So i decided to updated strpix3 including a colision editor, hopping that now i will have some peace.

Download newer Strpix 3.6 revision 0 with colision editor included.
http://www.geocities.com/cyber_delphi/strpix3.zip

Remember use right click and "save link as" for download the file.

Also i found that i was forgeting to dissable the Data aligment feature in my
compiler, this could be causing corrupting in the WAD some cases.

Now it is fixed so i expect no more corrupted WADs.

Please, THIS IS NOT a invitation to post request about new features on strpix.

Enjoy and Thanks you very much.

I've got a 3DFX card and it works if you disable the cards acceleration like this:
Go to Display Properties/Settings/Advanced/Performance

Under Hardware acceleration,turn the slider to none and reboot.
Strpix will now work [hopefully, it does for me this way anyway ].

I know you have to do this everytime you want to use Strpix, and have to turn on acceleration again when you've finished ,but it's a small price to pay for a great programme...hope it works...have fun.

I guess that you are not reading the instructions in the readme file.

First select the static mesh from THE STATIC MESH combobox only (not from the regular mesh combo box).

There are two colisonal bounding box: one for visivility porpuse only and the other for COLISION porpuse only. select the apropiate radio boton for see/edit the bounding box. YOU HAVE TO FIX BOTH.

If you only edited the visibility box then in game you will not see any changes (this info is used for the enemies only).

so be sure that you are editing the secound
bounding box.

And be sure to have selected the static mesh from the new static mesh list.

*****************************************

Was so wieird, the strpix3.zip file was deleted from the server..

I uploaded the program again and i include a parameter for Voodoo users. download again
strpix 3.6 rev 1.

Run strpix3 this way: c:>Strpix3 24

Hope this will make run strpix ok in voodoo
video cards.

I currently have my web site here:
http://www.geocities.com/cyber_delphi/

I don;t know how much time i will stay there.

Good luck.

the first time I changed the collision, I got nothing changed in the game... (same wrong collision).

then I came back here and reading your words I though it was guilty by the fact that the visibility was TOO big than the collision infos... So I was careful, and I did them equal. But in the game for that object it was all the same (wrong collision as before)....

I used the original revised karnak.wad copied in another folder...

Then, with the ORIGINAL Angkor.wad, I put the visibility info but NO collision info (for an object lara can pass through but not enemies) and when I tried to load that wad, trwest crashed while loading it...

Hi,

i can't check this until tommorow, but i don't understand why you are having problem,
I realy tested this changing the colision info for originals objects in the original wads and it work ok.

Also if you see the bounding box for all statics mesh in the WAD, you will see that strpix3 is showing the info corectly.

May be all you are doing something wrong,

I can only imagine that you are editing just the visibility box...

or you are not selecting the static mesh USING THE STATIC MESH COMBOBOX LIST.

if you show your object selecting the "Mesh#.." then it will not work.

If you want to edit the colison then select the "Static mesh#.." list.

If you can post a screenshot fom strpix3 showing your edited bounding box in your custom object, then will be helpfully to see if you are doing somthing wrong.

As you can see, I selected the right static mesh and the two infos for collision (for lara and for enemies....)

Those infos are correct as I want, but in the game it is kept the old collision.... (I hadn't try this object with the new karnak wad I created from the original revised, but I tried this object only when I imported with TRWest in my complete wad...)

BTW, sometimes the static box (where I can choice which object I want to edit for the collision) does not show anything but always the same object... (I have to close and restart STRpix in order it works and shows objects correctly)....

I hope this shows you how to fix the problem....

do this ONLY if you have time, TP.
add one menu at the top:
lighting(or you always say - normal) -
1. old strpix style (only affected by flames, lara's flare, and gunfire plus the ambient light = the default the ambient light of the room) - since I always set my room's ambient light be 0,0,0 hence my objects are always pitch black no matter how many lights i add in the level.
2. official static object style (enough said, and the one i want, coz the lights in the room DOES cast shade on the objects though not very obvious)
3. dunno if this works or not, but i found the fountain in alexandria level accepts gunfire and lights in the room. (the one i want more )

anyway I will not die if you don't make them, sorry for breaking the rule of 'this is not an invitation to post request' thing. it's just i don't know programming otherwise i can do them on my own :P

I just come to my office and test strpix3 using original tut1.wad from CD.

I exported a statue to DXF, then i selected the vase, then i imported the statue over the vase, then i selected "visibility box" and i pressed -automatic bound-, then i selected "colision box" and i pressed -automatic bound- again. then i save the WAD.

The i used tomb2pc.exe for re-build tut1.wad, and i tested the colision in game.

ALL WORK 100% CORRECT, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH STRPIX3.

I even test changing manualy the colision and visivility, making it bigger and taller, ALL WORK 100% CORRECT IN GAME.

I don't know why you people make the things so complicated, i don;t understand why i recived e-mails telling that "when they press -automatic bound- nothing happend"

Psiko, i can only imagine that you edited the object i a WAD, but you re-built the level using another WAD, or maybe you did not save the edited WAD, or maybe you are not re-building the level at all, or maybe you are playing another level or maybe trwest is screewing the object...i realy don;t know what tha f*u*c*k are you doing in your machine.

>BTW, sometimes the static box (where I can >choice which object I want to edit for the >collision) does not show anything but >always the same object... (I have to close >and restart STRpix in order it works and >shows objects correctly)....

Maybe you have corrupted your strpix3.exe, please donwload again FROM MY WEB SITE.

I don;t known when i will come back to work with strpix3, better do not expect this.
