Equinox Sceneries
« on: February 21, 2007, 08:19:01 pm »
Hey has anyone had a look at equinox in polyworks.
It's scenery list contains gfx not even included with the game.

Is it suppose to be like this?
And if so why don't any errors pop up in-game saying your 'missing scenery blahblah.bmp'?

The map isn't using those "extra" scenery-gfx, so no error will occur.

I'm guessing it's because MM JayBee was experimenting with the scenery on Equinox in order to find some suitable scenery.  Any scenery he didn't use must've been deleted from Soldat.  PW keeps in a list the scenery used on a map, regardless of whether they are currently in use or previously used.

If you select "Clear Unused Scenery," all those nonexistent scenery files will disappear from the list.

Iv noticed that it doesnt work that way.. you will only have a transparency or white area.. I don't know why but soldat doesnt send a error message.

Eagles_Arrows guessed it right.
Also ctf_Equinox wasn't made by MM, it was made by Tha_Doggfather (who is still around as JayBee... and still a mod o.O).
You shouldn't have to worry about these in-game since they're not used, but it will certainly give you trouble packing each map with the right scenery-gfx files... ;P

Yeah that's what I'm concerned about. :-\
I wonder how many other maps have listed sceneries which aren't in use

Most of the defaults, pretty much ;D (Remember, the original MapMaker did not have a scenery-cleaning function.) But they all interweave (ones not in use are used on other maps, unlike ctf_Equinox), and Boxo has supposedly been fixing them all up on that anyways.
