i have had an idea, but need some advice (tips)

i don't want to make my map so huge ittake a year and a day to walk across the field. So how does the ratio between feet to whatever Gmax uses (pixel) so is it 1 pixel = 1 foot or something different

i looked thru the tutorials and didn't see that.

also i tried loading my prototype map into renagade editor
and it didn't work this is what i did , maybe i missed a step

1) create new mod
2) clicked terrain
3) clicked Add
4) Named it Castle1
5) got the M_modelname
6) .../castle.w3d into the box
7) clicked ok
Cool clicked Castle1
9) clicked make.

but it failed to show and i got a blue screen Sad


thank you for your help
i hope my first map will be decent. Smile

What I do is make a box that's 1x1x2 and use that as a scale for how big I want my stuff to be. It's just a little taller than the actual character but it's a good idea of how big to model.

Lol. I didn't think anyone would remember me. What do you mean "wanderer"?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, punch. But after having stoped modding renegade for such a long time I don't remember anything.

Just merge the havoc character model that comes with the Renegade Public tools into the map, resize the map to this, then delete the character model.

Wandering, going from place to place. Being active for a while, than being inactive for a while, than being active for a while, rinse and repeat.
