SPLA Map

MoneyShot's section is done (save the later revision to it). I got Sinner_D's section as well, dont know if its final or not though. I can send MS's section to Sinner_D so he can incorporate his section onto it. Then send it back to me. If that sounds like a plan.

As well, the easter egg idea, well, I dont know where that came from. But for now dont worry too much about that. Just make your sections. The sooner they are done, the sooner we can move forward with the map.

Comments?

As well, try to get your sections done ASAP please. I understand some of you cant go on the comp and map as they please but try your best.

sounds good, send MS's section, ill attach it, and make corretions to myn to fit with his, then ill send it back to u WC. as far as i know im done, i really cant fit anything else in, once i seen MS's section, i may deside to redo, or alter my section to fit more with his, that way we got somethin started :biggrin:

P.S. for those who havent started yet, PLEASE dont wait til the last minute to drop out, if ur unable to map for us at present time, please say so and bow out now so the rest of us can get on with this project...no offence, but im getting rather bored over here.

also, WC if the file is more then 1mb ill have to DL it from somewhere, my email addy dont allow more then 1mb.

Ahh Sinner gets to see my section B4 I get to see his.. Bummer..

Sinner when U see it let me know what U think.. I hope it works well with your section.

I also plan on adding to it some.. ( Not 4 this Project ) just for something to do.

I am still commited to doing a section, but as I have said, I think my senior thesis and GPA are a tad more important than mapping. I'll get on it right after finals, I promise :biggrin:

i totally agree TB, and we will definately wait for ya....no sweat at all as far as im concerned....give em hell on yer finals.....my college thesis was a veritable biotch!!!

btw, who the hell set a friggin deadline anyway??....and what kinda sense does that make?....if i remember correctly, the first pit crew map is still....ahem,....in the works... :wink:

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

no one has set a deadline, and TB i wasnt rushing anyone either. i can understand ur life is more important, but to those of us already finished, or near finished...it kinda sux that we have to wait. GL on ur finals TB

take ur time guys, but keep in mind you have people waiting on you, so please be as quick as possible :biggrin:

MS, ive already seen ur section, atleast before the remodeling :biggrin: if you want i can give u a link to my section and u can have a look...its not compiled, but the rmf should give ya an idea of the place :razz:

Thanks Sinner.. pretty cool man. I think our sections will meld well together.

I hope Wild Card sends that to you pretty soon.. Id like to see what you think of the re-model.

Tracer good luck man on them finals.. Is this the final final?

($)

Bah... they dont even start untill decmber 4th, right now I'm just raceing to get my thesis intro written, and my presentation on it prepared, along with all my normal homework.

Ok, Sinner_D, I cant send you MS's section until late tonight. In like 5 or 6 hours. I have a little bit of fix 'em up to do first. So, I'll PM you a link then. Tracer Bullet, good luck with your studies. They take priority over the mapping. I guess I'll get started on my centerpiece soon as well.

DocRock, whats happening with your section? If its ready, send it over.

Doc Brasso, how goes your section as well?

my fourth rendition is almost complete, and i wish to confer with the folks providing the adjacent sections to me before sending it to you.....the reasons being:

1....yer gonna have yer hands full as it is trying to connect these puppies...

2....trying to stay within tolerable limits of size is well, a pain, as im known for pushing the limits on map sizes....

3.... just to maintain a bit of symmitry....(speeling?)

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

edit....the method of "passing the rmf around is , to me, a much better way to go....///just my 2 cents

Right now, Brasso, I have MoneyShot's section. When I get home from school, I'll fix up a few things and then send it to Sinner_D so he can incorporate his section onto it. Then the map will go back to me so I can look over it again. Then off to the next mapper (you?) so they can add in their own section to the rest.

Once I have a few sections added together, I'll put in the centerpiece.

i spose thatll work.....we'll see.... :smile:

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

Should work as long as people leave room for the centerpiece. Once I get the map back from Sinner_D (have to send it first though :rolleyes: ) Do you want to put your section up after that?

well lets see.....im thinking that the adjacent pieces should be fit together ....i cant remember if hes next to me or not....i know docrock is.....but....? //me investigates.....

Doc Brass.... :dodgy:

lol, do you have screens or a description?

"come and listen to a story 'bout a man named....Al..."

yeah, but i need to head out for a few....to be continued.... :smile:

Doc B.... :dodgy:

lol, cya in the later

some screens....as of now im over my self imposed limit by about 500 patches, so a bit of rework is in order.....but this is the general idea, with a few texture and lighting changes, size changes, and detailing...

i suppose the general layout will stay the same, entrances and such on either side, and the back on one end....

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

docrock, i need some input from you, and to confer if you have a minute later....need to run and pick up my little one....

ok, i do agree that passing along an rmf is far more stable, however MS and I have already finished (or so we say) our sections, and im not sure who else has already done what. so if we are going to do this pass the rmf thing, we better get it started now before things get to much further. i am recieveing MS's section tonight and ill work as quick as possible to link them together, we could start there.

P.S. WC do you have a list of who's section is where? just so i know where to attach MS's section :biggrin:

Looks pretty good brasso, big but good, btw you do know were mapping this for HLDM not NS :biggrin: just a suggestion...add some crate like things, the room is too open, nowhere to hide :O

****checking my forehead for tattoo that says "moron".....nope, not there.....

at the risk of sounding like a flippant asshole, i abstain from comment sinner.... :razz:

READ THE POSTINGS IVE PUT OUT TODAY ON THIS PAGE PLEASE SIR!......RIGHT ABOVE THE PICS ON THE SAME PAGE!!! THANK YOU, PLEASE DRIVE THRU!!!

Doc Brass....non-flippant asshole....at least for the moment.... :dodgy:

everytime you post, my esteem for you grows doc.

i must say tho, the screens are much less interesting than your earlier versions..

Hey Sinner_D, give me about 20 minutes and I'll send you the map. How ya want it, MSN? email? download link?

Doc Brasso, I cant see your screens cause of my monitor prob, I'll give ya feedback and such when I get on another computer.

yeah, they hate typo's while reading will's, be sure its spelled "Jon E. Rickenbacker Jr." exactly :dodgy:

CJ if you want in, just make a little something and then, we'll toss the map your way (eventually) and you can add in a section.

No Its a Full Moon tonight DOC.. Or its just now fading.. and sometime brain cells seem to fade by the phase of the moon.. ( where did I leave my hat )



As seen from this web page..

After a little research there will be a full moon tomorrow Nov 13th 2003... That explains it.. =)

We had a lunar eclipse during our survival excercise. Made a great night game, cant see anything.

ok jon, you got it, but i gotta tell ya, youll have to wrestle my wife for it, and , no offense bud, my money is on her....

Doc B....

:dodgy:

lol...brasso, be sure to finish ur section before u croke :biggrin:

MS, WC says you have a "factory.wad" file for me...can i get that please?

WC please respond shortly and give me link...you forgot it in the pm...lol

ok, ive added my section to MS's, i did a slight remodel on my part.

WC or MS: whoever wants to visgroup MS's section...let me know, ill send it to you next. my section is fully visgrouped, except exterior walls.

MS: love ur section...its very pretty, lego man roxor :biggrin:

Sinner_D, once your done, send the map back to me

ok well...MS's section has a few problems.

Error: Entity 0, Brush 98: mixed face contents
Texture !FIRE1 and !FIRE1 Error: Entity 0, Brush 99: mixed face contents
Texture !FIRE1 and !FIRE1
Error: Entity 0, Brush 99: mixed face contents
Texture !FIRE1 and !FIRE1
Error: Entity 0, Brush 157: mixed face contents
Texture !FIRE1 and !FIRE1

ive never seen this error, so i dont know how to fix it. but it appears to have something to do with this "!FIRE1" texture...i removed all errored parts and are test compiling as we speak.

WC, ill send you the errored version (errored parts will be visgroup "FIRED") maybe you'll know how to fix it other then deleting :biggrin:

all that is telling you is that there is both a water and a non-water texture on the brush. (one that begins with "!") all you have to do is retexture the brush so it only contains water textures.

Also don't paint SKY on a face, you have to do the whole thing.

that too

i thought this was funny, i'd never actually done a before and after comparison test for water elements...

[simg]http://www.snarkpit.com/pits/dr brasso/Brasso_02/brass_hl020000.jpg[/simg]

that was obviously the before shot, and now.....drumroll please....the aftermath......woot! (and before you say anything, no, its not staying like this at all)...!!!!

[simg]http://www.snarkpit.com/pits/dr brasso/Brasso_02/brass_hl020001.jpg[/simg]

damn freaky isnt it....no damn middle ground there....

...and a couple others, since its allready screwed..... ( i have to laff, i have no life anymore)... :heee:

btw, im getting to where i really hate this section.....no room to do s**t at all....grrrr

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

Mabe Wild Card can send you my lava and U can see what I did.. maybe it will help you some DOC? Or I can send it to you.. and heck maybe U can help me with my section some too. =)

($)

i truly do appreciate the gesture money, but i was actually just dickin' around out of sheer frustration...my section is goin the way of a.....well.....turd in a punchbowl.... (the rest of the sections ive seen being the punchbowl... :heee: ) ....but i would definately like to see what youve got going, as i could sure use some new inspiration....im finding that these kinds of size constraints are really f**kin' with my ability to produce anything close to decent...

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

Brasso, dont worry your head off with size limitation, just make something you like.

So, whats happening then? Wildcard, hopefully you got my PM, if people are interested I can post the download link I gave him here. It's pretty much teh shell of my section, mainly for linking and size type purposes. Once it's incorporated I'll go over it and put in more detail depending on the r_speed limitatioins that other peoples sections impose.

Ok, no putting download links in this thread. By PM only.

I've gotten your PM and will be looking over the map in a bit. Gotta eat supper first. I'll try and find a way to connect my part to it (wait, I havent done anything yet :rolleyes: ) Oops. Well, I have it all out on paper.

well, i tell ya.....i spose i better apologise now, because im gonna trash this section ive done , and start over.....but......this one will be my last rendition for this endevour gentlemen......so, a word of advice about my section,: wait till i get another one set, and dont put yer drawings in stone yet WC.......thanx for the patience...

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

and WC, i liked the first one i did, but it was entirely too big....someone else would have had to make a microsection, and that just wouldnt have been fair.... :cool:

i am not sure exactly what "paint" IS BUT, a few zoners ago, they made it possible to mix a few textures that were previously impossible to do, you can now mix a skybrush and a world solid, as long as you cannot view the skymix face from any direction ingame...

also i heard you could mix water and world solids too, but never saw a reason to try.

be sure you are using at least zoners 2.5.3, you dont have to use the 17 build.

im not exactly sure what version of zoners i have...im going to DL the 2.5.3 now just to make sure :biggrin:

thnx again orph for ur unstopable wisdom (and forum posts) :razz:

P.S. is there a problem with custom build 17? i cant find anything else but that. let me know

i am not the "ultimate source", by any means, but zoner is damn good about fixing any bugs that have arisen, and jumping right in peoples asses for bugging up thier custom builds, some im betting its not an fgd problem, unless yours has been corrupted somehow....just my 2 cents...

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

btw, heres a crowbar to pry orph's head thru the door.... :dodgy:

Well i was thinking what i could contribute but i was thinking that if you guys put all your sections together.. send me the rmf i will go threw spice it up and make sure the lighting is better than up to par. If that is cool with you guys
