<H1>Step 4: Applying Environment Mapping to Entities</H1>
|
|
|
|
<P>Now that your new environment map is in <B>
|
|
anoxdata/graphics/env/</B>, we need to apply them to some
|
|
entities. Simply add to an entity the key <B>"envmap"</B> and
|
|
the value <B>"<I>basename</I>"</B> where <I>basename</I> is the
|
|
basename of your environmental map.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>For example, if you created the two environmental textures
|
|
<B>blue_ft.png</B> and <B>blue_bk.png</B>, the basename is
|
|
therefore <B>blue</B> and you would have something like this in
|
|
your map file:</P>
|
|
<PRE class="cmd">
|
|
// entity 1 layer 000
|
|
{
|
|
"classname" "mys_white_torus2"
|
|
"origin" "-253 -1 109"
|
|
"newscaling" "1"
|
|
"sequence" "667:3"
|
|
<B>"envmap" "blue"</B>
|
|
}
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
<P>You can add this key/value pair through any of the
|
|
established methods of modifying entities in Anachronox:
|
|
through NoxDroppings, through IONRadiant, or some direct
|
|
map-modification tool (notepad and others). See the
|
|
documentation for each of these on how to add or modify entity
|
|
key/value pairs.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Compile the map, load it up, and it should be there!</P>
|
|
|
|
<H4>Final Notes</H4>
|
|
|
|
<P>Right now, setting the environment map for an entity is not
|
|
supported by Planet scripting or APE scripting. If you want a
|
|
script to access a reflective object, you need to grab an
|
|
object that is already in a level that has the <B>envmap</B>
|
|
key set. Since we want reflective objects for mystech effects,
|
|
support for these tools is planned in the near future.</P>
