Shall we all start earlier next year? =P
And I'm not saying I'm high and mighty, I was feeling the time pressure too.

Heh, I infact started as early as this was announced, but then left it half finished, since it seemed there's a lot of time left. Work and uni got the better of it, and now I'll have to cut corners

My visleaves are a mess and it's a pain in the ass to optimize the thing.

If I had done mine in Source, my recipient would be getting a concrete room with a light... maybe.

Just got a leak.

Post #301768
Overblock the outer parts of your map. Fill in the negative spaces with brushes and use large blocks to generalize the outer profiles of your map. I do it all of the time. I haven't too many problems with leaks since thickening out parts of maps.
Tricky, its not like you can post it to the problem maps vault either... :/

I rely heavily on the pointfile. It didn't disappoint me this time either. Also, my map is starting to take shape, and I'm really happy about this.
Btw, what's the console command for viewing leaves, if that's possible?
[EDIT] I can't believe this. By strategically placing one hint plane across the open area, I have reduced possibly hours of vis compiling to 1 second.

I almost never use the pointfile, and heavily rely on the big block method like rimmeh. I also use the big blocks for cordoning as well when necessary.
Posted 12 years ago2011-12-18 20:43:34 UTC
Post #301775
I do both methods. Leak? Big block the last large area built. Didn't work? Look at pointfile. Didn't work either? Big block more or cordon a smaller area.
Yay extension

I use these two methods in unision. Usually if the compiler tells me I have a leak, there's bound to be another somewhere too.

I don't think I'll be doing anything else with mine. I really need to get back into mapping for The Core full time.

Tetsu, you keep talking about a spreadsheet but I can't for the life of me find it anywhere in this thread. I've gone back to the start and read all the posts but they are all outdated ones that you havn't updated.
Also, I can receive all games. HL, HL2, EP1, EP2

Well it's not shared, it has all the information about who can map for what, who can receive for what, what the assignments are, what the map links from my host are..
so to speak its proprietary information
everything's all organized, don't you worry. I've checked this thread 6x over to make sure i have everything straight.
And it's a bit late for the receive list - your author has probably already started his map

I feel that there was enough time, unless you're doing something huge. You just have to learn to manage your time properly and prioritize.

I have just a bit more... just a bit more *awfully tired- forced maniacal smile
I will finish it by tomorrow evening. Or just before evening. I hope. I am really sorry for being so late.

stojkens: honestly, nobody should be spending over 2 months working on something liket this. it's just a little fun coop project; we should have set a time limit to like 2 weeks or something, like a spending limit for real secret santa =)
Yeah striker don't stress, i think your recipient will be forgiving if you map isn't a complete masterpiece (unless of course it's for me, then i will accept nothing less)
