 Posted: Thu May 02, 2013 6:28 pm Post subject: Missing Clipping Function for Perfect Dark? |
  |
|
Hey I was using the editor about a year ago, and under "edit clipping" mode there was a tool that looked like a paintbrush that let me add more clipping based on the background triangles I was using this to give make the rooftops in the Villa (solo) solid.
That was on an old computer and now that I reinstalled GEEdit it seems to not work anymore, it does nothing when I click a blank spot in the clipping mode. I tried everything I could to get it to work but to no avail. I also noticed Subdrag had done some updating to the brush clipping in September 2012. (Info found here http://goldeneyevault.com/blog/).
Was this handy little feature removed? it was the only way I could get clipping tweaks to work 
(also sorry if it's in the wrong section I'm not sure if this falls under Mapping/modeling or Hacker Central)

You're correct, that used to be a feature, but now the brush actually paints clipping colors.
There are alternate ways, such as holding shift in room positions mode, and clicking a lot of tris, and then right click and change to clipping, clicking and pressing f. Or the "covert all tris in rooms", etc. I didn't realize anyone used that before. Hopefully this is satisfactory. |

Okay that works, it would be nice to have a click interface to tweak clipping but I might grow to like the shift click room positions method better. I just wasn't sure how to do it.
By the way what does coloring Clipping do? is it just for organization or does it affect gameplay in some way.

| The props and guards on the clipping tiles (and your gun when over it) get a slight shade from it. I guess it is supposed to be there for shading that wasn't statically defined in the background file, it does a tiny bit towards that goal. |

Ah okay that makes sense, and is pretty awesome I must admit, as a kid I always liked Perfect Dark for it's nice colored lighting effects (especially since most games hardly had any at all) thanks for the help subdrag.
