SPLA Map

any idea on a release date??

[edit] WOO!!! 1000^th post in this topic

i have had so little real time in spite of the fact that i spend most of it here, i truly have less than you all would imagine..

anywho's i am determined to get pitcrew1 released.

perhaps sunday i will set my machine up for the massive task of compiling our monster, i expect most of that time will be in figuring out the exact sequence of tools i used last time :sad:

it would be nice if we could correlate our arrivals upon the world.

how close is pitcrew2 from completion?

Jon, t'would be a pleasure to see both the first and second PitCrew map efforts released upon the world at the same time. Or close to it. PitCrew2's map is not anywhere close to a release.

However, with a dedicated team I am sure we can progress rather rapidly. Currently we have 5 (or was it 6?) sections put in, but more will be added later.

Sinner has the map right? All we can do is wait on him.

It will be a short while compared to when I had the map...

I imagine progress will be much speedier with summer vacation nearly upon us. Of course, I just graduated so no more summer vacations for me sob

Yea but that means lots of parties comming up. Just try and remember them :razz:

You are one sadistic pig :biggrin:

well like i said before, im just working on fixing the bugs and flukes of the current version. so if someone who wants to add a section is waiting, let me know ill hand it over, no point in fixing bugs now only to find more later :wink:

Ait... Sinner PM'ed me and said he's going to be unavailable for a while... So then.. Who wants the map now? You can feel free to touch up your sections, modifying them as you see fit so they can fit in with the rest of the level.

You can also add some parts... Like hallways and smaller rooms and such.

Hit me up with map and I will finish it really quick.

/me imitates chicken with head chooped off

chemistry isn't so bad, i'm taking it for A-level :razz:

I wouldn't mind making a section some time and fixing some bugs, I'm actually doing almost nothing at home but watching these forums and learning Soilwork and Killswitch Engage songs haha!

Can't do anything to a map this weekend or next week though, got download festival then I'm gunna be away after the weekend.

I'm sure we could set something up perhaps.

Yeah, im down with him doing that. You just want me to send it to him before I take a look at it.

CJ, if you want to add something to it, like hallways, feel free. I find the map is lacking closed spaces.

your going to the download festival? kewl! are there any screen shots available to the not so general public?

/me looks across at WC :heee:

Soon. Tell ya what. When someone next sends the map to me I'll give it a look over (like 2 minutes to see) and then compile it and post some screens. With comments. Unless someone dosent want to have screens shown.

We showed you ours...

Why is it that everyone hates my major?

I don't have a problem with Myrk doing a section or showing screens. I'm thinking though that I may want to completly redo my section.

You guys added your sections as maps in your profiles yet? There should be extra snarkmarks for making an SPLA map :razz:

Nothing (as far as I know) has been added yet. Thats a cool feature Lep could work out though lol. Having a map with multiple authors.

Am I the only one who has yet to see a single screenshot of this map??

no.

Well, all we currently have is this

http://www.snarkpit.com/pits/tracer%20bullet/SPLA.htm

It's old stuff though.

That arched bit is far too detailed considering how high the wpolys are.

Scale the other texture or get a bigger one so the banks aren't split up so much.

Looks good guys. :smile:

ok, you say it's an older version, but considering how it's all been kept pretty much under wraps since the begining, a page where the .rmf the .wad and the .rad files can be obtained is a bit more than i expected when i went looking for the screenshots.

Corrected... Oops, my bad. Well, everything there is a few months out of date anyways. The .rmf for sure, the .wad, well, we have like 3 different once.. I have to fix that.

Okay I went through the map, and people have a lot of work to do on their sections, alot of plan repeating textures and such, try adding trims and to spice of the textures and difference in architecture. Anyways, I changed some thing here and there but nothing to big. Dont have the time really, so who ever wants please tell me.

I'll take it, and give it a lookey-see and a compile.

OK guys, I have watched this thread for 70 PAGES!. Some screenies pleez. I think I was sent the first snarkpit map, was quite good if I remember. Can't wait to see this one.

Once I get the map from CJ I'll give it a compile, and get a page on my pit with screenshots and wireframes, all with R speeds included.

You must get pretty Pi**ed off with people asking for some screen shots lol

You guys must get bored never giving any.

well, for the longiest time we the group here had desided to keep the map under raps until it was more complete. but i think its time we release atleast some pix of what we got sofar.

cant wait to see the Rs for the map, might help find the problems.

GL WC.

Ok, for now, I'll go through the version I have, since CJ isnt online. And I'll fix that up and compile it. I'll try and have it uploaded by tomorow (cant promiss since I have cadets on Tuesdays) if not, on Wednesday for sure.

lol.. Wow, god do I ever hate Visgroups... lol.. Dont know how to use 'em either. But who the hell grouped the whole freggin map! lmao!.. Here I am in flat view looking for brush errors and all I see is white and purple (purple for entities).. Had to take out the VisGrouping there. Actually, I took them all out.

Simplyfied a few things too to lower R's. And in most instances, there is no shape difference.

The main thing that was killing our r_s was bad conections between Sinner and Money's sections. they simply had no visblocking at all.

My section also has pretty high R_s, but, as I said, I plan on revamping it significantly.

speaking as someone who does a few critiques.. if you wanna post screens, reset your res to 800x600 before you load HL.. this way you cannot forget to do it later...

I can't read most of those commets WC...

WC:

'beginning'
'conveyor'

And your screenshots are too big ... disgusting resized text

900 r_speeds isn't bad at all IMO. It Would be playable on a GF2/TNT2 wouldn't it?
