    Have you set up WorldCraft with the ns.fdg that was included with the NSTR? The option to do so is up there in the options somwhere.

    Yeah, we'd all be doomed if Flayra forgot something as basic as not being able to find the RR entities <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    that avatar, i think Flayra should have his own, as he is the lead programmer. A Flayra-only avatar next to his Flayra only title.

    I feel very poor now cause i found my entities. i couldn't find them because for some reason i thought that they were point based entities but they were brush based. and there was no real point posting the topic and it was a real newbie thing to do and that annoys me cause i'm not a newbie at mapping and yeah and now it turns out i have the same avatar as Flayra and i'm having a bad day <!--emo&:angry:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'><!--endemo-->

    Don't sweat it, Mouse. It happens.

    I made the same mistake about the entities... it just didn't register in my mind that they would be brush based... although so obvious. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    It's easy to get confused in the excitment of something like the NSTR. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    yeah NSTR is pretty sweet

    hey BTW are there any skys that come with the NSTR? cause i can't find any.

    and does the info on the env_custom_particles in the mapping guidelines confuse anyone else?

    If you want skies, I'd suggest browsing at the Wadfather.  I'm not sure of the url, but I know it's hosted at PHL.

    And I'm sorry to start pimping here (actually, I'm not), but here's a guide that I wrote up.  I think it fits the bill well enough to give you a basic understanding.  I tried to keep it as simple as I could.

    The <a href="http://www24.brinkster.com/mattrye/NSWorld/MappingGuide/MappingGuide.htm" target="_blank">Quickstart Guide</a> also has Jacius's tutorial on particle systems.

    And be sure to check out the Mapping FAQ (at the top of the page) as it has links to all the NS related guides such as that particle system guide and the help guide by ChromeAngel and such.

    <a href="http://pstutorial.tripod.com/" target="_blank">Greedo's In-depth Guide</a> is way better (and more up-to-date) than mine, so you should also check that out.

    This reminds me of the time when all my particle systems went back in time -- after I installed the NSTR2 and was working on my map, I noticed that all the env_particle_custom's had reverted to a previous state. I'm blaming it on my "convenient" practise of saving in .map format, so I can compile more easily. Rest assured I wont do that again

    But, you problem was totally different. I just felt like sharing <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Don't be bustin' on Mouse for using "Flayra's avatar" -- that's a freely available avatar that you can select in the control panel <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> So *pphhhbt*!

    Plus it's one of the better avatars. Of course, no where near as nice as mine. Not a chance. Long live pudgy, the level 2 builder alien!
