So here's my screenshot. meh.

[http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/11234.jpg]

I'd provide more, but JO won't give me anything but black screens for screenshots ever since I upgraded to my Radeon 9700 (Yes, I removed all nVidia drivers and reinstalled JO). I used Print Screen to get this pic to you.

There will be more, and I am planning on it being an underground base. This particular bridge is mover lava.

beh. Input is appreciated.

Ah well, its late, and past my bed time. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

The walls and ceiling look good but I don't really like that checker-board floor. Maybe more of a grate-type thing, or just glass.

Yeah... dont use printscreen


Go to your console and type this in it:

/bind [key you want to press for a screenshot] screenshot

(i use k for screenshot... i dont know why)

If it is in MP, then leave the "/" in front of "bind". but if its SP take the "/" out.

Then press the key you bound in that command above and then go to your JO folder in base and then go to screenshots and viola! fully lit screenshots of all the times you pressed the screenshot key from above.


Looking good!

But Cazor he didn't say he had a problem with the screenshot bind, he said he had a problem with the actual screenshots coming out black. As for that I have no solution, unfortunately. Did you run something like DetonatorDestroyer or something Joren? And then uninstall and reinstall the Catalyst 3.4 drivers?

As for the level, liking everything but the floor. Checkboard just seems odd. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Just be grateful you don't get a blank screen in-game. :P Looks good! I like the floor, just maybe tone down the red. (Is it even lightmapped)?

Go to your Display Properties, then go into the advanced settings. Completely turn off your anti-aliasing.

My Radeon 8500 screws up my screenshots when I have FSAA on, so that might be the cause of your problem as well.

Anyways, I agree with what everyone else said. Ditch the checkerboard floor.

Before you kill the checkerboard completetly, try putting see through grating over top of the lava parts.

Why would it be lightmapped? It's lava.

Yeah thats better, but add a little bridge or something down the middle...a room like that could break up gameplay badly and I mean...who would build something like that in reality? hehe.

Um, Power? they aren't holes. Its glass.

Ah, well you can't tell from the shot...I suggest making them open and having the bridge...again...glass covering lava pits is a bit "out there" (wouldnt the glass melt!?)

I hope you're joking...really I do. Otherwise, I just feel sorry for you. Carefully, look up at who posted the level. Now, look at who you just said that to. Notice any similarities? I hope so.

Joren: Looks great, but the lava still isn't doing it for me. My suggestion is to have 2 narrow strips, side by side, down the middle of the hallway, with a grating on top. Also, get rid of the green button-y things on the walls. They clash with everything else. Lastly, maybe make the hallway a little more red.

Good job, overall.

Well I believe Joren mostly maps for MP, and MP maps are allowed to be totally unrealistic.

Ok, Yeah, I was thinking about changing the green things.

on the grating - I tried grating, and it just doesn't look quite right to me. I prefer the look of glass. I will make some further tweaks on it, though.

On the Lava - Anyone know a better Lava shader or texture? The one below is one I made, kinda, and its too red for my tastes.

That, and I just want to clear up that there is no way for you to fall in the lava here - its just a bridge with some transparency on the floor to view the lava below, no holes or cracks to fall through. That's why the room is more orangish tint than red - its a little higher up.
