GENERAL QUESTIONS:
Who made the cheating report system?
Sliphead took part in the PHP\MySQL part, and tres in the DSS2 part. Thanks to Sliphead, as he spent time in it.
Will the NFBSP Client and DSS2 used in NFBL?
Well I think yes, and I hope it too, it was part of my aim with these programs. We must wait till NFBL admins check the programs and evaluate them .
Do you speak dutch? (It's one of the most asked to me)
No, I only speak English and Spanish.
MAPPING QUESTIONS:
What is BSP?
.BSP (Binary Space Partition) is a map file extension used in games such as the Doom, Quake, Half-Life series, James Bond; Nightfire and other games. .BSP files use binary space partitioning to generate levels that can be rendered quickly while minimizing the amount of polygons that need to be redrawn every time the screen refreshes. One of the biggest problems with the .BSP file format is that large open areas don't work well due to the nature of the partitioning algorithm used.
Will you teach me how to make a map?
No. You have to find your methods, that's the best way to learn how to make new maps. I have already spent time to create the Basic Tutorial at the WIKI, so you shall have a look to it. If you are planning to add me at msn for this reason, I'll block and delete you.
Will you do a map for me?
No. Same reasons as last question.
Will you do a map for me, even if I pay you some money?
NO!!!!
Then, how can I learn some mapping lessons?
Well, you have many ways to do it, I did a basic tutorial that is inside the wiki, quite useful and its more reference-like. If you have any problem, you can go to the forum and post it, or go to the wiki and write it in the Dynamic F.A.Q. Anyways, Hammer has lots of tutorials (remember that its hammer 3.4/3.5 and not 4.0 for Half Life 2) in english and in so much more languages, just type in google "Hammer Tutorial" and there'll appear a big list. Gearcraft is really similar to Hammer but it has its own functions for Nightfire only. I explain some in Wiki at the entities reference or other sections, as I replied so many questions about it in the forum.
I have a problem or question about mapping, how can I fix it?
If it is a compiler error you should visit this link, if it is related to other issues, you can post your problem or question in the forum. but remember that before creating a topic, you have to check if it already exists. Duplicated topics will be deleted and their creators warned.
What program do you guys use?
To Design the Maps we use the Nightfire Editor suite (Gearcraft).
Where can I download the Map Editor?
Just go to the downloads page, it has information and links to download the editor suite. You will be able to create new maps and compile them.
Where do I download new maps?
The maps will be up for download on this Site, JBNF, OO9 Nightfire and more author's websites.
How where you able to get the compiling tools?
Such information is classified - sorry.
