ED-Nick: |
i couldnt get the mirror tool to work.. |
| 15:51 |
ED-Nick: |
i set up my portals in front of some glass and nothing.. |
| 15:52 |
ali: |
"In front of" means "upright" or "as a mirror at the wall" |
| 15:54 |
ED-Nick: |
anyway.. i put my portal in front of (a flat surface _ ) i ran the tool , the rim file was made, but nothing showed up.. |
| 15:54 |
ali: |
green side up? |
| 15:54 |
ED-Nick: |
yeah |
| 15:55 |
ali: |
floor surface transparent? put the MIRRORS entry to the .inf file? |
| 15:55 |
ED-Nick: |
i placed it in front of that transparent glass instance that spaceman used in his track |
| 15:55 |
ED-Nick: |
yup |
| 15:55 |
ED-Nick: |

| 15:56 |
ali: |

ED-Nick: |

ali: |

| 16:00 |
ED-Nick: |

| 16:00 |
ED-Nick: |

ali: |

| 16:01 |
ED-Nick: |
yeah |
| 16:01 |
ED-Nick: |

| 16:01 |
ED-Nick even saw a little bit of a mirrioring going on in the unplanar surface |
| 16:02 |
ali: |
Did you have the thing you tried in a stock or user track folder? |
| 16:02 |
ED-Nick: |

| 16:02 |
ED-Nick: |

| 16:02 |
ali: |
Dang. Really? Ack |
| 16:02 |
ED-Nick: |

| 16:05 |
ED-Nick: |

| 16:05 |
ED-Nick: |
ill go try it again real quick |
| 16:06 |
ED-Nick: |
oh yeah, does the portal have to be EXACTLY on the face? |
| 16:06 |
LaserBeams: |
um... strange |
| 16:06 |
LaserBeams: |
no |
| 16:06 |
LaserBeams: |
it does have to be exatly flat |
| 16:06 |
ED-Nick: |
ok, hm |
| 16:06 |
ED-Nick: |
k |
| 16:06 |
ED-Nick: |
brb |
| 16:06 |
LaserBeams: |
use the 90 degree rotators |
| 16:06 |
LaserBeams: |
make sure green is up, and you have the tag in the trackname.inf file |
| 16:08 |
ED-Nick: |
yeah , i use em |
| 16:08 |
ED-Nick: |
hey ali.. why did your example track have ID's? |
| 16:08 |
ED-Nick: |
erm, i mean in the portal |
| 16:09 |
ED-Nick: |
like you had 12 0, 12 12, and another 12 0 |
| 16:09 |
LaserBeams: |
you dont need id's |
| 16:09 |
LaserBeams: |
they don't matter |
| 16:09 |
ali: |
Because when I started to write the tool, I played with ID. But they are completely useless now |
| 16:10 |
ED-Nick: |
oh.. ok :) |
| 16:10 |
ED-Nick runs the mirror tool now |
| 16:11 |
ED-Nick goes and plays his track now |

ED-Nick: |

| 16:20 |
ED-Nick: |

| 16:20 |
ED-Nick: |

| 16:20 |
ED-Nick: |

| 16:20 |
LaserBeams: |

| 16:20 |
ED-Nick: |
k, thats where it is.. |
| 16:20 |
LaserBeams: |

| 16:21 |
ED-Nick: |
thats all the room i have for it to be :) |
| 16:21 |
ED-Nick: |
hmm |
| 16:21 |
ED-Nick: |

| 16:21 |
LaserBeams: |

| 16:21 |
ali: |

LaserBeams: |

| 16:22 |
ED-Nick goes and hacks out his old fin file |
| 16:22 |
LaserBeams: |
