While updating my first FM, I noticed a lot of silly things I did because I was still new to DR. For example, there was a model for a wheel that I wanted the player to be able to turn that had its origin off-center. I didn't know I could just re-export the model inside DR to fix its origin, so instead that wheel triggers a func_mover it's bound to. A silly solution in retrospect, has anyone else made somewhat janky or roundabout solutions to technical challenges in their maps? I'd love to hear about 'em!

Don't feel bad at all about "silly" work-arounds In my current WIP, I have a custom def-attached extinguishable light entity that I can't, for the life of me, get to turn off at map start. My solution: encase the light entity in a water brush, then remove the water brush one second after map start
Works like a charm

Who is actually working on new missions right now? That I, the greatest mapper of all times (and I say this in all modesty, it is innate in me) am working on something epochal is clear to everyone by now. But who else is working on new missions? Please let me, your God, know, because it's so depressingly quiet here and I don't like to post pictures all the time, because even for me it gets a bit too boastful (although justified) with time.

Now that autumn is approaching, and I have a bit more time on my hands, I'm hoping to get back to mine here real soon

Bachelor Mapping Challenge!
The girlfriend will be away to her mum's place for almost a week, which means more mapping time for me! I'm planning a speed build. Hope it will go my way
I'm starting by downloading 2.11. Don't know if I'm going to use any fancy new stuff. Just want to crack those itching map muscles that has gone dry and dead since almost a year's worth of no-mapping

McCain Western Fries taste best when heated in the air fryer at 180 degrees Celsius for 17 minutes.

I absolutely love my air fryer. At first I was pretty skeptical about getting one, but once I started making wings in them, it just stole my heart

My next level is slowly taking shape.

You are a machine!!!

Hey, I saw discussion about the magic dude and how you had to take his magic bracelet before you can hurt him. Well, he was sitting on a chair in the kitchen and I sneaked up to him and knoked him out .. then I took his magic bracelet. I had to hit him twice because first hit he stood up, but the second hit, imedeatly after that, just knockt him out ...
Also I saw that at some areas in the water works the water reflects the skybox: screenshot

Thanks for pointing it out though, I'll take a look at it soon. hopefully it'll be a simple fix

ohhh, I believe there is a visportal right there if I remember correctly. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.... hmmm. Well, I never expected this mission to be bug free, haha. I'll look into it as well as a few other issues and release an updated version soon(ish)

Whoa! I wonder what causes that reflection error. You didn't perchance use "noclip" did you? I know that noclipping actually causes a few errors in this map, but since the player shouldn't noclip, its kind of a moot point. And in regards to the mage, there is a small window where you can get lucky enough to knock him out. The nodraw solid brush that i bound to him (his "protective shield") is not perfect, so I think we can chalk that up to the luck of the draw

Getting back to my lighthouse mission. Wish me luck.
-
Good luck! Honestly, I think it feels pretty good to go back to a project after you've left it alone for a while. You look at it and see how much progress you've already made and get excited about to work on next.

Has anyone else experienced this bug in 2.07, if you press escape or quicksave it mutes any AI who are in the middle of conversation.
-
Yes, and it also happened in 2.06 too. A specific mission that comes to mind is when I was playing grayman's The Warrens

137 bugs fixed. 58 remaining. Only 30% of bugs left until a beta build for Shadows of Northdale Act 2 is ready.
-
That's awesome to hear! Good luck with the rest of the bug squashing. Can't wait to play Act 2!

Congrats!!! Thank you so much for working on this everyone! I can only imagine how tiring it was, but it looks like your hard work really paid off! Can't wait to try it out

Testing my latest ship, when a sailor in pursuit of me stumbles down the gangplank and is knocked out. Bug or feature?
-
A feature if there's a way to give him a peg leg

-
Just for general information... If any mapper would like to use any of my mapping stuff (modules, geometry, etc) please feel free to use them! Just be sure to mention in your mission credits you use stuff made by me. Thanks and be my guest!

Thanks Sotha!

Holy guacamole! I'm at 7,000 brushes! I'm getting close

Thats good, and my entity count is well under 7k for the time being so I should be good there.
