[WIP MAP] Fear of Velocity

[Agama]

Spining, rotating and bobbing debris!

[BusterDBK]

Hey, looks nice! [had some question, but I reread your post and realized I overlooked something, sorry]

P.S.: The Q3 OST ftw!

[edit]: I agree with Agama. Also, the furthey they are, the more unstable they should be .

Progress:

I've made the blackholes, the lower one does actually kill you... and I think the texture is pretty nice too



Added the floating debrishes: they are larger and some of them rotates, others bob:



A screenshot from the deep:



Also, I've made a simple teleporter model, but I'm not very contented with it. In case anybody has better ideas, feel free to share:



ai kindly helped me, with the skeleton and skull models. I've found a nice, free model resource site (http://www.3dxtras.com), and I already have a eorking md3 model ready for mapping:

That's all for now.

Erm, the defining feature of a black hole is that it is BLACK. No light can get in or out, past the event-horizon.



Yours looks like a hurricane

That's perfectly fine, if you want a vortex of wind. But a black hole would look like the image above (a black disk, warping the stuff behind it.

Hmm... you were right!

I've followed your advices, and I've got tinkering with the map a little:



Too bad, I cannot make a 100% circle in radiant, and the texture is oddly shaped either at some parts. I think this woul be better with a flat model, projected onto the sky...
Yet again, I lack the skill of modelling

Some spookiness

lol
make it a bit bigger

hey i found a site long ago containing all sorts of models . here is a link to a few diff skeletal ones . http://www.wemakemaps.com/mapmodels5.htm
there are more just randomly placed so have a look

Thx, I know the place. The problem is, that most of the models there aren't GPL compatible, or the author's email adresses aren't working anymore

Progress:

After I've put up the ghost video on youtube, I've got a text response:

please make it speak something backwards

So I've tought: hey, why not? But there was a little problem: namely, that Nexuiz train's can't emit sounds. But thanks to divVerent, there's a workaround:
There's a new entity in SVN, called: misc_follow. From entities.def:

Makes one entity follow another. Will not work with all entities.

Hurray! So we can make a target_speaker follow a func_train! But... there's another problem (target_speaker in entities.def):

If targeted, it plays the sound file every time when triggered.

So, if we target the target_speaker, it won't loop the sound...
Another workaround was found: trigger_multivibrator!

"Multivibrator" trigger gate... repeatedly sends trigger events. When triggered, turns on or off.

So... all in all: you can make a train emit sounds, if you place a target_speaker next to it, give it the proper noise, target it with a misc_follow that is killtargetted to the func_train, and a trigger_multivibrator, that has spawnflags 1 (=STARTS ON), and has the exact wait time as the lenght of the audio file (so it triggers the sound every time it's over )

Code: Select all

{
"classname" "func_train"
"targetname" "train"
"target" "train1"
"speed" "50"
}

{
"classname" "target_speaker"
"origin" "0 448 -12"
"angle" "180"
"noise" "sound/cb_skullznbones/cb_ghostwhisper1.ogg"
"targetname" "speaker"
"atten" "3.9"
"volume" "1"
}

{
"classname" "trigger_multivibrator"
"origin" "-112 484 -12"
"wait" "4.7"
"spawnflags" "1"
"target" "speaker"
}

{
"classname" "misc_follow"
"origin" "-96 400 -16"
"killtarget" "train"
"target" "speaker"
}


Simple, isn't it?
