K nevermind that... but i tried it... I redid my Shellmap... and i know it is loaded up cause i can hear the sounds but it is still black... and i have no idea where to look.

*** IF ***
    True.
*** THEN ***
  Shroud off the map edges is turned off.
  Start skybox mode (draw sky background).
  Hide UI (like letterbox mode, but with no border).
  Move camera to Camera 'CamStart' in 0.00 seconds, camera shutter 0.00 seconds, ease-in 0.00 seconds, ease-out 0.00 seconds.
  Modify normal depth of Frustrum by 10.00 (1.0 = normal, < 1.0 shortens frustrum, > 1.0 lengthens.)
  Set presence of Fog of War to FALSE. (Default TRUE.)
  The world is revealed permanently for Player '<All Players>'.
  Set Occlusion to be enabled FALSE (False to disable.)
  Set timer 'CameraRohanStart' to expire in 2.00 seconds.
  Fade (0-1) from 0.00 to 1.00 adding toward white. Take  0  frames to increase, hold for  10  frames, and decrease  4  frames.
  Turn off the music scripting system, fading out (FALSE) the music scripting system's current music.

Thats what i have.. It seems to work, at least from what i recall
Just search for those commands and apply them.

[modboy451]

ok thanks ill try that soon.

[modboy451]

I did everything but this script

Set Occlusion to be enabled FALSE (False to disable.)

cause i couldnt find it :( and it is still black... would it have to be something in which i put the shellmap = On code in? i put it in the file

data\ini\object\_shellmap.ini

Upload your map again.. and ill have a look I assume you made changes?

[_Haldir_]

It sounds like your map is black because the focal length of the camera isn't large enough to see your map beyond a certain distance. Try increasing the Frustrum depth i think, which might work. Otherwise, look in your Map Settings and try playing with some of the camera settings in there.

[Ridder Geel]

If he somewhat copied the script commands i told him up there he should have the frustrum thing... which is why it would be helpful for him to reupload what he did so that i can see what he has done and then see what he might have missed out on
Map settings, sounds like a place ya might want to look! though they should be correct if he copied and changed the BFME 2 shellmap map...

[modboy451]

yea that was what i did do, changed the whatever... now... here is the new one.

It looks fine... Hmm... Try turning off your fade timer thing
Oh you did not tell it to play camera animation? or did I miss that?

[modboy451]

Yes i told it to not do the camera animation... i decided to do a different technique instead... i have the camera follow a few units around... it's done in the Link and attack scripts... not in the startup scripts. and thanks ill try that.

[Ridder Geel]

Ok, well first just try to get something on screen Afterwards have a go at fancy things

[modboy451]

the scripts for that are already done and yea... I got go get it on screen before i test it anyway. so yea...i have a question... In gamedata.ini there is a whole entry on stuff for the shell map under

Gamedata
blablalba
end

when i made a new file with just what you told me... it uses the -mod command so did it overwrite all that? i would guess not but it could have...

[modboy451]

update of the current situation... changed the fulstrum to 20, and removed all scripts having to do with fading... but it is still black... and it is still black except for you little flash of random color... i don't know if that mean sanything or just a lack or loading it right... hmm...

[Ridder Geel]

Weather
  HardwareFogColor = R:220 G:226 B:235
  HardwareFogEnable = Yes
  HardwareFogStart = 200
  HardwareFogEnd = 3000
End

in your map.ini...remove that?

[modboy451]

That didn't work either... i removed the glow effect since i'm not using that also... blarg...

[modboy451]

Got it to work! Now i am wondering, my map is a battle between my Mod units and Men... i want the outcome to be different... i need a way to vary a factor everytime to change the outcome...

and also... i changed the camera angle (after i got it to work) to about 5... so it is quite level with the ground... but it is zoomed WAAAAY out... how do i get it to zoom in...?
