Hal's Prefab Editor

[HAL9000]

[QUOTE=kimila;318177]Hi. This is the one i would like to insert but it seems to be too big. [ATTACH=CONFIG]10854[/ATTACH] Looking forward to the new release and hope this will solve the problem. The area i am talking about is 341 X 341 with asphalt around it, 5 block. Then i have made a small one 51 X 51 and place that inside so i get 32 small area that players can build on and they place there claimblock in the middle of that block so the are protected just to the road, if you know what i mean. Have a nice day.[/QUOTE] Can you send me the prefab? I'll run it through the editor and see if there's any issue. [QUOTE=HydroXTV;318254]I know thats and old one, but I just had an idea about that! (actually I had it 2pages later for whatever reason) Lets say you have a prefab where copyairblocks IS NOT ticked + rotation is 1(whatever direction that is). Change the stuff,while the game is running, u want to change(tick copyairblocks) make sure u SAVE it and then insert it again, aint that working?[/QUOTE] Yep, that would work. [QUOTE=kimila;318302]Got another problem. Found some old house and claim them. Put it into you editor and it seems ok. When i move mouse cursor over a block that should be stairsSmallRichwood i get this error "value of 23 is not valid for 'selectedindex'" There is the same block on the same layer in another place and here it is ok, but the block is not pointing the same direction maybe thats why it is ok. I can replace the block with woodframe but still get the error on the same block. Have a nice day.[/QUOTE] What version of the game are you running? And which version of the editor? Sounds like an error I've seen when there's a mismatch.

Good Evening Hal, I recently noticed that in some vanilla prefabs that diamond shaped blocks will sit flush when placed along certain cubed blocks. A good example of this is with vanilla prefab "store_book_sm_01.tss." In front of the store there are SideWalkFull blocks (cube shaped) placed next to asphalt blocks (diamond shaped). Strangely, when these two blocks are placed next to each other, the asphalt block smoothes itself out so it sits flush against the SideWalkFull block. However, if you grab both these blocks from out of the creative menu and place them alongside of each other they [color=red]will not[/color] create a seemless transition. After much testing, it appears that the blocks in question were somehow configured to allow for this special "Smoothing" transition to occur. Is there a function or meta tag in your editor that configure diamond shaped blocks to behave this way? See thread link below for additional information. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks :) [url]https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?32866-Block-Smoothing[/url]

[QUOTE=h0tr0d;308457] Also something else I noticed. When replacing terrain with blocks it causes a weird terrain mesh surface error, I did a video of my looking at it [URL="http://youtu.be/jBea75Sxjb8"]here[/URL][/QUOTE] [QUOTE=HAL9000;308488] Ah yes, the weird texture merging. That started a couple of alphas ago. You can try using the reset parameter in the InsertPrefab command to get rid of it. Resetting just fills the area with air first and then does the insert. The only donwside at the moment is this can't be used when having the CopyAir box unticked as it wipes the area clean before inserting. You set the reset parameter like this: bbb ip true Also, just as an after-thought. Now the editor is in lock-down with new features for a while it's a good time for me to make a video going through the editor from downloading for the first time, installation and usage. I'll see what I can do over the next couple of days.

Hey Hal About the adding of the "glassshower to glassbuisness" block. Thx for the offer - but NO !!! I have to check each prefab manually - because some glasshowers i wann keep. Only the ones that appear as windows have to be changed (hopefully!!!). This is man's work and cannot made automaticly IMO. I will check the Magoli-function with the custom-prefabs soon. But iam hardly into creating some new Buildings these days. (And this means Iam on 11.4 again !!! I love that version for creating very much :) !!! ) btw: Have u saw [URL="https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?32866-Block-Smoothing"]THAT[/URL] Do u have a idea how we can control that little gap between earth-kinda-blocks and common sqaured ones ???? cya Mag

Hi. Please tell how to send the file of the prefab i have some problems with. The old house is from alpha 10.4 maybe thats why there is some bugs i think. Have a nice day. kimila.
