What you could do with FXCameraMap

[TStarGermany]

Just make a snapshot of the whole track and replace it with a nice rainbow PNG

And this is just 1 camera map .. you could photograph it from 4 sides and insert the rainbow ... TM would then automatically mix rainbow textures depending on your viewing angle

Would be glad if you could explain how the FXCamermap is supposed to work. I really have no idea^^
And I mean for real usage not jokes

I can tell you how it's SUPPOSED to work..

1. You insert a "FXCameraMap" track.
2. You fly to the location where the part is that you want to put your painting/image in
3. You press the SAVE SNAPSHOT button.
4. You open your favorite graphics program, find the snapshot in [PersonalFiles]/Media/Images/Cameramaps/ and edit it in the following way:
- Create a new object with your painting, place it in the screen as it should appear ingame.
- Delete the background, so that only your painting stays
- Save it as PNG with transparency.
5. Go back into the game and press (RE)LOAD SNAPSHOT.
Now the painting should appear at the desired location.

Bugs:
- Locators cannot be used for the cameramaps at the moment, so the whole thing is not useable for multiplayer/online.
- Depending on where you approach that spot, texture flickering occurs. Makes the thing look amateurish.

Is CameraMap still here in TM² Release version?
(can't check because my laptop is rendering for the kilo project atm ^_^)

Yes, unfortunately, it is of no use, because of the bugs I listed... what a pity, it was a VERY GOOD idea to come up with that feature.

Ah okay, too bad :/

Thanks for the explanation. I still couldn`t use it even if it worked because of the absence of any graphical skills and programms(except paint ). But would surely be a great tool for story tracks and such.
