    Oh, forgot to ask, the hive in the 6th pic. It is right below a fan(func_rotating) How do I fix it so the commander doesn't spin when above it.

    I'm not sure if this works, but you might want to try setting the func_rotating nonsolid -- check flag value 64.

    How bright are those screenshots in relation to the actual level?

    they were pretty close. But i remembered I still hadn't put in the env_gamma. Now that I put it in, everything is a lot brighter, some places have to be darkened.

    Very nice. It has a very original look to it too.

    Thanx.

    Got a question. How do you all manage to stay under 4mb texture use. Agh, Im only half done and im punching very close to it. This happens with all ns maps I do.

    Okay, lets see how I could help... in the enclosed pic I have made a list of suggestions.

    Pink circles: Should be weld points.
    Pink blotches: Should be a vent that spills out into the hallway.
    Black Blotch: Removed.
    Red lines: Future vents.


    In the upper right you can see I moved one node to the hallway right outside of the hive so that the hallway has some more purpose.

    The big circled area with a '?' mark means: What the heck is that area for? If it has no importance, scrap it and make the file size smaller.

    In the room that used to be the old marine start: That proposed vent actually runs through the entire room, and has only one exit where the red line stops.

    At the lower left corner of the map, you can see the two proposed vents... they are not supposed to connect. Two straight lines that cross each other. They are basically two way vents only, by this method it will still give invading marines some breathing room from aliens who could otherwise continually pour out of the vent or be harrased by a lerk 24/7.

    noticed that there's lots of spotlights, you might want to remove some of them if you're getting
    too close to 200 entities.
    Otherwise its looking swell <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    spot lights dont count towards the entity count.

    Thanx a lot forlorn. I really appreciate it. Oh, that lil room in the corner that u didn't know what its there for. I just had it there to break the vent up,it was very long.
  • uffouffo Join Date: 2003-05-03 Member: 16026Members
    they don't? You have just excluded 52 from my map's entitycount <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
  • ssjyodassjyoda Join Date: 2002-03-05 Member: 274Members, Squad Five Blue
    im pretty sure they are exluded. the guidelines has a list of entities that don't count towards the limit.
  • ForlornForlorn Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 2634Banned
    What are they all being used on?

    These don't count towards the limit, I just copied it right outa the guidelines.

    info_player_start
    info_team_start
    info_location
    info_null
    light without any "targetname" (Name in Hammer's object dialog)
    light_spot without any "targetname"

    Everything else counts.
    IE func_wall/illusionary/hive/resource/train/hurt/button/rotating/ladder particle systems.

    Awesome map Yoda. I really like how you did the lighting in some of your first images. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I really like this one. The infestation that hangs off the side is really sweet, I like that. A lot.

    Number 5 is great too, can I see a few more screenies of that room. Does it have a bottem less pit under those platforms *prays for one*? =)

    do the particle amounts in a particle system make a lot of difference, relating to r_speeds and such?
