Title: shape groups...
Post by: BenDover on December 01, 2001, 03:00:00 PM
...for the barges,trains, and convoys. I don't appear to have one for barges (), and the ( ) shape for trains. If anyone has these,could they please send me them at Akenworthy@btinternet.com


also, I was looking around at some of the shapes,and i came to one called fpsbunk, is this the shape thats going to be used for the fps capture that hitech mentioned in the wargamer interview?

Do you mean you don't have a ( available shape ) or ( shape group )

The only thing I see in the shape group is TRAIN1 for the trains and CONVOY for the trucks I quess you'll need to build the BARGE.

The Barge, Tug, and different train parts are in the available shapes section.

If you don't have these then I would reinstall the editor again.

on the pearl map PT boats  can start and go in and out of the harbor. why would a river be much different ? id presume it just has to be wide enough ..

Hello BenDover

As far as I can tell, you can't go up the rivers unless there are made with the terr0000 texture tiles.

I laid downed a river with the new editor and died when I tried to go up it in a PtBoat.

Uh, I think you guys are getting the wrong idea with the rivers thing.

Rivers are not for us to navigate, they serve the same function as roads and tracks.
They carry supplies on Barges pushed by Tugs.
I think this is where you would want to use the "Radius" functions.  ;)
