Title: Custom tower object
Post by: Xjazz on March 29, 2008, 09:51:23 AM

Hi

I'm planning to build a custom tower, but I'm not sure about the requirements. Is there any instructions or tutorials available? Thanks.

The outside model looks about right now. Textures need to do next.

Are you offering to write one?  :aok

We know polyid=256 is the Point of view, and 257 is the clipboard map position.
The hands of the clock are probably polyIDs 21 and 22.
Then we have polyIDs 3 through 10, which are probably for active clipboard text: field number, fuel, ammo, dar, troops, fighters, bombers and GVs.
That leaves polyID=275, which might be the officers' club because there are only one of them.

Come back and tell us what you discover, or better yet, write that manual. :D

I must be catching NHawks' disease, I said clipboard text instead of tower bulletin board.
