hah, k cool

New version is out:

http://www.moddb.com/games/half-life...nloads/propper

Changes since last release:

• Fixed bug where using one alternate skin caused skins not to work
• Propper should now create any folder that needs to be created
• the OB version no longer creates a .bsp file
• logging is off by default. Use the command line option -logging to turn it back on. Hopefully this gets around the problem where it tries to create a log but can't.
• option to remove bumpmapping from the converted materials. Useful if you plan to use -StaticPropLighting on compile
• Fixed the issue with FGD files loading in the wrong order.

FYI the old download link, thoughtfully provided by [AE] 82694, has expired. The file can now be found at http://www.moddb.com/games/half-life...nloads/propper

I forgot to mention the new version of Propper that came out a month ago!

Changes since last release:
You can now create more than one model at once by turning parts of your existing map into propper_model entities. You can run Propper on the map and it will ignore everything except the propper_*entities. Other new features include:

• custom physics meshes
• LOD support
• bodygroups support

Also there's this:

Nice work Carl.

Carl.. would there be any way of making proper make rope entities into static models? (Can't remember if I asked you months ago already)

Also, I've done clip brushes to act as collision boxes for my converted displacements.. don't seem to be working. Any ideas?

You can add ropes to a model with Propper, but they don't work on static props, I think. Afaik it's exactly the same thing as if you'd used move_rope.

If you want some static cables modeled, I could probably do that for you.

If you are using version 0.3, you need to specify a brush entity to use for collision (even if it's the same propper_model you've just made). Otherwise it will make it non-solid.

riiight okay - sorry I need to look a bit closer :p it was 1am.. not my fault :D *edit* ohhh, skipped over it when I saw physics an thought it was some dynamic prop thing - still sorry!

*edit* I am correct in assuming that clips are needed for displacements tho ye?

WRT ropes. I might come back to you another time, there's been loads of ropes between lights for medieval that never reached the map releases cause I hit the rope limit lol. I'll only ask if I actually get one ready for release again... but if propper could do it then I'd do it myself. Thanks for the offer tho.

Oh and I thought I'd add that the new version ith the propper_model entities makes things so so much easier. Just being able to just run it on warpath and then hide the conversions and import the model... brilliant work :-)

Does it work with displacement alpha?

Nope, because models don't support it.

ah yeah thought I'd asked you before :p And that makes sense cheers
