This tutorial is meant as a one stop shop for those that want to learn how to make scenes. I admit, I don't know everything, a lot of the information is posted all over the forums.
Which brings me to my quote from below.

Additional Help
- You can save your changes only when you leave the edit
mode.

- You can not undo your works, you can only discard changes
while leaving the edit mode. So you should save your work
occasionally by leaving the edit mode and re-entering it.

- Scene files are located under [Current Module]\SceneObj
foler. When you save your changes, the related scene file
under this folder will be updated.

- Create AI Mesh button works only on outdoor scenes.​


Entry Points
A quick note about Passages from quapitty.
Passages have a "Entry No" and a "Menu Item No". It is pretty important to not mix them up!
From the inside or outside scenes your passage has to have the following "Menu Item No" to bring you to:
0 - castle (NATIVE: 0, related Entry Point from interior scene:2)
Don't use 1 to 5!!
2 - Castle, related Entry Point in the street/courtyard:2
3 - Town center, related entry point in the street depends on the place, the player comes from
4 - Tavern, related Entry Point in the street:4
5 - Shop, related Entry pointin the street: 5
6 - Arena, related Entry in the street: 6
7 - Dungeon, related Entry in the street/courtyard:7
8 - Castle courtyard

Entry numbers from OUTSIDE are "0".
Now from interiors to the outside you simply have to give the "Entry No" the number of the entry point you put into the scene your passage leads to.
For example, you are inside the castle and you give the passage "Menu Item No: 7" and "Entry No: 5" you simply have to put the entry point "Entry No: 5" in front of the castle within the street scene.
Just make sure you do not use the reserved Entry points such as player entry / guild master / guard etc.

Siege towers can be tricky! As with the ladders create them as how they would look on the wall they are attacking. (make sure and place the wheels facing the right way, else they'll spin backwards)
110-119 - Siege Tower 1 (Place entry points 110-119 down for your first tower in the path you want it to follow.)
120-129 - Siege Tower 2 (Place entry points 120-129 down if you have a second tower and it will follow that path.)
130-139 - Siege Tower 3 (Place entry points 130-139 down if you have a third tower and it will follow that path.)
100-109 - Ladders (Place the ladder against the wall, how it would look if it was raised. Use the props with "move" on the end. Place an entry point at the base of the ladder facing in the direction you would like it to lie on the floor.)
Master of the Field
67 - Flag 1
68 - Flag 2
69 - Flag 3

The entry point lists are not complete and some of the guys you mention did their lists for vanilla Mount and Blade.
There is no mention of entry points for bandit ambushes in towns (4,11,27,2:cool: and for other quests or special events, the castle yard guards have a greater range (40-46) and the castle interiors have more visitors (16-31). Best do your research, it's not that hard.
Also, lairs may be missing too, although they are not favorites for scening.
 
It's all good guys!  This page is definitley a work in progress.  Just wanted to make a page where you go to and find EVERYTHING you need right then and there.  That way you don't have to have 4 different pages opened at once.

Thanks man!!
 
I can't figure out how to change my outer terrain? I can only have the plain one that comes in the first multi scene 1. I need a desert background?  :mrgreen: changing the "plain" to "desert" in scenes  has no affect.

How are you moving the across your map so fast? Mine is slow?
 
Adorno said:
1. Show us the line you have for the scene in scenes.txt file please.
It should be outer_terrain_desert

2. Double press any WASD key to make it go faster in that direction.

outer_terrain_desert
scn_multi_scene_1 multi_scene_1 <---- I am typing this in the scene txt and still getting a forest type background?
 
Interesting, havent seen you around the Guild before, judging from your tag you've mostly scened for NW? Irrelevant though, it's a great guide. Try contacting a moderator so he can place this thread on the front page of the Guild. :wink:

Tell the truth I've never done a scene for NW lol.

Thanks for the comment though. Its much appreciated.

N&S kinda counts as NW. :razz:

Ya guess thats right. Actually been working on the GoT mod lately. And we have some newbie sceners. So I told them to check some of your work out. That some of your work is a very good example of small details and such. Thought you'd might like that lil story.
 
Sorry for the late response, I didn't know either, so I had to find out the hard way, and I was lazy.

For the curious:
0 Player
1-10 Bandits

Simple, but whatever, hope they help. :smile:

I couldn't quite figure out all the entry points in the arena, could someone shed some light?
0-7 Team 1

Edit: Also, what does a sally point do in the town siege scene?
