Yall gonna think I'm a noob for asking this stuff, but we all gotta learn sometime. ;)
MW is working finally and all I know how to do is add stuff, raise stuff, lower stuff, and delete stuff. That's it. Doesn't really help when the Modding Resource does away right when I i start to mod either. Max??? I don't know how to save or load my mods. I don't know how to add goals or raise and lower the ground level. I don't know how to change any of the fog, the sky, or the terrain itself, but other than that I'd say I'm pro. ;)
Can someone give me a URL please that would help? Thanks.

<------, that-a-way
It says "modding the.mis files". I tried to open Cranium Crater to mod it and it says...There is no default application specified to open the document....What do I do?

Set an application to open it. I suggest word pad in you are on Windows XP.

Yo if u want to save it go ingame edit what ever u are and press ctrl+s.
After u have did that it should Say somewhere in ur missions,MW the something.
Then delete the file u were editeing like TT1_1.
Then rename the file u modded with to whatever the file u delete say if it was...
MW1_1..
delete TT1_1...
Then......
Rename MW1_1 to....
TT1_1...
And there u have it.

Did you read the Read me that came with ModWiz? It tells you all the key commands for using ModWiz... Like how to save as well as what to do with the saved file.
Have you been to the maxworks website www.maxworks.com
Read the Translated Mission File for information about fog and raising the terrain etc.

THE NEW MODDING RESOURCE is back. I accidentally deleted it. Doh.
No worries I always copy it from another document because I did that once before.

Thanks guys. Are there any sky files I can download?

Still can't find where to find how to raise and lower land level Max. Hmmm

Neva You change the terrain level by changing the terrain file size it normally says 8
lower will squish the terrain and higher makes it larger or flattens it out/heres and example...This one is set to 10 see where it says square size that is what you change

New TerrainBlock(Terrain) {
rotation = "1 0 0 0";
scale = "1 1 1";
detailTexture = "game/data/terrains/details/detail1";
terrainFile = "game/data/missions/TT1_3.ter";
>>>squareSize = "10";<<<
tile = "0";
blockShift = "7";
locked = "false";
position = "-1024 -1024 0";

You mean, it's all luck where all the hills end up? Like dash's place, he didn't make everyone of those hills exactly how he wanted? Stil kinda confused.

The only way to make hills the way you really want is to down load tge torque engine
I always just use fog and terrain stretching or squishing to get what I want

PTT has excellent modding instructions built in for the basics.....just look at the first part of the last section of the side bar.

And is there any way to upload skins to the.mis files so everyone can see the skin in the server?

Yes but the terrain skins can not be seen unless you use the torque engine... Tank
skins can be seen skies trees buildings... But you have to name the folder...like junk
and than put this in your mission
Lighttank.shapefile = "game/data/shapes/junk/whatever.dts"; and that goes at the bottem of your mis file after right end....( the *whatever *is what you have name your dts file as.)...my only prob is I can not get the treads to show up....

(One eyebrow cocked in curiousity)

Sorry that was a example of a differant tank skin.......if trees are what you want or buildings than you put them in like
};
new TSStatic() {
position = "40.5064 -99.6928 82.4578";
rotation = "-0.397245 0.661516 0.636076 221.811";
scale = "1 1 1";
>*shapeName = "game/data/shapes/common/ball.dts";*<
treeLighting = "0";
lightBoost = "0";
see the differant shape name? And this would be put before object write end...
this use to be a tree now it's a ball

You've lost me. Don't waste your time telling me ^ that. XD

Ok I tried...sorry

Neva die,
get JCreator here to work on torque code (its better than notepad)
get the one that is free. Designed for Java but works for Torque too.
