really frustrated with doors
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 15:02
Ok, so I have been asking about centered doors for a while now, here and there.
I have been trying to do it myself for a while now and have absolutely no idea how.
And now in 0.4.15 the code has changed even more to the point I can't make any sense of it at all.
I try changing selection boxes, collision boxes, etc.... and absolutely nothing changes with the doors position.
It's reaaaaaallly frustrating me at this point.
Is it really that much of a huge deal or a pain in the ass to ask for anyone who knows what all this stuff means to make a 2 second change for someone who knows how.. to produce door which are centered and function the same way gates do?
I understand people like/want others to figure stuff out for themselves but, when code is changed over and over to become more and more complex to someone who has no idea in the first place... it's frustrating.
When I first started using MT I was messing around with the doors mod and could somewhat start to figure out some aspects of what does what as far as positioning and stopped at one point figuring I'd try it again later but now the code has changed once or twice since and now I can't figure out any of it...
So I am asking... please.... for someone to at the very least tell me which lines of the code I need to change so I can try yet again?
I honestly do not understand why, when I changes certain positioning numbers now... it seems to have zero effect on the doors? When originally it would... how is that even possible, it's as if none of the positioning code actually does anything because when changed, they do nothing?
And before anyone asks... yes... I am in the right folder to make changes and yes, I open the folder with root privs...
I hope I'm not sounding rude or demanding in this post... I am just truly over frustrated with this at this point... it really should not be this difficult for someone even as completely novice as I am to attempt to make changes... it wasn't this difficult before all these changes.
