I did what you said, and it works now. I also linked to the demo bitmaps.map file instead of the full bitmaps.map file this time ;)

Map loading takes almost forever but it doesn't crash when loading.


Many people don't have two or three button mouses. Holding control to emulate the right mouse button to change the camera angle causes the movement keys to not respond. This means I can't move and change camera angle simultaneously. Could you at least have some sort of a setting?

Edit: I found a three button mouse somewhere.

Edit 2: When I opened it, it began loading the map again and it crashed.

iMac G5 1.6 GHz - PowerPC
Mac OS X 10.5.8
512MB DDR SDRAM

NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 64 MB


Edit: Problem solved when I deleted the starlight.auto file.

New problem: I have to do this after I load a bloodgulch. Making a .sh script helps automate it, but it's still ridiculous that I have to.

That's the file to delete; I had been wondering. The preferences file didn't make a change beside needing to reset preferences; it didn't really "reset" the application.

It's still very annoying that I have to use the right mouse button. I like my old one button mouse; holding down control disables movement buttons and causes objects to translate upwards. I would like a preference for what type of mouse I have:
  • One button mouse
  • Two or Three button mouse

Edit:
New Problem: Cannot select multiple entities. I've tried holding shift which isn't working :(.

Edit 2:
New Problem: Saving destroys the map.

And it was never tested/created for PPC.... Once I finish the mod downloader, ill take another look at the wall tool.
Hey, they might even link together *HINT HINT* ----) .````:) :lol: :roll:

Here's another concept: The server program also reads "bloodgulch.mem" which is a new file containing memory modding instructions.
If you choose, all map edits will be saved to bloodgulch.mem in memory modding form. This could then be sent to the clients (as like a 200kb download or something as opposed to 14MB upload). This would only work for maps with scenery changes unless eschaton also implements this.

Code: Select all

Note to modzy:
Eschaton already knows the offset to the different things in the map. The memory offset of something in halos memory is map_magic + offset

I have selection issues, Samuco. Selection is temperamental.

1. Start with a default bloodgulch.map file first.
2. Use the terminal command above.

The terminal command is in the "Swordedit" forum.
