NEC Platform Pak1

[tuangalimoreamtrak19]

I have created and partially textured the first platform in this pack. I will need help creating or findig and mapping the texture for the top of the platform. I ALSO NEED HELP CREATING A CONFIG FILE FOR THIS SPLINE. If i finish by today in the event people help me with things stated above i will do a late night release.

looks gud

Thanks jut have to figure out how to write a config and finish how to finish the texture

Look at the config files of other platforms/splines already in the game. Most, if not all, follow the same basic structure; the only thing you'll have to do is tweak some of the parameters to fit your needs. One thing to point out from your screens above: if it's going to be a spline and not a stand-alone object, you need the entire mesh to be oriented on the -Y axis, otherwise it won't behave like a spline will. It looks like you have it centered at the origin, which would make it usable only as an object.

The most important value is mesh-length. This is the length the platform is supposed to be in METERS. You'll probably have to adjust it up to 50% from whatever length you determine so as to prevent the texture from becoming distorted (assuming you are using a non-solid, quality texture like asphalt or concrete.)
