So I guess I'm the only one that chose a rather small place...

A place that leaves room for some nice details and entity trickery, that is... ;)

Progress looks good, and I think this will become a rather interesting challenge.

I have a rather ambitious idea, and I need have no pictures for ti, although I'm sure I can submit some mildly related pics to fool the judges =/

:o Sexy.

Any chance of an in-game?
I think this will become a rather interesting challenge.
That was the original idea. Challenging, even to experienced mappers.

I tried mapping the leaning tower of Piza, and it looked damn secksi but fucked half-life, so oh dear.

Compilling is hell at the moment. I've yet to do a full compile. I also need some decent textures plus entity work. Thanks for your comments people. :)

Just func_wall those things in the middle, leave the rest world brushes. :)

Or heck, just func_wall the whole bridge.

Hey Cap'N P! I'm sure PaLO's entry will suck so much that no-one will ever want to play it and they'll all vote it minus a million billion stars foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 waat!

PaLO is such a f**king noob for making the first ever unintentional quadruple post!!
Anonymous would never be as lame as that! I want to bum him1! yayayayay!

uum, why dont you move away with such talking, it isnt really appreciated by the community. and you might stop flaming peace and love to. you look like the noob here, especialy with such a shocking avator.

and it is not funny to pick such a name to flame peace and love, anonymous.
Posted 19 years ago2004-10-26 11:56:18 UTC Post #69554
It is either P&L just being generally weird and flaming himself, as both names resemble each other.

Or more likely it's anonymous being a retard, as the anonymous and P&L argument is supposed to be over, he is carrrying it on under a different name.

ARGH! Who cares about performance! That isn't important at the moment. Ill will only map that part you see in the picture. Everything behind won't be mapped, since i have no idea how it looks like.

yeah, i agree pepper. but if you read that a little closer, you can see that he is actually making a sarcastic attempt at a flame towards me. here too: http://cariad.co.za/twhl/forums.php?pgt=1&action=viewthread&id=5378&pg=1

it's just "you know who" with a fake account trying to save face. he cant let his beating go... but no one cares, so he made an account to stick up for himself.

i wouldn't have mentioned it here, but it was suggested that i was the culprit and i just wanted to clear things up.
Posted 19 years ago2004-10-26 16:19:46 UTC Post #69602
Actually, WaH's name made me laugh at first.

His posts didn't.

As for performance, I'm not worried about your map, Muzzle... ;)
Posted 19 years ago2004-10-26 16:36:00 UTC Post #69607
I believe I have chosen the lighthouse. There are no pictures of the inside of Battersea and thus it is pointless to map. The lighthouse on the otherhand probably has a basic inside.

This brings up the question, how is judging to be done? Will it be based on how accurately the map reflects the picture, or how well it is based off it. Because in mine, I'm feeling like doing the interior of the lighthouse and placing a rocky edge off to water on the side.
Posted 19 years ago2004-10-27 02:19:35 UTC Post #69669
Would that be my map Cap'n P? :P

I don't plan to let you actually play it though...enter the trigger_camera!

Good to see this thread get back on topic after a certain idiots decided to turn this thread into a flame war thread.

Good to see PaLO has the maturity to ignore him, and that we can all get back on track.

As long as you're able to keep the high-poly area's out of sight, then that's no problem off course.

Mhh, I should start making some textures and models soon...

That's gonna be damn hard seeing as the High Poly area is the main attraction! Func_wall may come in handy though...

Bullsh*t! (lol) You can have about 1500 w_poly and 6000 e poly before it gets unplayable and laggy, on a half decent PC, I have GF2 and Athlon1800 and my PC sucks, yet I'll be able to run that fine.

So go nuts, no-one said it had to be a perfect example of balnced mapping, as we can choose whetehr we want to do it all through a camera, or the player.

You think his is bad.... wait till you see mine =/
Posted 19 years ago2004-10-27 06:08:54 UTC Post #69728
As long as it runs decent on my machine I don't have trouble with it. Be sure it runs fine on the machines of the judges, though... ;)
Posted 19 years ago2004-10-27 07:27:25 UTC Post #69743
ah well, I haven't got any reference pictures that exactly match what I've made, so I'm not expecting to get very far, so if they can't play it, aw shucks :P

Well, that's the trouble. Both Andy and I have sucky video cards. Afaik, Andy has a 16MB card, and I have an Nvidia Vanta 16MB.....

Hehe.... :P

Trapt wonders who that was

Apparently, the judges decision was unanimous. Both Andy and Seventh agreed straight away.

Well, that's what I was told anyway. Whether it's true or not is another thing. Trapt looks at Alex strangely

hazardous!, I've only started a little now. You still stand a good change. It'd be good to see you join!

Would make the competition not only interesting but also hard to beat... ;)

WOW! I see you all have great maps!

but, I have something to counter that...

A map with no manmade objects in the middle of the woods.

Muhahahaa!

But he said in teh middle of teh woods, so it's already in the woods?!

I'm very confused.

Perhaps he means a bunch of pidgeons in the shape of a pentagram

I think Atom/Andy should add and "Edit" button wich allowes us to edit our own posts.

Back on topic please, what do you think?

edit button would be good, but some people would use it for evil.

That Hammer shot is so good I thought I'd clicked on teh top one again#! ;)

Looks really good man, I'm impressed.

The texes are pretty much spot on, the white concrete is a bit too white, but I only say that cos the rest of it looks so perfect.

Can't wait for more.

"That Hammer shot is so good I thought I'd clicked on teh top one again#!"

ROFL! Thats a god sign, it means im doing a great job. :) Thanks!

Yeah, i can make the white thingies a bit darker, but i got to find a suitable texture for that first. Would be no problem. Wait until you see an ingame shit... This evening maybe. :)
