Is that vegetation yours? It looks really good, too. It'd be nice to have objects like that included in Nex for people who want to make outdoor maps.

DotProduct2 texture blending in 2.4! Volumetric fog! It seems as if Nexuiz becomes more Q3/RtCW entity compliant; and more inviting to terrain [BSP notwithstanding] everyday.

Rad Ished, please switch to heightmaps with Easygen, Gensurf, or any other heightmap translation program; as generation of the shader is automated and the output is a .map for further editing [It can also be viewed and changed easily, by anyone with the source].

huh!? Where do you see that?

Div0 posted a screen shot of fog on Silvercity, presumably that meant there would be upcoming support for volumetric fog, else it would have been a waste of bandwidth.

Of course world fog works just as well for fog-culling.

Fog already is present in nexuiz. However, fog and volumetric fog are two very different things. His shot of fog in silvercity was to demonstrate the new fog+visible skybox (presumably).

How does gensurf automate shader generation? How is models not editable in the same way as maps are if you have the source, apps and knowhow? Fine, you hate modeld geometry, but let other ppl decide for themselfs.

I wasn't referring to them all having the same functions, but rather referring to them as a whole.

It isn't easy to combine uneven modelled terrain & brushes, there is also a possibility to forget to pack the models [silvion] when whomever fails to realize models are need for a .map source to function.

I advocate heightmap terrain because I support practices for good framerate.

Finnishing up the tesla colis and pimping up the lightning effect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q94GmlIWJ98

looks awesome, but I miss some electrical movement at the coils themselves.

really great stuff you're doing there tZork !
can't wait to give it a run

Those tesla coils are almost perfect command and conquer red alert (go germany!).
1. Are the boxes in the back power sources which you can destroy to disable them?
2. Can you make the multiple targeting optional, so swarming is still a valid technique for assaulting a tesla coil.

Awesome stuff!

it would look better with those spheres replaced with eyeballs and beam color changed to red

another thing : they should make less damage as the range increases, rings should rotate, and they should have chain lightning

but targeting eyeballs would be awesome

plz plz plz

NOOOOOOO! You have never played C&C red alert obviously. Less damage with range maybe necessary in a FPS.

Just editing in a shot from C&C red alert 2 (which was a much lamer EA game that the original from Westwood but it was all i could find):

i see here a C&C gamer VS a Zelda gamer

1: Yes they are. Destroying them wont compleatly render in inactive tho, it has a ammo buffer and a internal (mutch slower) ammo regeneration.
2: Yes, however for each enemy in the chain it hits it deals less damage. It also need a clear line of sight for each arc, for groups are still valid, just make sure you have some cover =)

Eyeballs? red lightning? naaaaah xD sorry that just sounds like somethign outa lotr. as stated above, each target in teh chain recives less dmg. damage scaling with range i may put back in (it had it before it canged to chain lightning) if if proves to powerfull.

Would it be possible for the beams to "arc" to the target, instead of making a straight path?

Look great C.Brutail, can't wait to play it

Definitely looks like it'll be a blast.

looks a bit empty but nice

I like the teleport -in transit- tube, nice idea. Whole lot of electricity goodness here.

Sneak peak of Nexrun2 map, its themed like Ruiner and I think im gonna call it Runner. I know the video is a little dark so dont whine about that, its easy enough to see when your ingame. I also made a nexrun1 map, but I have no good video clips of it to show yet. Me and the nexuiz ninjaz have been testing and tweaking loads of stuff, and its starting to come together fairly cool, so I'm hoping people will like it. Once you see whats possible, I hope some more maps are made

edit: somehow I managed to forget the link

OH MY GODDDDDD!





That's awesome.

and that's not even pushing the boundaries of what can / could be done within maps

just wait till you see some of the rocket stuff :):)

good work Revenant, if you want i can make some videos of the maps.

better quality of this, please? the other link is dead.

on Stage6 for example.

yes, please put it on youtube like the turret video. Stage6 is useless, for me as a linux user it doesent work.

It does with mplayerplug-in (so unlike youtube it works even on x86_64 and other platforms)

edit: and you can download the avi from http://video-veuillezpas.stage6.com/<insert id here>.divx without any plugins...
