So how many hours have you been awake yet?

Can i join your team as a historian? Ive seen band of brothers and saving private ryan like a million times

We were marching during the night, and I had been up for around 60 hours. Since we were just walking (dead tired) silently, I started to imagine stuff. I saw my tank commander riding next to me on a horse, and i saw a huge white castle in the distance (turned out to be a barn) and so on. I would also fall asleep on my feet, while still walking. Only lasted for a few seconds :/

I was awake 65 hours or something in the army during an exercise, and i started to hallucinate and crap, it sorta sucks. And as confirmation that you wont cheat, you have to post in this thread once every hour.

How will that work on servers that run 20 minute map rotations? :

Looks a-ok, but you should try to make something more interesting with your architecture, and not just make blocky rooms and add objects. I know its supposed to be realistic, but not everything has to be 90 degree angles The hallway w/red lighting looked keen though.

Watch the latest vid of Doom3 on the xbox, it has some footage of the hellish areas, looks awesome.

For gameplay, I try to immerse myself in the map, I make a crude room in Hammer, fullsize the 3dview, and place myself in different areas of the room, thinking "Hmm, what if some guy came from over there, and then the aliens came crashing in from over there" and so on, which gives me a good idea of the layout and chokepoints of the map. When I have the layout complete, I work on timing, thats to say, it should take an equal amount of time for Team A and Team B to reach the chokepoints and important areas, or if its Deathmatch, each spawn should be equal, ie. ammo and weapons nearby, not too close to superweapons and the spawn shouldnt be in the critical path of the map. For design, I just get some cool ideas in my head, or I take a look at different texture sets and imagine cool setpieces around the textures, and then it just automatically gets more and more advanced. If that doesnt work, I play other games or look at screenshots from other maps/games, and "steal" some ideas. It's not really stealing, since I never make a copy of what I see, over time the inspiration I got from the other game/map is mutated into something of my own. Wow this was way too long.

Good observation, Hawkeye.

Did you just drop a hint there, mikezilla?

Oh man oh man I hope its the Build engine, used in Duke Nukem 3d and Shadow Warrior! That engine even has sector over sector possibilities and sector-based shading.

Why are the csforum people so angry? Oh, and happy birthday

What about voice recognition stuff? It's become quite advanced lately, there are even some (Japanese) games based solely on it. Of course, this would limit the market to only countries where the native language is english. If you plan to ship abroad, you either need to translate the whole game, or give the voice recognition software some very loose borders. Example : Dude from Ukraine is playing your game. English is not his first, second, third or fourth language. He wants to tell some warlord to fuck off. Mr Ukraine : Ai vant ju to pise of. Game hears : Warlord does : Nothing at all. Mr Ukraine : This game is the pits.

omg b&
