I figured out I was going about changing the walkmesh the wrong way is what it was. Turns out if I decompile the walkmesh file back into ascii and load it in max, I can get rid of those holes. Never worked out the lightmap issue, though.

Overall, I decided to drop trying to edit a module already in the game by importing it into max. And what I was going to use that particular module for, I went ahead and am now making a whole new outside area instead. Hello, trouble.

Well, yes and no. Yes I am still trying to work on them, but I haven't been doing a lot of modeling lately. The only thing I have been doing in Max the last few weeks is messing with area models that are with the game and crawls.

As for modding of other sorts: both Har and I are back in school, which means not a whole lot of work for SotE, especially since he is also working full time.

On the other hand, I am miraculously finding time to work on writing the story for my own "fairly" secret project, which includes the snow module that I am hopefully destined to start working on again.

After some bad confusion, I think I'm ready to try my hand at making new areas for SotE, if there are still any left to make.

Awesome, I always love Quanon's tutorials. I'll check it out when I get my new computer(hopefully this weekend).

Don't worry, you will (he said hopefully).

For some reason, I can't see the chat box on the website.

I do. I'll go over to it now.

I haven't thought about snow actually falling for what I'm using it for, but I'm not sure. I've actually taken a prolonged break from my stuff to help out in SotE, so who knows when I'll have it done? Believe it or not, I've considered starting all over on the texturing a few times, breaking each model up into a few more pieces, and using 1 or 2 new textures to make it easier.

I'm good on Thursday, unless you're on later tonight.

ok, so it's just xat doesn't want to work for me period.

Well, thanks. But really, I haven't given up on making my snow planet, I'm just wondering if there is a better way than what I am currently doing. What I did was start with a plane, then use soft select to raise the border of my area - which will serve as mountains, then braking it up into pieces, then the all-boring UVW, and that takes a ton of work when you're only using 1 or 2 textures for the whole module.

Where is Team Hssiss chat?

Xat Chat isn't letting me into the chatroom, could you fix that?
