Hey,

I've recently started messing with PerfectGold again, and I now intend to make a brand new level in Perfect Dark. I've run into a problem, though. I've made a level model in DeleD already, and imported it in the editor with help of the tutorial on the vault. I have a start point pad on the floor, but whenever I go in-game to test it, I am stuck halfway in the floor and I die seconds after.



Everything looks fine in the editor, and I've setup a clipping tile (which is walkable) as well. I've also noticed when I open other setup files (Rare's levels), the presets are slightly raised, like in the picture below. Maybe that has to do with the problem; perhaps all the presets are slightly offset from the real in-game location? When I inject a Rare level into my ROM, everything is fine, which suggests that they should be raised in the editor to work correctly, but that's far from ideal of course. Any ideas?

Try raising the startup pad as you mentioned. For some reason, unlike goldeneye, it needs to be raised about 10 units or in most cases you fall through floor on boot level and are killed.

[Uufje]

Strangely, it doesn't help and puts my into the same location, stuck in the floor. I've tried raising the clipping tile as well, but it doesn't change anything either.

[SubDrag]

That is the start point right and only have one?

[Uufje]

Yeah, I raised the gray start point. It's the only pad in the level right now.

What level are you trying to replace ? I had issue when replace the first datadyne mission. Any other level worked fine.
Worth mentionning just in case...

[Uufje]

You're right, I used the first DataDyne mission. I've switched to replacing Air Force One now, and it loads correctly.

Thanks for the help so far. Maybe it's worth investigating why the first mission won't be replaced properly?

[Wreck]

Ah, the specially handled moon would do it. It's hardcoded as room 001 in those dataDyne missions. Area 51 has the horizon, Skedar has the rainbow surrounding, and Attack Ship has the red planet (using different room IDs). I believe you can edit these in the Stage Options portion of the Game Configuration menu. There are some other special things, such as room lighting, that can affect levels, in more subtle ways. Perfect Dark is certainly more tricky, especially crafting missions, but the GoldenEye X project has helped us to learn a lot more.

[Uufje]

Ah, I see it now. I see a few level IDs under the Stars header in the Game Configuration, and they correspond to DataDyne Central, Area 51 and Attack Ship, indeed. Interesting. I guess I could disable them, or select different stages, or use different rooms... It's not the most pressing issue for me right now, but at least I know now what's causing it
