BUt... Does anybody know anything on paths?
How do you get custom ships able to be selected?
I have a switch, that when hit does it's animation and shuts off a forcifield, but when shot/hit again it turns onn the force field. What am I doing wrong?

Okay, somebody drop me a hint, why has nobody replied to this thread? I'd really like to know if anybody knows anything about paths.

I've never really worked much with paths, but I know that in D3edit (not DALLAS) there's a path toolbar. Use it to place path nodes and name them, then I think you can set up paths in DALLAS.

I don't suppose that not many people know...

As for the link to the tut, it is blocked by the school so I can't get to it. I'd be nice if one of y'all could, save, then send the page to me. Thanks if you do. (My adress is listed in my profile.)

Yes I saw the PM's, thanks, they've helped alot. I was able to sneak in the net at my house, and I was about to download Reactor Gamma but it was 10 MB. And even with my dad's DAP it would've taken...a lot of time.

Shame I missed this topic, I know about all of the stuff mentioned, except for the custom ships...

In D3Edit, the "paths toolbar" only has "operate on game paths" and the separate BNode option. When I try to insert a 'game path' node in the same way as a vertex, it says "no current path" and does nothing else. How do you really insert nodes?

This I can anwser:

What you gotta do is
1. be in the Current Room View
2. Open 'Path Toolbar' and select 'Game Paths'
3. When you go to make a path you must press SHIFT + Insert and type the name for the path then from then on you'll add to the currently selectd path. And you can manipulate the nodes like objects.

Okay, for a start, what operating system are you running? Win98? WinXP? Sounds like its 98 from what you're saying.

I'll help you through it...
