Using Springheel's 2.05 Modules [download in OP]

[Springheel]

I think I made the same request for half-walls in the bugtracker issue for module issues

 

Making the textures seamless on half-walls can be tricky depending on what you want to do with them. If you show me an example of what you'd like to accomplish, I can look into it.

Will do.

I made 'half-left' and 'half-right', and use the appropriate one for proper tiling. Since I only need to use one half-wall in any situation, this covers anything I need to do.

 

I.e.,

 

Half-left/full/full

 

Full/full/half-right

What module set are we talking about?

[refl3ks]

Here are just a few of the pictures. This was just a sample mission I made to test out these modules.

Wow, beautiful work!

 

You've done some creative things with them, and I love the atmospheric lighting you've chosen. I assume you've mapped before?

Thank you!

 

I've mapped for CS:Source and CS:GO for around four years (Hammer editor very closely resembles Dark radiant, so it was only a slight learning curve). I jumped on Dark Radiant

around a year ago with many breaks in between.

What module set are we talking about?

 

I've made the half-left and half-right models to match 'exteriors/ext_mansion01/ext_mansion01_wall01.lwo'. I'm using this exterior model for both exterior and interior of a stone mansion, with different skins for inside/outside.

 

 

 

I've also made a single halfwall for 'interior_set01', where I'm using different wallpapers, which appear to tile ok on a 64-unit width.

Wow, beautiful work!

My only feedback/crit is the haze affect around the lights is thats it sticks out like a sore thumb a bit.

 

Would love to run around inside this map, are there plans to make it into a full mission..?

[Melan]

Very nice shots, refl3ks! That's putting those modules to very good use.

@refl3ks: Check out the particle glares in the mission: Thief's Den 2: Chalice of Kings. I took the original

glares that look sorta like what you're using and improved them to be more volumetric and subtle.

[refl3ks]

I appreciate all the feedback!

@bikerdude I'm planning on making it a full mission, Im pacing myself so that I don't burn out too soon. I also hate that haze, @nbohr1more thanks for suggesting a better one!

[Bikerdude]

We actually already have a very good one, but I would interested to see the one nbohr is referring too..

[Goldwell]

Those screenshots looks amazing refl3ks, great use of Springheel's modules there

LOL, you forgot about these already (glares on lights and torches):

Are these in the core mod, if not why not?

[nbohr1more]

I think there was a little debate about whether our core assets should have this type of glare.

This was my demo about why I thought it should be the case.

 

Nobody has commented on the pros and cons of the change in this mission.

 

That said, I suppose I could create alternate entity defs with "torch_with_3D_glare" names or something like that if nobody objects.

[rich_is_bored]

IMO, those lamps don't look bright enough to have coronas that size. The torches look about right though.

The window talk was getting lengthy so I've given it its own thread: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/18908-a-lit-texture-for-a-window/?do=findComment&comment=407113

[refl3ks]

here is the latest shot with the recommended light sprite.

[nbohr1more]

It looked amazing before, this is just icing on the cake.

[Springheel]

Wow, that's some beautiful fog effects on those rooftops!

Thank you, those previous sprites bugged me !

Thanks! I'm trying to use thief 4 as a graphical reference. I love fog because it adds distance, depth and verticality.

Far out that is looking amazing!!

 

I love your use of the fog to detail depth and use of lighting as well.

Thank you. I'm just hoping it will run on majority of computers. I have a 980 ti and I don't have any performance dips just yet.
