What the! How do you do previewing in VB.NET? :o
hehe
Probably taking the Y,Z coords and telling the system to draw it.
yep :P

tetsuo: i'll look into it.

EDIT: yep, i missed a single line of code...fixed by adding:
m2_3 = m2
however, until I release a new version, you can still make twists with powers of 4 and 2 :P

damn....well i did the exact same values as you and got this
http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/2012/notaproblembh8.jpg

1 - are you running in a language other than english? (it probaby doesnt matter, but just checking)
2 - are you using the QWERTY keyboard? with the regular ASCII set?
3 - have you got the .NET framework 2.0 installed?
4 - can you please post the VMF? you can open in notepad and put in pastebin or something, thx

is anyone else getting these errors?
and does the preview work OK for everyone? any crashes?

please post the VMF, madcow.

can you put in ten _generics in, all playing the same file, and play each one a certain time, one after the other, and each one has more volume?

example:

ambient_generic
Volume: 1
Dynamic presets: none
Fade in time: 0
fade out time: 0

ambient_generic
Volume: 2
Dynamic presets: none
Fade in time: 0
fade out time: 0

ambient_generic
Volume: 3
Dynamic presets: none
Fade in time: 0
fade out time: 0

...

ambient_generic
Volume: 10
Dynamic presets: none
Fade in time: 0
fade out time: 0

and loop the last one however many times you want.

all icons are temporary until i could be bothered to make one (the icon i pinched from the vista icon lot) and the text is from earlier builds where i had to copy/paste the code from the prog into the VMF file - it is no longer needed, but it remains for..something to look at...but when generating displacements at a power of 4 a whole lot of text goes into those boxes (esp the top one) so i made it small so you could see more, even though it still gets cut off...i might make the text larger and add scrollbars eventually...

yep, if you want to do a whole lot of complex calculations ;)
it took me a while to understand the displacement format in the VMF files, and I wouldn't be able to generate anything without my knowledge of conics and trigonometry :)

new version, which finishes everything in the two parts i have done, but i need ideas guys! what else should the program generate?

oh, and a new 'teaser' image or sorts:

ZL: if you got what Habboi posted thats whats it's meant to do

if you want to make a hallway similar to mine you must tilt (either by clicking the disp 3 times or by VM) one edge upward (in the default values) 256 and sideways 256. it defaults to twisting to the center of the displacement, if you want that hallway effect you must move it to make the edge of a wall. (and obviously make 4 for walls and rotate as needed)

dont forget to try out curves and the curved ramps as well!

and i need ideas on what else to add in ;)

oh and about making your own displacements instead of letting the program doing it for you, thats all fine for natural stuff, but try making this kind of stuff using hammer...its impossible

As some of you may know, I am making a Displacement Generator, and I would like you to test it!

I am needing to know if it crashes, or doesn't work the way it is supposed to.

I am also needing suggestions on what else I should add in for it to generate.

any feedback is appreciated.

download link: http://users.bigpond.net.au/penguinboy/Twister/Twister.html

note: please don't remove the text files from the program's directory, they are needed for VMF generation, and the program will crash if you do. This will be fixed in a later build.

for a sample of what the program can do, click the link below.
