yeah thats true *or atleast it seems logical to me* but its not the way vice versa luckily :wink: source engine lighting is just plain oldschool with some nice new effects...

i really dont know about this but could you make a screen with the example you mentioned but then with the water?? cause i really doubt its the same thing. but if so shame on valve...
-
that was my point exactly with wat insta said, just fucking around :wink: (dutch humor
)seems those kind of things get people confused. english is confusing sometimes...
(edit) that water/lightmap thing is pretty weird indeed... maybe something to ask valve? i bet its just a stupid bug they didnt bother to remove because of them jumping on their schedules n shit

heres another early one of the " back left" part of the map:

It's so... smooth.
Just turned down the lightmapscale. Its a simple way of adding lots of interesting detail to an otherwise bland area.
Mmm... I'd always thought that degraded performance too much. I guess I'll fiddle around a bit.Ooo, to make up for that, would you scale up the lightmaps in places that are not going to be lit? Would that help at all?
Lower lightmapscale will add time to vrad during compile, so only use it on the surfaces where you know you will get some really neato shadows.
Scaling up lightmapscale won't really do much, since the default of 16 is already pretty high.
isnt it about lightmaps being low that gives you more quality :wink:
also good point dissonance, seems logical to me that something like that would affect performance. unless this goes by a totally different book of rules. blah i dunno
anyway pure sex alex... -
no really i had gargoyles in my mind all from the beginning... all im waiting for right now is our concept artist to get some more free time

thats some weird ass drawing man
only thing that looks "weird" is the fact it seems like the character is spewing out his lower teeth 
lol -
sshhhh... how the fuck did you know that???

hehe yeah that is the idea i was aiming for, however this gives it a nice quakish look so i think im gonna try to find myself a way in between
(edit) i really like the "tight" feeling quake has but also the more "loose" feeling of for example unreal and im really trying to find a inbetween path
-
only way something like this would have any use is if they can "compress" the send data even more so that there are less bits send.
however i dont really see that happen...
-
its still a very long way from completion, also the variety is getting better yes but the texturing really shows its repetition. need to find myself a good texture artist... (hint hint)
-
ehm yeah, looks nice. however thats probably temp because of obvious gameplay reasons

-

ofcourse most new stuff is extremely wip this is just to give you a look at where im taking things
i broke up the maps symmetrical feel a bit more by changing some parts of the map totally (wich cannot be seen very good at these shots) but ill post some "good" shots of those spots later on, gotta go to school now

ok, i know this may sounds a bit weird. but dr@gonfly and i are very good friends and we tend to be very clear and direct to eachother. his "attitude" and plain understanding of english is very bad. not because he means things this way but because he doesnt take the fucking time to do it right. i try to make him realise that but he is real hard headed just like me lol
(edit) ok this post may sound just as weird as the whole thing, anyway... its all about being friendlly and with that not being hated around here cause he tends to pull that over him with his "style"

It looks cool but I dont like how everything is made with brushes... the original dm_gael was built almost completely out of meshes
. I'm pretty sure this could look alot better and more detailed of you made more of the details out of modelsthat is our goal, yes. this is just our way of working, creating everything in bsp first and converting them to models later on. not completely effective sometimes but atm our best option since we dont have a "decent" modeller yet.
(sorry for answering all this stuff kaj :wink: )
