So, is it better for a beginner not to bother with voice acting?

I wouldn't recommend it. If you look at other people's maps with videos, they are likely to be without voiceovers in 90% of cases, or even more. Usually, people make them silent.

So, it's better not to bother with voice acting if you're a beginner?

It all depends on the quality of the voice acting. But without professional equipment, it's unlikely to turn out as expected. As an example, consider the amateur voice acting in the latest Mortal Kombat.

How do I correctly specify the path to a track located in the music/mymap/home in florence folder?

It seems pretty straightforward there... Just take any default track as an example and specify it directly.

And one last question about the blonde. The video still won't save. How is that even possible? I'm already working on the video using a mod, and it keeps sending me somewhere else.

And why do you think it isn't being saved? Most likely, it's just disappearing from the visible resources, but that doesn't mean the script won't be able to call the video. I'm assuming this based on experience...

I'm afraid that when I close and reopen the video, I see the arena layout that I saved yesterday and only the single scene with the wolf. And this is out of 15 scenes that I completely redid.

So... How many scenes and arenas should there be, and where should they be located?

Arena 1, stage 1. Arena name - dirt1.

I don't understand... Could you describe it in more detail? So many scenes have been reworked, featuring these arenas, and so on... And by the way, all the names are in Latin characters, right?

Okay, I've already found another solution. I uninstalled the Russian language pack, and everything started working. It seems the Russian language pack is a real problem...

What is PointLight? What is it for, and how do I set it? I want the dungeons to be dark, but with some dim lighting. Is this the function for that? And how do I create my own map lighting?

What is PointLight? What is it for, and how do you set it up? I want the dungeons to be dark, but with some dim lighting. Is this the function for that?

Yes.

Pos [x,y,z] - relative offset of the light source coordinates relative to the object. Color - color, set by clicking on "...". Radius - radius of the illuminated area.

And how do you create your own map lighting?

Look in the map tree: AmbientLight -> ... In the left window, right-click, New Object. On the right, set the lighting parameters. OK. If you need the lighting to be above ground, put a link to it in the 0th element of GroundAmbientLights, and if it's underground, put it in UndergroundAmbientLights.

How can I determine the coordinates of an object? And if I want to highlight it?

Each object has this property. And in the map's properties tree, it's for something else. Besides, I said it's

relative

, meaning that if you need to highlight the object itself, the xyz values should be 0, 0, 1, respectively.
