Future would be cool if we can do everything in one piece in a 3dsoft such as 3dsmax, painkiller for example :x

It's funny how source is considered old after just one year since its release, even before a single serious and big mod project has been released.

[Zacker]

Maybe not old, but rather outdated. I have considered it as outdated since I realized how very little next-gen it actually turned out to be.

I was totaly telling people that Lighting in source is amazing in my opinion, but thats all it got.

[PhilipK]

well better to see good stuff in present gen than bad stuff in next gen

hey guys. it's curious: i am bored but i got no motivation to do anything that would push the progress of my map. i hope spending time on other things will help.

today i made this texture and model:

here is one of my photos that inspired me. watch the trimming walls on the left and right.

nice

to not _cheat_ in other maps you shall incule those two files later in your final bsp file. so the engine will load your textures only if you're playing the level they were made for.

maybe it's a stupid question, but how can you include them in the bsp file? i don't get it.

also i don't really understand how the detail.vbsp works. i thought there's only one detail.vbsp file for the entire game. so if you give your map to someone else you need to give him your modified detail.vbsp as well or else he would have a map without grass. right?

but what if this person gets another custom map from someone else + another modified detail.vbsp (which overwrites yours) - your map would be without grass...

i never worked with detail.vbsp before, so maybe i misunderstood the issue.

/by the way the wall looks great, but again ingame it's going to suffer from source's bad lighting system.

I agree - things like walls should really be built with world geometry or your missing out on lightmaps. I get that you want to keep the detail along the top of the wall, but I'm not sure the increased detail will be worth the worse lighting. How much subdivision do you have in the wall? If there are lots of vertices on the front face of the wall then vertex lighting could suffice I guess.

I am no artist, but that wall looks fuckin sweet!

[hessi]

the detail.vbsp is only an information for the bsp compiler. If you compile a map with detailsprites, you will see the process "lpacing detail props" (i think its called like that) and the positions of the sprites are now predefined in the bsp. if you want to you could delete detail.vbsp now. it weould not have any effect.

e: thx friechamp

[jayrabbit]

I see, thanks!

But what's with the detailsprites.vmt, how can you replace the original one without getting problems in other maps?

[hessi]

i told you to include it in the bsp.

bsp > folder on HD > file in the gcf

that's the resources hierarchy.

[Dr.DK]

Especially the screens on the first page look promising. It's kinda cramped though, no?

[hessi]

displacing to hell

no model for the stairs. the lighting sucks anyway...
