Anyway, i was trying to create an abandonded industrial base sorta lvl when i had a light bulb appear over my head at work, (i work in a sawmill and was looking at the sucker pipes, thats the pipe the sawdust gets sucked up in on its way to the hoppers) Anway, i came up with a method of creating curving pipes, almost to rival JO standards, well thats what i think, so give me your opinon on the design, and if you think i should actually finish the level and publish it.

Here it is www.geocities.com/icecube24uk/Jshot009


btw , just copy n psate the link into your browser, the link never ********* works with geo for sum ******** reason!

Looks great. I really like that level, and the caution sign. Especially considering I've never seen you before, which eludes me bacuse you have 52 posts and have been here for a little under a year. One would think I'd have seen you... Hmmm. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/rolleyes.gif]

not to shabby... the level looks go so far... as for geocities, i think if you rename the file extension to .txt instead of .jpg or .gif it will show up fine

I thought that curved pipes had been possible in JK for a long time. I've mades some with the tutorials at this site, and they dont distort textures like in JO. This looks like nothing new to me. Unless those are sectors instead of 3dos.

The textures seem really mismatched and random. The pipes are okay...nothing really new. With some work it could become a really great level. It kind of reminds me of that Urban Terror level, Streets of Justice.

is that 3do or archi?

If it's archi, you've got me intrigued, That's gotta be a lot of adjoins [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif].

And yeah, JM's right, the technique has been around for a while, it's just a matter of the number of surfaces of the cylinder and the resolution of the curve (i.e using 18 5 degree turns rather than 6 15 degree turns).

Well, sry to disappoint any1 who might like to have seen this lvl be released, but it got the old heave-ho! the pipes where 3DO's and the 'curveature' was seperate 3DOS. They lined up gd enough, the only prob was that some of the 3DO's tended to dissapear :S and the textures where mince. So i scraped it. Might start it again with better textures and more thought process, but im gona finish my other level and re-release it for the time being!

So basically, the bends were nothing new, and we got all excited over a cluttered level that didn't have the propper alignment of one 3do per sector? That dissapoints me greatly. Should have known with a geocities hosted shot though. Oh well.

JediKirby, [Try and use a nicer word, like not insulting]. Really, try.

The bends look good, but as stated above it has indeed been done before. Still, they are nice pipes.

..kirb, he has been on massassi since 2001, so i wouldn't call him a newbie. Besides, the final part of the post WAS pretty harsh. You could've just said "Use the EC on massassi, it's made for this!! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]" See what i mean?

The level looks quite good but needs a few texture and lighting tweaks. The curved pipes in both 3do and architecture have been around for ages. That's not to say that you shouldn't release the map. I hope you start over and recreate your level more intelligently, as you said you may do. Good luck.

Someone who isn't intelegent enough to follow the rules. You broke the rules by calling me a '**ck'.

I wasn't harsh at all, just honest. If he can't take honesty, then that's too bad. I expect harsh opinions on my threads, at least then I can actually acheive something rather then suttle suggestions. No excess 'Well, it looks ok, but' just simply the point. At least I wasn't down right idiotic and said 'd00d,that su><0rs', or 'd00d, that ro><0rs j00!' when it's been done a million times.

Do you two (GBK, Emon) always have to fight?

It's a nice level, nothing new, but it doesn't need anything new.
The 3do problem was most likely because they were in seperate sectors. Ask GBK for his cog that can fix it, and ignore Emon when he says it's a hack.
