nerds showing their computers... i am in!

i got a macbook pro with 2,16Ghz and 2GB Ram and ATI x1600 graphics for 1,5 years now. through boot camp i run windows vista 32bit next to a native mac os X leopard.

although i got a quad core computer with 4GB ram and Nvidia 8800GTS graphics. the system uses dual boot between windows vista 64bit and ubuntu 8 hardy heron 64bit.

then there are also some computers that i bought years ago and still run from time to time. such as an AMD 64 3500+ and 1GB Ram and Windows XP

An AMD 2200+ (1,8Ghz) and 256MB Ram running Ubuntu 7 feisty fawn.

his english skills are funny

sorry to hear that. i could have well imagined having a stay in london some time and giving my self a debut at SONY

so james want to start at my current employer and work on smaller scale titles?

lawl. can get a new one for less 199$ with contract. and you have to use a contract anyway so who gives a shit.

I took the time to create a tutorial on how to make sphere maps. As i was confronted with this problem recently at work (a game engine/renderer that didn't support cube maps :S) i had to figure out a way to render a scene as a sphere map.

Nice couple KT!

i agree on that. i wish i had such a cute girlfriend! (or a gf at all )

welcome to the world of mapping. most of the nerds out there are maybe 14 years old or even younger. they give a shit about readme files or personal wishes.

i truly understand you mino, but at some point this had to happen.

that's why warby and i agreed on allowing that anybody might use dod_kolsch content, since those who ask for it usually get it and those who don't ask get it anyway. so why the trouble? i know it's really a pain in the ass to not be worth shipped.

all you can do is trying to send emails to this dude and tell him that he is an asshole and brings shame on the mapping community.

i remember some guy decompiling my first source map de_mediterrano years ago. i was so pissed that i spammed him on every forum etc. to tell him that he failed really badly. in the end he took offline all his download links and screenshots (which where quite shitty).

as the content is yours you can also message the website administrators (for example fpsbanana) that this guy is violating copyrights. there is some link on each map site ("is this your map?")

amazon?

got to agree with insta. congratulations valve, you successfully fucked up once again.

anyway it is nice to see a community map becoming official though valve ruins it due to the heavy release delay.

regarding customization: why didnt you give him a headband to change colors? green bones might look a little weird

lol and now that I look at it the lighting sucks, reason is because I had it as a daytime map with no precipitation, then I changed it to snow/daylight then snow/night time. I have to keep working on the lighting, and tips for a night time theme?

check out dod_colmar. way to go when it comes to winter/night setting. maybe decompiling the map with VMEX might give you enough information on how the lighting was done.

• 
  [*:3fa11cdq] use appropriate texture filtering (such as anisotropic) and rise all graphics settings to high
  [*:3fa11cdq] better post pictures that show the level and not its boundaries
  [*:3fa11cdq] the env_light you use doenst fit the skybox
  [*:3fa11cdq] there is nothing that "wow"s me what so ever. default dod content all over the place and the setting is not quite the best imo.

all these comments should be taken as advice for future postings. dont get me wrong: obviously you try not to be a "fun map" leveldesigner, so you got to compete with the top quality maps.keep on it. i would like to see the basic layout first before adding so much detail.

biggest problem imo: the plaster is 100% regular. there is no dynamic jitter what so ever. i would try to add irregularity to it.

otherwise it is way to early to give full crit. maybe a general advice would be to already take the lighting into consideration. maybe geometry has to be placed in a certain way to achieve the desired lighting.

It's a BSP based engine, what do you expect?

STFU. you even have to look up at wikipedia what BSP means.

god, i hate it when "artists" talk about technical detail they know shit about (((

Quote from Warby

i wish i could switch with you i always have at least 4 side projects and according to my work-contract i am not supposed to have any

whut? you are serious? that would be a reason for me to give my employer the finger. i want to do what i want in my spare time.

i wrote an email today if they could send me a dvd or a downloadlink.
