Gmax and Tileset Questions
« on: December 03, 2015, 11:42:21 pm »


               

Hi all


 


I just installed GMax I have no idea what I'm doing yet, but I'm looking into making a pyramid/ziggurat.

I read some where that its 1200 feet by 900 feet. If that is true how many feet are in one tile?


 


At first just off the top of my head I was just thinking that it could be 4x8 tiles in size. However after thinking more about it I'm starting to think it might need to be more like 3x7 or 5x9 tiles in size to get the top right. I'm just guessing at this point because I haven't got to even do anything in GMax yet. I'm leaving to take my son to basketball so I may not get to try anything till tomorrow night.


 


Thanks for your time.

A tile is 10 metres square or 32 feet 9.7 inches square.

There's some existing ziggurats in the cep package, cep2_core0.hak in the old 2.3 version of it I have, that might work for a starting point for modeling.  nwnexplorer will let you export the model easily enough.

 

8096     "[CEP23] Structure: Ziggurat, Small (CCP)*"                 zlc_ccp_a97

8097     "[CEP23] Structure: Ziggurat, Medium (CCP)*"             zlc_ccp_a98

8098     "[CEP23] Structure: Ziggurat, Large (CCP)*"                 zlc_ccp_a99

8099     "[CEP23] Structure: Ziggurat, Colossal (CCP)*"              zlc_ccp_b01

 


 

You didn't mention in your post if you have nwmax, or nwmaxplus (or whatever the updated version of it was called) installed as well, but they're essential for making and exporting nwn models.
