...until the day that I found you...

After that horrid song, the reason I used it was I had a cool dream last night that I woke up and even now (some 16 hours later) remember vividly, it's worthy of a map so here is the WIP of my dream.





Don't forget I only had this dream today so it's very early, needs far more on the surface (that top-side is a dig site, they were digging for a lost city) so I'll be adding the digger I dreamt...rather interesting one.

This is a very cool idea for a map. If you can integrate the dig site and the lost underground city well, this will simply rock! The screens look great so far!

There is a shaft leading from the consoles u can just about see in the 2nd shot down into the first shot. I've been working until just about now on the rest of the surface, mountained the area, added a new room and also set off part of the map to lead to the main building where I was held prisoner in my dream -_- and I STILL don't know why! I think I was tresspassing on the dig site with my 15 co-workers....

Anyone want to model and bone me a dragon to rampage the underground tunnels or would that just be too close to my dream? lol

The terrain is ****ing sexy as hell. Nice work.

------------------
I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

Detailed more of the surface, added fallen rocks around the cliffs, added a sky portal with forcefield (give it that bio-dome off-world effect).

Anyone know of a good digger prefab/model? And I really am serious about the dragon if anyone can point me to a low poly model!

Where'd you find that dirt texture? I like it.

------------------
I'll admit to Reactor CTF, Duel Abyss, and even the CCCP, but not Sky High! (my first, be kind!) Ok so maybe I will.

There was a dragon made for an LotR level for JO... I don't think it got put in. The dragon's name was R-something... anyways I think Cazor had something to do with it.

Sure Wade, keep on dreaming.

I wish I had dreams like you. *sulks*

Gonna speak to Cazor about the dragon, hopefully will be able to get it and get it skinned and boned - does anyone else feel wrong saying "I'm going to bone a player"?

I really really want that dragon in!

Still looking for the digger/forklift truck prefab...if anyone knows of one!

You might be able to modifythis with a scoop or something.. The updated terrain looks gerat, BTW!

What is the purpose of the lights there? To lighten that little dip there?

It's a dig site, so at night they'd want to be able to see down the hole, I'm going to add a few things down there as well such as a protruding mosaic floor and a dino bone.

Freelancer, that was made by an aquaintance of mine, BXpress, it looks superb...but it is totally uncaulked so you either leave it as is and end up with max_map_visibility/extremely long compile times or you set it all to detail and let it kill FPS....It's 1652 brushes so I don't feel like caulking it! Thanks for trying tho

dragon's finished if someone would want to skin and animate him...

------------------
gree gree.

Ok you so have to send me that over! If I can't find anyone to make a skin, I'll do it. Same goes for boning him up, I am determined to "fulfil my dream" here and I'm not too bad at skinning now.

Can you get in touch please, on MSN: eternus_insilenti@hotmail.com, on AIM: wadev666, on Yahoo: wadevalentine1589

Or you can compile with Q3map2 and not worry about the caulk.

In any situation where I appear to be false, I assure you I am correct. In such a case, it is, in fact, reality that is mistaken.

I suggest you increase the density of triangles on your terrain. You can see some of those nasty wedge looking spots that stick up, changing that would help smooth it out.

I'm trying to keep the map running smooth so the current face count is my limit. Everytime I get annoyed with a bit of the terrain I just smooth it out anyway. Right now I'm satisfied enough to leave it. Once I add stuff like the diggers, equipment and so on it will already be enough detail.

As for "Or you can compile with Q3map2 and not worry about the caulk."....it doesn't autocaulk detail brushes well if they touch other detail brushes. So when it comes to that crane - linked to above - it needs to be caulked manually. If you leave it as structural brushes it makes the vis data go through the roof.


I've taken to modelling my own stuff for it now anyway, almost finished a digger tractor which I'm gonna make into a vehicle just for the hell of it, ride tractors around, how totally pointless but fun if you see someone to run over.

Why; that's just wrong. I do hope you have the latest version of it, and you actually tested it.

You're right, I never read anywhere Q3Map2 had started caulking detail brushes that were totally obscured so just presumed it still wasn't implemented.

On another note Murc XIII where are ya man? Want to speak to you about that dragon still!

EDIT: Nevermind...just check your email.
