Im really having trouble learning the ropes, literally.

Ok, bad joke. But seriously, I cant get ropes to work the way I want them to, they always end up attached to gish. And never where I actually want them to go.

Is there somthing that Im missing?

In the rope editor (F4) you can attach ropes, chains, pistons and bars to objects you created in the object editor (F3). In gisheditor.txt you can find how to create the kind you want.

Wow! This editor is awesome http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>
It's really fun playing with it http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

But what exactly are pistons? I haven't had the time to check those out yet...

My first post BTW http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

If you know what you're doing it should work.

Pistons are extending/contracting springs.
(in reality they're something close to that)

Does anyone know how to connect objects? Like in those levels with a car, and the wheels stay connected to it...

Don't try this at home!

- Add an anchor
- Add a 1x1 block 4 tiles below the anchor
- Connect a push piston from the anchor to the top left anchor of the block
- Connect a pull piston from the anchor to the top right anchor of the block
- Set the mass of the block to 10
- Add an area switch 4 left and 3 down from the block
- Link it from the anchor
- Set the anchor RGB to 100,2,10
- Make the anchor a flickering omni light (because of "NOTE: Anchors with pistons shouldnt be used as lights." in gisheditor.txt)

Don't put the texture files in the gish folder- put the texture FOLDERS in the gish folder. That is, put the folders tile01, tile02, tile03, tile04, tile05, tile06, and tile07 in the C:/program files/gish directory (or wherever you installed it). Also put gished.exe in the C:/program files/gish directory. Then open gished.exe, start your game file, select new level, and press f1 to start the editor. You'll probably want to read the readme file that came in the original zip file to learn how to use it.

Ahh, must have be an isolated bug or somthing, wake up the next morning and ropes work as I'd expect them to :/

Fun ;D

Ah, you're right, thanks http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>

Anyone knows what happens with http://home.filternet.nl/~eo000199/jonathan/gish/deformedblock.png" target="_blank">deformedblock.png?

I use 4 pistons, 2 of which are connected to the left and right pointing up, and the other 2 crossed pointing down. I'm sure my math for R was OK, and GB are exactly the same.

@rammerizkool:
my gish dir on Windows:
Chronic.url
Gish manual.exe
OpenAL32.dll
Patch110.txt
Patch120.txt
README.txt
SDL.DLL
animation/
data/
gish.bmp
gish.cfg
gish.exe
gish.his
gish.pla
gish.rg
gished.exe
gisheditor.txt
level/
music/
replay/
sound/
texture/
tile01/
tile02/
tile03/
tile04/
tile05/
tile06/
tile07/
uninstall.exe
uninstall.ini

So just put everything from the top level of the zip directly in the gish folder.

It looks like the location warp zone rects send you to is hardcoded... why?

Jonathan, for your weird block on pistons, I think you meant an RGB of 2,1,100. If you do that, you get lots of weirdness! One question: are block supposed to be able to stretch? ;)
