This is impressive, Sculp. Really nice work.

Thanks Chacal - now all I need is some kind of - erm - distro tool

For some reason I am unable to access the Hood. I have reaccomplished the mod 4 times and each time ended up with a stack dump,
when I attempted to link to the hood. Here are the last two: The 1st from the spyroom - the 2nd using /hood from Relto...

EDIT1: this mod was accomplish on a clean POTS install not a CC install
EDIT2: though how the mod can cause this error is beyond me (look at the location of the error)

Just tested it. Really nice. You could build a whole house in this part of Bevin !

If I may, there might be a few things to fix:
- the walls physics are quite weird. I guess you used Blender for this, and due to PyPRP default friction and elasticity, it creates strange effects. You should try to see here: http://forum.guildofwriters.com/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=4516&p=45269&#p45269
- the 3rd person camera is blocked by the collider on the window. Could you replace it with a non-camera collide ?

@Wamduskasapa: I didn't have any bug with this, but I'm using PrpExplorer. Maybe you should try with it. Also, I was using only the Part two of the tutorial.

OK I have found the problem. The modification to establish the Secret Room Functions Fine in Bevin and Seret only. But my install will not allow the changes to the textures..

If I do not change the textures this Secret Room Modification works great in both Bevin and Seret. BUT The second I change just one MipMap file the Game chokes...

EDIT1 @Sirius I run a Vista OS - It will not allow PRP Explorer...
EDIT2The DDS MipMap's that cause the system to dump are the ---------_LIGHTMAPGEN_mip_DX files. That was why the stack dump was different depending on where I was Linking In at...
EDIT3 Would it be possible to just reuse the MipMaps that already exist, instead of importing the new ones???

I have a big problem and I do not find my mistake. I followed Sculp's instructions step by step but when I test, my third linking book in the secret room has disappeared. Thinking I forgot something, I started it again several times with the same result. When I am checking the scene objects, the three objects I have add (and save) are no more in the list. Yes, I saved Plasma too. Any idea ? I am tired of constantly start again...

Part One: Meeting Room

If you already tried the spyroom mod using SpyroomMod_rev02 you need to add the linking book with this file:

Show Spoiler

SpyroomModBookAddition_v1.zip

1. Assuming the original mod worked for you you may want to back up some files:

spyroom_District_spyroom.prp
spyroom_District_Textures.prp
spyroom.sum

2. Open PlasmaShop, navigate to spyroom Age, click on 'spyroom_District_spyroom.prp' and open PrpShop. Once there open 'spyroom'.

3. The first thing that must be done is to delete three files. Find the folder called 'Drawable Spans'.
Right click on

'spyroom_District_spyroom_00000000_0Spans'
'spyroom_District_spyroom_00000000_0Spans0'
'spyroom_District_spyroom_20000000_0BlendSpans0'

and choose Delete

4. Right click on spyroom and choose Import.. navigate to the folder containing the unzipped files. Open the folder called Files and import the contents.

5. Three objects need to be added to the Scene Node:

RgnScrtRmBook
ScrtRmLinkBook
ScrtRmLinkImg

6. One object needs to be imported into 'Textures'. Right click and choose Import.. Navigate to the folder called Mipmap and import the file it contains.
From the main file menu choose Save.

7. Delete or update the .sum file in PlasmaShop

8. Copy the 'spyroom.pak' file from the unzipped 'Python' folder to your Uru install's 'Python' folder

You can now test the link. As you haven't yet altered the Hood files the link will take you to the default Link In point

There is no third linking book in the spy room. The new linking book to the secret room is in the DRC meeting room.
I did experience similar problems though, and solved them by restoring a backup of spyroom, then downloading and applying the new spyroom mod v3. Worked perfectly.

Just tested it. Really nice. You could build a whole house in this part of Bevin !

This was my thought exactly as I tried it. There is a door leading right to that area, it would be trivial to add a hallway, some steps, etc.

This situation reminds me of something. Take a look at this old thread where I present models for bringing new content to a shard. Look at model #3, the contest model.

If a shard owner accepted to try this kind of changes, such a contest would be easy now.

Thanks Chacal - now all I need is some kind of - erm - distro tool

Yeah, well look at this.

There is no third linking book in the spy room. The new linking book to the secret room is in the DRC meeting room.

There are three Linking Books in the SpyRoom:
1: Phil's Relto
2: Baron's Office on Teledahn
3: The Takotah Meeting Room

Oh, right. I thought he was mentioning the new book to the secret room.

[Wamduskasapa]

No Problem LOL
I am still trying to solve my headache with the textures in the Secret Room. I am thinking about Laptops and Frisbees.....
