that waterfall looks cool,
other than that it doesnt look like anything new. The Orange seems toned down a bit, which is nice.
my only thing about it is those white textures you have everywhere. The white ones with the flowerlike thing are a bit overdone I think.

Perhaps not in February. It works perfectly in JASP, but everything is broke in JAMP. I hate Raven.

Wow. That looks amazing. The oarnge fog really adds alot. I do think that the white flower type thing does stand out a bit too much to be in as many places as it is. I suggest making it more of a carving into the stone then such a drastic color change.

the flower thing? It really doesn't look like a light right now.

Why does the water look excluded from the orange light?

My only gripe: The waterfall looks unrealistic. It's a solid ribbon that maintains its shape and width all the way down. The only way it would look like that is if it had a path to guide it down, it wouldn't do that in mid-air. Fix that and you have the most amazing level ever.

People seem to be flaming the water fall. I love it. Dark Knight has a point though, you might want to make it become wider after it goes down that little ramp or something, if you care about little details like that, which by looking at your level i would say you do.

No, flaming would be outright insulting it. There's no reason we can't express our opinions on his work in order to help him. I know JM would rather have constructive criticism than a bunch of unhelpful blabber about how awesome it is.

Look at that. A light. Emitting light. ...

And Emon is right - but I wouldn't mind some blathering too.

The problem was that none of the textures showed up in JAMP; but I've fixed it.

There will be an FFA and a duel version. The duel version is just one chamber; the ffa version is the whole deal.

Gonk: You have met your match.

This level has such unbelievable atmosphere. Shame it isn't a SP level, I would LOVE to whoop up on some reborn in there.

Forgot to mention: This level reminds me a helluva lot like Metroid Prime. And that is a very, very good thing.

Better? The waterfall was changed slightly. The pool is a work-in-progress. Flowing water is little better then a hack in the Q3 engine.



Not sure where you mean.



Gonk met me a long time ago.
It's very small. I don't have the time to put this much work into an entire SP level.
Of course it reminds you of Metroid Prime; that is one of the sources of inspiration.

Note: This is the duel version. You'll notice it's missing the hallway on the top-left, and the obilisk. It needed to be smaller for duel mode, and it needed a larger fighting area.

Aye, tis a beauty, that...

But i ask again: can it make a Duckbutter Casserole?


------------------
Americans call it "Tuna Fish". Canadians call it "Tuna". We just assume that it's a fish.

The waterfall seems a little out of place since it is blue, while the rest of the level has an orange-brown hue, and espically because blue and orange are opposites on the color wheel. Other than the color, the waterfall seems fine to me. The rest of the level is fantastic.

Maybe its just me, but the waterfall doesn't look discolored at all to me. Looks like how blue water should look in oarnge fog. And its not an Austin Powers map with all the flowers anymore. Love the changes man, waterfall does look alot better, and i wont' comment on the pool since u said u r still workin on it.

The room looks better without that flower like texture, but they still dont look like they are lights. It just looks like the floor happens to be bright in front of them.

I like the yellow crystals. They look like solidified Sulfur.

My quote: "People choose to side with the left, and the others choose to side with the right. I go forward."

SM_Sith_Lord, it looks out of place because water isn't blue. It only appears blue because it reflects the sky. Inside, it's clear, like in your sink. In a place like that, it would probably have a bit of an orange tint to it.

JM, I suggest you do some multitexturing on the waterfall, at least two layers of one or two textures, and have them move at different speeds. Also make some EFXs of falling water/mist and line them up with the fall, it'll make it a lot more convincing.

JM: I meant, in the upper right of your first shot, the wall in between the two walls slanting back. I guess it wasn't as flush with the camera as I had thought.

Yes... I think you might actually be right.

I'll make the water orangeyer.


The waterfall IS all that. You just can't see the animation because it's a still image. And there is mist. I actually held off showing the waterfall off until I figured out how to get the mist in there.


Theres like... a walkway there... eh? You mean in the center? You just can't see the light on the floor because the floor is a grate.


No. It just 'pulses'. Look at the stairs. See how they are brighter in the first shot then the second?

How many of these do I have to post before I get SOTD?

I removed the pulsing effect because trying to time the screenshot taking to when they glowed just wasn't working.

Waterfall is now dead-on. Don't change a thing. Or I will come to your house, and I will cut you.

That is all.

Ah yes, that explains the "missing" light.

For the EFX, it'll take some tweaking, but you can rig the particles so they fall down and to the side (use relative positioning and target the fx_runner to a target). Be sure it accelerates due to gravity and doesn't just fall. It's easy to look at a real waterfall and tell that the water at the top is moving much slower than it is at the bottom, and water that moves at uniform speeds in game is always just soo fake looking. Also I'd suggest using a custom texture for the water, perhaps modify an existing one and fade away the edges a bit with an airbrush (make it a noisy brush to simulate mist), because the water would probably break up a little around the edges.

I also think you should try to make the crystals less uniform and more natural looking. Vary the height, width and shape, etc.

You should also put dynamic glow on any glowy stuff. Maybe Raven's next patch, if there is one, will make it no super slow.

Edit: Okay, this post showed up after your new ones.

I suggest you make the water more translucent. Right now it looks like it's glowing.

And are the lightsyles gone perminantly? I hope not, they're rather underused...

Get rid of that black ledge in that pic and you might get SotD.

Maybe add a shader to make the crystals shiny.

...or is that what the dynamic glow does? Probably.
