Hello everyone!

I've been programming with dbPro for about a month now and I've figured out a lot about the language, and I love it! I can import my 3-D artwork and move it around just nicely.

But, I can't seem to figure out BSP. I would like to make complex levels (in Lightwave 8.0) and use them in my games just like Unreal Tournament, or other proffessional games. But I haven't read any good definitive source that explains BSP and how it works in dbPro.

So if there is anyone out there that can explain or point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks!

This is the end, beautiful friend...

Hi.

BSP stands for Binary Space Partitioning system or something, and it has in-built collision information and such. BSP is quite easy to use, but is a lot slower than other collision types. I'll see if I have some code somewhere...


Here, I found this "old" code. I'm not sure if it's for any use at all, but it is quite simple. And I think that it works.

Thanks KLU, but your post still doesn't explain BSP. I don't know any programs that can create BSP or exactly how I can make a BSP map.

Your code only demonstrates basic loading and handling of BSP inside dbPro. I can read the manual for all those commands.

I need to know how to create BSP. Is it through Unreal Tournament's editor?

Thanks for any insight.

This is the end, beautiful friend...
