What are you talking about dude? Those textures are 2D images.

Yeah, that's what I commented on. I was chocked you didn't create 3D geometry instead of using 2 dimensional textures that looks like 3D geometry but actually isn't.

This is all proof of concept, a prototype if you will. When I have the core gameplay functional I might replace the 2D objects with 3D objects.
Or not. The original game this is based off of is a 2D game as well.

Why 48x56 and not 48x48 or 56x56?

damn using the source engine to make games that would be happy on a megahertz cpu, weird weird stuff
i think it would be more fun to make such games run within the game, like on those interactive panels in doom 3, i guess quite possible on source too

I did always feel that the interactive surfaces in games was vastly underutilized.
Perhaps in the future more gaming machines will have touchscreens that you can use to interact with ingame keypads etc. Using interactive screens with a mouse is pretty awkward.

The Deus Ex/System Shock 2 implementation of keypads always felt pretty good to me too, letting you punch in the code by hand or with the numpad quickly. I definitely agree that environmental/surface interaction is underutilized these days, though.

Not that we normally see THAT MANY touch screens in everyday life.

But in the CYBER FUTURE, they'll have touch screens plastered onto everything.

This has no place in this thread since it is from February and is no longer being worked on. This is my latest dabble in the Source engine.
NOTE: Yes, those background buildings do shrink between shots. They are a compile apart from one another.

I wonder if you could somehow rig the scenery to move relative to the player's position in the map.
Probably Tetsu0 has done it already

Theres an entity called logic_measure_movement that reads movement of one entity and applies it to another.
It's how I did the minimap for Bosconian. It can definitely be applied to something in the skybox.

Nice dim! love the lights.
So i just used non-rendered func_brush entities as references. one is stationary, one is parented to my hud.
But what about parenting?You specify a reference entity for the entity you want to measure, and then another reference entity for the entity you want to move. The 2nd reference entity is parented to whatever you want to follow. (my HUD for instance)

Post #325824
But why not just parent the 2nd entity to the 1st entity directly instead of bothering with a middlehand logic_measure_movement entity?
Posted 9 years ago2015-06-06 12:16:46 UTC
Post #325825
Because thats straight 1:1 movement. The hud is like 50x smaller than the level so with the measure movement entity you can set movement ratios.

I can example-map it if anyone is interested. Meanwhile, I'm probably going to have to settle for something that looks a little shoddy when empty (or that doesn't empty at all).

I barely come up with anything. I've said it before, and I'll say it again; almost all of my maps are based on places I've worked/spent time in.

I have a bad feeling that i'll spend so much time admiring The Core's levels that i'm going to die every 10 seconds.
Jessie, what's that you're working on? Your work is pretty spot on compared to the reference shot. Though the ladder could be shifted a bit more right.

A recreation, my friend. That is all I shall share for now. Besides WIPs.
This one's almost as finished as I'll bother with, except that window needs changing and I'll make the scrolls for that there basket. I may make a more fitting texture for the table, too. Maybe.
I am aware the room is about four times too small. It really can't be helped.

These are looking immensely cool. I was going to mention that they both seem a bit narrower than their source material, but you said the size can't be helped? Curiouser and curiouser. I'm excited to see what you're doing here.

Post #326099
Well, the perspective is tricky to get right, which is one thing, but I have certain size constraints imposed by the body of the map which I have not shown. Seems ol' Westwood didn't expect anyone to notice these rooms being too big for where they are! (N.B. Not a serious complaint, the game's great and is the sort of thing you'd only ever notice if you were, say, making a HL map of it.) And yes, the whole map will be a little... slender. I started this map quite a long time ago, and returned to it after I saw how much effort I'd put into some of this. I suppose I settled on a scale back then. I'm sure I had my reasons.

A wild yet another thang appeared!
I'm hoping when I've got light coming only from the thingy, it'll balance the room more accurately.

Ehh, I'm not really feeling vehicles on this map. It's inspired by the Paris Cathedral level from Deus Ex 1, in both level design and aesthetic.

I decided to chose a different visual style for my TF2 map I haven't even talked about around here at TWHL.
The old style was a more dusty, Upward like environmental light and skybox:
The new one uses an early morning sunlight and the Granary skybox:
