Project Source Development Week 4:

Fuck.

I think I may have to do a complete Re-work of my map. I really don't want to do that either.

I'm way behind schedule. WAY WAY WAY behind schedule. It just seems the source engine is more picky than goldsource.

Can't get my lighting to work (Might be a result of the "too many leaves" error)

Can't fix that damn leaf-saw error

Models that say they're prop static ARENT. So i have to manually change each individually to prop Physics (TAKES FOREVER and i don't know why i can't select a bunch and change the entity type. It just erases the model name)

Even tho the map seems big, it's smaller than i would've hoped. It doesn't take any time at all to run through the map. I'm going to have a hard time making this a good combat map.

I still have to learn scripts. They don't work for me and i'm just starting to get pissed.

This is one of the most frustrating experiences i've ever had with mapping. Ever.

In other news: Turns out the drummer in my band indirectly knows the bassist from Shinedown. We're getting studio time in South Carolina with the company that they themselves record with. We're doing a full-length album, re-mastering all of our old songs, and putting in all of our new ones. It's going to be a week-long ordeal sometime during winter. I don't know the exact date yet, but we may get a record deal out of it..
I'm crossing my fingers on this one, it's going to be almost a $10,000 investment.

Hopefully It'll all be worth it someday.

and if anybody reads this, i scrapped my entry. Starting over in goldsource.
