[Help] Can't see the control points in editor

[Sgt. Mahi]

As a project to help out with the lack of maps to PR:V I've decided to Audit Operation Ghost Train from EOD2. It seems like I've been taken quite a mouthful because I've already run into some problems.

I have created the files needed for the editor to load the map but I can't see any of the control points or spawn points in the resource bar. If I select "show control point as spheres" I can see them on the map but I can't select them.

Any advice?

The GPO file I've created: here

And the layer file: here

Sorry for the rapidshare but I think the GPO file was too large to embed in code... The site wouldn't let me post such a long post.

Is the EOD Operation Ghost Train much different from the PR Operation Ghost Train?

One thing I could think of. If the control points had their meshes disabled on export, you won't be able to see the waving flag. xD Other than that I'm terrible at auditing so ask Rhino or Rudd about it. Only piece of advice I can give is to go over the whole codes again

IIRC you don't need to create custom files for the map to load? Just unzip the dang files

[Amok@ndy]

you need to select your created layer
its on the right bar in the editor, scroll down to layers and select the Layer of the controlpoints

It's not just the wawing flags.. It's the actual control points I can't see in the editor and I did select the layers.

Heres a pic:

[Amok@ndy]

double click 64_player and the lines connecting the object spawners and the controlpoints get yellow then you should be able to select them

[Rudd]

yeah ya just gotta click on 64_player I guess

[Sgt. Mahi]

No it's not really letting me see the control points that way either... I mean I can switch between the layers and see the different control points for the respective layer but I can't select them.. Funny thing is if I place an object spawner it recognizes the control point but I can't still not see it in the resource bar.. Same thing goes with the object spawner.. It doesn't appear in the resource bar either.. Could it be the GPO file that is corrupt somehow?

Was able to get the map running with good 'ol GB vs. China today, almost made a tear in my eye lol. Control points works just fine in game.

[Rudd]

how are you trying to select them?

if they don't have actual flags then you should try drawing a selection box around it

alternatively just select the flags on th LEFT in the GPO objectslist

[Sgt. Mahi]

alternatively just select the flags on th LEFT in the GPO objectslist

This is the problem. I can't. They are not there. Look at the picture above. There's no "+" at the control points folder that should indicate that there's something in the folder.. It's empty...

Here are some other pics that may explain it better


Here I've selected the CP and the tweak bar does comes up but I can't see it in the resources.



Here I've placed an object spawner where again the tweak bar comes up but nothing is added in the object spawner folder

I've just tried recreating the Editor's GPO but it remains the same.

[Rudd]

ah rgr that, that is very strange....

you'll have to start from scratch GPO wise, or perhaps DL the old PR levels and take it from there.

[Sgt. Mahi]

Yeah I was thinking about that.. Maybe a linky linky to the old PR level files?

Edit: Just tried deleting the layers.con file and now I can see the control points and stuff. Guess I need a default layer as well...? Something like this?

rem ******** Default ********
LayerManager.AddUserLayer "Default" 8 1 0 1
LayerManager.SetLocked 0
LayerManager.SetDisabled 0
LayerManager.AddGameModeFilter "gpm_cq"
LayerManager.AddPlayerFilter ""

rem ******** 64_player ********
LayerManager.AddUserLayer "64_player" 8 5 0 1
LayerManager.SetLocked 0
LayerManager.SetDisabled 0
LayerManager.AddGameModeFilter "gpm_cq"
LayerManager.AddPlayerFilter "64"

rem ******** 32_player ********
LayerManager.AddUserLayer "32_player" 4 6 0 1
LayerManager.SetLocked 0
LayerManager.SetDisabled 0
LayerManager.AddGameModeFilter "gpm_cq"
LayerManager.AddPlayerFilter "32"

rem ******** 16_player ********
LayerManager.AddUserLayer "16_player" 16 7 0 1
LayerManager.SetLocked 0
LayerManager.SetDisabled 0
LayerManager.AddGameModeFilter "gpm_cq"
LayerManager.AddPlayerFilter "16"

Nevermind... Figured it out with this toturial instead of Rhino's..

Thanks for the help though
