Well im looking for soem person lvz, its for a map called town where each person gets to make thier own house. I thought instead of making us fly around in ships why not have us be humans.

Well from what I know you have to make 40 rotations by hand if you don't want them just spiraling counterclockwise. Then you just name the Wb Ship1.bm2, Javelin Ship2.bm2 and so on and in the .lvz you type

Outfile=Ships.lvz
File=Ship1.bm2
File=Ship2.bm2
File=Ship3.bm2
File=Ship4.bm2
File=Ship5.bm2
File=Ship6.bm2
File=Ship7.bm2
File=Ship8.bm2

Then you just Build it.

BuildLevel.exe

or is it MakeLevel (what's the difference?)

Buildlevel.exe You get it in the Lvz Toolkit do a search for it on SSDL or just ask MGB it is his after all.

makelevel is old, it used to have a nice function that buildlevel didn't have, but now buildlevel has it

do not use .bm2, use .bmp or .png or .gif or .jpg, but do not use .bm2

use .bm2 and I kill you (unless you're using it specifically just to fuck with people's minds, then it's okay [like using all .png's renamed .bm2])

You don't really need a shipmaker to make ships. You can just use Adobe Photoshop, or any other Graphics Design program.

What is wrong with .bm2?

Purge - Wed Dec 22, 2004 11:28 pm
Post subject:

A .bm2 is an unfinished version of a .bmp, so you are safer to use that and a .png

How should you make each ship? like 40 small pictures besides each other??... and if so... what pixels?

make one ship facing up any size you want, then rotate it using EZ Image Rotater. Finally create your .ini file as told by people above and turn it into an LVZ using CreateLvz.

btw i meant like a picture turning, not rotating. but i guess i have to just edit it raw in bmp file

Post subject: bahh....

to rotate just go to subspacedownloads.com, and search the archives for "SOS", is will give you a ship rotating program, very easy to use

ROFL Suse

And btw, rotating vs "turning"... this reminds me that eventhough I have the 3dsmax scene template for shiprolls, I am not sure if I'm gonna use it for my next shipset, simply because of the fact, that althought your own ship is banking, opponents flying around are just turning here and there like a pinned bug. That's why I guess that shiprolls in LVZ will be just a waste of a bandwidth....

Ya, but I cannot stand looking at _my_ ship without rolling images; not unless it's little army dudes or something.

Plus, really, at this point downloading the rolling images is not going to take very long at all.

If you have a template for 3ds then why not make it publically available. Then we'll have one for Bryce and 3DS.

Didn't guess that anybody could use such template - I can't hit anyone good in 3ds max on SS (well specifically dsb). And if there were some 3ds max veteran, he would probably comment it like "pfft, i can do such thing within 5 seconds, not worthy downloading...".

But if your asking for it SuSE, I will clean it up and post somewhere.

You might wanna start with resizing your huge signature.

Then you might try to read my post about how to use the template for ships in 3ds max.

Have a nice day.

i like my signature

(but not my ship, i was merely showing it so you could tell me how to make a better one)

Quote:

It's version 6, so you can open it in both 6, and 7. Short info is written inside the scene. There is also some sample fighter - use it for your reference to place your models correctly before linking them to the animated Dummy

the topic went out of... well.. topic, after that point
ps:can't you see i have to have it in with a silver spoon: just attach the program to open it with or something (or....TELL ME WHICH, DUH)

LOL, dude, that template is for max users. Now look to the mirror and ask yourself with a deep honesty in your heart: Are you the max user?

silly kid. if you think that you can make the shipset with rolls by a single click, prepare to hitting the ground hard.
