Incredible. It looks so awesome, but I don't necessarily think Theed when I see it. It doesn't matter, it's all beautiful. Also, how'd you do all of those buildings outside in the first shot? Sprites?

The textures seem to shiny and overdone to be anywhere near realistic. Like that metal texture in the second shot, or the drapes in the first. It feels like, you've seranwrapped the place, just covered it in shiny plastic. There is a texture that looks pretty good tome, the windows in the first shot, which fits quite well to the cleaves. As for the buildings, the ones in the windows on the left half seem to be sectors. Possibly accessable areas. On the right, 3do sprites from the looks of the edges (Sound wrong Sith_Lord?) Uhm, and yeah, doesn't really seem like Theed. Color/texture schemes seem off.

I get the whole "wrapped in plastic" feel from the first screen too, but not so much in the others. I have trouble adding that "real life" feel to my textures, i personally think they are a bit too cartoony. But i figured, since i'm making all the textures used in my level anyways, atleast they will match and it will look like a cartoony Theed (i hope).

You were right about the buildings Mr. SniperWolf. They are low-poly 3do's infront of sprites for the far away buildings. The result looks pretty nice, and is far better then i thought it would be when i set off to make the city. Unfortunently, none of the city is accessible, only there for environment. I was sick of the Theed levels that had nothing but grassy hills around the palace. Here are some angles that show the buildings a bit better for those of u who haven't seen them already...







And from up high on a palace rooftop:


As for the textures not screaming "Theed" to you, I admit that i over did it with the colorfullness in the textures in that 1st screen. The last two screens has textures from a set i made for the interior of the library, so hopefully the change between the movie themed Theed based textures to the interior library textures won't be TOO drastic. As for the other screens, those follow the scheme I made for the reactor room, because the area in those screens is actually part of the reactor room.



Btw, thanks for the feedback. And please keep it commin'.

That green marble texture doesn't look so bad. Lower the contrast. I can see where you're going wrong kinda. When you're trying to add texture to single color areas, you're adding large variations in lighting, usually long streaks of lighting. Don't, just overlay a basic texture, matched to whatever the surface is, to apply some texturing, but keep the general color of the area the same. Lowering the contrast/saturation may help that as well, and adding a bit of grain can too, that'll depend on the texture though. Does look pretty good. The color scheme does look off to me though. I'm sure you can find pictures of this place. I don't remember what exactly it's called, but it's some palace, Italian palace, I believe. Good work. (Not trying to say it's bad, just suggesting improvements, lol)

Oh, one thing I just noticed, in the first shot, the alignment of the bottom of the drapes is just slightly off. You can see a thin line where the bottom of the surface is. Very slight, didn't notice the first couple times I looked at the pic.

looks like serious humpage to me

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){

elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Sniper: That little line pisses me off. Its not a texture misalignment, its something JK does for some crazy reason. It replaces the last row of pixels of any texture of any surfaces with the 1st row of pixels (this is the reason why u can't make a sky box just a cube). I think i can get around it, i just need to get around to it. Thanks for the advice on the textures. I'm new to this texture making stuff, i just hope that my experience increasing doesn't show in the level, know wut i mean? And i HOPE the window texture looks good. I ripped it from a screen i took from my Episode I DVD.

Ah so he IS alive. All this time I thought you left massassi.


Amazing archi and textures as always.


Oh.. and have you ditched SMHQ then?

------------------
<Glyde> but.. you can't pick pickled peppers, even if a pickled pepper picker could pick pickled peppers!

Yeah, I'M done with SM HQ. I released that version and gave all the production files to my clan. If they want to make a revision 2, its on them.

And I never left, just got banned. I was unbanned in the recent uber unbanning. Massassi is so boring when all you can do is download and look at the SotD.

love the blue-ish and green-ish textures in #6 in your first post

Heh, you should be able to fix that line. It's from how JK does bilinear filtering, it takes the nearest pixel on the mat it's working on(which in this case is the red one on the opposite side of the drape mat), rather than the actual nearest pixel, which may well be on the next texture over if it's next to a non-tiling mat.

What you need to do is make the edge pixels of your mat the same, in this case the very top line of pixels need to be transparent. The bottom parts of the drapes however, where it droops down, touches the bottom of your mat, which will mean you'll have small uneven smears of red at the top of the drape, but the bottom part won't have the line anymore. If you want a smooth upper edge you're going to have to have a transparent bottom edge.

After that move the mat up a bit on the surface so there isn't a gap at the top anymore.

hehe purgatory is probably still my favourite jk level.
what did you get banned for?

Oh I noticed you've padded out those green textures with greyish-stuff, I'm not sure if all the grey stuff is exactly the same to the pixel, because if it isn't you'd have bilinear filtering lines in between those textures as they don't tile with themselves, which is the problem I've got in my level atm :/

you can't really see it good unless you crouch down though, then it becomes rather noticeable...

Good ****ing god.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I was thinking of fixing it GHORG. Thanks for explaining how that pixel looping thing works, i was having troulbe figureing it out.

As far as the release date goes, don't stay off your medication in inticipation of the release. Aside from the visual part of the level having to be completed, AoT also has something that i'm calling "Sub-Missions". They are hidden team based mini-games that follow the story line. By the time all the sub missions are activated and played out, the level will not only grant access to areas that are not normally accessible, but the over-all look of the level will be changed too. The thing is, making multiplayer missions requires LOTS of net testing, which takes time. So you got to give me time to work out the bugs.

But fear not, a good beta release (not the crapy kind that have tons of bugs) will be released far before the final version with the sub missions will be released. I may include one or two of the sub missions in the beta, it all depends on what state the system is at the time. I'm trying to do this thing right, like i have been trying to do since the 1st day i started this project, and I don't wanna rush myself by setting a release date. As it grows nearer, i'll let you guys know.

Whoa !!!

Without doubt, this is "uber utter swank" If this is the standard of work you're producing, I think I can force myself to wait until at least a beta release

Keep up the excellent work - aside from the fantastic visuals, call me daft but I enjoy seeing JED windows of projects that look as high-quality as this project I know we all have our editing niches, but I'd gladly swop some of my cog knowledge for your 3DO editing skills - those 3DOs truly make my mind boggle - I for one am glad that you're back editing JK!!! It's not many people whom I openly give permission to do this but boy - you can hit the jackpot with just the work you've done so far!!!

Hmm. I do remember Zymotico had a site with several models. Some enemies as well, I believe. (Might be useful, cause I remember you mentioning submissions or something on one of your other posts). Some of these were posted to Massassi, I believe. Uhm, yeah, JK/MOTS 3do's EP1_enemy EP1_3dos or something like that. Looked pretty good, it seemed.
