I swear, as soon as that is released, every single person's handle is going to be rendered unreadable.

Div, great work!

Could I suggest something? the crosshairs are a bit hard to see (well maybe for some) I'd suggest highlighting the background a different color, or changing the color of the crosshair.

Also is there a color picker for the text. I see the color picker for the player but none for text. Wouldn't that stuff up the special characters to, because you need a color in front of them (if the are at the start).

I do love the character picker, but unfortunately that removes the need for sites like mine... Oh well, I suppose it's better because it helps the community grow because It's easier then going to a site or into your files.

No, it is a good noob marker. You'll recognize the good players by being able to read their names

As for a name color picker - I want the color codes to stay visible, because it has less oddities that way (like, odd blinking if the cursor is in the middle of a color code, or randomly accululated color codes to make a more colorful SPACE, such stuff). Also, the screen already is low on space in the left column, but there isn't anything in the left column I can put in the right (currently, the left column is basically the "what others can see" column).

lei - I really like that machine gun modification, it's simple but it adds so much to the visual appeal. Also I noticed the mod support in svn, looking forward to getting new tracks in the game from that.

div - that menu is so good, I can't wait to use it in-game. Do you have an idea what you want to do with the main menu yet?

How about a checkbox for first / third person (chase cam) and fog on / off?

Strahlemann

That's a fine looking place

Strahlemann, all those pillars on top, can you stand on them or are they playerclipped like farewell?
Looking really nice, this type of ing makes a lot of realism.

you can stand on top of them at the moment.
It definitely needs some gameplay-testing to decide whether i should clip them or not.

I just volunteered for testing this map.
Gimme gimme gimme

A model I was thinking about adding as a custom player model.



I don't think I'll even bother adding it as a custom player model for two reasons.

1. I didn't realize the amount of joints needed
2. It's not very good...

I think I'll just play around with it.

My attempt at making a model for Nexuiz. I have no intention for working through how to animate it though, so it was just for fun. Maybe I'll stick it in a map as an easter egg. About 1800 tris.

Wow. That looks good.

What program did you use?

umm... blender.

Bender, you may be happy for this one...



I was bored so I started on a bender model.

the bender model looks cool

OMG, that is soooooooooooooo sweet! I love you, Shaggy! You da man!

first look at those pictures i thought what a nice defrag trick map lol ,
your sure its not a defrag trick map. it doesnt have the nexuiz look

those squares on the towers , are those for trick jumping ?

using squares on towers is defrag looking

I would lose the sqaure make a nice Bas-reliëff

nice chineese Bas-reliëfs like the dragon from mortal combat or something

must be awsame with bumpmapping

Download the modified shaders and the tool to convert the normal maps to depth maps
its for doom3 mabye it works in nexuiz. dunno

Yes, key binding is implemented now!

First pic is ok.
Second one needs work.

exactly what i thought lol! can't wait to play with it with nifrek's physics

Your maps are pieces of art Strahlemann!

beta 3

I'm planning a map based on the Nanpu Interchange in Shanghai




This is the basic road section repeated a few times, Ima thinking now that it's got too many polys , hard to tell when you're only got one iteration.
...
Also the next major hurdle is that this interchange is circular so's i gotta bend the damn thing. I figure I'll just rotate each section and put in wedges. Maybe also create a curving bit for when the turn gets too tight. Started out thinking about using patches but I couldn't work out how to do it efficiently, however maybe now it seems more clear.
Wish I luckage
...
Ew Nan-Pu

Oh, I can't wait!

rad ished: looks interesting^^

cortez: cool, keep it going

I think Nexuiz looks dated because mappers are afraid to use enough polys in their maps. IMHO you should make it fun first, beautiful second and optimize it last.
This area is dramatically lit and interesting to look at. Besides, what's wrong with making an eye candy map?
Compare to Unreal tournament 2003:

Ishan, if the performance sucks then nobody plays it, which kind of spoils the point.
-points at tobotoid-
..
Uhm.... one other thing, the nanpu interchange is hzzzzzzuuuuuge :O

if it looks like crap only Nexuiz fans will play it. Maps usually have performance issues because they aren't optimized. Be smart, how many polys are in the entire map right now? There are approx. 2k polys PER CHARACTER. With 2k world polys visible at any point you can have a pretty realistic map.

As per the size of the map, that's your choice (problem)
