SPLA Map

We're not following the linking plan that was set before anymore. (I dont think). Just link you sections where they best fit.

CrackerJack, just make something and then when your ready, tell us and we'll send ya the map.

ok....be prepared to pass it around again to allow for post connection tweaking....smooth transitions i believe are a must gents..... :wink:

ill set it up with a link after bit here....////runs kid to school...

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

WC personally i think it would be easier to send me the sections completed then base it off of that.. cause i have a layout that does not fit at all with the current layout.. i will be mad that i made something for nothing

is this even possible? really?

yeah, it might not fit this map, but surely if its for nothing, then it would be for nothing whether this map existed or not.

save everything you make to .ol files.. someday your nothing might be something then.

Ok CJ, when I get the map back I'll send it to ya.

Why bother saving a whole map/section as a .ol file, when you could just leave it saved as an RMF or MAP?

lol :smile: I think Orph means to save separate parts (i.e arches, pillar, doorways etc) as .ol files so they are easier to import through the prefab system instead of searching for and loading a separate rmf.

Though I have to say I prefer the separate rmf method myself :wink:

Was the map ever going to arrive in my inbox, or no?

yes yes yes, im almost done.....ill deliver a link to you later....i have an awards banquet to go to tonight... :heee:

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

Actually, it's more like the PitCrew map, second class.

lol, well i guess welcome aboard CJ...gl on ur section, take ur time we still got people who havent started so u got time. if u'd like CJ i can send u the rmf (includes MS/my section) so u can get an idea of how things are going.

doc: dont forget to pm me the link when ur done too, thnx...and make sure u include all resources (wad files, sprites, etc.)

MS: i still havent gotten that factory.wad man...is there any other way besides msn that u can get it too me?

Did you just notice this thread?

Thanks Sinner :smile: Yeah just give me the link for everything And I will have my section done this weekend.

need the fgd....houston i have a problem....can someone shoot me the fgd for this project....? im not sure mine didnt get corruptd somehow.....

as soon as one of you can, i'd appreciate it

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

I thought this map was for HLDM

it is......

doc B

So are you missing the default Half-Life FGD file? If so, you can dowload the latest version from this page.

no i have it, up to date etc....but if THIERS is corrupted, then we have just a wee problem.....not a biggie, but an issue...i need comparison material from one of my predecesssors on this lil' project actually....

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

excuse my ignorance, but how can an fgd be corrupt, and work?

i mean if its functional, it has to be non-corrupt, right?

besides, all it contains is the entities, i fail to see how one can be messed up and functional.. all it would do is create a map with no entities in it..

maybe someone versed can explain please.

As far as I know, the FGD is only used by the editor to specify the entities which can be placed, and what properties can be specified.

what happens when a an rmf is passed between people with differing FGDs if the prior mapper used a property which is unavailble in the next guy's FGD? I've no idea.

Test it. Make an entity, set a property, open the FGD and delete that property, then try to open and compile the map.

okay i did this today here is what i have so far.. It might changed but this is the final version for now. This was a 3 hour project.

No, it just took me a while to come up with such a witty response.

In that case, you might want to consider alternate career paths than "stand-up comedian".

seconded.....if ya dont have anything constructive to say man, how about backin' the f**k off eh?

whispers to doc

"its cass bud"

I love the fact he used the same textures I did, will hook up well to my piece. The big metal door he has could be connected to my big metal door.

Or the fire Door he has could be connected to my fire door.. pretty cool.. And its structure fits mine and Spinner Ds very well.

($)

The sections layout is based off Sinners section connected to Money's and then mine. Also guys please hurry and get sections done so i can go through and make sure its all neat.. If you dont mid i would like to be the one to but everything together...

Cassius im not sure what you mean by second class.. but if it means that some of the people workin on the sections arent top notch then please contribute to the map with your skills and we will see where you stand.. Please do not take this comment offensively it is in no way a flame

i like cass, so i may just see things differently, i never see his comment in a poor light, even if he intends them to be..

i read it as "PitCrew the second time"

or

"PitCrew 2"

or something along those lines.

ask yourself, almost nothing is posted to inform anyone how well the map is progressing, how can anyone comment on it being 2nd class work?

also, i may see it differently cause, my contribution to the pitcrew map of ours is the poorest addition, and always felt my area brought the whole map down a notch.

in a nutshell, do not assume he meant second class members.

caught me at a stressful moment......

coulda worded it differently i spose......

Doc B.....

if i may bw so bold....everybody take a deep breath, chill out...and you will all get your parts in due time....there aint no christmas rush is there?

,,,,,,and....it took a little growing on me, but i like it for the first go round..... :smile:

Just out of curiosity, when do I get this? Also, whos bits are now connected to mine (so to speak)?

a few screens....one more compile tonight, and i promise ill be done for this round ....

'Twas a pleasure to disrespect you, gentlemen, and even moreso to see how fragile your feelings on the subject really are.

The original Pitcrew map was made by the best of the best, not only of the Snarkpit community, but in my eyes the best in all the HL community. It is rather unfair to assume that someone could make a work that stood up to that, and indeed, I don't know anybody who could.

However, you can't deny that the project, thus far, seems very disorganized... hell, the sections are being tested seperately, with different textures, with different mods, FFS. For example, the kind doctor's section is quite well done, really, except everyone else is using the halflife.wad, and he's been showing it as an NS map up until now.

(On an unrelated note, now that I think about it, I kind of snapped and responded when I kept on looking at Doc's screens - they're nice and all, textures are quite admirable for one who's just started, but for God's sake man, seeing that texture meant for the short side of a cargo crate used on every wall just pushed my fragile mind over the edge.)

There's not really much more for me to talk about, because A, so little has been scraped up so far from anyone but Brasso, and B, I couldn't possibly rate what's been done so far on my scale without saying mean things to hurt your feelings, which in this situation, would produce nothing.

Love and peace,

your friendly neighborhood Cassius

P.S. Doc, why apologize?

Fragile feelings? I'm more than willing to admit my suckiness at mapping.

I don't think I defended anything, but sure.

EDIT: Ah, the "stand-up comedian" - I didn't mean you were unfunny, it was a comment on the "It took me so long to come up with a witty reply".
