So, what are you working on right now?

[Moonbo]

Hey Capela,

 

It's the "textures/darkmod/stone/brick/rough_natural_mixed" texture :-). It's one of those interesting textures that looks pretty different in practice than it does as a thumbnail in the media browser, I would never have thought about using if I hadn't seen it on a prefab building.

I had DR open...

 

doh, ninja'ed

Speaking of prefabs, i'm just now going through and looking at all the prefabs we have. We can always use more, but there's a pretty good mix of a lot of stuff.

 

@ authors... You can save quite a bit of time picking a couple things here and there from the prefabs.

Contest FM. WIP. Still a lot to do.

I wish I could map in light speed.

[Baddcog]

Looks pretty cool

[Obsttorte]

Thanks, as said this is still early WIP. (And I have choosen the parts of the map that look best )

[RPGista]

Looks good, and you seem to map quite fast!

 

I would consider using a blue tone on the ambient light for outside locations. I find black to look a bit dry unless its a smaller interior.

 

Edit: I meant to say a blue tone on "all" outside locations, some are already bluer than others, and those look a lot nicer to me.

Nice work Storte, just make sure to get some beta testing in :-)

[Obsttorte]

@RPGista: It is blue. But I guess depending on other light sources and the textures used in some location this is not good to see.

@Bikerdude: I don't know what a 'Storte' is (or if I get ever used to the name rape). Anyways, I always betatested my FM's. And if this particular one is ready, you are invited to test this one.

[Baal]

@Bikerdude: Call him "Fruitcake".

[Obsttorte]

Thanks.

[Baal]

You chose the name.

Be glad that you aren't Grayman. I can't tell you how many times he has been referred to with incorrect vowels or missing consonants... "Fruitcake" would be an improvement

in some of those spelling variants

[Baddcog]

then there's noobermoar... can user names get any more complicated

 

(mine is always missing at least one consonant too )

[Baal]

I don't have such problems, although I was called "Ball" once.

[Obsttorte]

I guess he didn't knew the band. You have to be permissive with Biker, he sometimes needs a while.

I always wondered if the name has something to do with Niels Bohr.

Love the unique and unsual usage of my floortiles on the ceiling

Yes.

[Sotha]

Mmmm... I can't wait to get to play the contest entries.

Cool, got a testing thread setup or doing it through PMs..?

[Obsttorte]

You have to be patient, as it will last at least two months. But then I guess I just pm you.

Well, it's an unusual contest.

 

Actually I can't remember why I have choosen to place them there. Maybe I was drunk.

 

EDIT: I hope you didn't mind me to correct the quote.

Another teaser:

 

The least optimized area in the map, I have a couple more portals i can place but it is huge wide open. Still I have 5 guards there chasing me around and fps isn't dropping below 50 (on the pc anyway, my laptop is a bit laggy in most 3d games). (not a lot of details but I think it'll be alright - in this case I'm happy with having a very large area as a trade off for small details). Seems like the 1.08 update really did boost performance quite a bit.

 

if performance seems bad for some systems i might just make easy difficulty performance mode and have a lot of func_statics and models that won't be present.

 

Most of the base terrain is in, have a couple shortcuts and dead end city gates to put in. And the main location, so that'll take a week or so probably. Then it's just improving/aligning textures, adding details, sounds, patrols, objectives, read ables...hmmm, starting to sound like a long way to go

[Bikerdude]

very nice BC.
