No, I think we just happened to get a small slice from the actual (larger) terrain. Wondering if it may still exist somewhere...

Been doing some research... Remember the "phytestheightmap.raw" file? Well, it's an 80x80x8-bit matrix, which when rendered turns out to correspond to a tiny section of the "tarpit" as these images will show: https://www.trescom.org/wp-content/uploads/catablog/originals/image001....

This is pretty good looking! The head in particular looks pretty realistic. Hopefully you get your problems fixed with this one - the transparency issue with the teeth and jaw can be fixed by duplicating the vertices for those parts and flipping their normals as Trespasser doesn't render backfaces....

Hello you did a terrific job on this although I want to make a custom dinosaur on Tpdc and you had masters it I have a model with textures although I'm confused because I don't know how to set multiple textures like other custom dinosaur and to set up the animal to work with ai and body structure p...

Nice. Just what I needed for one of my projects.

Actually, what machf means is that the IT stuff (like the terrain) from the 3ds Max versions (15N/15R) is offset. If you import any of the retail/build 96 objects and retain their position, it will not be placed correctly with the 15N/15R terrain. So you will manually have to move everything after ...

Keep in mind that everythig is offset in those versions of the Town...

GMax 1.2 is the one we used. Still have the installers at hand.

Question I have is how do you rename the dinosaurs? I have resized them slowly and carefully and they all work properly I changed some property values. But they still have the same names. Wasn’t sure how to change the files name for them. For example I am making Dino children so could call trex bab...

Basically, you need to make a new "base" model with new parameters.

Maybe playing around with the values of the friction parameter...

Sounds interesting, have you tested that concept? I have not. In fact I don't know if anyone has ever tried making a proper rolling ball in-game. You'd need a lot of physics objects to try and make it "round". I'd go with the small rhombicuboctahedron... it just requires 9 right rectangul...

Looks good...

I hadn't realized there was already a public release of this little level... I'll give it a try during the day.
