Worldcraft

I know some of you here use this program to design maps for HL mods. I personally use it for desiging my house plans for the addition I am doing this spring. I have tried those 3d programs they sell in the store for doing this exact thing but none of them work as great as worldcraft, plus I am use to using this program....Anyway I enlarged my screen to only show the house in 3D textured polys. And I was wondering how I move the file from worldcraft to something like photoshop so I can print it out and take it to Copy World. Worldcraft saves the file in the rmf or .map format, would I be better off using the print screen button? if so thats a problem because the printer is at my parents house. There has got to be a way I can convert this file and use a diff program to bring it up and print it out....or not. Any suggestions?

Or you can just compile it and live in the game forever.

Anyway, print screen is the only way I know of. What type of view do you need? The 2d one?

I want the 3D view, I am also going to draw the floorplan in 3D view with really short wall heights, then Print the screen looking down on it.

This means I have to install worldcraft on my parents cpu so I can use their printer... or bring their printer to my house.... either way = pain in the ass.

Sounds like fun, cept, could I have the map when you are done with it so i can add a few spawn points here and there, so we could destory your house and leave blood on the curtains in tfc?

Except that hitting the print screen button doesn't do anything, nothing happens. Maybe my printscreen button is broke. No matter what is on my screen hitting that button does nothing.

it does do something when you open a program like paint and you click copy.

printscreen button takes a snapshot of your desktop or whatever you are looking at and put's it on the clipboard. it's u[ to you to copy the pic into an appropriate(spell?) program.

check out www.artifice.com the DesignWorkshop modeling/CAD thing, easy(er?) then worldcraft and wayyyy more powerful.. the crippleware version works for saving models up to a few hundred brushes or something, but you can get around that if it gets too big
