Have you got all the neccesary effects .gsc files?

No.How?

If i try i get Script compile error

ff viewer is good for the effects gsc (mapname_fx.gsc/mapname_createart.gsc). you can write your own map gsc. just look at the iw4_credits.gsc in the raw folder.

Thanks for the tip.I was trying to load the ents file in your editor but it didn't work can you please help me?

run it from the command line and tell me what the exception is.

(java -jar "d3dbsp.ents Editor.jar")

most likely it isn't reading the file right because it needs the line endings to be formatted correctly. Try opening the file in wordpad and saving it.

dont call "maps\createfx\cliffhanger_fx::main();"

You havent extracted it yet.... also most of that code is useless.... its just extra stuff that got copied over from using oilrig as a base.... you always need to add spawnpoints in the ents file and the compass triggers is only because of the multiple levels.

 

#include common_scripts\utility;


main()
{
  maps\mp\_load::main();
  game[ "attackers" ] = "allies";

  //maps\createfx\cliffhanger_fx::main();

  maps\mp\_compass::setupMiniMap( "compass_map_cliffhanger" );
  setdvar( "compassmaxrange", "4000" );

}

run it from the command line and tell me what the exception is.

(java -jar "d3dbsp.ents Editor.jar")

most likely it isn't reading the file right because it needs the line endings to be formatted correctly. Try opening the file in wordpad and saving it.

A little more help please.I can not understand what you mean.

I only know that this:

java -jar "d3dbsp.ents Editor.jar"

means that u should run something with java

can you send me your ents file so I can do it? (attach the file, don't just paste it here so I can get the exact formatting)

Your message contains too few characters.

It works just fine for me... although you do have about 5000 ents in the file which is over the max for multiplayer... try getting rid of all of the "node_pathnode" ones...

A tool for removing AI spawners and nodes would be cool.

I already added it to the editor. Just need to make it nicer and I'll post it when I get home. Any keywords in the target/classname in particular that should be removed (other than node, actor, and sp)?

and some trigger multiples used for ai spawning?(some of them are used for sounds though)

Updated Version with that new feature plus more flexible loading of ents files.

NO matter what I do it always stucks on awaiting challenge

Updated Version with that new feature plus more flexible loading of ents files.

"Remove Entites not in Box"

oh and hurr durr... "DEL" support would be nice, it takes me more time to remove an entity with your editor then just delete it in Notepad++ :/

meh... to be honest I don't do much editing with it ... I just use it as a base to do batch editing in the file... most individual editing I do in notepad/"import from gamelog" with rendflex's mod.

You mean death barriers? Or walls (aka bricks) ?

Either spawn solid triggers, or spawn a few script_brushmodels.

 

I wouldn't recommend doing what Toolbox said as you can reach the DOBJ limit.

don't script_brushmodels vary by map? (I may be completely wrong) Solid triggers work well and are easier to spawn.
