Xen Assault [HL1] Created 19 years ago2005-04-25 05:08:27 UTC by Sajo

Dunno. I like the flare.

Bit cheap.

Ohh...your's isn't too good too! You took a few monsters placed them on the screeni and made that blur and flare. I hate that light anyway. You've asked for it...but not now after the compo.

Beta tester? That means I wont map??

Oooh.. I sense jealousy... A whole shitload of it too..

Your splash was pretty poor, Elon, and the text was misspelt.

I said it might not need anything but it needed. I already told you I was tired. And Daubster I'm not jealous I hate splash screens that are made from screenies. Why don't you try creating something of your own.

I have no reason to be jealous for I a bit about modeling, quite alot and might even better then you about mapping also I know how to draw. I have nothing to be jealous of. I'll let you make the splash screen though! I really don't care.

Ok, Saco.
You should make screenies of your models that look like that:

no...I will release screenshots in 2 weeks(probably after the compo) then you guys could make out of it.

I'll let you make the splash screen though! I really don't care.

but you are really good at it-->This 1 rockz,maybe this could be the splash?! : or the console screen

Console screen!

Needs anti-aliasing. Badly.

Ohh...I thought you wanted daubster! I'll do it!

Saco, you should blur the edges of the scientist, and garg, and perhaps use the smudge tool at the bottom to make flames coming up in front of them! Just a thought.

Edit:
Perhaps Something like this..

Hm, a bit over-the-top.

And I know it's ruled not rulled

Yeah right, you just wrote it anyway? Moron..

I won't fight with ya, Elon.
And no need to brag bout how good you are at mapping, modelling, everything else, etc.
And that garg (-100 contrast, -100 brightness) in the render clouds background looks super cheap...

have no reason to be jealous for I a bit about modeling, quite alot and might even better then you about mapping also I know how to draw. I have nothing to be jealous of. I'll let you make the splash screen though! I really don't care.

Oooh.. Aren't we special? "I'll let you make the splash screen"
Dude - all you can do is brag bout every fuckin piece of crap you make...
Bragging is for 8yr. olds - grow up already!

I didn't say anything about mapping or modelling. All I said is that your splash screen sucked, which is a fuckin fact. And since you're too weak to admit it, you start tellin me bullshit with your lame-ass excuses about how good you are at other stuff.

Such excuses like "I was tired, so that's why I made some total crap and posted it" are totally kindergarten.
If you're tired - don't do it, and if you do it - don't post it. Don't tell me that you can't make simple decisions, like posting or not posting something, when you're tired.

So the only thing I can say is:
STFU, you fuckin moron! No one gives a shit bout how tired you were. Make something fuckin better than my splash and then brag about your dumb self.

I'll make one... Anyway you're quite true about last night. Daubster thats my first work and I haven't looked in any tutorial! What do you do when you say my splash is super cheap?

Saribous you're the moron for you always try to laugh at me and you almost do nothing else! Get a life.

for your first work, I'd say it was pretty good.

But seriously guys, cool down. lol

I think I can make the characters blend in the flames!

Edit:

Anyway here is the original version:And here's a one I made a long time ago,it made me laugh a bit:(I should have aplied wind for th barney...maybe)

I freaked out a bit too much, srry, my bad.
@ Elon: Peace, dude, for your first piece of work - it's really not so bad..
I won't start criticising, it'll get me started again..

But you could blur the monsters a bit and perhaps add some inner glow, that would make them look shaded..

There. Much better guys!

Ok,it seems that the sewers chapter is cancelled cause Unbreakable got a virus in his PC that wiped out his maps so here is the chapter thats gonna replace sewers:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/Sacit/Xenassaultscre.jpg

its a some sort of depo atmosphere chapter,with silos,crates,warehouses and machinery stuff. I called: Outer Xentopia

Sweet!!

Gotta love teh crane and the texturing!!
Very nice indeed..

Looks excellent... except for the sky, which looks terrible.

Thats Xen for ya anyway I noticed a barrel on the roof so is that shootable? E.g. it rolls into the zombie
The crane is impressive and the gun is strange? It has an odd skin?

the sky, which looks terrible.

hmm,that reminded me something :Any volunteers to photoshop these skies(not these images) to make a city/xen look? :

Any volunteers to photoshop these skies(not these images) to make a city/xen look?

How about you Elon? : You seem to be good at photoshop ?Anyone?Unbreakable?

btw:here is our new hgrunt : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/Sacit/xenassaultgrunt.jpg
and a new screenshot: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/Sacit/xenassaultscre2.jpg (ok,from now on no more screenshots until next month )

sorry Unbreakable but no swat.So if you still want to help ..help me with the skies(u too Elon)

Saribous you're the moron for you always try to laugh at me and you almost do nothing else! Get a life.

No it's just that you Ask for it with your stupid comments, I mean. You knew, but spelled it wrong anyway? Yeah right.

[EDIT]
I like the pic of the place that's supposed to replace the sewer part. but why not just make a new sewage area?

I kinda like the replacement sewer area too, but I agree with SariBous, a new sewage section would be better.

I dont understand,why would you prefer a original sewer area like nearly every game/mod had.For a depo,warehouse,industrial themed chapter???
And also ,I suck at making sewers,cause I ..dunno really I just suck at it ...But I sure you that this chapter is better than my sewer maps,

I would have helped you if I knew what to do. There is another xen sky and three more alien skies. This sky looks weird for it doesn't fit the city theme(but thats the idea, a human city in the middle of xen) Also make the sky emmit a greener light!

1-Get xeno8 and xeno10 sky boxes from pak0(use pak explorer to export)
2-Edit them in photoshop.
3-Make a city at the background,(sort of xen city to both of them)
4-Then send it to me.
While you work on that,I ll be making a skybox for Xen Forest.
Team Unite
And btw Unbreakable I guess you could make a walk-through for the mod.Cause you are often busy or you do not respond much...Or do you have a better idea to help the mod : (not being sarcastic)

I can try.. Just gimme a sec.

How's that?

http://www.geocities.com/daubster_maps/xencitysky.jpg

Looks pretty sweet to me.

Doesn't really fit for the lightning should be green/blue. But it easy to change it! Thanks for helping, I needed to take a picture of a real city and do the same you had Cs. (it's CS's city sky mixed with xen's one) One advice ask rowleybob to make your sky he is better then any of us!

Look what he did to one of quake 2's skies:

The original sky:Rowleybob's edit:Although he just pasted the image over the old one he made the lightning fit(I've seen the original picture of earth and it was horrible and "fullbright") and the astroids are still in front of the planet! Only one thing bothers me, the lightning should be red not white but it's still very neat.

Thats nice Daubster ,but I need something more realistic :
And I need for xeno10 and xeno8 (both skies)

To Elon:Rowleybob seems to be really good at this,I ll pm him.

Yea, rowley is good at skies.. All I did was copy+paste the city1 sky buildings on the xen sky, blur them a lil, adjust brightness, contrast.
I'll try to do something with lighting..

You know what?I think I'm going to try myself first ,then beg for help

I think its time to explain my chapters and ideas...Why?Cause If someone steals these ideas ,so you guys can report to me(plz?)

Chapter0/The Intro:The intro movie where you ll see how things started at the first place.How did the Xen Life Forms escape,and some of them terrorizing the city.
Chapter 1/Outer Xentopia:You got teleported to Xentopia's industrial areas.Which is full of warehouses and depos.You ll find yourself jumping pipe to pipe and box to box,running from mostly gnomes.
Chapter 2/Battle Continues:You are still trying to go to the center of Xentopia,where the real battle is.
Chapter 3/Old Pal:The chapter where you 1st hook up with soldiers and barney,fighting together.
Chapter 4/HOWITZERS:A mini boss stage,where your radio gets broken and cannot communicate with the Artilery Division(howitzers).And they keep bombing dont knowing that you are in their bombing area.
Chapter 5/Xen Forest:A Xen Forest which is full of Xen Bugs and swamps.(+riding a gargantua[%40 chance])
Chapter 6/Struggle with Machines:After you crash into a base along with your gargantua.And remain fainted.You find out that the base is military weaponry factory.
Chapter 7/THE X.G.D TANK:The Guard of the base.
Chapter 8/My Evil Clone:Aliens caught you and make a copy of you ,an evil clone...Which kills Barney and your friends.Is there a way to stop him.
Chapter 9/Demons:?
Chapter 10/TEMPLE OF DEMONGARG : ?
Chapter 11/DEMONGARG :?

I hope ,I wrote those stuff correctly in English.Anyway all ideas and story is made by me.

Which part is mine!?

Would anyone feel bad if I map alone

I thought we had pass that part?I'm going to map alone.But you can help me with the skies and the splash screen :

I dont understand,why would you prefer a original sewer area like nearly every game/mod had.For a depo,warehouse,industrial themed chapter???

there is a depo/warehouse/industrial themed chapter in every mod as well. I just wondered why you would change it from a sewer. I mean, you build the maps to fit the story not the other way around, right?

I would like a sewer more, just my 2 cents

Or both, a sewer isn't hard and can be a way of getting inside a locked warehouse.

Well one mod less... :

Good luck, it's going to be difficult to built such a hugh mod by your self!

I just wondered why you would change it from a sewer

Because Unbreakable was gonna do the sewers but a virus deleted his remaining sewers map,instead of starting all over...I decided to replace it with another chapter.

Good luck, it's going to be difficult to built such a hugh mod by your self!

I know ,but the reward is big enough for me.
And +I'm going to show my mod to such game companies to join them as a level designer.(as I did much for this mod.[skinning,sprites,mapping,webmaster,texturing[modding as folder])

You want to show your level design to companies such as? Games have updated since HL1 and require a lot more detail...If you made this for HL2 alone then that would be another story.

Because Unbreakable was gonna do the sewers but a virus deleted his remaining sewers map,instead of starting all over...I decided to replace it with another chapter.

that's exactly what i'm talking about. are you just making maps randomly?

if someone at valve was making the citadel chapter in hl2 and his computer crashed, i doubt he would say "oh fuck it, let's make a warehouse instead" because the citadel chapter is there for a reason.

seems like you just make maps without any thought to the story

seems like you just make maps without any thought to the story

Thats because I suck at making sewers and I told Unbreakable to do it.He made some of it maps then a virus got in his PC and deleted all of his maps!!!And ...btw wtf are you talking about did I write all these chapters without any reason....I map according to the chapters that I wrote ABOVE!!

You want to show your level design to companies such as? Games have updated since HL1 and require a lot more detail...If you made this for HL2 alone then that would be another story.

I know but there is not even a single game company in Turkey...Did you know that!In case if there will be one,I ll be ready for it.(no,I wont only map for hl1,after this I think I ll map for UT for a while.)

HL1 and require a lot more detail

I know,I even get out and look at the building's details to make a releastic city.

What that he is trying to say saco that if you can replace that chapter so easly then you probebly thought on all of them in moments.

Saribous, the chapter with the citadel is one of the most important chapters in Hl2, but this sewers chapter is probebly the way that you escape from the city(or something like that) so it's not that important if you escape through the sewers or through a diffrent part!

yes,at last someone understood it...I cannot make my self clear,sometimes

Yes i was just wondering why you suddenly decided to change it. if it is just a transition chapter then the scenery isn't that important

ok,ok I added another map to the warehouse chapter.Which you find your self in a sewery place.And I added another mini boss stage,which you battle with the boss of the warehouse...which is a maniac who loves grenades.(it became like a crash bandicoot boss stage,but what ever ,you ll like it)[or I ll just delete it]

400th post! W00t!
