O2 interface tutorial

[Scorpio 0]

I have took the time to make a basic O2 Interface tutorial, that would give users a basic understanding on how O2 works, and its features. I will not go into Gizmo mapping, ect. or any advanced tools, though.

Excellent, Scorpio

Here is the word list that you had a link to. It might be a useful part of the faq:

Good tutorial.

There is no such LOD available in my copy of O2

<span id='postcolor'>

Yes. You can define in the cpp how much dammage each part can take and if the bullet will pass through that part or not.

Mhh... I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that if there is no special geometry LOD defined then the definitions from the standard geometry LOD are used by the engine, except for the rendering objects behind part. At least it is the case for the fire geometry. But I'm guessing here.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Components – These are parts of the model that define Geometry LOD’s<span id='postcolor'>

Not neccesarily. Component## is the name O2 uses if you let it search for the parts of the model. A single vertex can be a component too. You can use them in any LOD, however naming of the modelparts like this is essential for the geomtry lod's AFAIK.

Ok, I updated the tutorial. Thanks KKB.

Anymore feedback would be appreciated.

I can update/extent the czech translation if necessary...

I did some testing (model was basicaly only a big cube in the geometry lod).

It is like I thought, if there is no view geometry LOD then the engine uses the normal geometry lod ( including not rendering objects behind it)

[zwadar 0]

If there isn't View GEometry LOD, engine uses Fire Geometry, and if it isn't there too, engine uses Geometry LOD.. :-)

Nice.... BUT I think for many of the peeps already here, things such as this are what we really want. Anyone can play around and figure out some of the intuitive features. That's we we all did it. It's the functions that are very specific to 3d modeling and/or to O2 that are not self explanitory that will generate most of the serious questons.

Maybe not... I just want to know
