My appologies if this is not the place to ask however I'm terribly new to this (started like 2 hours ago haha) and your vids hvae been very informational so I was hoping I could get some info.

1) You have ALOT more in your model folders than I do is there something I'm suppose to do to get all that stuff? I only have like 5 things in my chapltfrm folder and don't even have a chaarea folder.

2) The DATools mentioned I am unable to find on the bioware social site, is there a link perhaps?

thx

[St4rdog]

social.bioware.com. I'm not sure about the folder items.

[St4rdog]

DATool is project 41 on the social site. Click a project then type 41 in the URL.

Question: I tested the room in-game and it went fine, except the player and the other guy both rendered completely black, like the ambient light was the only one acknowledging them. Do you know why?

[St4rdog]

Change the light type in the bottom-right at 1:24 to affects characters.

[ymonakhov]

ok, so how do you set up Active Python for the toolset, again?

[St4rdog]

Google Activepython. There's a green button on the main page with tiny blue text underneath - click tiny text.

Get version 2.5.4.4. Nothing else.
