i truly hate to explain jokes, it really ruins them IMO :sad: but to have them slide completely over someones noggin is even worse....

Your ability to humor us is inversly proporsional to your understanding of MMs

I'll fix the errors in pix 3 and 5 since I have the map at the moment. Once its fixed and once my part is finished (more or less) I'll compile and give you guys an update.

haha, what the hell?
Why would a flat sign be causing errors? And how did my rocks get errored up? Something suspicious here, maybe you're reading the coordinates in the wrong order? Or, perhaps coordinates mean nothing from the output.

this map has producesd errors that previously didn't exist because someone rotated it.. /methinks it sounds like it happened again.

The way I see it, if you look in flat mode and see 2 brush faces on the same plain at the same level that would cause the error. But in anycase, the errors dont harm the gameplay of the level. Sure it looks bad in terms of mapping and compile times are much higher (stupid leaf thread) but gameplay isnt harmed. So in the end, even if we cant fix 'em all, it dosent really matter IMO.

This is why I didnt 100% built my part. I built my main part is a specific orientation which remains the same, and then now that I have the map, I am building my own corridors so that nothing needs to be rotated.

I understood. I just didn't think it was funny, so I assumed there was more to it. oh well...

but you see bud, that result is in itself funny as hell to me the mental image of you waiting..and waiting, and waiting for more.. that picture has me pissing myself.

i will henceforth in the future attempt to make my funnies more educated, i realize its a sort of discrimination to leave west coasters behind..

Poor Orph, should I get you adult diapers?

ok guys, time to get our collective s**t together....

Doc B... :dodgy:

Sorry doc, the post office dosent let me send s**t to other people.

But yea I'm being lazzy (er, Im working yes...) on the map at the moment.

I just have a exam and interview tomorow to worry about first

when i said, "get OUR s**t tohether", thats exactly what i meant; i was not directing that at you solely there WC...i can not fathom the reasons for rmf's being sent on with errors in them, that are simply because of unsound mapping practices, because this gets beat into our heads around here all the time...so, when i say WE, i damn well mean All of us....its not up to me to fix your f**kups, or vise versa....take yer time gents, do it right the first time, and when the second round comes about for adjustments, itll be that much easier on all of us...

btw, school is MUCH more important that this s**ttin' map, so take care of business, and we'll be here when yer ready.... :wink:

/end rant

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

Actually, the exam is the Regional selection exam for Power application (I got my glider license this summer) and Im hopping for Power this year. Private pilot that is.

Cadets and flying to me are the most important thing right now. So sorry for the slight delays... I promiss something good. (damn, havent figured out a spiffy machinery to put in yet)

well TB, that is the rmf i DLed from our site, i was trying to get an idea of where those pesky leaf saw errors were, its rather odd that an error showed up where ursection shoulda been...lol. maybe read the fine print of the log, thats what that error was "hello...where the hell is TBs section" says hammer. :biggrin:

have u updated the rmf on the site TB? cause thats where i got that for the pix.

poor orph, always havin to explain his short and simple humor...lol, OH what was that, i just felt the ground shake :razz:

I just checked the file I have posted, and it does indeed contain my section. I have no idea whay you can't see it!

um...is it in english?? :eek: ....**runs

visgrouping?

now that you mention it jon, somebody had damn near everything in a s**tpot full of visgroups....cant remember who tho....

Doc b... :dodgy:

Yes, I realize that was a gramaticaly challenged post

I don't really know how to use visgroups, so maybe I did somthing by mistake?

I never used vis groups cause I dont understand them... I'm like Orph with the mm's :razz: :biggrin:

visgrouping is a godsend for people with seriously undersized computers.

what it does it essentially remove what you see from the mapping grid, in essence rendering the PC to more easily draw what is left.

to visgroup something, say a table you just built... press CTRL and left click each piece of the table till the whole thing is red, then click the little box on top that says "hide selected object" then it will appear on left as "? pieces hidden"

edit this to say "TABLE"

then all you have to do is click on it and a tiny little hand will appear pointing at it.. press "whatever button is left" i don't have 3.5 installed anymore i have 4.0 and it has different words..

but essentially, that is visgrouping.. just remember, the invisible stuff is still there and do NOT map in that region.. else you will overlap.

it just basicly makes it easier to see sections without the clutter yer looking thru....

Doc B....

bah I got used to the clutter. lol

In that case, I use it all the time; just in a less organized fassion. I tend to hide everything except what I am working on.

I'd forget about something... lol. Because its not there anymore.. well, visually.

well i know i had all my stuff visgrouped in my section, not sure its there anymore though.

ok, yah...all the visgroups i got here are turnned on, and still no section from u TB :\

also, umm none of the visgroups even have anything in them...lol ohwell.

is it possible that this is a hammer 3.5 vs. 3.4 incompatability? because things seem throughly borked.

s**t there is a 3.5 now...OMG ERRRR

well yah, im still using 3.4 right now, i thought 3.4 was still beta, i had no idea they got a 3.5 out now...uhg any major difference?

ive had no problem between versions man....i dont think thats it...

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

ok...ran thru the updated version this morning....5+megs at this point already....and how many parts are left to be included, not counting mine??....wow

missing some textures yet, so im thinking we need to do a complete compendium of parts, and quit this searching s**t....and man, its waaaaay dark....but i like the layout so far pretty much...ill do a detailed critique after while, gonna be a busy day.... :wink:

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

I know for sure that yours (Doc B) and my parts are missing. We'll, im putting mine in now.

As for the missing textures, they are from the infamous factory.WAD that money used. lol.

ok....small prob....talked to moneyshot...the boy's been in and out of the hospital of late, guess his throat swelled up to the size of a dime, thought it was gonna shut on him...tonsilitis i believe he said...now hes fighting the flu.....but, he doesnt know if he has the CS wad that he used anymore, sooooo.....we'll see what happens...i didnt bug him about it, he didnt seem too well yet, and i felt bad for bothering him....anyway, we'll press on as best we can till we can hook up with him, and figure out what to do....sound like a plan?

Doc B... :dodgy:

I was one the who distrubuted and created some parts of the factory.wad.. so if thats what you fellows are looking for please do tell.

yes yes....***grabs CJ by the neck, attempts to squeeze from him...

Doc B... :dodgy:

You can probably find damn near every CS wad, public or otherwise, on CSJolt.

thanx cass, we may need to go that route....i was kinda hoping we could just retexture the damn parts tho, im not real fond of CS in any form or fashion... :wink:

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

removes Doc's glove from his hand...Smacks Doc in the face

CS pizownz, no trash talkin the almighty CS...but yah anyways retexture or finding that wad, something needs to be done there. ive only got Doc's and my wad files so i think we need to throw this stuff together so it is all as one.

uhg...whatever happened to hl.wad ...lol

Whenever whe get this figured out, PM the textures to me so I can post them on the site. I don't have time to sort the textures myself though.

The factory.wad is in fact not a CS wad. It has original textures created for a map that i was working known as Old Factory which can be found in my pro. Some of the other textures were assembled from various wads. Another texture artist sent me.. Blazeeer.. a couple texture to add. So Factory.wad is in no way of shape nor form, a CS wad. If this happens to be the one your looking for PM and I will give you the link.

Yes that is the one we are looking for... can you PM Tracer B the link?

Confusion stems from the fact that "check for problems" reports several missing "cstrike_something" textures.

I'd say perhaps me, but I havent put in anything that you guys would have. Cause I use pretty much every textures available. Provided they look good together.

Hows the map going? Progress report anyone?

WC still has it afik

I du. right now, though, I've been on and off with it though. I have 2 english books to read for school, essays like no tomorow, the TDK competition map, cadets, etc... lol. O, and sleep..

Understood. no rush.
