A question about Portals

[Gryphon Azura]

OK. I was creating a map for FH, and of course I have the portal to Cape Of Distant Worlds, however, I was wondering if its possible to make more portals leading to my other maps? like the small black ones to go to caves? and I can make a cave map it goes to? Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it?

Thanks, any help will be greatly apreciated!!!

Very possible. I thought there was an option in map maker that allowed you to add a portal and such. I'm not a map maker, though, so I'm not entirely sure how to.
PM CloudFish if he doesn't reply to this thread. He'll tell ye exactly how to do it. xD

Ok, thanks!!!!! There is no clear button labeled "create new portal" or anything like that. Ill wait a while and PM them if no one gives me a way

xD Alright then. I'd figure it out for you but I don't have my laptop at the moment. If you don't have an answer by the time I'm next online, I'll try and work something out.

To create other maps, you need to use gates.

Gates can be placed anywhere on your map, the most important part of the linking process is the coordinates and name entered into the dialog box.

Basically, you need to pull up the map you're wanting to link your base map to. My basemap could be something like Farrah Island. And my map I want to link it to could be Terror Caverns. I'd pull up the terror cavers map, place my mouse on where I'd want to APPEAR from the other map, and copy the coordinates in the right hand box.

Then I'd pull up the base map(Farrah), add the gate with the correct name, and enter the coordinates from the linked map(Terror). It basically works the same for linking back to the other map.

If this isn't explained well enough, tell me and I'll elaborate.

Yes! thanks so much it worked! I was wondering what a gate was. Thanks!

Ok, i need help with something els.... a texture. I basically want to make some flourite crystals in diffrent colors. Which file do i modify, save, and apply to the crystal in object creater to do this? where do i save it and how do i apply it?

[CloudFish]

Go to media>objects>misc. There, near the top will be crystal.material file, crystal1.mesh, crystalGlow.jpeg, and crystalTex.jpeg. These will be the files you'll need to edit, but make copies of these, and don't alter the ones in this folder. Copy them and place them in my_objects. Then you can alter the textures with a photoediting software. If you need help with the material file, let me know.
