HI Pro noob. Here's an example that shows you how to load your level, and you can decide where to start just changing values x,y,z in line eight of this piece of code. I attached the complete example in order you can try your own level. You can see in upper left, the values of x,y,z so just move where you would like you player(camera) to start, and copy and change this values for your new values ...that's all .




Cheers

Ok. This are the starting position.

Quote: "`starting position
`============================================================================
x#=-565 :y#=96 :z#=-579 :gira#=45 :avance=2 :vol=120 :suavizado=5:jugad=1
`============================================================================"


If we decide to start a little bit more on the right, we could code:
x#=-100 :y#=96: z#=-579


so in the code, you can see all the time the coords. where you are in every moment. Imagine that you want to start upstairs, but you don't know the coord...just execute the code , go up stairs and just write the new coordinates that you see when you are upstairs, ...you have to modificate the initial position in the code.


Cheers.

Instead of buying 3dworld studio, you could try with Deled, that is free, and with its free plug-in, you can export lightmaps and objects to .Dbo and .x and in just a couple of days you will be able to handle.

ok thanks... i will check it out.. "i generally tend to avoid freeware"
not that its bad but Obviously with most things in life "you get what you pay for" cartography4 is free an well yeah look at the issues with it

If anyone has 3d world studio could ya drop in an give me your opinion "i dont mind buying things to help improve my projects "im not rich but i do have money to spend"

that being said if 3dworld studio is the way to go for dbp i will pick it up


thanks
