...And there was much wincing... :p

So I decided to start editing again, and started a level where you're a stormie, and rebs attack your base.... No scripting done yet, just a hangar.

Looks nice. Not too elaborate and not a gray box.
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

Nearly made soda come out my nose.

Nice hangar, all you have to work on is the rest of the level and getting the player to start as a Stormtrooper. (appropriate model, no sabre, Force powers, etc.) My suggestion is to have the player be a Stormtrooper commander, to slightly explain why you don't die as quickly as the others, but whatever. :p

Haha, I guess I accidentlly took a pic while i was being shot by a rocket.

I had nothing done so far except the hangar, and I added a bunch of stormies for some excitement. :D

I'm at school now, but when I get home I plan on adding some officer command rooms overlooking the hanger and hanger entrance. I also plan on adding a skybox that actually EMITS LIGHT.

Gah... I couldn't get anything done because I was at my friend's house all day, and he doesn't want to do anything with computers. Sooo I couldn't work on my level, and it's too late to work on it now.

More tomorrow, hopefully.

W00tles. Slight update.

Those windows lead to an officer control room that is finished, but I never added lights to it, so there is no point in showing it yet. :o

I realize that officer's area was a bit dark, so I just doubled the lighting now, and it's much brighter. :)

That last shot is of the hallway behind the door in the overlook, which overlooks the hanger. What a tie-in! Omg! :eek:

Looks nice, my only complaint would be that, those stairs of that kind, look way out of place in that place.

:( I thought they would look cool and spice up the room. Fine, I'll add some simple steps + railing...

Yeah, I redid them, so they are like a normal sideways staircase in the wall, and a railing was added identical to the ones on the platform above. I also have an elevator now, that leads from the hanger floor to the hallway shown in the last shot there. Whether or not it works will be decided in the next compile.

Pictures as soon as the compile is done. :)

[EDIT: Oo-er, I just saw the new TMU models... they make me lose faith in trying to make anything better than them. :o Anyways, here are some shots of the new stairs, hallway, and the WORKING elevator. :D

I also added two more elevators, each one leading up to thier respective TIE fighter rack, but they aren't really worth showcasing because they're exactly the same as the elevator shown above.

Get something special, such as tie predators and the like, some guy who i dont like's realeased a pack of 17 different tie vehicles on pcgamemods.

How would I do that? It's... an elevator! All it needs to do is carry people up and down...

And Boco, this is a small hanger, there is only room for 6 TIE fighters, there wouldn't be any special TIE models. Other hangers will carry Bombers and the like, if I ever make them.

Even more... I plan on having the level start out with you patrolling that outdoor area with your buddy, and you notice a couple of rebel ships heading towards base. You race to the base and arrive in time to find the rebel invasion starting, and you find a couple of buddies and fight.

This is my PLAN.

The aforementioned outdoor area:

I know, I need to add more stuff like trees, width and details to the base exterior, etc. Will do tomorrow.

I'm not quite sure about the choice of textures outside, but perhaps it looks better when lit. And the water should be coloured the same as the water in the distance/sky. Colourizing it in a paintingprogram probably suffices.

AHHH, not that yavin ground texture... KILL IT!
nope.
2004-10-25, 1:31 PM #26
Sorry about the water, I couldn't find a single actually good water texture, and the only one I found that scrolls properly is teh suck, and green. I need a texture that looks like the water in the distance. :(

As for the ground texture, it's not 'yavin', I found it in 'imperial'. O.o

Can someone point me to textures that they think would look best? I'm trying to make this a crowd pleaser, so I'm lketting them choose the best textures for this part. ;)

2004-10-25, 2:43 PM #27
The water in the background texture you're using starts to get grey/dark grey as it gets closer to the port where you have your stream/river. I suggest trying to change the color values of your water texture to get more of a grey out of it, or try to find one that is kind of greyish. I'll look around a bit and see what I can find.

Mwaarr! Even more! This time I improved and expanded on the outdoor area, and added to the base exterior. I've definetely got the entire bginning of the level playing out in my head now.

[http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/15082.jpg]

And here's what it would look like to the player if you were walking around out here.

[http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/15083.jpg]

Yes, those trees have no leaves. They do in the editor, but they don't show up in-game. I think it looks neat with all the dead trees, actually, and lends itself towards the barren landscape of the skybox. :D

You will note that I still desperately need a better water texture. A transparent scrolling one would be perfect. If you can't fins a scrolling one, just give me a still one and I'll try to make it scroll in an image editor or something.

[EDIT: I'm still working on those cliff faces. I know they need work.]

I dont have anything against it. Its a good solid imp look.

For the trees, make a misc_model_static. This time it will not show up in radiant, but it will show up in the game. Place the misc_model_static in the same place as the normal misc_model
2004-10-26, 5:29 AM #34
Good, you were able to find a better water texture. See if you can make it a little darker, it still seems just a little off, although it is presentable if you like it like this.

2004-10-26, 4:25 PM #35
The problem now is, I don't like the water texture, and it doesn't scroll, and up close, it does not look like the water you would see in a rushing stream. It looks more like waves slowly lapping a pebbly beach.

I still need a good grayish rushing stream texture. :(

[EDIT: Oh, and 'need help', I actaully quite like the trees being dead and stuff. It looks good with the skybox. :)]

Quick, before the thread is too old! Small update, I haven't had much time lately.

[http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/15103.jpg]
I made the outside of the base have things that pop out of the texture, to add detail.

[http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/15105.jpg]

That area in the last shot obviously is still being worked on.

Dark tower? Like, the Stephen King series? :confused:

It's just a simple outpost, there will be one on each of the 6 corners of this base.
