scenes/collisions

[Pug]

Are there any "in-depth" tutorials (assumed knowledge=next-to-nothing) that help you make a scene with collision meshes etc.?

Oh yeah, I don't mind if you don't reply, it's not like I have feelings or anything...

I don't know about feelings, but patience definitely doesn't seem like a strong point. Also, did you try to search for one?

Regardless, here one is by Yoshiboy:

I tried to follow it, but it assumes background knowledge, for example exporting an obj. file? It's not entirely sympathetic with dumbos like me.

patience definitely doesn't seem like a strong point.

Sorry, I've been trying to find a solution for quite a while. Even the most patient of people have their bounds.

Here's some backround you may want to try out before messing with scenes and collisions.

What program are you using?

If it's wings, exporting to an obj is under

File -> Export -> Wavefront (.obj)

I've got wings, but I don't even know where to start when it comes to making scenes... are they made using the in-game edit mode? Because in .751 I can't insert objects for some reason.

Hmm, yeah I tried that but it was confusing - at one point Yoshi wrote

Ok, at this point i am taking into account that you have already UV mapped your mesh and put it onto a new texture you have somewhere and all that is fine and dandy.

Unfortunately I didn't find this clear at all, and the fact that the term "meshes" was never thoroughly defined made the whole deal  convoluted.

A mesh, is simply a 3d Model.
UV mapping or unwrapping is the process taking the model apart so that it can be textured in 2D.

I wrote a tutorial on it here: http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,11531.0.html

Honestly, we cant hold your hand through the process of getting models in game, you have to do some of it yourself. I suggest that you start with something a little simpler that new scenes. Or many even learn how to model 

I've said it before. This isnt a modelling community, we arnt here you teach you all of the ins and outs of 3d modelling as well as modding M&B. Wings 3d just happens to be my prefered application and something people are able to pick up quickly so thats what i write about.

The whole of this thread is slightly demanding and whiney. I put alot of work into my tutorials, and i appreciate feedback and its good to know places where people are unsure about what they should be doing, so that i can improve that area. I know people appreciate my tutorials and thats why i right them even though they can be hard work but i do expect there to be some equal input from the student, its not hard to type a few keywords into google and find out what "UVmapping" is or what the term "mesh" means. In fact, why bother using google when i've written a more specific M&B modding and wings 3d UVmapping tutorial

I'm sorry, Yoshiboy - you're tutorials are fantastic and smack of your ingenuity in helping the lowly class of modders. I think the problem here was finding the tutorials you wrote - there should be a sticky or something. Thanks

Yeah, i appologize too, i dont like to have a go at people and i agree, tutorials are commonly quite hard to find but its a hard job organizing the mod forum, i'm glad i dont have to do it
