Red Bull Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Wikys Tut I am currently ATTEMPTING to make a deathmatch map. This is my first time ever using DEdit. I will post updates proggesion screenies etc...soon. It will consist of Tags only . Challenging but fun. Progression - 1% Still needs Rooms A Sky Tags Pretty much that basic stuff. Questions Another one. I tried processing my world and it says Error opening the dat file for output. try again? Another one. Is there anyway I can make it so no one spawns with a pistol or kantana?

[TNT] Sonic Goo Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 1. you choose one of the twodimensional views 2. you press the space bar (red dot appears) 3. you move your cursor to a position away from the first red dot 4. you press the space bar again (another red dot appears, connected to the first one by a white line) 5. you do that two more times forming a square 6. you connect the last white line to the first red dot by spacebarring on the first dot again 7. DEdit asks for a thickness (if you're in 3d mode) - enter something 8. you're done! Does that do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ƒƒ5•ßahamutZero Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I think you can change the default weapons for your map when you create a .cfg file. (more detail in the documents "Content Packs and Modifications") Ex: [Mission] NameStr = "My New Map" Photo = "Worlds\RetailMultiPlayer\DD_MyNewMap.dtx" DefaultWeapons = "Tazer,Beretta,Compact Codebreaker,Keychain" Change to: DefaultWeapons = "" That might do it. It should work on basic ("retail mod") servers. As for the error, •Save And Process the map •Check the output paths: Click on Process button In the project path it should have something like this:C:\Program Files\Fox\No One Lives Forever 2\Game\ •Then check your options: Click Edit->Options->Run Values should look something like this: (in this order) C:\Program Files\Fox\No One Lives Forever 2\NOLF2.exe C:\Program Files\Fox\No One Lives Forever 2\GAME -rez engine.rez -rez Game +runworld "%WorldName%" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Bull Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Dam your confusing me But ill try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ƒƒ5•ßahamutZero Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 The .cfg file changes what name it displays while loading. It also lets you use your own loading picture. The last part should control the default weapons a player spawns with. That file has the same name of your processed map file (a .dat file), but using the extension .cfg and they go in the same folder. To make a cfg file: Create a new .txt file (right-click on your desktop or in some folder, click New, click Text Document) Add the lines like in my last post. Save as myexactmapsname.cfg The last part of my post, I described how to set-up DEdit to make it process and play your map (hopefully correct).

[TNT] Sonic Goo Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I believe this is what you need to have filled in to process it properly LithTech.exe C:\Program Files\Fox\No One Lives Forever 2\ -rez engine.rez -rez Game +runworld "%WorldName%" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ƒƒ5•ßahamutZero Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 oh and, you can't have more than 5 rez files in your Resources folder, or have any mods active before you test run a map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
