Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
First of all: thanks for asking! Well, I think I made a good start. Haven't done very much yet (very busy this week, got long days at work), but I am happy with my idea. Made a part of my race/challenge track already, plus I began making a city around it. I'm not gonna use custom objects, because I don't know how to make or use them yet. There will be some billboards with custom pictures, though. I spoke with GoodDay about that and I think he wants to help me with it.
I happen to know how to use the billboard system for uses other then as alternative LODs for vegetation. If you're looking to use the billboard system for things like arrow signs and the like I can probably code a simple tutorial on how to do it. It does require a host treeMesh for the billboard to work, since the billboard system relies on the bounds of the treeMesh to define the size of the billboard. I created a simple 1x1x1 cube and used that for an arrow indicator billboard in my BFH'42 mod, so I can lend you that for you to work with.
I'll create a new thread detailing this.
I'm laughing quietly to myself...
Mark is referring to a standard Billboard for the mod itself...A sign on a wood post with two legs..billboard...taking a picture from where ever he wants and simply copying over the .dds texture over with a new picture. Drop the billboard object in the map, and the edited .dds file in the texture folder...
Check out the panno objects if my silly words are too vague sir:)
GOLD MAP PACK coming soon!!
