So I assume it's easy to do curves?

Holy cow that's an amazing-looking curve. Just align the textures on the sides and it'll be perfect.

If I can get them to work for me, you guys might see a couple of these curves in my MMG level.

Maybe someone could try somehow replicating the level as shown in this video:

It would be a lot of work to recreate the terrain-like platforms though.

Oh, the XNA level? That's tremendous.

I was actually thinking that a .dts might be better to make the XNA level than a .dif, just because map2dif would hate a dif with such great curves.

The XNA level IS a dts. Its made with 3dsmax, I have it if anyone's interested. I did get it into constructor once, lotsa broken poly's. But yea, I said a long time ago I wish someone would replicate that map.

QuArK can't open, constructor is just broken polys, we need a .dts exporter

I checked around for polysoup, but you needed to have a legal Torque copy.

I have access to an account with a legal torque copy if that helps

But seriously, I doubt its possible to turn a 1.5.2 engine mod into a 1.1.2 cs mod. Only god could do it.

Hell, while we're doing PolySoup, we could rep some MarioKart levels while were at it

its a prefab and you spawn them in the prefab tab, if you placed the files correctly

Because it's hard to use the page-back function, I will explain.

A flexi-cube is a prefab object, made of (I think 12) short pyramids arranged to make a cube. It is used for making curves.

But Pyro MBP 724, you realize you made a major bump?

Platypus: Put it in ~user/applications/constructor/prefabs/. It being the files you get when you click the link in the first post.

Pyro: Because the last post was in July, and yours was in November. HUGE bump. And it didn't add anything useful. Platypus - it wasn't technically a bump b/c the last post was in the same day, and it was a question.

Pyro- don't listen to nobody, he doesn't know wtf he is talking about. This is a stickied topic, of course you can post.

Nobody- stop being a know-it-all. And btw, who puts things in user/applications??

For backup purposes, applications that the files change frequently for (new plugins, textures, etc.) or custom applications (like this one) go in the user folder so it gets backed up when I do weekly backups.

Wait, you can post in sticky topics? Ok nvm what I said.

you do weekly backups?! I never do backups and all my files go in documents.

Side note for everyone: you MUST texture the start and end platforms as well as teh flexicubes BEFORE radial cloning or doing anything else or you will be unable to successfully texture the finished product.

is possible. but doing so will raise your chances of suicide by 0.3%

edit: ever noticed the unify button in the texture window/tab?
it projects the texture mapping from the angle you're looking.

like.... work on all the faces as if it was 1 big face.

why?


And Cyberfox, what i meant by texturing was not aligning... I meant putting textures on the faces in the first place. After I finished my first time without texturing first, I could'nt select the right faces to do it.

Coz if your hard drive fails and you haven't done any backups, you will lose all your files. I'm sure you don't want that, do you?
