Dm_haunted 2nd playtest version

It looks better than the initial release, but I still think it's a bit too dark. But if that's the mood you're going for, that's fine. Just know that the majority of the players like it somewhat lighter so at least they can see each other.

Dm_Haunted.

Those crazy kids!

an old abandoned mansion set in an eerie theme a good flow to the level plenty of secrets and stuff to do, includes lightsaber, gas chamber, secret passage, teleporter and sooo much more take a look.

Ok dudes the maps all sorted improved fps, sorted out lighting and any glitches found, doors werking much better now and level looking goood!

Opinions needed guys

would love to see this on the snarkpit server guys.

leme know what u think all.

much better than before, hope the tutorial was useable :smile:

not to bitch, but the forums are set up so you can have "chapters" of a sort so you do not have to begin new threads over the same maps.

thnx for ur help bro, theres a space in the mansion for a room if u wanna make one for beta 3 dude :biggrin:

got the frames up a lot more i think, couldnt bare to part with my lovely swinging doors i luv em, but they rarely break now :biggrin:

any suggestions or what u wanna see in release 3 let me know

UncleSte

soz orph have branded on my ass for future reference :biggrin:

yeah wasnt intentional i wanted to delete the other map i posted about and replace it with this but i messed it up so i did 2 sorry man :biggrin:

UncleSte

well, tell you what, i want higher fps (they are about 30) try to get
them at least around 50, work with some areaportals and hint brushes,
and then, make a 3d skybox, cus just like my map
(http://www.snarkpit.com/maps.php?map=1779) it looks very "hl1"

unfortunately i couldnt use a 3d skybox had a lot of practice with em.

I did have a sky camera set up but if u snipe from the balcony u can see through my nodraw textures on some of the house. it was either box the whole level and mask the areas or go for blank skybox of just the back garden.

Hopefully in release 3 the front door will be useable and ill have the full garden to play with in which case im gonna use the 3d syboxes and me skycameras, fog , sun etc.

i did try it with a skybox and just the back garden but imo it looked better with the dark texture on the sky to simulate the darkness.

Also the map ran a bit faster without it.

I may need some help on hint brushing tho i tryed setting them up but it didnt seem to have much effect on the bsp. Gonna try and occlude all the rooms fer version 3 also

Just wanna see if i can get this one on the server to see if its worth me going further with it for u guys :biggrin:

UncleSte

Looking much better!

Lighting is better and it shouldn't be too hard to make a good 3D skybox!

Roate it around if the objects are not in the right side of your sky!
