? quoting BioPulse
that chair in the 3rd pic, maybe try to make it float in some way, don't know if this would be possible but it would look cool ( wood floats... )

A friend of mine took chunks of wood and added a func_rotation to them. He set it to rotate really slow to give the illusion of pieces trapped in a slow current. Perhaps this could be used effectively.




There is no history until something happens, then there is.

You could do several things! You could even have a trigger change the debris parent from a rotating object to a linear moving object.

Or, You could make it that one entity that moves and rotates on it's own ... forget the name.

But all these effects could be used to create the illusion of being underwater. I'm sure there's a way to make these all effected by player movement too.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

This map isnt done yet. <br><a href="http://img120.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dmsaturated00007cy.jpg" target="_blank">http://img120.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dmsaturated00007cy.jpg</a> <br>Key word: optimization!!! (I was getting 2-30 frames in that shot, when I normally get 120 frames on a well optimized area) The dynamic light reading is beyond what it should be. Im guessing that in those point_spotlights you didn't uncheck the &quot;no dynamic light&quot; in the flags. Thats just the performance problems, the map itself is bland, un-exciting. Spice it up!! Tell you what. I wnt rate it, but I will when you redo this map. Until then i have to give it a 1/10

I'll check the dynamic light settings, as I suspect that's the problem. I did a lot of nodraw-ing on the various surfaces you can't see, so it could be worse! As for the blandness of the map, I can't do a lot until a few months time when I'm not working my backside off at school. <br> <br>I think 1/10 is a bit harsh though - it's not THAT bad!

The performance was what really put me off, agreeibly 1/10 is really bad. But I rest my decision! Get those performance things worked out, and spice up everything. Maybe add some other colors than grey/blue
