how about some screenshots <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

no image editor?

erendor

i can't reduce its bytes for some reason, resizing it in paint reduced bytes by only a few hundred:(

edit: wait it did reduce bytes, but its still a bit above, i might crop some off, one sec

erendor

this is really stupid <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> the only image editor i have is paint, and i just realised, even with a tiny picture, i'm still 1 million bytes over. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Here's a quick and dirty fix : save as a jpeg! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Screenshots are saved as bmp files, which are huge anyways. MSPaint can open the bmp and save it as a jpg.

Anyone would be an idiot by doing what? Opening a HL screenshot in MSPaint, then saving it as a jpg? I've done it that way dozens of times already - while it's not a 100% perfect transfer, it's more than adequate enough to be considered quite good.

Erendor, try a freware program called Irfanview. It has everything you need and more including a resizing ability. Did I mention that it's FREE!?

messytreat thankyou for the irfan thing, which i am downlaoding now and thankyou sychnophant for the jpeg trick. I'm posting only one at the moment, of part of the marine spawn, then i have to go back to my shelves. its not much, but i like it(the pic)

EDIT: YOU CAN'T UPLOAD JPEGS? WTH?

rimj0b_r0dent

Oh yeah infranview is the Shiz!

Kage

These forums clear the attach file field if you preview your post, so that might be the cause. Also make sure that it's within the size limit.

erendor

its within the size limit, but whenever i save my pics as jpeg, it turns into gif? and this forum dosen't let me post gif :| EDIT: YIPEEE!! it worked! this is teh black hole waste mangagement, its pretty small, but it would take effort to resize, i've got 3 more, so stay hetre!

erendor

This is a couple of boxes in the marine spawn, and a vent on the right, which leads to a room to the left of black hole waste mang.

erendor

This is the command console, with assorted computery things around it, and sparks!

erendor

This is the other side of the command chair area, the boxes are behind you now.

erendor

bump, i want feedback pls. the sooner the feedback, the sooner you can <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> on my new map <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

Okay...

- If you're a beginner in mapping -> not bad at all!
- If you're mapping for quiet some time -> shame on you!
- If it just isn't done yet and is like a plan -> can't really comment

erendor

Well, i'm a 2 and a 3. I've been mapping for a bit on another mod, which was an outdoor one, and the rooms are like plans. The reason i want feedpack is so i can make plans into finished products which everyone likes. I'm going to post some more pics later on, where i have revamped the CC area a bit, and another one of the rooms.

erendor

The marine spawn area, with the CC, a bit revamped from the other picture, looking a bit better i think.

erendor

The Marine Spawn, from the other side, note the incredible detail in that spark popping on the far right <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

erendor

Looking back at the boxes from before, with the CC area behind you, the red vent on the right goes to a room in a later picture.

erendor

Black hole waste managment, a better picture.

erendor

why its called <b> black hole</b> waste managment. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

erendor

Yet another photo, looking along waste managment to the next room. ilan to have a doorway straight ahead.

erendor

The room i told you about. The vent in the ceiling goes to the marine spawn, and will be able to welded shut from this room.

erendor

last one <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> This is inside the previous room, looking at a door i had just made before compiling, it leads to nowhere. Alright, now start posting ur feedback

RR_Co-N

try making it all a bit less boxy.

The doors are just squares carved out of the wall and it shows.
Revamping that cc area is ok but still i dont see any really intresting achitecture.

RR_Co-N

And get higher ceilings. Its doesnt look right this way and it certainly wont play right with skuks.

erendor

its still all mostly a plan. The cc area i know i'm going to put in some large generator type things hanging fromt he ceiling, and the boxiness of that door willbe removed, its jsut how i do things. if i make a room, it starts out as a box till i get a feel for what its going to be.

Zyndrome

this map seem to not have any detail at all... "developer 1" and "r_speeds 1" in displays polygon count... look at the "wpoly" numbers... I guess it isnt even over 50... increase detail levels, but stay under 800 in wpolys, or the map can lag on slow computers...
