Wow,
Thanks for your great advices on ideas to make map fun....
I really am impressed with the knowledge you have acquired in mapping (teleport,
setting gravity, lava, flowing water, vehicles, airplanes etc...) I do not know
how to implement these features into my maps yet, therefore I think I have a lot
more and more to learn.
Please send me some of your mentioned maps to this email address:
tnguyen1au@yahoo.com.au
I would like to learn also how you implement a model (*.mdl ?) of a plane into
a map...I can never manage to put a mdl model into map...although I have
downloaded a few customed mdls model from the web, and also would you please
specify for me how to trigger a change of gravity in the map.
I really like to make maps with the cool features that you mentioned, would like
to learn more from you.
Thanks and regards,
Daniel Ng.
