Hello all,
Ok ive created a harad faction for my mod. i've created all the units and buildings except the fortress. So i know i will need to create some .bse files.... right? So i've gained acess to the ROTWK .bse files and now i have some questions. I kind of understand the .bse files... but how do i make .bse files if i have custom buildings and buildplots that i made? i know how to edit existing ones because i just move around stuff or add buildings. but what do i do for my custom buildings and buildplots? Is there a way to code it in by hand or maybe adding my buildings and buildplots to worldbuilder?
Thanks,
Kingeragon007~~~~~~~~

For some odd reason, i can no longer open the Renegade Material Editor and i don't know why. The gmax material editor is assigned to "M" so i don't think thats the problem. Anyone know whats the problem or what i can do to fix it?
Thanks,

Ok heres my Problem:

I've been working on an arnor faction and i was planing on using some of the civilian buildings as a base but when i try to apply the Skin, the model just turns white, and the skin never appears. Now i've noticed that all models that are white to start with when i import them work just fine, and the ones that come in different colors, dont work. And these civilian buildings come imported as different colors. O and when i select the UVW map, the skin does appear but its all over the place, in the wrong spot, and its really blurry.

So does anyone know whats going on or what i should do?

Thanks,

OK first off, this ini file is for my map, not a mod. If that helps at all. But from my experience, that shouldnt matter at all. (It just limits my options and capabilities)

So i've been wanting to make a new power for a wizard. One which basically makes it rain fire in a certain area.
So i thought i could just have like the corsairs of umbar's fire bombs fall from the sky. And so i just used the Create A Hero's bombard power as a base and kind of just changed it from there.

So heres what i've done so far:

Sorry for having some much code there.

But anyway, it loads just fine and i can use the power, but the fire bombs dont fire from the sky or anything. they just pop up, one by one, on the ground. there isnt any FX's either. and the fire bombs just stay on the ground for forever.
Heres a pic to explain better:

So hopefully, someone can help me out. Cause im stumped.

Hello all,
Its been awhile sence i've exported a building so i can't remeber how to do it.
I just exported it as a normal Hierarchal Model and with no SKL.
But when i open it up in W3D, nothing happens. Theres no texture models, no model files, nothing.
So does anyone know what i have to do?
O and its ROTWK but i guess it doesnt really matter.
Thanks,
Kingeragon007 ~~~~~~~~~
