Re: Copy & Paste Plugin

Sorry I was away for a while. I'm not really sure what I can do at this point. Have you managed to get a "Hello World" program compiled and running with .NET? Have you tried? Let me repeat what I wrote earlier: I can't really give you instructions for how to use whatever development enviro...

Re: Copy & Paste Plugin

Can you get any plugins to work? Which ones? None. I have both .Net framework, GTK and Mono installed and still nothing. All plugins are IN the Weland Plugins folder. I don't know how to force Weland to use .NET or Mono, but I'm pretty sure just having them both installed will always default to one...

Re: How to make one full scenario Including Physics?

I've never done any editing of physics files, but if I'm guessing right, I think what you want to do is adjust the origin of the projectile sprites. Just to clarify, you've replaced the fighter sprites, but not the projectile sprites, right?

Re: Copy & Paste Plugin

I'm not sure, but there seems to be some difference with running against .NET versus Mono. Theoretically, it should be the same, but it might be worth trying. Do any other plugins show up in the plugins menu? Do they work? In particular, you should try the two included plugins and the circle drawing...

Transparent door/portcullis/gate

Is there any way to create a transparent door, i.e., using a transparent texture on a platform side that will allow the player to see through it when extended? The answer seems to be 'no', but I thought I'd ask the experts before giving up. Is there perhaps some trick to do something like this? For ...

Re: Where is the underwater door in Garrison?

That door is not actually underwater. When you emerge from the underwater tunnel and come into the pool, there is an opening to the north that leads into the main water area. Standing in that opening, you can see a trooper on a ledge just to your left. The door is behind him. There is also a secret ...

It's been a while since I looked at this map, so I forgot the switches in the Pump Control Room. Yeah, you don't have direct view of what those two switches do, but seriously, if you have a hard time figuring those out, you probably shouldn't be playing Marathon. The platforms they control are in th...

Re: Weland Plug ins

What version of Weland? What does your Weland directory look like? Which plugin(s) have you tried? Some of the older ones don't work with more recent releases of Weland because they need to be recompiled against the same version of Mono (I think).

Re: Obed is Broken.

Weland's plugin feature is broken. To be precise, it's not currently working for you. Clearly, it works for others. But let's back up and try to fix the original problem you had. Use 'Recenter Level' to create more space on one or two sides of your map(s). If that doesn't move things enough, draw a...

First things first. Have you tried "Recenter Level" from the Special menu? If you need to move further than that in one direction, just draw a line on the other side of what you currently have, i.e., if you need to move everything to the left draw a vertical line to the right of everything...

Re: Obed is Broken.

Weland has a "Recenter Level" function under the Special menu. Or you can use the CopyPaste plugin for Weland - among other things, it can do shifting/translation of the entire map when copying from one map file to another.

You might want to check the system log as well, either with the Console (/Applications/Utilities/Console), or just use cat or tail to look at the file directly at /var/log/system.log.

If you have trouble with that, the CopyPaste plugin (which you already have) also does scaling.

Re: Is there any map editor for a Mac OSX?

Before someone comes along to bite your head off, I'll note that the FAQ is woefully out of date. Weland is your best bet. You will also need to install the Mono Framework . You can either download and install that manually, or I think you will be prompted to do so if you launch Weland without it in...

Yeah, that's kind of what I meant - most of them (the Infinity textures) look ridiculous on the floor, regardless of what the designer intended. Ultimately, I figure that's a minor problem and probably easily fixed by using larger texture sets. I wish I had the skills to create my own textures, but ...

I was thinking the same thing about outdoor noises (wind, perhaps the heavy machinery if I put a vehicle outside). But I'm not sure how effective that would be since even with the doors open I doubt the player would be able to hear anything from outside while in the control room with the switches. I...
