my god, this is just awesome. Would mods maybe sticky this for a while?

[cromcrom]

Thank you so much for these great tuts, they are amazing

[Drakkan]

thanks for vidoes Skugg, please do more !

[antti]

Hey, could you make a youtube playlist of the videos for easier linking? While we're still working on the official modding guide, it's good to have something to link to for the more impatient modders on twitter and elsewhere

[Mysterious]

Hi Skuggs the videos are grate

I tried the joining of levels as you said but now I am have a problem.

Here are the levels so far:

0,0,0 start
0,0,1 down
1,0,0 right
-1,0,0 left + exit object (just like your video)

The problem is how do you make a level join at the bottom or top etc.... with exit object? I tried this as a new level to join with (left)
-1,0,-1 left down (This does not work for some reason it just stops me on the left level, I have put the 2 exit objects on both levels but to no avail lol.

I am trying hard to figure out how each level can join to each other using the Exit Object, but am having problems with the x,y,z thing. Thxs for any help

When going up and down you use stairs, the easiest way is to place stairs in the same grid on both levels,then the party will just go up and down, you can also use the custom target field for stairs then you can simply choose where the party comes out, but personally I like how AH did this in the main campaign, everything just flows naturally between levels.

If you are having problems with how the coordinates stack up (or maybe my rumblings didn't make sense in the video ) I created a picture that hopefully explains this in more detail.


Hope that helps.

Thanks both for the vids and the pic.

Hi Skuggs.

Thank you for the picture it makes sense now I have created mulitiple ways around the map
