there's a key on your keyboard that says "Print Screen" or "Print Scrn". The name already suggests some things. It prints the screen. Go into paint and past, to get the screen into paint. then save.

I don't know if anyone has posted this because I am too lazy to read through 4 pages,so pardon my ignorance. But I think it is a bad sign if your skybox looks more realistic/3d tha Anyways, other than that a MP level with vehicles sounds good to me so do not quit this just because of terrain issues in your level.

What? Patches kill framerate? Wow, never noticed.

Learn how to use them, and they cause about no slowdown, but look tons better.

forget it... im going with brushes..
but now i got that "brush with unbounded volume" error again..
crud..

It means there's a leak in your level somewhere. You have to make sure that there's no places in your level that open up to the 'void' outside your level. Also, make sure no detail brushes are misused where structural brushes ought to be.

It's fine that you're going with brushes, in fact, I would probably recomend it for this level. Just make sure the terrain is somewhat believeable and make sure you use vertex lighting for the terrain brushes rather than lightmaps. This will cause the terrain to look much more natural.

DON'T REVIVE DEAD THREADS.

Especially crappy dead threads.

Here's a suggestion: Start a new map.

Terrain. Learn to use it, and we will all be very happy indeed.

I won't. That means the indoor building suck even more in comparison.

EDIT: And Kirby is right. There are better looking JK levels.

Make terrain... Use easyGen. Also, go outside, and look around. Is evverything flat and boxy? NO! EasyGen is very easy to use, so why won't you use it?

Use color lighting.

Put in forms of brushes.

Use models.

Be creative.

Have a constant theme.

Hackysack or whatever you name is, I myself being a n00b, will say, from a n00b to a n00b, i would do what gothix said. Start with a smaller level, a dual level pehaps, and focus on details, working out your problem, messing around with lighting, arches, and all that stuff. Do this and do not post your work, work every thing out first, then remake your map in it's finest form.

Arkon is right. But I should mention that you must balance the gameplay and the level form. Don't go "onesided"

Okay, look. About the terrain: forget EasyGen and Gensurf. The best way to do sand dunes and snow are by simple patch meshes. To do that, go into Curves > Simple Patch Mesh... For the size of your outside area, I'd say about 2 patch meshes with 15 wicth divisions and height divisions. Select the patch mesh, press V, select the vertices, and move like mad. Line the patch meshes up so there is no gap between them. To fix the textures, select the patch mesh and press Shift + S. Easy, looks good for sand (If you make them noticable, make big dunes, not little dinky ones.)

Go. Do it. Post screenshots when done.

Okay this post really discusted me awile back: hatchyyack. NEVER. hype or Brag about your map. first off you need to work on the lighting. Unlit maps suck. Second your map is all one big box. And now this really got me And shows bad. NEVER ask what objects you should use that is a stupid question okay
