Any need for weapons or Items

Yes, yes. I did that. I took the exact same filename for the rock, (See above) and simply increment it by one.

So,

PLC_NT_Rocks20.mdb - Exists already.

PLC_NT_Rocks21.mdb - Is the file name of my file.


I'm not getting what I am doing wrong here.

The placeables.2da file does not have an entry for your *21 rock. That is why it is not appearing in the Toolset.

[breteas]

Ah. And the fix?

[Duster47]

I TEMPORARILY loan you an existing unused 2da file entry line.

See PM.

[breteas]

Awesome!

[breteas]

Duster... You rock.

People. We are in business! Woohoo!

[breteas]

Did I mention you rock Duster?

Luna, how do we handle this?

Edit: The 2da entries Duster mentioned. Obviously we cannot have a rock reffered to as a painting.

Nice one. Be nice to have some good stalactites like that filling the UD areas.
when you click FPS, how much does this model increase it when you put it into an area vs another model? Just for comparison reasons?

[breteas]

Tfunke. lol You'll have to gimme some guidance concerning toolset. Cause while I know some stuff with it, I am not entirely sure what you are looking for. Here's screens of the altered model, and the original.

Altered:


Original:



I am assuming the number 216 is the framerate? *Shrug* It mentions lots of stuff, half of which means something to me, the other half I'm clueless about.

I figured if 3000 placeables did not change any statistics, the model is basically the same on gpu load wise.

For the record,

My computer is well over 7 years old, has a Ati Radeon 1900 extreme (512ram), 2Gb of ram and a Athlon 64 X2 Dual 4200+ Processor, running at 2,21 Ghz


The only thing that runs slow on my computer, is the freaking game and the toolset.

The first instance of the model you put in the area will increase that number, but it wont go up by putting more of the same looking module. It might be useful to keep an eye out for when you build more intense models down the track, but that stalagtite really shouldn't be big at all. Certainly nothing to worry about.

Breteas for now just put this placables.2da in your /override folder.
Do not load the bg haks on your module.


Open the placables.2da with a text editor.

1) Copy and paste the last line of the file.
10492 Painting39 **** 0 1 PLC_MC_PAINTING39

2) Bump the number to 10493 where you pasted the line.

3) Change Painting39 and PLC_MC_PAINTING39. Painting39 is the name that will show up in the appearance sub-menu for a placable (so this is how you change the name). PLC_MC_PAINTING39 is the model name.

4) Save 2da

5) Exit toolkit if it was opened.. re-start it, and make your placable.

Try that and see if you can get that working to start with.

Yup will do.

[breteas]

Folks, I'm looking for the 2DA file that refers to objects/npc's. Basically anything that moves. Anyone have an idea what file that is?

[breteas]

Also, after reading some tuts on RWS site, it looks like Ima have my hands full just with making placeables for now. There's alot involved relating to walkmeshes, pc's walking on to models, footstep sound generated and what not.

The good news is, I've not come across any tutorial yet that makes wonder where the options needing to be set are located in the software I use. Just a lot to take in for now.

Further progress will be left here to keep you guys informed of how it's going.

Edit: Luna, your tip worked. Concerning placeables. Editing 2da file and dumping it on Override makes it appear without loading BG_Hak.
