Some help needed...

[Dreakon]

I have an idea I would like to try which hopefully isn't too complicated. I need someone to answer some questions I have first though:

1. Where can I get a lot of good looking wall, floor, stairway, ect textures? I am horrible at making any kind of graphics and some premade ones would help me a lot.

2. I am new to mapping and I am wondering how do I add the little text messages that appear on screens when you press the action button near something? (Like in the MP1 tutorial when you touched the payphones and such then it brought up the message).

3. Anyone know any links to good MaxEd2 (level making) tutorial sites? I can use all the help I can get http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

1. From MP2 get ldbrip. It's used in same way as rasmaker, if you can't use rasmaker, then...

2. maxpayne_hudmode->mphm_printdirect("Text here");

3. www.maxpayne2.com (http://www.maxpayne2.com) there are tutorials for making your first level.

1. Thanks, where can I download LBDRIP for Max Payne 2? I recall looking for it before and couldn't find it very easily.

2. Where do I put that? Sorry, I am new to mapping.

3. Thanks, I will check that out http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

1.) http://www.paynereactor.com/modifications-mp2-tools.htm

2.) I have no mapping experience at all but I'm guessing you add it to the FSM area for the object you want to press. I would assume so anyway.

1. ldb2rip.zip (http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/%7Emwj99/personal/ldb2rip.zip)

2. Put this in a trigger's FSM for example.
Check my website for tutorials links.

if the textures you get from ldbrip aren't enough...or what you want...an other option, if you have a digital cam...is to go around taking pictures...lol

since the textures in MP2 are most likely photos themselves...there should be no problem with it looking "right"
