Hello,

I have been working on a few Co-Op maps for my clans Co-Op server,
However I have ran into an issue... Dont Get It

The problem is..
I can get everything to work except buildings, in Level Edit I cannot find a building outside texture? Here is what I need for these maps: The outside of buildings, it matters less if I can enter them. And they need to be damageable. I tried Gmax but the issue here is.... I have found buildings for Gmax, but there are no import options for my .mix or .lvl renegade map from Level Edit.
How do I get buildings onto my map? Huh

Thanks, and have a nice day.

You add buildings in RenX, not LevelEdit. The exteriors are part of the physical terrain of the map.

You open RenX and import the .gmax file for the appropriate building(s), position them where you want them (making sure to join up the terrain to the edges of the building) and then export the map as normal.

Okay, so a few more questions..
I thought I had the buildings but I am wrong Big Grin

Link if you can, unless I find them before then.. Big Grin

Also.. my map was made inside of Level Edit using the hightfeild editor. How do I import it into Gmax to place the buildings?

Thanks and sorry for the (probably) very stupid questions.
I'm clueless Big Grin

I am not sure you can add buildings to a heightfield map, since they have to be placed in RenX and not LE. You can get a similar effect to a heightfield map by creating a plane in RenX and setting it to have something like;

Width: 250
Height: 250
Segments (X): 25
Segments (Y): 25

(I don't recall the actual name given for the two segment options inside RenX, but it should be something similar). Then just click on Z in the toolbar at the top to lock it to editing height of verticies only.

There are lots of tutorials on renhelp.net about creating maps, either using heightfields or using RenX. Have a look through them and see what suits you.

There was one that showed how to do buildings with heightfield maps, but unfortunatly all the image links seem to be broken on that one... typical eh?
