Re: TresCom Community Project - Trespasser: Reloaded
That's an interesting point. Yes I am willing to edit the terrain, just give some instructions with delivery of the level files on how you'd like it to be modified..
If you are good with exporting models and such from Trespasser, you can attempt to make a little mini level that has just your home's objects (including instance clones from IT; the parent instance needn't be present, its mesh will just be imported without an instance of the -00 model) when you're ready to submit. Might as well move the player to the loc of your house and use a copy of the released IT's terrain for it. It will save a lot of space and up/download time, but if you choose this method, please be careful.

It's normal that you say that because SketchUp was designed for architects.enigma wrote:I like those models in sketchup, is quite easy to use for designing buildings i've found.

Okay, but what about the names? If everybody names his house "house-00" there will be a conflict on import. Shouldn't there be a naming convention to follow?Draconisaurus wrote:If you are good with exporting models and such from Trespasser, you can attempt to make a little mini level that has just your home's objects (including instance clones from IT; the parent instance needn't be present, its mesh will just be imported without an instance of the -00 model) when you're ready to submit.

Watchtwr-00 FTW but otherwise I agree... some way of choosing names...Nick3069 wrote:Why? Do you have a basement?enigma wrote:

and maybe it's be more awesome to wait and see on the basement part...

My suggestion: build your house on the MiniLev, terrain included, then the terrain can be exported as a .tpm file and used as a template to edit the terrain where it will be placed in the final version.

Re: TresCom Community Project - Trespasser: Reloaded
Well, I'm doubting anyone is stupid enough to make an instance called "House-00"... But anyway, I will be checking instance names before import, and as stated in the first post, will be renaming instance copies as needed. I would ask everyone to pick a number to apply before their instances, like "-767##", but I doubt seriously this would be 100% followed and if I assumed that it were, we'd probably end up with people's objs overwriting each other. If you want to go ahead and do it, though, that's awesome. As for NEW object names, I really doubt identical ones will be chosen, seeing how much imagination is required to work with Trespasser and not give up in the first place..
You got it, can't wait to see the finished products...machf wrote:Dibs on "MyEvilFortressOfDoom-00", "MySecretUndergroundLab-00", and "MyInexpugnableDungeons-00"...
That should work just as well, if you don't mind me choosing the exact position of the house and being without a reference to the neighboring structures.. be absolutely sure it will fit in your plot. Also, I think only people wanting basements etc. will need anything but a flat terrain, making use of the minilev/startlev that much easier..My suggestion: build your house on the MiniLev, terrain included, then the terrain can be exported as a .tpm file and used as a template to edit the terrain where it will be placed in the final version.

Re: TresCom Community Project - Trespasser: Reloaded
This all looks really cool. I have the skills to use TresED but I have a really old computer where all of my gaming activities take place so I can't exactly use it . How long do I have before this offer is closed and is there any alternative to the TresED?

Re: TresCom Community Project - Trespasser: Reloaded
No alternative to TresEd I'm afraid, unless you assassinate a dev that happens to have GUIApp and the old MaxScripts.
As for deadlines, there are none, really. The project as a whole is likely to last over a year, though I would hope IT (and maybe PL) can be at least 90% completed by Winter..

OK, I hope to have a better computer on which to use my game tools soon so I will be adding to the community then.

Re: TresCom Community Project - Trespasser: Reloaded
Great to hear. You don't have to model your own home lol, populating an existing bungalow with your own stuff in TresEd is perfectly fine. Another fine method to go with that is replacing textures on existing objects (making sure the new images are in 8-bit format of course) to make old things look new, etc.

Me, Nick, TRK, Matt, Anna, Sam, Wolfy, Enigma, Rex, SI, machf, Nem, possibly Egghead and Reaper67.

Re: TresCom Community Project - Trespasser: Reloaded
I found a way to use Tres ED efficiently. I am working on a house as we speak. I want to give you the area that I wish to use but, rather nubishly, I have not been able to figure out how to post images. I would also like to know one other thing, when it comes to sending files do I send the level files or something else?
Thank you.

To upload a picture, you can use the "Upload attachment" tab when posting a message or use a picture hosting site like Photobucket or Imageshack and post a link to that picture.
What do you mean? Are you asking how to send your house? There are 2 ways:Reaper67 wrote:I would also like to know one other thing, when it comes to sending files do I send the level files or something else?
- make a level with only your house in it, preferably in the same coordinates, and send the level files.
- send all the TPMs, textures, etc in an archive.
EDIT: Damn! I wanted to post a little update, but I get an error when uploading pictures to Photobucket.
The Kitchen is mostly done, all is left are the doors and so is the shower, all that's missing is the shower head and the door.

Re: TresCom Community Project - Trespasser: Reloaded
Thanks for the info. As for the level saves, do you mean that I should delete everything else in the level or just make the house and save it like that?
Reaper's Plot....I know that this isn't the best picture but that's just what my editor looks like.
http://s731.photobucket.com/albums/ww31 ... Myplot.jpg
Wu's land is to the top, the pipe can be seen in the lower right corner and to the bottom is the large boulder with the Raptor B-Tribe standing next to it. I don't know if it would be OK but, maybe he could be relocated in the final version. It's not a big deal if he can't.
I had an interesting idea. My house is a bit small for the chosen plot so I was wondering if I could expand a bit. I have two different expansion ideas. I could construct a hallway to a second part of my house or I could make a few cages in which I would put a couple of dinos. I wouldn't move them but I would copy them. I don't know if that would work out but if it's possible I would like to try. The first option would probably be better for now, if any.
I have been working on my house (location can still be changed if needed) and this is how it looks so far....

My plan is to make it a two story house.
