New Level (Advanced): Carshow

Post by **Midnight Synergy** » Fri Jul 02, 2004 6:56 pm

The following is a test level/tutorial on how to use the advanced custom 3d model options.

When posting a regular deluxe .lv5 level, just post as usual with the subject "New Level: Levelname". When you post a level that requires either custom models or custom houses, post the subject as "New Level (Advanced): Levelname" and specify the model pack it requires, as follows:

This level requires the carshow 3d model pack installed. You can find this model pack in this post:

And here's a picture of what it should look like if all is done correctly.

How do I use the cars in the leveleditor? What icon represens them?

Use the A B C D objects, but you have to specify the folder first by pressing Shift & M so the editor knows what models to use.

Thanks popo, but it doesn`t work. I tried both "custommodels" and "carshowixswslx". Still no car

carshowixswslx is a subfolder inside custommodels.

What do I do wrong

It still doesn`t work

It works in the test levels from Patrick, but not in my own level.

Sizing and orientation does unfortunately take some fiddling. Check out the tutorial which goes through some steps and issues:

I do want to take the opportunity to mention that you don't have to always make your models sit on the ground. Things like airplanes, spaceships, planets, etc. naturally floats, and sometimes you might intentionally want things to unnaturally float too.

Or you might want to make a decoration that's suppose to sit on top of the regular wall or tree or house, those will be floating models too (unless you incorporate the wall/tree etc. into the model itself). You might even want to make models that are actually at a "below ground" level, for example imagine a model of a hole dugged into the ground. Use your imagination!

OK, now I got cars, but I still can`t get the rainbowhouses???

I use shift+m, and wright "testhouseslkxpo", isn`t that correct?

For houses you use shift + H

I am new at modles and stuff so I was wonering if you could make a chomper to look like a car.

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Thu Aug 17, 2006 1:31 pm

I don't think you can do this, however, you could hide a chomper in the car.

The picure with the cars looks familiar, but I'm not sure where I saw it before.

Well, I'm no technician, so I can't download these models, let alone houses, backrounds, and/or textures.
