Xanthier Posted July 28, 2005 What is the best way to go about making a pyramid? like a stair-type tier. I tried last night but I forgot how to create a sector within a sector rather than outside and moving it in, which gave me these fall through floors and started to merge some of myh sectors, it was a mess. thanks guys, your the best. 0 Share this post Link to post

Jehar Posted July 28, 2005 Use the lines mode and hit insert to start drawing your new sector. Be sure you close it up. 0 Share this post Link to post
sausage Posted July 28, 2005 (no offence anybody) i thought i was a bad mapper! just use the lines tool by pressing the line picture in the toolbar at the top of the window or pressing "L" and do some squares then youraise each part of the piramid by arond 16 pixels if you want ill send a wad on the net for you to download so you can learn some things from it :) help from sausage 0 Share this post Link to post

Nuxius Posted July 29, 2005 I think some people are used to sector based editors, while DB is a line based editor. I remember back when I was learning how to use DB, it took me a while to figure out that when drawing a new sector, DB isn't smart enough to see the lines that are already there. You have to "trace" over them, again and again and again for every new sector you make. Coming from editors like Waded, I was completely not used to that. Also, to sausage: Why don't you just get his email and email it to him? Wouldn't that be easier? 0 Share this post Link to post

Sector splitting works unless there is more than one area with the sector number as the area you are splitting. then the odds are against you for it working right 0 Share this post Link to post
Mr.Rocket Posted August 11, 2005 Hey I made a dm map with some pyramids in it awhile back for skulltag, however it should still run in any zdoom based port -minus some thing types that would be seen in skulltag. I have to say it's probably the simplest wad I'v ever made but the playability is there and worth a good few intense matches. File name: MREGYPTDM.wad The wad can be found in an install package at my site. You can use the wad as a base to see how I made the pyramids in it if you like. http://home.comcast.net/~mrrocket/Files/_Megasphere__package_v1_1996_2005.exe Good luck. 0 Share this post Link to post
sst66 Posted August 29, 2005 While in sector mode you can draw another sector from ANYwhere on the map with ctrl-D. just remember, if you want this to work right with DB, you need to draw a complete sector, clicking on each adjoining vertex on the way to closing your new sector. 0 Share this post Link to post
