2 floor minimap? & How do I scale up a msh? [Solved]

[Grev]

Im trying to make a map of the EmPal SurCon center, the large dome tower in which anakin gets transformed into darth vader. However the map is a two story map, with basically 2 same floors, with several varieties. Also, since I can't model, I need to scale up some assets, and I've been unsuccessful in the past with scaling up models. So, can someone explain how to scale up models, and is there a way to get around the 2 floors minimap issue?

Thanks!

For scaling up mshs look in the Everything you need to know thread

[Fingerfood]

Or simply do this:

Get the .msh you want to scale up and create a msh.option file for it. (i.e. If you wanted to scale up a yav_tree.msh, you make a yav_tree.msh.option)
Open up the msh.option in a code editing program and add this line:

Code: Select all

-scale 2.0

Then if you want it to show up in ZeroEditor rescaled, add this to the .odf under "GameObjectClass":

Code: Select all

GeometryScale   = 2.0

NOTE:
2.0 is twice the size
0.5 is half of the size
1.0 is default size(no change)

Possible side effects of scaling with an option file include your object disappearing at angles/distances and buggy collision ingame.



As for the minimap issue, maybe you could have a partially transparent or dotted lines showing the first floor? Or maybe you could move the first level over to the side, take a screenshot of the two levels side by side, and then add teleports to the areas moving from one level to the other.

There's no real way to set up a 2 story minimap. Bots can't have paths above each other or they get confused (if you watch closely in Rattatak, you'll notice they're never on the upper floors).

Ok, so I figure the only way around it is setting the 2 bases in the same room on opposite sides.

Alright, sorry to bump this but what if the msh doesn't have a msh.option?

Make one for it. The best way is to make a copy of an existing one, rename it to the name of your MSH, and then change the content of it to whatever you need.

Oh thanks, I'll try that.
