Hey guys !
@ Holy Diver : Well, what I'm doing with the VM is just editing the map and placing enemies, objects, saving , compiling etc. Only thing I've really done so far is make a couple of test areas to get a feel for whats going on and play around with events and timers. It's all new to me so a way to do it right would be the better way :D I'm making the custom items and map pieces in meta, converting them and running the tests on the main computer. I couldn't keep the editor from crashing on the main comp because of the newer ati graphics card I'm figuring. Turning it off and on and restarting all the time was kind of a pain in the neck. I didn't know of a better way to do it. I was just following the troubleshooting advice on the download page and it worked is all I know. *shrugs* lol . I have SOM installed on both the VM box and the main comp with a shared folder mounted to the VM drive to save the maps in one area. Seems to work ok. I have to copy n paste 2 sets of files though & that gets old. I agree I'd much rather be able to run the whole thing on the windows 7 machine and trash the VM. I learned a lot about making, mounting and/or burning bootable iso's in the meantime though.
@Verdite : Yes, you are definitely the SOM blacksmith as I've seen and read :D . I used your sword placement mqo file for the axe and shortsword I made. Worked like a charm man :) saved me the time of guessing where to put the weapon till it showed up in game. Thanks! I made a mistake at first thoug like someone else did. there was a large flat pointed piece angled 90 degrees from the two swords above the ZX plane I thought I was to follow. I was clubbing skeletons with a giant sword handle lol. Any Idea why the mhm isn't lining up with the map model ? it doesn't get much simpler than a 5 face/ 6 vert map piece other than a flat square. looking forward to the tutorial. Thanks again man :)
