Baddcog Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 It's a good point on the screen, but screens also showcase those issues. Seeing how they are static and they give you time to really examine them. In game is deffinately different. A lot of times I play a mission and feel very immersed, then look at screens and think 'not as pretty as I thought'. Part of that whole moving, seeing different angles...

Fidcal Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I've no idea what this is about or what the yellow line is. To ask the question again, are we talking about the artistic merits of the screenshot or the map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tels Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I've no idea what this is about or what the yellow line is. To ask the question again, are we talking about the artistic merits of the screenshot or the map? More like "the artistic merits of the *views* in the map", which are (or not) seen by the player. An FM can be seen as an interactive movie, or an interactive piece of art. Or just something to escape reality and have fun.

Springheel Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 In game is deffinately different. A lot of times I play a mission and feel very immersed, then look at screens and think 'not as pretty as I thought'. Part of that whole moving, seeing different angles... Absolutely. There's far too great a tendency to focus on screenshots, when they're only giving you 80% of how it actually looks in game (if that). That's why nitpicking little details in screenshots (either maps or models) is generally not useful.

killhour Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) No, I'm not dead. Progress has been slow partially due to real life and partially to my biggest problem - I keep adding stuff. Here's the view from the outside wall - the one that stops the player from leaving the map and gives a plausible reason why you can't. Now that it's done, I keep thinking "It would be so awesome if you could go up there." Stupid brain.

Bikerdude Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Nice light house, looks the same as the one I made in my lemony map.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprilsister Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 killhour Ooooh, very cool looking! What say you get this mission done, completed, out-the-door and instilling-you-with-a-fine-sense-completion-done-doing-mission-mission-accomplished-accomplishment... and then you can always make your next mission "awesome if you could go up there" chapter?

killhour Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Nice light house, looks the same as the one I made in my lemony map.. Coincidental, I can assure you. Is that one of the maps on the front page? I haven't been keeping up with the missions people have put out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aprilsister Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Doing a line? Snort! Surely you mean taking a massive hit. ...

Tels Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Haven't post a screen long time, so here is one. Carpet looks a bit thick, but otherwise mighty fine scene!

Sotha Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 And this... Looks nice! Once you get some paintings and wall-decor it's gonna be really nice.It reminds me of Knightons Manor; same lots of same textures and similar color interior. Quote Clipper-The mapper's best friend.

Yes, I believe almost every original texture has been used in all the FM's, so I feel I must try to create some unique textures for my future maps...There are a few new textures in this FM though Edited February 4, 2011 by Fieldmedic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aprilsister Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Very very nice FieldMedic! Thanks for the shots and the ETA. I know you want to keep this thing under wraps, and that's great, IMNHO, as far as plot and pix go... but do, please, keep us updated on the progress.

DeTeEff Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Possibly bad news: For my FM to be the way it's intended, I'm gonna need "High/Low security areas". In short, the guards don't bother me as longas I'm in a low security area, but if they see me in a high security area OR see me lockpicking, they'll get pissed. According to Greebo, this requires some good coding that isn't done in the blink of an eye. I've got a way around this, but it won't be as cool as the above...but as there is more to build on the map, I'll just hope that the implementation is inserted in time for the FM to be released Does somebody have any idea for pulling this of with scripting?
