Writing on the wall

#1 If you mean putting text on your "wall" like a sign or graffiti, then that needs to be done to the texture itself, which is then applied to the objects in Constructor. To modify textures, you need something like GiMP or Photoshop.

#2 You could place decals containing your "writing on the wall", would be outside of Constructor, though if your texture didn't have transparent areas you could embed .dts billboards inside of Constructor. Apparatus showed off the use of .dts decals (placed with the world editor) real well in his Interor Guide Pack, which is free by the way.

#3 Wow... I know this looks dumb, but I can't figure out how to use my shape in mission editor, what do I need to do to get the shape avaliable in the mission editor, at the moment I am just testing with the TGEA StrongHold Demo

#4 You need to export it to a .DIF. Export it to \Projects\\game\scriptsAndAssets\data\interiors\

Then load up your stronghold mission, hit F11 to get into the mission editor, then F4 to switch to the World Creator and the object should appear in your asset tree (which you'll need to drill down to your item).

#5 Never Mind, It was just not big enough to show the writing because of white space.

Which version of Constructor are you using? Older versions did have problematical collision that could be worked around. Save/reload/export/rinse/repeat and sometimes it would work correctly. The best bet is to grab the 1.0.51 patch from Constructor's TDN page.

#8 would i be able to edit old stuff with new version

#9 Yes, it's just an update patch for a few bugs and usability issues, maybe even a new feature or two. Everything else still works the same.

#10 Well, now I can't
a. delete constructor
b. open constructor
c. uninstall constructor
d. therefore I can't reinstall constructor

#11 @Laurence: You'll need to supply us some more information. What happened?

#12 i tried putting the zip file in and after that all of that stuff i listed happenned

#13 nvm, i managed to delete after logging off and in... second time though
ummm... is it still supposed to ay 1.o.3 after I extracted the files from the zip folder?

#14 No, it should show 1.0.51. Double check that when you extracted the contents of the zip that they went to the right place.

#15 Nearly every file asked do you want to replace, otherwise it asked do you want to merge

In another question, if I want the person to collide with a wall which bubble should be filled in from brush type, right now im testing if it will work with force field.
... force field makes the game freeze before the oject finishes getting put in.

#16 Only 9 of the files will extract themselves, ignoring the fact that I've pressed replace for all of them

#17 I think you may be able to get a texture of your wall, place text on it, then save it as something seperate from the wall without text. Then select the face you want to have that text on it and select the texture with text.

#18 A day late and a dollar short

A day late: the time at which I tried to finish that was like 2 months ago

A dollar short: trying to install the upgrade to Constructor screwed it up completely
