Well, you could have a good waypoint network built, and try bs_wander (behavior_state). If you wanted a more intelligent behavior for them, you would need to place navgoals here and there, along the waypoint network, and specifically command the npcs...  [Read More]

Opening scroll? The text crawl in SP? It's a tga image that you can edit easily enough. It's hard coded to be displayed after the Star Wars logo roq (this is a video file) has been played. The 32 bit tga image containing the scroll text is menu/vid...  [Read More]

Entities are entities. They have no role in VIS process anyway, so it's all the same if you turn them into details in Radiant or not. It may affect how you filter them in editor, but it has no meaning in the compile process....  [Read More]

I don't know why you are worried with 60 fps. That's still a very good fps altogether, especially if you say you are already done detailing your map. Even 30 fps is very playable, after all. What comes to compile, just make sure your map is not leak...  [Read More]

Well, I meant the mod source material. Genuine, generic material from the games itself does not really concern the mod. For spawn scripts, you would also need to edit entity properties, that is, the map file itself. That's why you would need complet...  [Read More]

1. & 2. Do you have access to the source material? If you do, then you can do that with a spawn script. 3. The Howler creature was only added to JA. I don't know what is a test model, but seems likely it shares that condition. 4. By editing the...  [Read More]

You best bet might be 3DS Max or equivalent. Render the movie, then make possible post production in After Effects or some other program, and render a targa image sequence. Then use the roq compiler that comes with the editing tools to pack the image...  [Read More]

Jolly good work. The corridor shows real architectural genius :p Maybe you could allow some scripted (or just entity based) control of some of the machinery. Thus, a cunning player could wait near the controls and when a gullible player walks down...  [Read More]
