I'm currently working on a map with a lot of custom buildings.
Thing is have some problems with it.

How do I correctly drill the space for the buildings in the bottom? (since boolean would be a painfull to do)
And how do I create the Renx visibility part?

I remember there where some tutorials for that.
Haven't found them on renegadehelp.



The keen eye will see that there are z-buffer issues.
Dw they will be solved when the groundmesh for the bases are done and welded. (Same goes for the tibfields)

Also this map will have two harvesters each team.
I have a working system for that.

Why exactly would boolean be painfull?
It does the job fast and easy

The only other way i know is cutting the holes yourself Whats That

Well in Renx I have problems when I try to boolean something that wasnt sticking through it well it wouldnt work.

Like if the bottom Z vertex of the building was in the plane. (both coordinates at z=0) It would come up with random garbage.

Well guess I will have to try again probably screwed it up a bit.

Yea for boolean stuff has to cut through. Lowering buildings to -0,01 should be enough already Thumbs Up

It looks like you are using 3ds Max just use the connect tool with edge and then arrange the vertexs.

Or are you trying to connect the buildings together underground?

I'm drilling the holes for the buildings.
Something like wf and bar is easy.
Only my adv pp is giving me a headache.

I'm working with the buildings in Renx.
I did the terrain in 3ds9.
Only I didnt get the plugin for it to work so I ported the terrain to Renx and added the buildings there.
I will check if connect works in Renx.

I'm still wondering how to add the vis sectors?
I have looked inside hourglas thats comes with leveleditor.
Is it correct that I have to take the base plane where you drive and walk etc? And clone it and give it the vis and hide settings/lower it a bit under the original terrain?
