Spark Editor Commander Camera

FearMe2142

Hi, I have a problem with the commander camera, I followed mendasap's tutorial and got the locations in two rooms so far, and the minimap extent covering the entire map. I have the location entity's stretching high up (also had them low when I tried) and I placed down a commander camera in 1 room (and both, raising and lowering them) but when I test my map out and get in the marine comm chair, or alien the commander camera is always 3 feet from the floor, please help.

-Thank you.

It's because you have to build overviews anytime you change commander cameras

Thank you very much, could you briefly tell me how to make a overview? I looked in the entity's and didn't see it there.

Overviews are generated by builder, which can be found in the launchpad (which is also something you need to be using, don't just launch the editor by itself).

Have you setup a mod for your map yet? Or have you just been running the editor by itself and saving the files without the file structure of a mod?

If you've got the mod setup already, all you need to do is swap out the editor_setup.xml file with a version that tells the builder to run overview.exe. To do this, check out this thread I made: http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/133960/give-us-back-minimap-creation-from-builder-update-fixed-link-to-proper-xml-file-available

Now, when you run builder, it will automatically generate the minimap and commander camera heightmaps for you! Make sure you run the game through launchpad too, or else ns2 won't look in your mod directory and thus won't be able to find your map.
