fear me for I just signed up..anyway...

in DeleD LITE is it possible to make the windows have a little scroll bar for when you have like..a HUGE map?..because it doesnt seem to have any for me and that sorta prevents me from making race tracks for a game that I'm wanting to make.

Also..I try to import a Kart (its a .X file made in Milkshape) so that I can make the roads big enough for a 3 lane track..but it doesnt show up..anyone know why?


sorry for being a annoyance if anyone else has asked these questions before (I'm too lazy to move my mouse around to click on next page and look through a bunch of pages of posts..)


edit: ALSO (oh my god another question)..for the level preview plugin..why does it always put the camera under whatever I put there and have it fall? (example: a stretched out 3D cube for a floor or something)

Hi Zephiros, welcome to these forums!

About scroll bars... I don't think I ever saw that concept in a 3D modeler, the common methodology is to simply zoom away the camera to get everything in view you want and then zoom back in to the location you want to be. In a 3D view, I don't think scrollbars make much sense, but the idea of having them in the 2D views is kinda interesting. They could scroll to the extends of the implicit bounding box (plus some margin) or something. However, they would take up valuable working space on the screen, so it would have to be optional at best. I am putting this on the 'something to think about' list

The questions about the plugins would better be asked in the plugin section (trying to keep a bit of structure in the information to be found on these forums ), but I'll give answering them a shot:

Are you sure the .X file doesn't show up, maybe it's just really small? Try playing with the 'scale factor' from the plugin, and see if that helps. If everything else fails, you can always send us the .X file and we'll try to figure out what is wrong with it.

About the level preview plugin, try changing the user defined camera position to a position slightly above the surface you want to stand on (or, the other way around, put the surface slightly below that position).You probably have it set to 'center of level', so if you draw a cube, the camera will start in the center of the cube, not on top of it.

Hope that helps

I just realized that I could use the right mouse click button to move..<.<;..shows how far my attention span goes..and as it turns out the model was set to a scale of 2..so I switched it to 100 and -bam- it was there. SO..I shall now stop posting stupid things <.<;


anyway thanks for the welcome Paul-Jan..sorry for wasting your time though
