Whynot just go play Halo?

I'm still not feeling tip-top shape, I'm resizing the flag bases right now to make them more roomy, and going to attempt a ladder volume as well later today. When I feel all better then I'll pack it up and put it on the beta forum.

Well, if you get a ladder volume to work - I would be VERY interested in how you did it - with pics and explanation - I have been trying for several hours now and cannot seem to get a ladder to work - even following some of the explanations given in these forums . . .so, please let me know if you get it to work. I am working a map now and I NEED a few ladders - I could use jump-pads- but they are giving me issues as well - not working for some reason . . . and they would not meld as well in the map I am making. Thanks in advance for the help guys. . . and good luck with that map - it really looks good - wouldn't mind trying it out when your done . .

Well, ladder volumes simply don't work unless the ladder is North (up on the X axis when looking in top view) where you climb it. There seems to be no way to fix that.

Jumppads need to target a Pathnode. It's a good idea to place that node higher than it puts it as default. When you re-build paths and check out the paths in the viewport ("P" key while in an editor viewport), you'll see a purple arch from just above the jump pad to the pathnode.

Some people say to use a "tag" on the node or whatever, then put that into the target field... Well, that way always gives me issues, but I just click on the Node and use it's name as the target...

didn't mean to 'jack the thread, this really wasn't the place for the above post, but there ya have it.

Still looking forward to Timberland being finished.
