Egyptian Pyramid level I dug out of the dust
2005-06-23, 4:54 PM #41
The idol looks more realistic than the level, which isn't necessarily a good thing. Nice 3do though.

Here is another shot of my pyramid. I've been busy building 3dos
and working on lighting in my level. This shows a bit of the
progress i've made. Earlier people were saying I should put some
dunes in. Well They're there and I think this shot shows them
better.

If curiosity killed the cat then perhaps Curious George killed the cat.
But Cat's do have nine lives so who knows?

I just have 1 suggestion, but I don't know how easy it would be...
Make some dunes close to the pyramid, (some actually covering part of the steps) not just along the edge of the map.
I like what you've done so far, I've always been an egyptian fan even before Stargate came out.

Do you guys think this level is to big to be a large FFA level or
even CTF?

CTF if there were 2 pyramids

2005-07-04, 5:31 PM #47
or... ctf if there were openings at either side with equally hard to get to areas at the end of each opening for the flag to go. but you cant get to both flag points from inside. you need to get it, go outside and back into your team's side and into the opening.

I just released my first beta version of this level. I'd like some
feedback on it. You can get it here

Tell me what you think. Yea I know it's got a few problems but
I'm working on it though.

beautiful but there is lighting stretching on the ground.

also, if you could get shadows on those outdoor objects, it would look like freaking ownage

You should make me stargate levels and I will offer you FREE luvin for a month, offer ends August ;)
Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

what is luvin?

I am good at making levels but not too quick at it.

I have never seen stargate before... That must
be somewhat blaspheme for some of you guys
I guess. I am interested in making stargate levels
but I don't have the time to put toward it. Level
editing is just a side hobbie for me. I don't put
priority on it over most things. Tell me what you
have in mind and I'll see if I can. When do you
want the levels?

lol, why is the Washington Monument by the pyramid?? It looks good though, I think it would be too laggy if it were CTF, so FFA would most likely be best. I like battling amongst valuable artifacts :cool: :em321:

Lol, sound it out. :D

BTW, you don't have to do hard returns at the end of each line you type. Just keep typing and it'll wrap to the next line automatically. And when you post it, it will expand to fill the browser width, like mine does.

The washington monument is an obelisk like the one shown here.
Obelisks were originally made by the egyptians hence why it is
in my level.

Hehe, how long did it take you to get the fire vector right? BTW: You should remove the lines with Print() statements in the cog, they were just used as debug messages and should not be in the final code. Sorry abot that.

Geez, about the washington monument, if you couldn't tell I was being humorous. All of you are hardasses, and no, I dont have the freaking history channel and ancient Egyptian nit-pickey-historical details are not essential to my life right now, or something :rolleyes:
But yes I like the custom mats

I was planning to but I just haven't got around to it. It took me
about an hour to get the vector right.

My computer is a peice of crap compaq deskpro... But it's a computer! :)
266 mhz
90 mb ram
2 mb video card

My 3dos don't cooperate on my machine and get the ugly HOMing
thing when you are up close to them and far away. They look
fine at medium distance. I am sure they have no errors and aren't
positioned through the floor or across any ajoins. Is there any
way to fix it. They look just fine on much better machine I use to test
on that I only have limited access to. Here is a screen if it helps.

Don't worry I'm not offended. I totally agree. Yes it is my card,
but I thought that there might be a way to fix the problem and
make it look good on crapy machines as well as fairly decent
machines.

Yea it is just when you look at some of my more complex 3dos.
I do have the ajoin limit patch on all my computers. That was
the whole reason for starting this project up again. I figured
there was no reason to release a level that was plagued by the
ajoin limit because I think that if you are going to make a final
release your work then it should be good and error free. I
started it up again after I found out about the ajoin limit patch.

I'm sure it's the crapy video card not LODs either. Is there
something else that could cause/correct the problem?

Here are some more pics. I am working on making it so you can go inside the
sphinx. Frome there I want to have some teleporters or hidden tunnels to the
interrior of the pyramid.

I knew some argument about the nose would arise. I may make it destructable
if I feel like it. I put the nose there on purpose and worked through a lot of
trouble in texturing to get the nose there. I will definitly keep it. The nose was
there up until the french took over egypt and blew the crap out of everything
when they were looking for treasure or just being bored or even both. I like the
tidy sphinx look rather than the ruined shaby look of todays great sphinx.

In JK and MotS you can only have so many visible ajoins without it causing
HOMing (that's the weird flashy thing when you look at complicated archi).
Sige made a patch that removes the limit to how many ajoins can be visible
allowing you to have as many ajoins showing as you want. In the original
JK and MotS levels this isn't a problem because they are built so that too
many ajoins are never visible. Editors create complex architecture with over
128 ajoins in a place where you can see them all quite often now so that's
why the patch was made.

You can dowload it here

p.s. about the carpet, I wouldn't be able to do that very well and don't have the
time but I'll think of a remedy.
