level Level 1: Nar shaddaa

I'm not sure if you should make the Bartender have to be killed. Kind of committing murder there.

There could be the key card where the blaster was originally. Or a button behind the bar to open the lock.

I agree. Kyle Katarn shouldn't have to murder the bartender, even if he is a bit mean.

[katanamaru]

Of course there could be a bonus key to get off the dead bartender for a locked door later with goodies.

 

Ya know, dark side, easy power and all.

Ah, good idea!

[eezstreet]

I thought murdering the bartender was optional in DF2.

[MagSul]

I don't remember it having any profound effect. I think his death resulting in obtaining a key-card leading to some decent equipment's not a bad touch, though!

[Futuza]

If the bartender tries to kill you, it wouldn't be all that dark.

[Onysfx]

But he doesn't. xD.

[katanamaru]

He just shuffles around afraid of the gun fight going on in his bar. There is an e-11 under his counter, but that's it.

[Tempust85]

He turns on you so it's kill or be killed lol.

[Circa]

I think there should be a unique bartender. At least a reskin.

[MagSul]

I'm a fan of it not being in the nature of every NPC in a level to kill you on sight. What you could possibly have is him call in some brutes for security!

[Tempust85]

Not every NPC will kill you. I just wanted the bartender to turn on you for causing trouble in his bar. He doesn't just kill you at first site.

[MagSul]

I'm going to be playing this mod on the lowest possible settings for maximum authenticity.

[Tempust85]

GFX settings?

[MagSul]

Aye. Texture and geometric detail on lowest! (Among other things...)

[Tempust85]

Good god man, why?

[MagSul]

maximum authenticity.

I partially jest. In reality I just can't stand the whining noise my PC makes.

[Tempust85]

I'm now going area by area finishing up the details and doing the lighting. Bar first.

 

I ditched the bartender door key idea, there's now a thug running into the bar to join the others.

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

 

[Onysfx]

Good....GEWD! Looking forward to playing it xD.

[MagSul]

Very swish! Reminds me a lot of the original source, which is very good!

[Pande]

Lighting in the bar looks quite off, why so much light above those lamps? It looks like maybe they aren't spotlights.

[Tempust85]

Lighting isn't my strong suit by any means. I'm trying to have a spot effect but not have everything else pitch black either.

Try playing with different ambient values in the worldspawn. ex "ambient" "10"

 

Using -bounce ought to help brighten it up just a tad as well. It's hard to notice, but it does. You can actually use -dump for each pass to get a better idea of how it's doing. (Places the radiosity lights into numbered prefabs. Not usually useful unless you are keeping light differences from exterior to interior sharp by importing and selectively deleting. Cool nonetheless for understanding how light is re-diffused off the surfaces)

 

 

 

I wouldn't worry about it too much right now. Finish your geo and core design goals.

Didn't the MOTS mod have some civilans you could use that were close to the ones from Jedi Knight?
