Some screenies of my new MaDa memorial level. I didn't much care for the last two... three... however many that I made, but this one seems to be working quite nicely so far (other than some annoying HOM).

Augh! Water! BLUE!
Seriously though, tone down the blue in that water texture. Make it transparent or something.

Other than that it looks like a good start.

The water looks like the fuel in my old JK Invasion contest level. :P

I just thought of a great idea - perhaps you could create a cog that teleports the player, when he steps inside the building, to a duplicate of the building somewhere else out in the level. Currently, the memorial looks tiny from the outside, but using this method you could create the illusion that there's a 5,000 square foot mansion inside that tiny little building! Provided the coordinates matched up, as well as the pitch, yaw, and rol, and there was no sound to alert the player, you could pull it off perfectly, plus it would really lend some magic to your level.

:/ MB, those are the textures with which he's working for the purpose of the level, and at least I believe that editing them would be a departure from that purpose.

Is that 3do or archi terrain? And WHAT are you using fort he sky? A heightmap?!

Actually, what I have right now is an elevator in the little building that goes down to a big underground complex (that I haven't started yet).

As for the sky and water, those are the only sky/water textures that I could find that MaDa made. If anyone knows of any others that he did, I would be more than happy to use them. (I can't make the water transparent because that makes it HOM like crazy)

... since water reflects predominantly sky, which is blue. So, to answer your question, since forever.

Small bodies of water aren't very blue though. Making it translucent should help a lot.

Exactly, but the sky is black and white in the shots.

(Not that I did not have blue water in a level with red/brown sky, but others must learn from my mistakes :D)

Actually that's better IMO. Water in your first image is REALLY blue . Not even out in the middle of the Pacific, bright sunny day will you water that blue.

JG, you're not seing the shreds of un-transluscensed water texture are you? I think it's fine how it is..

I once did a cog like that, actually it was a hyper-cube. I was trying to make a duplicate of the player, but due to lack of mimicking animations (lack of cog skill at the time) I didn't finish it. It copied every weapon/object/player that was in the sector into the other sector.

It would be a piece of cake to create a teleport cog that keeps you in the same position in the room after transport. (I also made a gou'uld ring transporter that does this EXACT thing, but with only weapons and people.)


BTW. It looks great, but I agree that the blue has to go. I would suggest a grey color water since the sky is a blackish color (water color is a reflection of the sky.)

Actually, after checking the resolution of those pics, you're going to need to either lower the size to 640x480 or up it to 800x600. SotD has to go by a 4/3 ratio. I'd hate to see this get passed up just because it was the wrong ratio. :-/

Definitely deserves SotD/SotW/SotWhatever time it takes for the admin to update it... Of the latest two shots, I pick the first; that angle is the best one for displaying the area; it gives the best perspective on the textures as well.
