random trees

[.::nØ燎ƒµEL::.]

the day after i was making a map, just a test, so i put a lot of "jungle tree 1, random" and "jungle tree 2, random" in it, but when i was testing the map in single player, it sowed no trees at all; the z coordinates are right, so it's not the point, but i really dont know why, is maybe the terrain i used (gs1) wich has some particular restrictions??

choosing random trees doesn't work sorry

All random means is it's a random sized tree, rather than you choosing a size

As steve just said random trees doesnt work. neither does any other item with random in the name.

try using the random object generator by othello found at the barracks, or the random tree generator found here at nova hq.

Like I said, random is the variable size, not a tree generator for making a forrest. If you notice that there is a small medium and large tree. Rather than pick one, choose random and you'll get one of the three options.

I never liked the random object program or the tree generator. I just make a pattern of trees I like, then copy and paste. Easy to do, and no outside programs needed

random doesn't work dude :/
it puts a marker down but nothing shows in game.

You must've just gotten a bad MED...I used to use it all the time and it worked perfectly. I found that it favored the small ones the most

[Steve]

you not use the MED that comes on the CD with LW?

thats one of the infamous issues of the LW MED :/

[Dr. Bullet]

I don't remember which one I used to tell you the truth. Only thing for certain is I did use the random thing, and it did work. Maybe I just got the demon posessed MED...I tend to have that luck with software

[Lakie]

didnt teranova fix that in one of their packs?

[Steve]

iirc one med did fix the issue

[Dr. Bullet]

I think I got mine at the barracks...or maybe at the Black Sheep Squad. I don't remember

[Xx_jet_xX]

the 192b med doesnt work either, it just adds a marker. and it doesnt matter what med you use, its the game itself thats supposed to add the tree. if you did get a med that added a random tree, then the med was modified to do so.

hum, i dont remember where did i get my MED, it's dflwmedc, anyway, not the one that comes with the game...
you're right jet, the med just puts down a marker to tell the game to put there a random tree of a type you choose, in fact i remember that i have made a map with randtrees, when i was using another med..

ah, one more thing......what do you mean, steve, with "iirc" ????

[Steve]

if i recall/remember correctly

[Dr. Bullet]

Well guys, I wish I could help. I know I did it because I remember being disappointed in the use of it due to its aversion to not being as random as I'd like...I would send you my MED, but I've formatted at least 10 times and switched computers since then
