Hey I was wondering how you can customize the text placement ( I know the top left, "bottem(LOL)" left and center and all that) because I fiddled around with it and now it is all messed up. In eschaton 0.7.2, under HUD globals > Main > Int16s (what does that mean btw) I found MeP anchor offsets but they seem to have no effect on the MeP anchors (HUD globals > main > Enum 16s(again, what does it stand for))

Also, is there a TuT for 3rd person halo?

Also (again), last time I used Hex, I got the .map~, and that is the modded map (not just the HEX mod, but other mods, too, that happened before)

And, finally, in swordedit, for the object spawner, how do I actually get the object in my map?

Here ya go. A tip. Create one big topic instead of 50 different topics. We will be happy to answer your questions if you at least put them in one place.

that's what he just did. <_< yay!


text placement: what?! what did you change! look in hudg! o_o

3rd person: no. there is a cheat that taxi could never make work. <_< ask PPC users!

.map~: yeah, it is a backup that hexedit automatically creates. <_< you can disable this option in its preferences IIRC.

adding objects: what do you mean? <_< spawning an already existing object that's in BG? (like a log)
duplicating an already spawned object? (like whatever tree or rock?)
or adding an object from another map and then spawning it?

[Absurdistof]

For the spawning, I want to get a log in there. To the best of my knowledge there are no logs in BG, and I cant figure out how to get one in...

and for the text editing, the hudg... yeah... I moved it around, so now its all weird... like way, WAY above where it should be (its by my weapon data now) and I just want to know how I can customize its place via x and y intercepts.

Oh other OT question: I go to upload a beta, but where do I upload

[TaxiService]

uhm... to get a log in there you must... uhm... - open your map in swordedit,
- after it loaded, in the bottom-right corner of the window there will be a button. it says "Spawn Creation Editor"; click it.
- a window should pop up. under the Inactive Scenery menu highlight the scen you want, and then hit the "Activate Scenery" button.
- now that scen should be active and swappable normally. ^.^

for text editing:
- eschaton.
- hudg > ui/hud/default
- int16s > MeP - anchor offset x and y? o_o isn't that what you're searching for? their normal values are x = 0 and y = 60. <.<


to upload use filefront or mediafire. don't need to register, but it helps @_@

[Absurdistof]

Ok, I'll try filefront. Thanks.

As far as the anchor x and y go, no matter what I did, they would not change the placement of the text.

And for swordedit, I hit that, but I assume I should be in the translation mode? oops..

Finally, does force affect all objects or just players? and what would a high force value (i.e. knock you across the map) be?

Finally, does force affect all objects or just players? and what would a high force value (i.e. knock you across the map) be?

About 50.

[Absurdistof]

And that applies to players only... right?

[Rofldonutburger]

No, it also applies to vehicles, weapons, powerups, etc.

[Absurdistof]

Ok, cool.

Back to the other question... I still cannot seem to move the text, with the x and y anchor changes

[Rofldonutburger]

Things just don't work sometimes...

[sparkman taylor]

hudg -> (starter entity plugins) -> Int16 -> MeP anchor offsets x and y

I think the values are in pixels from wherever the anchor location is set under "Enum16s -> MeP - anchor" right above that.
