Yeah, it's pretty unreasonable of us to ask people to not be stupid assholes, I know.It's harder than you think.

Hey, be nice.
Besides, your post has more capital letters than his does.
Besides, your post has more capital letters than his does.
Childhood is not a race. It's a journey.
Now now, no need to name call. There is probably a logical rational reason it was in all Caps. Since it was in an FAQs thread, I don't see the reason why it would be capitalized intentionally. It doesn't look like a bot, since it knows about Marathon infinity and the Pfhorums. The English is a little cut, and diction is quite interesting. Lets assume there is either a cultural/language barrier or maybe it was translated. Or perhaps the Caps key was broken on the keyboard. His first post was in all lower case, so you never know. Besides, I'm sure it won't happen again.NOTE: You may get help faster if YOU DON'T TALK IN ALL CAPS RETARD!!!!!!!

Mac laptops have the function keys mixed with the Mac control keys (volume, brightness, whatever). The controls have greater priority over the underlying function keys, so in order to override that, you have to press the "fn" key that's on the bottom row of the keyboard, and while pressing it, press F8 (or whatever Aleph One feature uses a given function key).∞Durandal∞ wrote:i have a few questions.

There isn't really much of a guide. I remember that a manual existed at some point, but Pfhorge itself appears to be abandoned. As much of a hassle as this it will be, if you really want to edit maps, you'll need to set up an emulator and use Forge.Q2# where can i find a good guide for using pfhorge?
Doors are actually platforms, so you'll need to mark the polygon as a platform and mess around with that platform's properties (check the Forge manual, inside the Infinity manual, located here; there are also some useful tutorial videos on that site).Q3# how do i get doors to work in pfhorge?
There are two meanings to this question. The first is "a good web site to find physics models," which doesn't really exist. Most people who make independent physics models don't have much talent yet, so they do the simplest thing possible (physics) as opposed to the harder stuff (maps, editing shapes and sounds, etc.). So the result is usually a pack of novelty effects that you could come up with on your own. Now, if you're looking for well-done physics models, try unmerging a scenario like TGI or similar, which has physics merged in. Or, if you are just looking for a quick, but thoughtful model, take a look at LegacyTyphoon's Total Carnage++.Q4# where is a good website for physics?
The second possible meaning is "a good web site that gives an in-depth look at physics." Well, the good news is that such a thing does exist: Mark Levin's Physics Model Reference.
Grayswandir, if these questions aren't on the FAQ, go ahead an add 'em.

If you hold down function (fn) on the keyboard then press f8, they should turn on. You can get around this problem by turning off Quick Keys in the System Preferences under Keyboard...however, you'll have to hold down function (fn) on the keyboard from then on and then press the volume buttons and the like to change those settings.

That's exactly what they're for! I'm glad Bungie cared enough to make them.

How do I add custom maps so I can play them in Infinity? I have a .hqx file here- where should it go?
You need a program like Stuffit Expander -> http://my.smithmicro.com/win/stuffit.html to open the .hqx file, in which case you'll find a map file inside. Once you get the map file, throw it in your aleph One folder, then select it under preferences -> environment -> map
Thankee! StuffIt helps a lot! One thing though- inside the .hqx file, there was another archive with a different extension. Inside that archive was the map, but for some reason the extensions had been removed. It didn't take me long to add them. .sceA for the map and .txt for the readme.Zott wrote:You need a program like Stuffit Expander -> http://my.smithmicro.com/win/stuffit.html to open the .hqx file, in which case you'll find a map file inside.

But if you do you're a fool, cause I duel to the death
Try'in ta step to me you'll take your last breath
