first is this door

everything looks normal apart from size which i will change
but when the door is closed

what would cause it to do that
ps notice the ammo who thinks i don't give enough ammo now
the second one is the guards at the start of the level who seem to not react properly to their command

Code:

they aim at bond but once one of my rules are broken they don't attack they just keep standing there aimed and ready to do NOTHING
I have a good mind to fire them from my EVIL Corporation

The first one must have the "area behind door not visible" flag set, change it to visible. It's odd that it would close the portal like that though, I thought being able to see through the windows into the room would keep it open.

I'm not sure what's wrong with your guard, you have plenty of triggers so even if one of those failed one of the others should make them work.

[TAKA Michinoku9.1]

i tried the guards again and when i slap a guard he and only that specific guard attacks you its really strange because i run around doing everything that should trigger them plus i have another trigger planned

While I haven't checked it out in the editor, if that is only one portal covering the door and the windows, once the door is closed the entire portal closes, windows and all.

If you really wanted to get tricky with it, you could create 3 separate portals, though that would probably be pointless as it would cause virtually no noticeable difference in framerate.

[TAKA Michinoku9.1]

Thank you bmw and Dragonsbrethren the door problem turned out to be the door size and made it smaller and it worked perfectly as for the guards at the start they now attack at the slightest ounce of disobedience
i had another problem with using cloning guards like they did in archives and bunker 2 original where if i guard heard you he would send a clone of himself without going himself it froze once but i put it down to the emulator because it does have some moments where it just does that.
i have a sort of hostage that will shock most of you but i was wondering if i used natalyas action block to make him follow you (the one she used when you rescue her in archives) would he run like a girl kind off a strange question i know i just don't want him running like that

Portals are tricky, I'd never have thought that you'd be able to seal off a room like that. I figured that as long as any part of the room was visible the portal would stay open.

I tried getting all of Complex's portals to close behind doors, but it was nearly impossible, either they would stay open (door too far back A), you could see the open door through the wall (door too far forward), or you'd just see the sky around parts of the door (door too far back B). Ironically, the doors I decided to make see-through were the ones I had the most success getting to close off. I came to the conclusion it was the result of how the rooms are connected, if you load up complex you'll notice that the majority of the interior rooms connect diagonally.

Eventually I just gave up, the framerate never took the hit I expected since I kept the number of objects low.

[bmw]

Yeah, the way portals are closed off is if any part of your door, while closed, is touching any part of the portal, and behind door not visible tag is on, the entire portal closes. And if your door is not lined up PERFECTLY with the portal (ie, the edge of the door must be on the exact same plane as the portal), you will see black/sky in between the door and the portal whenever the door is closed.

So if your door is not exactly between 2 separate rooms, there is no way to close off a portal. I remember I had that problem in aztec - the vertical moving mainframe door is not right on the room boundary, so I had to leave that portal open.

[Dragonsbrethren]

I wonder if there would be any way to automate creating a door on the room boundaries, that would certainly make it easier to get them positioned correctly. For the doors I did get to close off, I took advantage of the way the rooms are highlighted in yellow when selected in room positions mode. I placed my door, then used the keyboard controls to move them forward, selected the room, and kept doing so until I couldn't see any yellow around them. That usually stopped the visible sky problem, but more often than not the door was too far forward and could be seen through the walls (This is really only a problem with sliding doors, a swinging door would have worked fine).

[TAKA Michinoku9.1]

would the fact that i made the glass tinted glass have helped in this situation plus the door was toggled "Area behind door not visible" and in order to see through it you have to be very close "Distance for see-thru" 00000050

i hope this was the reason because if i had to edit portals i would have been in quite a mess

[bmw]

Having tinted glass should not be a problem - just make sure you have area behind door visible ON and area behind door not visible OFF and you should be ok. That is such a small room that closing off the portal behind the door is not necessary.

And yeah, modifying portals is a much more advanced technique than doing basic stuff. It requires the exporting of portals to a text file, modifying those values in that text file to be perfectly round numbers, re-importing, and then overwriting your background file (which is another monster in and of itself)

[TAKA Michinoku9.1]

no i could probably do that clipping was easy enough unfortunately i cannot save projects so my knowledge cannot be put to full use there
i was planning to do a perfect dark mission and found out after around 3 hours of doing clipping i could not save projects 3 hours completely wasted i still have the clipping file though incase a solution comes along

I've never used project mode myself, I still do things the old-school way because project mode was not yet an editor feature when I wrote my library mission.

To do things manually, you need to simply write the setup, clipping, and background each separately. It doesn't really matter in what order either.

I assume since you said you can't open projects that you're manually writing your setup file, so I won't explain how to do that, I'll just explain clipping and background.

To save your clipping file, while in clipping mode just right-click any tile and choose OUTPUT CLIPPING FILE. That's easy.

Then to write your clipping changes to the rom, Go to TOOLS----CONVERT ROM. Choose the drop-down list at the bottom - scroll about 3/4 the way down until you see a list of files that all start with TBG - select the one that goes with the level you're working on. Then click the button at the very bottom. First it will ask you for your clipping file - choose the file you saved earlier (it may very well be pre-filled in for you) - next choose your rom pre-clipping changes, then name a new rom for your post-clipping changes.

Writing and modifying bg is a bit trickier and involves more steps, I won't get into that here for now.

[TAKA Michinoku9.1]

cool thanks bmw I can open projects just cannot save them and the advice on the clipping did not work for me it is not giving me the option to put the clipping file in just the setup file
anyway i have a huge problem in my level but am unsure which one of these blocks is causing it

i think it is either them drawing the weapons that is freezing it or they are not fully moved to their presets before it moves on or the running bit because it went to the camera scene while showing the inside of the archives and not the outside and then it froze

Hmm, I see a few minor things, but I don't think any of these would cause a crash:

TAKA Michinoku9.1 wrote:

Code: 0002 Return Value Loop 0202 Resume If Return Value Loop Met

The 0002 action is redundant, since it will run directly into 0202 anyway if you leave that out.

TAKA Michinoku9.1 wrote:

Same thing here. You set the bit, then check if it's set and go to 0279 if so, but it runs directly into 0279 regardless. You should probably loop it here if you're worried about it actually being set (you shouldn't need to though).

Action AE resets and enables the cycle counter in one action.

Another redundant return.

This could be your problem. Generally non-Bond guards have their weapons spawned.

Moving them to the presets should be instantaneous, but you could loop it there and check if they're been moved before moving on.

you know before it faded to black i saw the "unknown guard" in front of me standing in position so that probably is not the problem like you said guard that are not bond need spawns ok got it.

but what about the camera not showing the outside of the archives just showing throught the windows to the inside
