It's a dynamic cartographer that maps every tile. It's stupidly optimized and accurate.

Progress is slow, spent all day reinstalling Visual Studio 2015 so it all works again. Numerous bugs but nothing outside my skill level so far. ^_^

@Windawz: Temple maps looks awesome. Who cares about what it is exactly, it's HLDM, a Tau Cannon sounds the same on every arena.

in Your dream game Post #334663
Takes notes

My dream game would be a sandbox game a lot like minecraft but combine it with that Euclidean Unlimited Detail engine and just go. I actually really prefer more peaceful games, or team games versus a computer opponent.

A pipe dream game would be a new modern version of Blast Corps for the N64 with online multiplayer and a level editor so there's endless levels.

I also love platformers, like Metroid and Megaman, and I'm basically making my dream platformer right now. :)

@jessie - SMJ has a New Game Plus mode, and I fully realize that starting a new game with existing abilities and knowledge trivializes a lot. So I wrote a script to swap rooms with different or harder versions to compensate this. Also, enemies will be tougher and items will be of a higher grade.

There's a walk through camera in max. It's the two little shoe prints icon in the bottom left I think. Been a while. Max was created for architecture and has remained to be oriented towards that since. Though it does a lot of things now but it's still compatible with cad softwares.

A blender plugin would still be a good idea.

If I can spend 4 months getting controller support for my indie project, you can certainly make a port to blender. Fuck I know I don't need controller support but it is indeed a good idea. Plus people wanted it.

I began a mod called The Travelus a few years back. I was going to link a 10x10 grid of open maps and let the player choose how to complete necessary tasks in a mostly open alien world.

I wrote a theme song and modeled a cool arm-cannon and gave up after 6 hours.

Setup the textures as you would for Hammer Sledge and and compile it normally and all that. No extra crap in the QC script.

Using Jeb's model viewer or a model viewer that can do this, inspect the texture and check the transparent checkbox then go file > save model and give it a new name and use that one.

That's it.

I agree with that but I'm still worried about Long so I guess I'll take that section. Maybe T Spawn and maybe the L unless someone else has a good idea, I have none for those two sections.

I have some concerns about the layout. The T Spawn seems cramped and the CT Spawn is far more open and all that. I feel the two spawns should trade places or modify the layout a bit. It's also smaller than I expected but that can push combat engagements.

We need to play-test this as it is as soon possible.

EDIT: I've made some addendums to the sides coming out of T spawn. Uploaded.

It's like he painted what I had in mind but way better than what I could do. If we take those shapes/visual language and such and apply our own design, I think we can knock this out of the park. We still have magma and limestone stala(gm)(ct)ites and rocks so break a bunch of that into scenes like these and we could have something awesome.

I've see sketches of the drill digger. I can start modelling that out asap but in case I can't, there needs to be a backup plan. For now Plan A though.

As soon as a plan is good enough, plot out the floors only in hammer, sky box it, and pass it around as soon as possible. We all need to know the space immediately so we can all help to refine it.

Since other people are doing things like layout and textures, I'm looking at things like color, light and light sources, shapes and visual language etc. starting with limestone caves, I like seeing the sugary white look of it, and with deep earth we get orange and burnt reds from magma. Borg tech is like gun metal and green. Many of the spaces may as well have sub themes of their own with one or two combined sets of visuals. I could scratch up some conceptual design to illustrate what I mean when I nab some time.

Of course I could whip them out like it's nobody's business but that takes time and I have a massively overloaded queue of work I need to do for the next couple months. THAT's the kicker. :/

I can't hand-paint every square inch of this map. Though I can help a bit. Doesn't Urby do textures? The core looks pretty snazzy and if it's subterraneous then we have some options.

I want to fully participate but my priorities are shifting. I'm doing that thing that adults do. Ya know, adulting and junk.

I have no idea what I could feasibly contribute. I'm good with starting stuff but I'm terrible with the end-game. Maybe I can make the skybox or something, I have the know-how and such to do that. Perhaps some important non-gimmicky well needed models for some stuff as well. Gotta know what things are before I commit to doing that much work when I can't actually afford it.

We need a rough. If archie is putting forth a layout, he needs to display every one of his ideas early and often so we can decided and feedback. Also, plotting the floors in hammer/sledge is also a fast way to concept in a 3D space that pen/paper seems to lack.

Get to it

Ok... is all of TWHL a team? cuz if so I can provide some stuff but if it's a small 2-3 person team, I can't devote too much time.

Otherwise I say we need to start with step 1: a layout.
Not sure what to do about the theme though. Maybe a deep-earth upside-down suspended rock complex of science or something. Suspended over magma or whatever.

This doesn't mean I'm [b]in[/b] just throwing my two-cents in.

in HL1, 12 units = 12 inches. The player is 72 units tall, equal to 6 feet.

If you scale everything by 0.6 it would come out to real world proportions.
