So, what are you working on right now?

[GameDevGoro]

My god! That looks insane!

[wrichards]

Xcen, looks very good, the light fixtures for me are too modern, I'd like to see more flames than a lantern type in there, seems older style w modern light, just my initial impression, the archi looks great :-)

[wrichards]

I've been playing all of the fan missions this weekend seeing what people have done, I'm amazed how far everything has come. I watched some old game play from YouTube of the original missions, its crazy how far its come. I got overwealmed a bit and didn't know what to build its like a diabetic in a candy store. So I've been working on doing parts of things, an archway, a hallway, simple outdoor, I'm working now on getting the ground to deform a bit better for more realistic, always was amazed at how perfect the streets were clean strait lines... I want more chaos randomness, thank god this editor seems to handle that. So I'm designing in sections now, I'll cut and paste them together, the hardest part is keeping a "standard" and continuity of style, size. So I base everything off the whore model for size and such :-) anyway built some gloomy stairways and such, I'll get something to show very soon. Its now so unlimited its hard to narrow down a focus :-) is there a Max to the #of items other than frame rate, so now I'm just going for it :-)

richard, here is a wiki article about the various limits. MIght have been hard to find, I now linked "Limits" to it:

 

http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Limits,_Max,_Min,_Stats,_etc

 

Apart from some hard-coded lmits (which we already raised in the past, like the number of entities, or work-around, like with SEED), basically it boils down to what the user machine is capable of.

 

It is outright impossible to build something which runs equally well on all machines, but with various techiques you can achive a middle ground, and with SEED or the new spawargs "min_lod_bias" and "max_lod_bias".

 

I've also added some words about the renderer limit to the above article. Hope this helps.

@ Xcen - Will we be seeing an FM from you any time soon? These screenshots that you keep showing us look very promising.

[demagogue]

@Wrichards, what I recommend from my experience is that you make a contest sized mission to learn the ropes, maybe ~10-15 rooms or so (not always a literal "room" but area around that size where stuff happens, and roads / hallways connecting them). And work out a little story & theme so you have something really concrete to focus on building and not bedazzle yourself.

[wrichards]

Demagouge, that was my weekend, TONS of mickymouse rooms just to get it down... worked with making more natural roads and such patch deformations and such, AI pathing room, im accumulating alota stuff ill use later. so now I have thiese pieces on tap for whatever. I did have a flash this morning about making a "Doom-ablo" level haha. mostly spent alota time playing all the missions avail to see what is/was done, that with the inspirations thread... yea im about ready to make a small adventure. all in all Im amazed how much easier this editor is, its a matter of waking up the dead brain cells thanks again to everyone great community and great advice from very talented people...

Here are some shots from a small but pretty mission that Baal and myself are currently working on, enjoy.

 

 

[nbohr1more]

Nice!

 

I like the patterned brickwork on that wall!

 

[Sotha]

The window with the cityscape view! :wub:

[RPGista]

It is surely nice seeing some new textures for a change, nice work boys.

Thats actually all stock 1.07, it just occurred to Baal to use that not much used mutli-yellow coloured cobblestone texture for the walls :-)

[RPGista]

I was referring to Xcen's shot, mostly. Though I didnt recognize that pattern brick work in the first shot.

EDIT: Realised I should have put this in the Newbie DR Questions thread, so I've deleted this post and copied it over there now. Hope that's OK.

That looks pretty good but why didn't you use a patch cylinder.?

I did try that - couldn't work out how to get the texture on the inside.

 

Just occurred to me I should be posting this in the Newbie DarkRadiant Questions thread. I'll copy it over there now.

Lol select the patch cylinder and invert it, CTRL-I I believe.

I'd better reply to this over at the Newbie thread now I've put it there .

[SiyahParsomen]

beautiful shots!

[Johannes Burock]

Because of such a high amount of good screeners in the last time i also want to put my oar in:

 

this time a bit more civilized architecture (still wip):

[Johannes Burock]

nah....also one not so civilized:

 

[SiyahParsomen]

hmm not bad JB, but still long way to go...*

 

 

 

 

 

 

*(permanent brain damage after looking last shots)

[Baal]

I'm jealous.

[Sir Taffsalot]

When are we going to see an FM from you JB? This is going to blow people away.

let me say it in this way: 1. not so much freetime and 2. the whole project is bigger than you think ...no more comment
