playing around with Blender

O.o I would love for that to be my model

A new look for a familiar map

Looks pretty good, I especially like the curvy jumppad thing

One crit though; the ramp in the last shot looks a little slimy ;p Tone down the gloss a little.

some gforce improvements

Much better for both maps Cortez!!


Great work on the first one

Here are my boosters!!





@Strahlemann, they sell your frog at Ikea!

More of the same: added a bit of detail and started tweeking the shader. Progress is kinda slow since thrers many other things compeating for my time atm.

Thanks Tzork

That moving star shader is fully operational

Hyperspace!

fog + skybox!

W00t! Div, you rock. Will this be availible before 2.4?

Oh, and now we need some volumetric fog, plx.

No idea how to code this... what I did was just extending the existing fog, and adding some code to fog the skybox. The trick is that fog now has a min/max distance to specify where fog starts and ends - and sky counts as the max distance, and no longer as infinite.

Silvercity will actually use this, but not a fog as strong as I show on the screenshot... it will look more like http://emptyset.endoftheinternet.org/~p ... 0035-1.jpg and http://emptyset.endoftheinternet.org/~p ... 0035-2.jpg - I think it fits the map. It shouldn't impact gameplay much that way, so people will actually play with this fog and not simply turn it off

\o/

this rocks !

As you are a mapper, here a description how to use it:

"fog" "density red green blue mindist maxdist"

Anything farther away than maxdist will be fogged as if it were just maxdist away. You probably want to set mindist to zero and maxdist to something above or near the "diameter" of the map.

I committed the fog to silvercity in svn.

perhaps you should join div with the silvercity one? because the silvercity div made, look much better. the old one is.. ugly. so developing two silvercity versions in paralel might not be the good aproach.

I believe tZork and div are in contact

btw.: great improvements on silvercity tZork !
Only nitpick on the screens so far is the floor which still looks boring

edit.: oops.... missed the thread for the map xD

I thought the foggy city looked a bit nautical, silver fog sweeping over the side of the tanker.

Maybe to encourage the nautical feeling, a few anchors carefully positioned or a cannon or two with a few balls stacked nearby.

dammit man, that map looks sick now!

pm me when you got it on a server we can use to play toghether on

hey koj, this is no 1on1 map I can say methinkgs its available on the DCC servers.

But still fun to give it a go anyway!!! till i learn all the spawn points

-Rad puts bunkers round all the spawnpoints-

Rad Ished:
3fps

A few people complain of lags but the majority say it's quite good. Mebbe turn settings down? or it's something specific to you maybe? I'm not very knowledgeable in this area tbh. Personally i have to switch from 32bit to 16bit every time facing comes around. I get a solid 30/35 on ito but i run nex with all settings off. I'm not sure how target_speaker affects performance but there are over 80 in this map
At least it's better than tobotoid, but what wouldn't be?

I'm talking about your screenshot. I haven't played there so I'm not sure how my machine handles it.

Ooops of course you are , duh.
Yeah if i really try hard it turns red and says 1 spf
:O
This was just because i turned everything up for screen shots.

[Dave]Dave complains that I'm sending him postage stamps if i do 800 x 600.
Something to do with having a monitor the same size as the sun.

just improving the feedback
