What are you working on?
Re: What are you working on?
sock! your mapping skills are awesome! <3 btw baker has been working on something that i think would be pretty awesome in your mod. =)
Re: What are you working on?
Yep, I pretty much agree with you. It's only brick as the source (real world) place it's loosely based upon used them. I've spent awhile trying other textures but haven't quite found a better replacement. It'll do until I do!ceriux wrote:i really like this screen
although instead of brick i think a darker concrete there would look better.
EDIT: took your advice and used the darker concrete that's on top of the square pillars and sides. Looks much better, ta.

I think the camera effect at the end of the video would look better if you make the camera stop rotating when it touches the ceiling.leileilol wrote:die
Re: What are you working on?
^^ thats what I thought immediately. I saw the effect first in monaco I think.Those walls might be meant as a trick to simulate line of sight shadows.
Looks great in that mod, please keep it!
Re: What are you working on?
@ceriux, really? what has baker been up to lately? he really needs to post something in this thread!
Another brushwork offcut, a door to nowhere!

Re: What are you working on?
sock i love your brushwork on all the castle like structures you do. baker is working on a system that allows you to travel back and forth between map while saving data on entities. so when you go back its like you have already been there. someone called it a hub system.

Re: What are you working on?
That looks lovely. What are you doing for the lighting? Do you just add a bunch of point lights?
Re: What are you working on?
That's awesome sock. Did you use a terrain generator for the 'cliff'/rockface or did you do it 'by hand'?

What fog values are you using, ajay ? I'd suggest to experiment something like '0.15 0.15 0.15' (a very dark gray but not completely black) to avoid excessive brightness.ajay wrote:The light levels I’m not so pleased with; it’s meant to be a particularly dark place, but as I’ve mentioned before fog tends to brighten the overall map brightness, so I’m trying to keep the street lights low, however make them too dull and they fail to stand out in the way they should – too bright and the spooky/darkness is ruined. I think I may have to have some of the lights not working and the working ones brighter. W.I.P.
I know FrikaC made a cgi-bin version of the quakec interpreter once and wrote part of his website in QuakeC (LordHavoc)
Re: What are you working on?
@ceriux, that is an interesting idea, I hope Baker finds the time to implement it. I always liked the hub system of early games like Hexen and HL and with some nice custom maps it could really be fun to play with.
@jitspoe, I am using regular lights with high diffuse values. I also use a slight fog (matched to the sky) to create a nice ambient glow at distance.
@ajay, I built the cliffs by hand, very quick and easy to create. I wrote various tutorials on how it works. I have plenty of example maps on my site you can download to see how it is done. (source files included)

Re: What are you working on?
Fte supports hub maps.
I was using them for my defunct quakelands mod.

Re: What are you working on?
Yeah and that would turn ITS into something horribly engine dependent... there's a way for hub-ish behavior by clever FRIK_FILE though, and plenty of engines support that extension.
i should not be here
Re: What are you working on?
you can get hub-ish behaviour via using serverflags too, which might make more sense than all the entities spontaneously freezing... but yeah, frik_file does at least give full control over stuff like that, even if its a lot of work.
Re: What are you working on?
@R00k, I like the idea of the zombies from bodies but why is the gun glowing when they hit you? Do you have an objective planned for the zombies? I really hope you create unique levels for your mod. What do you plan to do with the non-humanoid monster types?
