      Pardon me, what is a "city hub"?

      pusianka: the city segments from Thief: Deadly Shadows. They are hubs instead of regular missions because you revisit them again and again.

      I beta tested both of those maps :-)

  2. What does CSG merge do? I assumed it did the oppisite of CSG subtract and merge selected brushes. That doesn't seem to be the case.

      OK . Thanks for clearing that up.

      sometimes it is hard to tell if concave, so here is the test: if you can draw a line from any point to any point, and intersect the edges of the prospective merged brush more than twice, it is convex. concave can only intersect 2 edges. Example: try this principle on pac-man. easily possible to intersect 4 edges.

      He knopws now as I showed how to do it when he was around my place on Saturday.

      Aww man! I got that yesterday. Came home from my sports, decided to do 30min of work on my WIP. Accidentally tripled that. Got only 6 hrs of sleep.

      yap :-) got that few hrs sleep this night as well. just wanted to adjust a few spline nurbs for some minutes and ended setting up a complete additional curve hours later ,-)

      wanted to add another ai... ended up fleshing out a whole building almost, getting started on another, the second ai ended up being an afterthought.

  4. What's considered as a healthy FPS? I'm on 60 atm. At what point should I start getting concerned?

      I have low standards. 15 is pretty fine.

      Hrm, I had Shogun 2 open while testing my map, and the fps was no different. Wonder how many different games I'll need open before I notice anything.

      I seem to be getting around 30 FPS for the part of my map that has the most models and entities in it. Hopefully that's as low as it will drop.

  5. I look upon the AI with resentment as I see them sit around the fire place I just built in DR as I slowly freeze to death here in the UK

  6. Is a 24 page readable a bit too long?

      Sir Taffsalot

      Thanks for the offer but I'm a bit confused. Why would there be pictures in someones journal? While it would be a very nice touch wouldn't that be somewhat emmersion breaking?

    3. GameDevGoro

      GameDevGoro

      Well, like others have already pointed out. Keep the entire 24 pages, as long as you do not force the player to read it. If it's just for flavor, like TES game readables. It's all gravy, man. :)

    4. nbohr1more

      nbohr1more

      It's your call but the pictures would represent the player's imagination as they read the journal. So it would be a 3rd person experience of sorts... But so are expository cut scenes...

  7. Turnip Suprise! The suprise being there's nothing in it but turnips

      Uh oh, looks like things took a turn(ip) for the better. Rutabaga casserole is delicious.

  8. Is thinking of buying a Les Paul over the weekend

      oooh thats a very nice guitar, but is it a replica or old skewl version..?

    2. nbohr1more

      nbohr1more

      As good a time as any to buy one with the poor economy driving down prices. Get a volume pedal and compressor pedal (watch that feedback)...

  9. Is going to try and iron man RTTC V2

      I still hope we had a save counter in the mission ending statistics to increase Iron Man bragging value. =)

      It will be interesting to see how much harder it is with new tougher AI!
