Do you mean the ffa_coruscant level by Krattle? Since scripting doesn't work in JO mp I think he used func_trains. You should know how to do trains if not there's some tutorials out there. In the func_train entity window enter these values: key-- m...  [Read More]

I think all the shader code is there but the textures aren't but I'm not sure since I haven't looked into it much. Some models don't work well as a regular misc_model either. Try misc_model_breakable or misc_model_static....  [Read More]

What modeling programs to you have? If you don't want to spend anything $$$ get gmax (it's free). I don't know if these models came with the sdk or what, some of the JO models are missing textures. If you have JO just put the missing textures into J...  [Read More]

Don't get too carried away all your great ideas are gonna cost ya. The skyportal has a price on performance right off the bat and if you're doing a city with wide open spaces and lots of NPCs and stuff to draw it's gonna hurt. Test out what you want...  [Read More]

Have you tried a noise or soundset key in the entity window? It might be too quiet to hear though depending on where it is in the map. If this were an sp cutscene sequence I'd have the sound played on the player using a script....  [Read More]

First of all, smack your brother. Are you talking about the sky textures from the game itself? If that's so then you could reinstall the game or see if you can get those assets from the CDs. If they're custom sky textures you're SOL....  [Read More]

I think you should use triggers for the func_door. For moving the lift you use key:lip value: the height in units to go up ( you may need to use a negative value) Don't forget to put a wait in your triggers....  [Read More]

Taking screenshots in game in all 6 views won't turn out perfectly because the camera view isn't a 1:1 ratio. Have you tried Bryce 5? You could import your plant/tree models and make an entire scene with it. The price has dropped a lot since it came...  [Read More]

A soundset is a group of sounds that work together. "door_stone_start" may be a part of a soundset but it's not the name of it. Check for a txt file called sound in your assets and you'll find all the names of soundsets you can use....  [Read More]
