    As a FYI... average vent r_speeds are around 30-50. Original Nancy had r_speeds in the vents around 200 in places, due to the over-complicated brush geometry. I 'peak' around that, in one specific 'new room' I added to the vent system to link the two original vent systems together, because that 'small chamber' is an 8-sided chamber with a column in the middle housing a pair of spinning fans. It's there specifically to break LOS on an over-long vent. :-)

    It looks and feels fine to me. (Wolf sent me a BSP and MAP last night.) I was a big user of the Nancy ventilation system and it was pretty much the same, no snags or inconveniences along the way, it was much easier to get in the vents now with the smootheing of the lipage. I think fans will be very pleased, it is almost an exact replica with some improvements.

    And I'll be dropping a compile (without DarkATi's final lights.rad file yet) in your mailbox shortly, Lazer. It's building now, medium-quality build without shadowed entities. I spent all night adjusting the comm-mode clipping and entities, and trimming one high-spot of comm-mode r_speeds down further. I may go back through and 'remove' the vents from the comm-view entirely, as they visually clash with the otherwise-very-clean geometry the Comm sees in Nancy.

    Alright, and that idea of the room with the fan sounds REALLY cool. A few things though:

    -Did you give it an ambient sound of the fan?
    -Did you add ambient sounds in the places like the original or should I go and do that all before the very final compile? (I still got some things like the egg to add)
    -What did you do with the subspace vent?

    The fan has a properly-timed noise, or rather I adjusted the spinning speed to roughly match the sound it makes.

    I didn't add any other 'ambient' noises to the map. Go ahead and modify the .map I send as much as you want, and send me back the final version with the ambient noises added. I can strip out just those entities, and move them back into my copy, just avoid doing anything that requires or uses brushwork, and I can import the changes just fine. :-)

    Subspace Array still has the vent, covered with two func_illusionary grills. I didn't modify that area at all yet, as I've been too busy madly dashing around the rest of the map to do so. I can work on that minor change while you look over the map and DarkATi does the lighting, if that's okay?

    Gah... I seem to have become the focal point of this whole mess... I didn't mean to end up here, Lazer, honest. =^.6= If it wasn't for you, none of this would have happened, and I feel like I'm walking on your toes. =-.-=

    The 'linkage' is a total of 7 brushes, and one extra 'merged in' .MAP file currently, and it's going in for beta-testing. If it's disliked or causes problems, it comes out just as easilly. :-)

    Wolf - Lazer - Someone.

    Whoever did the lights throughout wasn't paying attention to the original Nancy. Since I can't modify the .map without skewing the textures badly, Wolf I guess your the only person who can make these changes. Certain lights in Nancy were "dead" for a reason, Devil purposely made them this way. I'm lighting the map section by section starting with the cockpit and I've already found an error.

    The computers are the only thing emitting light over there on the one side in the cockpit but someone made the bulbs up top a light emitting texture and if anyone knows how .rads work here then they know you can't have more than one entry for a texture. Soooo... Wolf, make that light this texture: ~LIGHT3F

    I'm sure it was an honest mistake but it's making it tough for me as I'm trying to get this biotch out the door in just a few hours. If you could change that for me I would appreciate it. Meanwhile I'll keep adding entries to the .rad file...

    Do me a favor? Make a single list of all the individual changes to make, and I'll do them en-masse. For the most part, Lazer got the lights right I think, but I may have munged a couple re-aligning the textures as best as I could. =-.-=

    Lazer has a copy... DarkATi has a copy... they're both checking things over...

    I'm going out to the local game store to see about buying a copy of a D&D3.5 book, I need to relax for an hour or two. I'll be back on before or around noon, PST.

    Ok, I looked at it... and we got problems...

    -The vent room is apparently inaccessable. It seems as if a big null brudh was dropped ontop of it so you can't get in and it just leaves a void there.
    -The vent lighting is ugly. It needs too be reddish in some places and greenish in others. Like the original. Not sure what I think about the double width of most parts of the vent now, but I'm guessing it will be good for gameplay reasons...
    -Many many texture alignment errors now. This is a major problem. I understand that radiant can't load map files made in hammer all that well, but there must be a way around this.
    -Making the broken doors and things on the ground func_illusionaries is not really the best idea. They would be a lot better as func_walls just because they become a little more interactive since you can step on them. It feels odd steping through them.
    -The buttons that open the doors need to be activated by a +use not by bumping into them.

    I think that's about it... Most of the stuff is easy to fix, but this texture alignment problem is serious. If you could only open my .rmf files...

    That's why Wolf will have to deal with alignment issues, anyway the BSP he sent me looked fine, it was just once I loaded the .map that I saw alignment bugs... damn I wish Wolf could use Hammer...

    Oh My Dear Lord, these last few hours have been so annoying!

    Here's what I've got thus far, actually I think that WWs should take over since he has the Radiant Editor and is doing the final compile, it's just not possible w/o RMF support.

    I was re-texturing the 'vent room' to make it look and operate correctly from Commander Mode, and I accidentally bound both entities together. It works right now, and in the compile I sent DarkATi, my bad.

    Vent lighting was me rushing through and dropping a hundred light entities in. I'm going through and putting in the little 'light bits' in the corners instead.

    Unfortunately, you're right, we've found a NASTY bug in Radiant, that nobody can really fix. =-.-= And yes, it blows chunks. :-P

    And... um... buh? =O.o= In reality, you shouldn't have your view 'jiggle' when you run across a piece of sheet-metal on the ground. The jarring of my view seemed far more 'incorrect' to me. Changed as you directed though... :-\

    And doors you have to +use... *done*

    And sorry about not being on... I crashed, as in was insanely tired, after riding to the book store after that all-nighter. =^.6=

    Alright good work. I'm thinking of just learning radiant myself to get the textures fixed again... There is a lot though... I do not want this released until the textures are fixed.

    Also, I'm out for tonight. I'll probably be around tomorrow though, and I'll probably download radiant so I can fix the textures...

    I'll help you get up to speed on Radiant, if you want? You'll need 1.3.12, and need to modify a couple files to get it working with NS, but I can provide those, if you want. 1.3.12 is a 'development' version, with support for a LOT more games, with a MUCH better interface on Windows.

    I just out-right crashed today... non-stop work over the weekend on Nancy just burnt me out big-time. =^.^=

    Anyways... it's pretty easy to hunt up GtkRadiant, you'll just need to snag BitTorrent to actually download it. It's a program that lets others use your bandwidth to get the file from you if the download is maxxed out. Basically, instead of FilePlanet where you wait in line, if the 'line' is full, someone else passes you a copy. It's a very nice utility, and works quite well.

    Once you get the program itself installed, I can see about setting up the files you'll need for NS editing somewhere? Or should I sit down and make an installer for everything?

    Simple... I wouldn't be able to have an alpha-channel in the image then, so the 'gradient' in the background of my avatar would have to be manually made for this forum, and if they ever changed the colours at all, I'd have to rebuild my Avatar. As it is, I use the same Avatar on every forum I'm on, and it blends nicely into the background on them all. :-) <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    PNG alpha channels only work in some browsers. They don't work in IE. Almost everybody uses IE. Everybody just sees your avatar as having a white solid background, with no gradients.

    It's cheap, I know, but how effective would it be if you gave all the textures you used in the vents some very dim texlight values?

    If dim enough, the lighting in the vents would seem to just be ambient, and it would be quite hard to tell that it came from the actual vent textures themselves (since every texture is equally lit, they should all theoretically look the same).

    sure, I'd say (for a red effect)

    [vent_tex] 200 5 5 100
