Ok Great Modders of GT, I need a little help. I currently have an idea for a Cloud City like map but the mod tools dont seem to have the Cloud Ciy odf and msh files. So my question is this: is it posible to to get these files from an out side source? I remember thought maybe i could download the SWB1 mod tools but idk if that would work and even if it did that still seems like a lot of space taken up just for pieces of 1 map to be used. Anyway if you guys could help me out here i'd really appriciate it.

P.S. When I use Zero Editor I can move an object on the X and Z axises but not on the Y (up and down). I even changed my mouse to see if it was just the button but it still didnt work. Did I just get a messed up download or is the default key map differnt for some mice?

idk bout question 1....but as far as moving objects up and down, I have to select the object, then hold the "c" key and drag the object using my middle mouse button.

I know thats the problem. When I hold down the middle mouse button it doesnt let me move the object up or down.

SWBF 1 Mod Tools

First i want to thank squipple for the link to the SWB1 mod tools.

Second i have another question now that the basic scructure of my map is layed out. Now my map is made basically from pieces of Cloud City and platforms. Walkways, sky ramps, a small platform, and some gas cells. I know there is a way to change the colors of at least the walkways and ramps. I want to make them yellow and blue but i am not sure how. Can anyone tell me how to do this or give me a link that can?

Also i would like to know if it is possible to put up a picture ( .bmp, .jpg, etc) in a map as a "wall paper" or "portrait" like object so that it would look like a picture was hanging on the wall.

Any advice or tutorial links that anyone can give me would be greatley appriciated.

change the TGA file for the object in your MSH folder ^.^

for the last question, you can if you modeled a poster thing, or Downloaded a lego pack from filefront ((SWBF 1 section))

ok so because of the fact that im a noob to modding i really have no idea what to do to the .tga file, i dont know how to model, and i dont know what a lego pack is. can anybody expand a little more on this?

the .tga file is the texture so if you want a poster that says "hello" u need a .tga editor to reskin the object and replace the .msh with your new one. the lego pack was made so people can reskin the blocks it comes with. if you want a tutorial on how to mod d/l xsi and read the tutoirial at http://www.saturnlabs.net/Tutorial_NewS ... ge_00.html .
