Title: Fences
Post by: john_clark on 08 Aug 2005, 17:20:15

Does anyone know where I can find large chain-link type fences, and is there an easier way to place fences than:

1. Place
2. Load mission and check
3. If not in right place, return to 1

Thanks

there's no way around the hit-and-miss placement of fencing - or any models for that matter - that you want to match end to end.

you can, however, cut out a lot of the misery by placing your first two, join them up, copy both together and paste a new pair, match the new pair with the first, copy all four, paste a new four, etc... doesn't take too long to get 16, 32, 64, 128 bits of perfectly aligned fencing...

you can then save those huge lines of fencing in a test mission, and when you want to replicate those lines, just load up the mission, select however many fences you need, copy, load up the new mission map and paste. voila, instant fencing ;)

Thats half of it.  Any ideas about the chain link fence, like the stuff the sections off the north west portion of Koljugev.

It is trial and error I'm afraid.  I have spent many happy hour surrounded by all sorts of stuff looking for the things I really wanted.

Camcreating would work, but I think the maths of working out exacatly where you want them could be a challenge.

There is an easier way in my opinion but involves unpboing the map your using

1.unpbo the map you want to edit
2.load it into a program called wrpTool (not wrpedit!)
3.Read the manual that comes in the program
4.Walla instant easy and straight roads and fences everytime!!!!! (you can make curvy roads and angled fences of course!

EDIT - Here is a pic of a mission i am working on. All the objects including the fence were created with wrptool
Kind of a bad pic but the fence stretches all the way back
