Hiya, hey WinRAR works but you have to choose to compress the file in 'zip' format. There is a choice of compression type .rar or .zip - - then name it .kpf same as for q3 - .pk3. If compressed in .rar format it won't work.

So hella demon spawn, I've been working piecemeal a little bit here and a little bit there. It's always tough to learn a new edit format. I'm just building a vanilla Turok map trying to figure out basic gameplay features that can be built upon. The scripts and variables are so vague and mostly angel scripted within the game engine, it's hard to figure out what all the combination of variables are. Even the texture shaders seem to be within the game engine. I see other guys focusing on those and that's great too. It looks like more people are mapping today, there are new posts on steam workshop. Ahhhh the crashing is still there and I know how to reproduce it. I am inputting a bad command and it reports an error. go figure.  doh!

Thanks for checkin' on me =)

So I guess I got the teleport flag to work, just now! Before, I was trying to set 'arg2' field to a specific number, the map ID as illustrated in the tutorial. So if I set that as -1 which is default in the warp point Target TID, that works. So Hell to me, that works for a benchmark.

Hi Duke and hey I zipped the map up (.kpf) but I cannot get it into the game engine directly without using the workshop. I tried a few different ways. I think in 'Jungle Falls' map the pickups and actors repopulate the map also upon player death and respawn, don't they? I think I tried looking at your map and the original maps as well.

I have the checkpoints working upon player death but teleporting doesn't work as illustrated in the 'tutoriallevel.map' example from nightdive. I tried making that a .kpf as well and running through the workshop, and changing the arg inputs. I don't think I exhausted the testing but I did try a lot of different things.

With 'Jungle Falls' it doesn't run for me through the training level option although it does show up there. If I fire it up from there the game crashes to fatal.

My Godaddy account just closed after a year so my web storage and wordpress pages are gone now. So the links that I had posted in other threads will now be dead links. Just a note.

So if anybody sees this, lol, I guess it's up to me to figure out the teleport keys and the spawnflags that will make the lifeforce pickups spawn only 1 time, and not repopulate themselves upon player death. Does anybody else have to use task manager a lot to shutdown the Kex editor? I understand it's a complete arse pain to reverse engineer this game engine, or any other.

Right now the teleport and respawn difficulties are slowing me down. Can anybody offer suggestions about these?

Thanks La Duuka64.

So was there a Turok editor out before this one? I haven't found any info about it except for here  .

I'm in Los Angeles and the last time I went to a Dodgers baseball game a couple of years ago, there was a player here named LaDuca. The whole stadium chanted La Duuuuuuka when he came up to bat and it was pretty cool. La la land. It has it's good points.

Best, Gazer

So I am assuming from threads that I've read while looking for help with Kex issues, that some people use an editor for Turok, other than the -Kex- editor.

Can anyone post a link to it here so I could check it out? Kex works but if there's a editor that is faster and better at handling memory I like to use it. I suppose I could just google the doom64 editor but asking for help seems more appropriate since there are not a lot of people creating maps for these games.

Thanks and happy fraggin'. Gazer

Post Script: Does anybody know the command to set desktop shortcut, launch editor, using steam?

Welcome. I can help with this. I also moved this topic to this board the other area is for general non Turok mods Like Doom 64 maps or say a Shadow Man mod. But all Turok 1 modding/mapping can go here even questions for it. Glad to see another mapper I will take a look myself and then explain to help. You make some Quake maps? Sounds awesome that is the type of thing you could release in the other board in the general board if you felt like. Give me some time here though I will post soon about this.
