i have had an idea, but need some advice (tips)

i don't want to make my map so huge ittake a year and a day to walk across the field. So how does the ratio between feet to whatever Gmax uses (pixel) so is it 1 pixel = 1 foot or something different

i looked thru the tutorials and didn't see that.

also i tried loading my prototype map into renagade editor
and it didn't work this is what i did , maybe i missed a step

1) create new mod
2) clicked terrain
3) clicked Add
4) Named it Castle1
5) got the M_modelname
6) .../castle.w3d into the box
7) clicked ok
Cool

clicked Castle1
9) clicked make.

but it failed to show and i got a blue screen Sad

thank you for your help
i hope my first map will be decent. Smile

What I do is make a box that's 1x1x2 and use that as a scale for how big I want my stuff to be. It's just a little taller than the actual character but it's a good idea of how big to model.

Lol. I didn't think anyone would remember me. What do you mean "wanderer"?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, punch. But after having stoped modding renegade for such a long time I don't remember anything.

Just merge the havoc character model that comes with the Renegade Public tools into the map, resize the map to this, then delete the character model.
