NWNG NWNG.md2 9.0 0.0
RING RING.md2 4.0 0.0 that's it at the moment
but does it have to be like this to work
PLAY PLAY.md2 9.0 0.0
RING RING.md2 4.0 0.0
NWNG NWNG.md2 9.0 0.0
.besides that, what things can i change? i have it like PLAY PLAY.md2 9.0 0.0
NWNG NWNG.md2 9.0 0.0
RING RING.md2 4.0 0.0 but the rings are still in there sprites, not model

And what are the things names, because i would like to replace some more.....stuff with models,

You can change anything that uses sprites, in-game.

What? what has that got to do with the post above you? i know you can change the sprites, i just want to know the sprite names, because it says "CAN'T FIND: RING"

 

[Segmint]

Oh, oops. I thought you were asking exactly what you can change. Have you tried looking in srb2.srb?

The first four letters of the sprite's lumpname. Animation keyframes are used to find the fifth letter. (First frame - A, Second - B, ect) and the rest is unneeded.

 

[light dasher]

Uh, whats that supposed to mean?

 

[Shuffle]

That means: Go figure out how SRB2's lumps and animations work BEFORE making 3D models.

Prefix, then angles.

For example:
PLAY = Prefix
A1 = Animation frame A, angle 1.
PLAYA1 = total lump name.

So, PLAY would be what you'd use for the name there.

So, find the prefix for whatever you're looking for.

Ring sprites are called BON1.

AAAAAH I think i get it now, thanks people,

A png picture file with the same name as the md2. Also, could you tell me what program you are using to make the md2s?

What about the spikes?

 

[Kaysakado]

What do you mean?

 

[Chaoman]

What do you mean?

What do I name a model that replaces the spikes that make you lose rings when you land on them?

 

[Kaysakado]

I don't know, go look it up in the SOC Editor.

Well, there's a problem there as well.

GFZ uses sector-based sprites (which look and work much better) so adding MD2s for those will only affect sprite-based spikes.
