Only a cosmetic problem.

Your blender tutorials here are excellent. WTF Do they even sticky things anymore?

[Demian]

This isn't a consistent tutorial, just a bunch of useful tips.

I should probably ask zorro limit when I get the chance about UV mapping.

How do I make projectiles

[The Corporation]

How do I make projectiles

Open blender.

Make projectile, and make sure it's the appropriate size for blockland, then press 1 on the numpad and make sure the back of the projectile is facing you.
if not, rotate the model in EDIT mode, not in OBJECT mode.

Then simply export and make materials for model.

I think he's using vertex paint.

But vertex painting is for bones ):

What is the difference between DTS Exporter and Mirror for DTS Exporter. I kinda need to know because I've been having a lot of trouble finding where to download it. Here are some links that I can't connect to for some odd reason:

http://jsgreenawalt.com/Downloads/Blender/DTloveporter/UnofficialBuilds/BlenderDTloveporter_097beta3.zip

http://projects.blender.org/frs/download.php/335/DTloveporter_092.zip

All I'm trying to do is find somehwere where I can download the DTS Exporter. If the Mirror for DTS Exporter will do what I need I am ok.

jsgreenawalt went down, and the second link, right click and  hit "save link as"

[Barnabas]

The second link is an old as dirt version of the dts exporter and it's not even working.

Here's the latest available one.

Ok, now I have another nooby question. I modeled a vehicle, and now I think I need to do something for the wheels and the place where the player sits. I've had trouble finding information on this for blender. It would be super helpful if someone could help me. I am using version 2.49 for this, but on my next project I'll probably use a newer version.
