Some noobish questions :)

Hey.

Im new here and have been playing Enemy Territory for about a year now and I’ve suddenly become interesting in map editing.
I started on a map last night and I would say the progress is going pretty good.
Ive learnt how to make ladders,glass and team doors but I have a few questions.

  1. How do i get into a scripting mode to… well… erm… script objects? Ive searched the forum and cant find anything.

  2. I have a sea for my map but whenever I go in it in game mode I just walk on land underwater. How do I raise gravity or whatever to swim in it?

  3. I add objects from the Mapobjcts folder but they only show up on the map editor as seethrough white square boxes. How do i fix this?

  4. What is the easiest way to make a staircase other than doing it brush by brush?

  5. How do I make a brush go diagonal to make a slope?

Thanks :moo:

  1. Go to C:\Program Files\GtkRadiant-1.4\games and open et.game with notepad And simply change all the Back slashes ( \ ) to Forward Slashes ( / ). It works for me, I don’t know why that Thread makes it so complicated.
