Re: Something you probably didn't know.

Ok, So it has been entirely too long since I have updated this. That is mostly because I haven't worked on the map at all until tonight. Here is what I still need to do: Add ammo Add health/shield Add adrenaline Create skybox - Will wait until after Beta Add static meshes - Will wait until after Bet...

Re: Something you probably didn't know.

I'll look through them soon, and pass on the one's that are semi-OK. As for the VCTF map, I have finished the lighting. I have some weapons placed(Fun Fact: The Redeemer was the first weapon on the map...you'll just have to find it =P). List of things yet to do: Texture Finish weapon placement Add s...

Re: Something you probably didn't know.

So, I have been at it for several hours now, and I am quite happy with the layout at this point. I am adding some lighting, and doing some weapon placement on it. And then I am going to put some textures on it...but it may not look that great, and I need to fill up a few areas and put the vehicles a...

Re: Something you probably didn't know.

I am willing to let you guys try texturing for me, as I really think my main strength would be map layout. I am also bad about using static meshes, if I knew how to make my own, and had a program to do it, I would. But my reason for restarting has a lot to do with the fact that I haven't used the ed...

Re: Something you probably didn't know.

Okay, so the map will be delayed some more, mainly because I scrapped it and started over. I just felt that it looked sloppy, some things weren't aligned well when I first started, and it was causing problems down the road. So now I am going back to my mathematical approach, where I determine where ...

Re: Something you probably didn't know.

So I have added some stuff, but mostly I was testing an area of the map out, to see what I wanted. I have only had a few hours here and there because of work, but I get the next three days after today off. So I am hoping to make a good amount of progress. Finally be able to buckle down and finish th...

Re: Something you probably didn't know.

So, after getting past my last problem, I came to a 'Writer's Block' type thing, where I was entirely undecided as to what else my map needed. I tend to have a problem with either trying to do to much, or not doing enough in a map. So right now I am currently at a stage where my map seems too bland....

Re: Something you probably didn't know.

I recreated the large sphere at extrapolation 4 and tested it once more in game. I wanted to note that, I had cut off the portion of the sphere I wanted to use, and then used the brush to intersect the top portion, then I inserted it into the level and tested it in game. I was able to walk up it par...

Re: Something you probably didn't know.

Not saying it would work, but just an idea. Try converting the brush to a static mesh and see what happens. Well, I tried, but unfortunately this isn't something I have done before, and am uncertain that I did it correctly. Should the brush change to the color of a static mesh in the viewports once...

Re: Something you probably didn't know.

Hmm, thanks Jim, at least I know it isn't just me. I tried messing with it a bit more with no luck. I tried making sure the whole of the sphere was within the level. I also tried cutting the sphere in half and making a brush out of the half sphere, and I got the same result. Each time I started with...

Re: Something you probably didn't know.

Okay, this is going to turn into a 'Help XionX' thread >_<. I'm 21, and I'm an alcoholic. Wait no, I am just having more problems with the editor. Okay, so I had a map layout, but I wanted to change something in it. There is a hill, just made from a sphere brush, and then cut off on the bottom. I de...

Re: Something you probably didn't know.

Thanks Mr Bean! I had already known about putting the gametype prefix when saving, as I was able to do that for Bombing Run Maps. But I did not know you needed to have the flags there, as BR doesn't require the goals or ball to recognize it. And Gambit, I'll get my Maze on Filefront and post a link ...

Re: Something you probably didn't know.

I found my properties >_< it was under my taskbar...rather surprised I didn't check there myself. Thank You! And as for TL's, perhaps I will make two versions of a map, one with, and one without, and see which works better. Now, my next problem is I can't seem to get vehicles to appear. And since I ...

Re: Something you probably didn't know.

Jim, Bobs is still running, and gets a few hours of play a night still, I still pop in from time to time. And as for about the TL: What about on a less vehicle intensive map. Have some vehicles, but balance out the ability to just sit and snipe by having a very fast mode of transportation? I don't k...

Something you probably didn't know.

Well, many of you have seen me on VCTF(not lately though, just came back to UT2004). A lot of you know that I play TAM more than VCTF. Less of you would know that I was actually originally a Bombing Run player. And very few of you would know I actually have made maps for Bombing Run. I have had only...
