"Then let us hope... that I was wrong."

starting to look cool now, and just out of curiosity, how long would it take to walk all the way around the outer highway? its looking very very good, and i'm gonna be looking forward to see how well the continuous flow from the movie is achieved in that level.

mmm, smells like something burning.

Just over 3min 30secs in the median. So it might be close to 5 mins on the outermost lane.

Your level isn't going to be the only one with cars, right? There will be cars going by on multiple roads, for ambience, like those overheads no one can get on?

The traffic will drive on the large track only, most likely. I might be able to get them to work on the highest onramps that dont change height and dont have curves, but definately not on the very curvy ones in the middle. Its just not going to be possible to mimmic acual cars going up an angle and a curve. (at least not with func_trains) I think we are pushing it when we are going to try to make dozens of cars driving all at one time even on the large track already, so i will see what i can do.

ok Cazor you must have really peeved off all administrators. Because all your shots are more than SotD worthy and still I see nothing on teh front page.

Get this boy a sodding SOTD!
Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}
2003-09-09, 10:20 AM #134
Hrmmm... well im not sure if its SOTD quality (yet). once i get the portal sky in and the green tint with the skybox... then i could be okay with it [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif] But then again im the author so i prolly dont think its all that special :P Ah well... maybe you are right and they are all dead or something [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

First I thought there was gonna be yet another page to this thread without any new pics.... but I'm glad I was wrong.

I like the added detail but... green from the skybox is nice, but the shaded areas won't be tinted, correct? I don't know of any sun paramater that can do that, or even any compiling option......

A tiny bit of green ambient light might do the trick.

The skybox isnt even close to the one that will be used, which also means it wont have the same areas shaded. (most likely it will light all of the area with minimal shadows like in the movie) Im not sure that with JA's new shader stuff that a green tint could be done with the sun in the skybox, so i will have to wait and see. If not, then i will prolly just add it with a lightmap or ambient.

Add the cars, a green tint (if possible), and an appropriate skybox and you'll have SOTD. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

One thing I'm concerned about is framerates. What are your machine specs and what is the framrate when you go through this? Especially once you add the car AI, it might lag a lot.

Well it doesnt matter what my JO framerates were (~50 when i was looking at all the overpasses) Once JA is out i can get you a framrerate that you can care about [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]
