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. But i dont kno how to make ships. Does anyone kno a good shipmaker for me to use? Or if someone can help me make them that would eb good as well. Thanks.

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 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 · Posted: 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.

Thanks. I asked someone and they said just that

(after i posted)

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

StepUp · Guest Offline

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

should also be in the misc user apps forum

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.
