Detailed description

Animated monitors that each have four screens from which the screen rotates in 3 second intervals. The outer texture is not intended to stand by itself, rather, to be covered by the map to merge with the texture theme of maps.

maan you are makin AWESOME models! make more!
maybe i make a new version of D.O.C.S!
It will look sooo great with the monitors and the warning lights!
maybe you would add me in xfire? (kraid07)
then you can explain me how to make own models.
real persons are better than EVERY tutorial.
i would be more than happy!

Thanks for the comments Kraid. It would be easier to download a free irc client and join the irc.quakenet.org server. Join the #sauerbraten channel which is where alot of contributors hang out. I can help you with making models.

If you use Firefox, download the plugin "ChatZilla". Google for it.

I tried this in a map with

mapmodelreset
mapmodel "animonitor/monitor"

and several variations based on other cfgs, after putting the animonitor folder in packages, later in packages/models. It wouldn't load the model, saying first it couldn't find it, then "not loading md3" and "not loading model." What am I doing wrong? (because obviously it works somehow)

The correct commands are;

mapmodelreset
mapmodel 0 0 0 "animonitor"
mapmodel 0 0 0 "animonitor/screen2"

There are two versions of monitors, each with different screens. The above commands will make them available in a map.

These monitors are KILLER!!!!!!!!

i just got them working in Sauer - GREAT JOB!!

i'm gonna put these into "The Adam Parker Missions - Day Three" (which i'm getting closer to releasing...)

i might find a spot for your new warning lights, too!

ok - i've put both version of your animated monitors into my new map, BUT -

when i light the map, they pretty much just go black and you cant see the graphics changing inside the monitor.

i've tried putting light entities right on top of them, but they still are just black pretty much as soon as i light the map and not in fullbright mode...

it's almost as though they are made not to reflect any light?
(did that make any sense??)

any suggestions?

thanks -
:)

Try:

Make sure models are being lit: /lightmodels 1
Calculate lighting at a higher level: /calclight 3
Up the ambient lighting from '100' to a higher number in the md3.cfg: /mdlambient N

Umm.. that's about all I can think of at the moment.

Kraid | 2007-09-15 20:48

if the named things dont work, look in the options menu for "model lightning" etc. maybe something is turned off.

Models will not light up properly if they are too far inside geometry. Try pulling them out a bit.

junebug | 2007-09-16 20:29

Kick ass - Makke!!

they were indeed a touch too far inside the wall i had them on - pulled them out a wee bit and POOF! they're lit up!

whee!
