My first attempt at the Source Engine. Plays well with 5+ players, however 8+ it starts to get phenomenal gameplay. Will release sooner or later. Havn't decided whether or not I want to submit for the Valve competition. Everything is done but small tweaks and maybe player start and weapon tweaks.
While i firmly believe that an author should do everything within their power to make the best map possible, i do not believe that they should replace their card with low end, or older type just to work out every possible bug.
i do however believe that if an author recieves a report of a bug "prior" to release, everything humanly possible should be done to remedy it.
on a personal level, anyone with an older card should consider themselves lucky for each map they can play, and just ignore the ones they cannot without causing the author any undo grief.
I think its meant to be inside / between two combine road blocks, hence
the dark metal. Yak mentioned he had some cubemap issues in the map
though, and I think its one of the trouble places, hence why its sooooo
shiny.
About the only thing i ever notice in a map is, texture choices.
when i had my old machine, i never noticed this, and i wonder if the authors run their machines on all resolutions and all settings, from low to high.
my new machine pretty much will run the game full out, and in some maps i notice textures that are so out of place, i wonder if anyone else sees it. could it be the texture, my machine, or the authors failure to notice cause his machine was smaller than mine?
anywho's, i have seen no fog glitches in this map, so far.
I made the map in 1 week and fine tuned it for another 2 weeks as soon
as i got the game. I was learning the engine. So if there is problem
with the fog, you're right. I dont know how to use it properly. Its a
learning process and I think I did pretty well given the time I had to
do it. I've never been able to duplicate the effect so I think its
people's rigs and their drivers.
i read that thread twice, i am not real clear on where the quote came from. perhaps its my ignorance of the ways of that forum. all it sounded to me like was, a driver error and someone wanted to blame the map, instead of themselves.
Hey Ferret, you should go defend yourself in this Steam Forums thread, because the "Super Moderator - Crash" says that people showing images of white and yellow distortion is saying "Apparently whoever made the map does not know how to use the Fog right..."
I'm suggesting that because this guy is in charge of the entire forums, not just some numnuts 12 year old noob posting.
