up, I would double-check the plugin's xml-file, and the shapes patch included in the plugin folder. <shapes_patch file="XBLA Player.ShPa" /> After this, I would check Aleph Ones active plugins. Plugins can override each other. If there is another plugin with a shapes pa...
