| Hello again. I was not sure where to post this  but I think it went here, so let's go.
My question is how can I use the scenes feature? I have got a game called Half-Life 1 whose level editor can export to the .map format, and I am good at creating scenarios, so I know how to make scenes for the game, but the things I don't know are the following:
- In what folder must I put the .map's?
- In what folder must I put the textures?
- What format must I use for the textures? and
- How can I set the building's location within the game? (I supose with some kind of script like planets' or stars')
Hope someone can help me, thanks

| .map goes into SpaceEngine\data\models\buildings
texutres with their sub-folders goes to SpaceEngine\data\textures\buildings (open .map in a notepad to see the folder structure for textures)
Than run SE, open console (~) and type "map mapname", there mapname is the filename of your map file (mapname.map).
The map scale unit is 1 pc; to set some huge velocity to fly around the map
The console command "noclip" disables collision detection, spacebar key launches a few particles.

| Only two things more
1st a question: I left the textures in the wad format?
and 2nd: When I try to load the scene it says "no entities found" I don't know what entities I have to use for space engine since my compiler was designed for a 16-years-old game

No, they should be in usual image formats - jpg, png, tga. Upack them from wad.

The map should have at least one entity named "worldspawn" - it has all geometry. I don't know how HL1's editor works, maybe it is incompatible. I used GtkRadiant to make some maps for Quake 3, and added support of its map formats into SpaceEngine. So GtkRadiant is compatible with SE (or Q3Radiant, or NetRadiant - the most up-to-date version or Radiant editors family).
UPD: I remember one nuance, the .map file should be edited (in notepad) to take a form of SE script. You can make any entity begin with a world entity, any brush - from a world brush, etc, and remove quotes from names of all other parameters. For example:
.map before edit:
Code
// entity 0
{
"classname" "worldspawn"
"_ambient" "8"
"_lightmapscale" "0.125"
// brush 0
{

You may quickly edit the file by using "replace all" tool that must have any text editor. Using that tool, replace all
// entity
with
entity
all
"origin"
with
origin
etc.

| I think I've found the problem. HL1 editor compiles the map for the game in .bsp, and the .map you export isn't complied, so maybe its entities don't work...
I have editted the .map and SE finds it, but it gives lots of errors and its very difficult to edit too, because HL1 editor doesn't list the brushes and you have to go brush per brush writhing the numbers, so i'm going to download Radiant to see how it works...

| Ok. I tried the GTK Radiant and I'm sorry, but I dont like how it works. Maybe because I have spent 4 or 5 years with the other program (VHE) and this one works quite different, so I decided not to make the maps with Radiant, and only import them to Radiant and then save, but the problem is that I can't open in Radiant the maps I made in VHE. They appear empty, with no solids ... I'm going to try out the other versions of radiant to see if I can do something...
PD: I cant download your example maps. It seems too many people wants to download your files

| Do custom models work with this? I loaded a .3DS model into GTK and built a room around it with brushes, but in SE I'm only seeing the brushes. Does it have to be .MD3? (Yes I've removed all of the quotes and // from the parameters). I'm using GTKRadiant 1.6
Also, will we be able to attach buildings to planets in the future? I would literally be on SE all day

| SE doesn't support radiant's models, but in the future I will combine the supporting of .obj format with .map. NetRadiant supports obj too, so it will be possible to load a ship or building model in NetRadiant, then make its interior, and then export to SE.

You mean...fly your ship around in space, then switch to an actual interior mode, in real time, and see out the windows?! (And possibly walk around with a character eventually  ). I believe this, combined with multiplayer and EVEN better graphics (explorable worlds with vegetation, water, weather, and cities), would without doubt make Space Engine the most popular simulator/game on the planet!! (That is, if Infinity doesn't beat you to it :P)

| Am I correct in assuming-- and I swear I read this in another buildings thread earlier, when I wasn't able to respond-- that the maps cannot yet be bound to planetary bodies via coordinates? I've gotten Dust to load, successfully. It made me want to play Urban Terror.  But I digress. I could see buildings placement somehow being a function in the planet editor in the future, actually. Would be rather nifty.
