  • Uncharted 4

    Anyway, wanted to ask about Uncharted 2 - specifically the train scene. (Didn't want to bump the 8 year old thread for U2 though!)

    I was talking with a colleague about the level in U2 where you're on top of a moving train and I remember reading an article or watching a video about how they made it and wanted to read it again. I remember it discussing how the loop was made for the train to drive around and how they had multiple exits for the following scene? I'm pretty sure it was posted here and that's where I saw it but I couldn't find it in the U2 thread. Anybody got any links to it?

    Never read/watched it, but maybe it's one of these articles?

  • [CS:GO] My map crashes the game on spawn

    Quote from Simonay

    I'll give this a try and report back tomorrow, thanks for the suggestion.

    Splendid idea! Likewise with what Lizard said I will give that a try as soon as I get back to work tomorrow, many thanks.

    Actually, you should use the cordon tool for that, no need to work with seperate vmf's at all. Just divide the map in half using the cordon tool > compile > check ingame. If it doesn't crash, move the cordon to the other half and check that part. If it crashes, make the cordon box half its size and repeat the process.

    Also, I'm not sure what the minimum distance between spawn entities and ground should be, but 16 might be kinda narrow. Don't be afraid to move them up like 64 units or so (if there's no ceiling in the way, that is).

    I think you'd be suprised about the amount and kind of information they could derive from this. Depending on how both teams are facing each other, they can determine if a FB was effective (as in, seeing a white reflection on one's face) or not and act upon that :D

    You're talking about two different things here: 1) not being able to be seen 2) not being able to be heard. Related to the same bug, but that's about it.

  • Canada trip - looking for info and suggestions

    Quote from blackdog

    54 minutes ago, blackdog said: Awesome, thank you @Squad. Were you able to camp in the parks with the camper? Also you had to take special care in terms of risk of bear breaking in

    Yeah, most (or all) parks have at least one camping/RV park.There are a few simple precautions you have to take into account regarding bears. Don't leave any food outside unattended and stuff like that. But you'll be given that info on arrival, no worries :) And buy a bear spray!

    Also, you might want to make reservations in the RV park beforehand, as you'll be going there in high season. We did it too, but in hindsight it wasn't really needed as there was still plenty of free spots. But that was in May/June.

We'll pretty much do your same drive :D were the parks free? I've seen a visit Canada video that because of the 150th anniversary all national parks are free…

    All National Parks are free in 2017. That was a reason for us to visit Canada this year instead of sometime in the future :)

    Be sure to reserve a Park Pass though, which you can do here. We were never asked to actually show it though, but better safe than sorry.

    I would maybe add sv_cheats 1 to this list so you could easily test commands that need cheats enabled (portals, occlusion, leafvis, wireframe...)

    I have that enabled automatically when starting CSGO. Not sure why that is exactly, but I suspect -dev in launch options does that?

    But having a seperate testing.cfg as Squad said, should rather be used imo.

    @blackdog Open console and type "exec maptestcfg" or whatever you called your config file.

    Mine is called mapplay.cfg so I just have to type in console "exec mapplay".

When I explore custom maps from the Workshop I'd like to just fly around with no time restrictions, but if I spectate the camera is locked in place: I can't move. I tried to noclip but doesn't affect it. It seems to happen only on custom maps but I should double check.

    I execute a cfg file to check out maps. It puts the roundtime at 60 minutes and gives unlimited ammo + a bunch of different grenades to try/check out grenade throws.
