  1. Hello! I'm working on a fog heavy map and have encountered a problem regarding visportals. If I look straight into the visportal and back away, as the fog gets thicker the portal closes as the fog engulfs it, ie the fog gets so dense that the engine deems it to thick to be seen through. This sounds like a good thing, but the thing is, even if the fog is so dense, some stuff will still be visible through the portal, like light cones and hazy effects. But the engine lets the fog thickness take precedense and closes the portal anyway and this abrupt closure of the portal makes a jarring cut between a dark area and pop up of haze and stuff. I have tried func_portal on the visportal to try to override the standard range but it doesn't work. Any idea folks?
  2. Same here. I love that at least somebody else has my setup, with the 3D-view in the left corner and then all angles in the other three Sometimes I get the feeling that folks only work in one orto-view and use commands to turn it around...
  3. 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 :)

      Yes please, I remember playing your maps and they were amazing.

  4. It was some years since I finished that mission, but if I recommend correctly I created three different starting locations and used the "diff_N_nospawn 1" spawnarg on each to delete the ones not appropriate for that particular difficulty.
  5. Haha, I thought it would be more interresting with an intro with the little rascal. A mission in the vein of Little Big World perhaps
  6. Oohhh, Bohr with another interresting contest suggestion I just wanted to pop by and see how the mod is going. And I saw that the devteam with that crazy dude Stgatilov has sent out 2.11 for beta! My belly rumbles and my legs itch for map building! It seems now that one have to relearn lots of stuff because now you can do much more advanced stuff than I learned in the beginnig. Volumetric lights and crisp textures and much more advanced stuff than my fragile brain can comprehend. I'm intrigued to start mapping again but most free time has been spent painting miniatures and with a 6 month old taffer in the house and lots of RL-issues (searching for a new house mostly) that's all I can do for my own time at the moment.
  7. Some have had problems with the evidence (some bug), but you need: Regarding the tools:
  8. Sorry for late reply. To boggled up in toddler duty at the moment... Glad you liked the mission! Yes, I believe the years of optimising the engine (as well as better hardware) has made it more feasible to add crowds in this game. I don't play much missions myself so I don't know, perhaps I'm one of the first to try to implement it. Regarding the discovering of corpses
  9. Glad you liked it! I tried to create a city with lots of different styles as you progress through the level, from slums to posh mansions.
  10. That accent is from a very talented actor. Had to fly him in, via helicopter, from some far away country. He wasn't cheap to hire. And he requested a Tobleronebar as payment.
  11. Glad you liked it and also glad you could enjoy it without annoying bugs it seems
  12. Glad you like it! I don't think I ever changed the fog from the first beta though The hanged man is an unique entity def thing. I downloaded the necessary files from the forums. Sotha was (at least) one of the creators. Bottom line, it's not an ordinary rag doll with a rope attached. I don't know how to create a gibbet though... Here is the package. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwR0ORZU5sraX3k2QWhZZEt2VUU/edit?usp=sharing
  13. Glad you like the mission! Damn, I thought I hade managed to rid those sticky places. Well, well, when you're building irregular stuff one's bound to get stuck, even though I added collision meshes to try to remedy that. I found another sticky place on a roof when I streamed the mission the other day btw... Just have to noclip out of it...
  14. Glad you like it! The script resets a lot of stuff in the city (respawning downed guards and adding extra guards if you've downed a lot, depending on difficulty). The trigger box that fires the script is located by those stairs in the service tunnels/sewer area. Regarding the home door Regarding the horror elements
  15. That bug seem to come from the script that repopulate the city after returning from the Roughboys hideout. It's called restore_city and checks for how manu guards and which guards/civilians have been downed It's one of the longest script in the mission.
  16. I don't get this? I have not added any save restrictions?
  17. How nice then the player is given water arrows then Or do you mean the electrical light outside the small stairs to the church main entrance? That small passage before the little alcove where the acolyte emerges?
  18. I have done nothing to the acuity of the AI. They should be vanilla as far as I'm concerned. Personally I play on Vision Forgiving Hearing Challenging
  19. Maybe the foglight has something to do with it... Will check tomorrow if I get the time...
  20. I just streamed when completing the mission on Calm settings. The VOD is her for anyone to see, with my disgusting broken english https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1316478737
  21. Glad you liked it. As I said before, I have no idea why it doesn't tick off. I plan to record a video of me playing the mission, perhaps even stream so I can show. With so many people having issues and me cannot replicate them, I almost feel like a fraud...
  22. Thanks for playing! Yes, some areas are a bit barren, like somebody mentioned the starting section was a bit devoid of loot. Regarding the frobable boxes: Regarding the notes
