Re: Help with the AI in DLE-XP

Sorry to jump around from topic to topic Sirius. I wrote that last question (about the mission accumulation) without even seeing your previous post (about the polview/texture stuff). This is because the thread bumped to page 2 without me noticing. I just saw your last post now. So if I look back, I ...

Re: Help with the AI in DLE-XP

Thanks. I didn't know that. I just made an ice level with ice.pig, and blues do seem deeper. I'll consider this from now on. Anyway, I can't figure out how to put all my individual levels together into a single mission. In other words, when one level has been beaten, you go right to the next (and fr...

Re: Help with the AI in DLE-XP

The lighting sounds complex. I'm nowhere near ready to do lighting, but when I do I'll have what you wrote, and it'll just take some time to learn. Thanks.. In reference to #2, is there a way to just change its color without having to realign anything? If I could change its color, then why bother ch...

Re: Help with the AI in DLE-XP

Cool thanks. I haven't been on here in a bit, but let me make a list of things I still have to do to my levels: Btw, I'm okay with the texture alignment. That's just something I have to accept will sometimes take time. But the things I've been thinking about are ... 1) the lighting: I noticed severa...

Re: Help with the AI in DLE-XP

Cool, thanks guys. I think I'm okay for now on the robot mods and limits. My problem as of now is the texture alignment. When I bend segments, as you know, it stretches the textures. Then I click the red button under "textures alignment" that says "reset texture." This fixes the ...

Re: Help with the AI in DLE-XP

Okay, I see that it involves things that I don't want to get into. I can just change the texture of a medium lifter for now. Maybe I'll get into how to alter the color and make a pog file later. Thanks Sirius, and thanks Alter-fox. Alter-fox, I believe I fixed the font error by downloading/installin...

Re: Help with the AI in DLE-XP

Thanks. In terms of multiple mods per level, I tried saving to the same hxm once for each robot like you said, and I got it. Here's another robot mod I would love to do: uncloaked heavy lifter (as seen on the cover of Infinite abyss). Since he looks just like a diamond claw without legs and a little...

Re: Help with AI, DLE, RbotEdit, HXM files - modify/replace

I see, but why is it that when I, say, download an encapsulated mission (with multiple levels), there is only one hog and one mn2 file that I place into the missions directory (the rebirth/missions folder)? And when I do this, I never see rl2 files in the Windows Explorer. I see them in the hog mana...

Re: Help with the AI in DLE-XP

Question: When I encapsulate all my levels into a single multi-level mission, will the per-level scope we previously spoke of still remain? I'm figuring that in addition to there being a single hog and a single mn2 file for the whole level set, there will also be a single hxm file. Our previous disc...

Re: Help with the AI in DLE-XP

Awesome! Thanks. I just did everything except for the last step where you said to add the .hxm file to the .hog file. I created the hxm file, but I'm stuck on the "add it to hog" part. So let me clear these two things up: - How do I add the hxm file to the hog file? Do I do it through DLE-...

Re: Help with the AI in DLE-XP

Whats up, I've been playing around with haxmedit32, and its hard to figure out. So let me ask a question: Through the tutorial, I noticed there is an example that imports a .pol file. However, I was under the impression that for the hulk idea, I would create a .hxm file using Rbotedit, and then impo...

Re: Help with the AI in DLE-XP

I see... I downloaded dp2003 and dp1105 from Pumo's site (the link he provided above). I'm guessing they're the ones. I'll try them out. Thanks **edit** I just installed it, and I'm still getting the tahoma font error. **edit edit** Okay, I just got the tahoma error to go away. I'm almost there! Now...

Re: Help with the AI in DLE-XP

Thanks Pumo. I'm almost there! I just ran rck03b.exe, and it gave a font error: "can't find tahoma in system/system32 directory." So I copied and put tahoma.ttf from my windows XP machine in the system32 directory. And it still gives the error. The splash screen starts, but it isn't until ...

Re: Help with the AI in DLE-XP

Cool, thanks a lot. I'm going to get the necessary external software and work on it, but I can't find HAXMEDIT32. I've found several sites where its offered, but when you click on it, there's a 404 no found message. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Then I came across this thread (http://www.descent...

Re: Help with the AI in DLE-XP

Thanks for the prompt reply. The error message reads something like "too many segments for this level version." But since you said that you have yet to see the editor actually disallow it, I'll have to experiment to determine if it actually refuses to write-out. It could be saving regardle...

Help with the AI in DLE-XP

Hello. I've been using DLE-XP versions 1.11.69 and 1.11.81 to make a 30 level set (24 + 6 bonus). My problem is with the behavior of the robots. They seem to move around too much. They start chasing me before I even enter the room they're in. I was thinking that for the most part, they should at lea...

Re: Descent Mission Builder

One thing for sure- thank you guys for your prompt replies. You're very fast! I appreciate it. Anyway, there is no error message from DLE. The window starts, but doesn't render completely (you can still see the desktop through the editor because it doesn't fully fire up). It hangs like that for a fe...

Ok, thanks so much for your input. I knew something was wrong with the way my computer was rendering the DMBII editor. So here's my next question: I downloaded the DLE-XP, but the file I downloaded is a *.7z extension (dle-1.11.69.7z). It shows up on my desktop as an unregistered file-type icon. Is ...

Descent Mission Builder

Hello, I have been messing with descent mission builder (version 2.1 b) that came with the descent II infinite abyss game. I found this in the basement. Apparently, I bought it long ago and have never played it until recently. For the background, the system I'm trying to use this on is a Windows XP ...
