Looking For Help? Look No More! - Kyle - 08-28-2011
Are you one of those people that needs help, no matter where you looked? Can't find the exact answer to your problem? Here, I will answer any questions anyone cares to ask about the HPL2 level editor, scripting, or language files.
I'll provide the most exact technique to your problem. If you want to keep it private, then you can private message me here on the forums, for you don't want your ideas to be spoiled.
I've noticed that some people who want to help can't always give the correct answer, for they aren't sure if it would work. I have been on these forums for almost a year and have full knowledge of the script functions page and all that is related to it for how to do it. I guarantee that I can provide detailed answers to details questions.

Have you followed these instructions exactly for the skybox? http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/tutorials/level_editor/tutorial_3
Sadly, my computer doesn't work for some reason when downloading the .dds plugins for Photoshop and Gimp. :/
I suggest private messaging DamnNoHtml or MrBigzy on this one. xD

Is the spotlight billboard globo trick the only way to make visual animations similar to TV and such?

I'm pretty sure that's the only way, unless you had seperate entities of the TV getting activated and deactivated every time the animation changes on the screen. I believe it would be much more difficult to do it the way I suggested, but it should give a better effect for a TV, maybe with color.

I would suggest following the instructions in this video i made for the GIMP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uKBYVEyw1s
When i have the time, i might make a Python script that does this automatically in the GIMP.

Holy crap... thats way too hard for what I was expecting, I will just go use a very boring sky box. xD
RE: Looking For Help? Look No More! - Elven - 08-28-2011
I gonna take chance and ask one question. Probably more in future.
If door is closed and I want it to force it ban opened, is it pretty much impossible whatever numbers I use at the impulse or force? It only works if door is opened little bit
?
RE: Looking For Help? Look No More! - JetlinerX - 08-28-2011
You can open it a very little crack, and disable auto-close, so it looks closed, then gets opened.
RE: Looking For Help? Look No More! - Elven - 08-28-2011
Oh damn, yes you can disable auto close
. I should have known that . That makes all the stuff way easier! Thank you JetlinerX !
