No, it was my compo entry...it didn't beat Seventh. I did enter it though. Seventh's was amazing...the moment I played it, I knew I was doomed. Oh well. Maybe next time

in vault item: Loser won't move!!!Comment #3058
The first target of the Gman is 1, while the door is also called 1, this could give problems. However, since the Gman can't reach the second path_corner, he'll just stop. He won't try to reach that point once he can do, this path_corner thing just doesn't work anymore. So, instead of doing it this way, you'll need to use a scripted_sequence, with Move to Position set to Walk. Leave the animation options blank as it's only about the moving.

Several entities can be used here. Func_pendulum for example, wich swings back and forth. A func_rotating as you're using right now will rotate around a certain axis (the axis can be defined in it's flags) so these might be usefull here too.
As for fully customisable beams, I don't think that's really possible with brush-based entities. You may want to use an env_beam that uses a func_train as ending point, wich can move around, so that would allow much more customizable patterns. A beam can also be set to fade at one end wich would look better here.

thanks...i have certain people like certain maps. I have found that maps do not necesarily need to be complicated and big to be fun. Sometimes the most fun maps for me are just things like aim maps. Although this map was very complicated to make. I was inspired to make this map when I got frustrated from being teamed up on by people when knifing.

Actually I realized that with all the changed textures from the original 2fort, mine actually looks good (if I had used original 2fort textures it didnt loko as good).

Iv'e decided to make a kind of white look in the map. I like the LAB textures. actually.. I love them. Thats why im going to just overlay them with a nice white gradient.
(1) What I said expressed to the guy who flamed me that I'm not going anywhere and that he should quit bugging me. Nothing childish in that. His remark was childish, mine was not. Get a clue.
(2) I do not know, nor care, how old you are or pretend to be. It is insignificant to me. You probably consider that statement of fact to be childish too. Guess what, who cares.
(3) What makes you think that by me pointing out YOUR childish and hypocritical behaviour, that I'm somehow "pissed off". It's quite the contrary, I enjoy making loud mouth posers look bad.
(4) And I see you still dont have the balls (or maturity) to admit that you were wrong for accusing me of "posting over and over complaining about gman". Here's an idea, you go away too. Quit acting like everyone respects you when you are a pathetic joke.

Ooh. 5 stars. I know the brushwork sucks, but I hardly ever bother with brushwork for compos...the priority is to get it to do what the compo says it should do. I improve brushwork if I have time.

I liked the architecture and details. Really nice. Lighting is good too.
However, with gl_wireframe 2 on, I saw a lot of entities still showing up, making me wonder about your VIS-process. You may want to keep entities not too large, otherwise they can spread out over several leafs, making it hard for the engine to determine whether they're visible or not. Often, they are then always rendered, even when they're not in visible leafs...

It shows an example of textlighting clipping and I think it looks very spaceshipy but oh well. It also shows how to make an working pop machine. ----UPDATE--- Added the rmf

You need to tie your origin brushes to the entity. Highlight the origin brush and the door, for instance, then hit CNTL+T, answer yes when it asks if you want to tie the new object to the existing entity.

very nice. 1 flaw though, in the last room, sector 4, (i think) when i look to the left, everything is invisible except the entities! but minus the flaw i give it 4 stars.
anyway its great and i bet you probably would have beat seventh.

Architecture is very nice, but walls are empty.
can a moderator come over here and get rid of all these posts that are involved in this little argument? Please?
P.S. Wow, I really do have a way with pissing people off, lol.
