wow... and btw; your framerate is quite high for such an incredible amount of detail..what are your system specs?

------------------
In case you didn't notice in the post above; my English teacher is NOT my best friend...

Specs:

AMD Athlon XP 2800+ (333MHz FSB)
Asus A7N8X Del. motherboard
512mb PC2100 (holding me over until I get my 1024mb of PC2700 back from Crucial, it's on an RMA adventure)
Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb

------------------

YES!

All sex jokes aside, your level is turning out really well. I hope the story is just as great as the aesthetics.

That's the basic structure for the courtyard. I'll be adding some more stuff in, as well as NPCs and such, once I get an idea about r_speeds. I'm not quite done yet, as I need to add in the building which will house the command center (where you'll need to go to get the ball rolling on the rest of the level), as well as what I'm thinking shall be a row of 3 or so hangars... maybe. We'll see .

I like the walkways.

BTW Gonk, wou wouldn't mind showing a person where you got that 1337 XP theme, would you?

And why do you have a toolbar with only one button?

Ehehe... that level is so neat... How much of this roughly are you done (in %s)?

------------------
The Mega-ZZTer's Gaming Haven! - Under Construction
NEW! PHP implementation underway!

I'd say I'm roughly 10-12% done with what I want to do with the level... I'll probably split the entire setting up into multiple levels.

As for the theme.. I use a program called StyleXP for that. Run a google search on it, it's made by a company called TGT Software or somesuch.

------------------

Nice place! Do you wish it was your summer cottage?

Emon; it is helpfull in that it will tell me not if it is pretty, which it most certainly is, but if it is constructed properly, which it may or may not be.

I like what I am seeing right thurr.

Actually, Cazor, I am hoping this will be a pretty, properly constructed example I can use. There are too many people like you who attach a stigma to everything I make just because I'm an arrogant *******.

Emon; I could give you the obvious answer, that everyone who isn't just like me is quite wrong, but, well. I'm too much of a jack *** to stick around for the flame war I'd cause. You should know that by now.

As for your idea of making stuff detail after major construction - take the time to plan what will be detail and what won't in advance, and you will find you have much better results.

...It's not exactly hard to figure out what should and shouldn't be detail. Besides, if a few brushes are left structural, it will affect BSP size, compile times, but not performance.

Looks pretty amazing. Nice system specs, btw.

------------------
I'm the Christian the devil warned you about.

Actually; it does affect performance. For all intents and purposes, a BSP portal is the same as a an adjoin in JK. Less adjoins is better, right?


I'm the other one, right Cazor?

you probably are JM .

But at least unlike lotsa the arrogant people here, you can admit it .

Not exactly. In JK, it does on-the-fly calculations to determine what should be drawn. It uses an algorithm similar to Quake, except that it's considerably less efficient, and it shows when your framerate drops while "looking through more adjoins".

In Quake, however, a visibility list is calculated by the compiler. The engine looks to the visibility list to see which leaf nodes should be drawn depending on which leaf node it is in.

Bassoon, n. A brazen instrument into which a fool blows out his brains.

Exactly. Not exactly yes; but not exactly no. The analogy might not be perfect, but it's true enough.

You, Emon? I like you too much to explain everything that is wrong with you thinking that.

My ego can't be crushed. I think my sig explains that well enough. Besides; you haven't yet proved me wrong. You did prove me atleast partially right. Good enough for me.

The bsp tree itself will be more iffecient; the portals are an implementation detail of the vis process. Fewer portals means a smaller vis table, which does effect framerate.
