Doc you map is a bit awckward... Needs to be less flat on the cieling in the walls... It looks like a box with pips and a catwalk to be honest. Im not sure if I like the lighting either.

I have to agree with Crackerjack about the boxiness - the screens seem to show a "simple hull filled in with details". I like the atmosphere a lot, but I think it might benefit from more "hull detail". As it stands, it may suffer from surprisingly dull gameplay as a result of simple "main shapes".

when i see good effort, swatted so hard, it makes me wonder what you guys are afraid to say to me about my crap :/

i almost removed my section in the pitcrew map when i couldn't originally reduce the planes error.. it was removed in one version, but when i remembered the 17 build i put it back..

remember guys, tact.. honesty above all, but tact.

i have to say, the transition between contents and container is marked brassman.. but on a good note.. many rooms in real life contain pretty items in a bland area.

Just offering an opinion on how it might be improved. That's not to say I don't like it - I'd just love to see this sort of atmosphere combined with a more interesting layout :smile:

No swatting intended! I still think it looks good, even "as is". Besides - just because I think something is wrong doesn't mean it is wrong!

Keep up the good work Doc.

.....on that we can certainly agree CJ.... :wink:

no offense taken gents.....you KNOW when im pissed, and this aint even close... :smile: the truth is a painful, yet necessary being.... :wink:

bare in mind, i have made and used all my textures, etc, and it is a time consuming task, compounded by alot of trial and error, and compile time....

i agree, its a bit squared off even after attempts to do otherwise, staying within certain limits, has proven itself to be.....a bit demanding

life is good.....my r's are great... :heee:

Sorry I've been so time consumed lately, but I'm slowly getting more time. I know what texture theme my map is using and stuff, and the layout is essentially planned. I just need an update on the last known criteria (I don't have time to read through 40 pages of posts :razz: ) Thanks in advance.

For chains you can do the folliwing:

make the texture for the chain with every other chain link, like so:

O O O O O O O O O O

Then take that and put it on a really thin brushfasing east/west. Now take the same texture, and put it on a really thin brush facing north/south, but offset the texture a bit so that it looks like the links from east-west are interlocking with the links from north south. directly from the side it will be like this (note that if you were to rotate the view the -'s would actually be loops:

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Also be sure to make the non-chain part see-through.

thanx mazey, i appreciate that....*tucks away for future use.....

chains are gone, i cant stand em....besides theres a prob with the #0000fff pallete point apparently, canna get rid da blue.....grr....and i'd have to make new textures for em too, (they are a bit clean for my tastes....)

.....and to be quite brutally honest, i need a break from this map.....

*scurries off to contemplate next project, whilst yet another "final"compile takes place as we speak..... :heee:

Not quite. I have a black marker on my desk. I call it the black marker of Death. I use it to mark people for death.

It's so hard to keep track of them all if you don't remember to mark them.

Help! I don't know where to stick it! I see a few openings, which one should I use for my purposes?

(and yes, I'm still talking about the MAP.)

Also it appears we're missing some textures...? and we have like... 8 wads, is that bad? By the way, who's using the CSTRIKE textures here? And what's that big empty room in the middle with the gutter and the water_green that looks vaguely like my section? If nobody's opposed I'll attach mine to there.

Hmm, well I guess you could say that the attitude is drected towards the end of the semester, not the exams. after all, one must die in order to reach the end of the tunnel and bright light beyond. :biggrin:
