hi , i have some question about
1* Sometimes the textures do not appear correctly using 1.21 the file full.pcx is necessary? it works only for .pcx ?
2* how make a surface and an Object not climbable
3* the lamps are working in editor, lit, but in-game the lamps are turned off as if they were mesh not actor with not sfx
4* how to make a object with no highlight (not frobable)
Thanks

1: NewDark contains the "enhancement Pack" which changes a lot of the default textures. Some are similar, but others are WAY off. "Full.pcx" is now an outdated file. it contained all the colors that the textures were allowed to contain within a given texture family. But with NewDark, any texture can have any colors. Can you provide a screenshot of how exactly your textures "don't look right"?
2: NOT climbable? So, you want to make a ladder, but not let anyone climb it? I don't know this off-hand, someone else can field it.
3: Not sure about this one, either. Is it possible you're using an "Old lamp" that's designed to look darkened/off until it's turned on?
4: Engine Features -> Frob Info. A box with three buttons will come up. The top one will say like, "Script" and the bottom 2 should say "none" (or something). Click the box that says "Script". A list will appear with a bunch of options, and "Script" will have a check-box next to it. De-select the check box by clicking it. Repeat for any other checked-off options. The object will now be unfrobbable.

No it doesn't.

He's of course thinking of Tafferpatcher, which install New Dark, but also gives the option to install the Enhancement Pack.

2) For an object, set the Physics\Model\Mantleable property to false (box not checked). For a terrain texture, set the same property to false, but you'll have to find the texture in the "Textures" section of the Object Hierarchy (sorted by material type, then by family).

Or the faster and less faffing option: add MetaProperty -> FrobInert to the object (which also means you can remove/re-add the FrobInert during gameplay if appropriate for some reason)

Yes, the "invisible ladder" approach will work. You can create a ladder object, set the Renderer\Render Type property to Not Rendered, and adjust its physics model to an appropriate size to cover the wall (change the Physics\Model\Dimensions property, not [just] the object size). For a wood or metal surface, using a ladder or metal_ladder respectively will give the right climbing sounds. For a soft surface, set the Schema\Material Tags property to Material Rope (or Material VineLadder, which is a custom schema available somewhere). For any other surface type, though, you'll either have to (1) add a different material metaproperty (like MatStone) and lose the climbing sounds, (2) use one of the three established types and ignore that the sounds aren't appropriate, or (3) create a custom schema for Event Climbstep on that material type.
