Re: how can I vanish a teleporter?

You might try making all teleporters invisible via the LinkMaterial. Then for the normal teleporters, add a passable mesh that is textured and texmated with telelink.png inside the frame.

Your invisible teleporters will still show up on the radar though.

Re: flags on buildings without jump

The best way I've found is to allow jumping, but add "-set _jumpVelocity 0" to the options.

As for the pyramids over the base, you can either experiment with lowering _flagHeight, or add a safety zone to the base.

Re: Water waves.

My drawinfo waves are simply a large flat, doughnut shaped mesh that is centered outside of the map. The mesh is wavy and I turn the mesh itself in one direction and use a texturematrix to spin the texture in the opposite direction. That way it looks like the water's "foam" is generally st...

Re: 2.0.16 linear phydrv bug

The two straight sections have linear physics drivers, while the two curved sections have angular drivers. When MDSKPR jumped on he started spinning around as if he had a super fast version of the quick turn flag and he seemed to spin faster and faster the longer he was on the track. I was using 2.0...

I'm right next to sigonasr2, and I'd give the two adjacent squares to zaphod as well if you don't want to increase the size of the map.

Re: No Ricochet Box - 2.0.*

Pretty good, at least better than the ones I made a while ago. I tried yours out, but still managed to blow myself up because the walls are too thin. I'd add a smaller box in the center to catch most of the shots, and "panels" at 45º in the corners of the visible box to reflect shots inward.

Re: 3 Tanks.

I've had trouble with tanks sticking to a rotated group before. You might try rotating the group the opposite way, like if it's currently rotated 120 degrees, try -240.

At least that's how I fixed my maps with this problem.

Yes. You can use a dynamicColor to make the object's textures go invisible.

Is it just me or is the Ricochet option not working? I tried with the box checked and unchecked and shots wouldn't rico.

Other than that it works pretty well.
