level Level 11: Gorc & Pic

[Psyk0Sith]

It's a possibility. I'm having OS problems so i'll have to restore and reinstall a few tools, gotta love windows breaking itself.

[Tempust85]

Well if you do make one or both, pose them however you want. I'll make a custom skeleton for each.

@@Psyk0Sith -- STOP! There's a great free Windows Repair Tool program that I have used with great success! Let me get the name of it this evening... and give that a try first before such a drastic measure of having to do a clean install.

[Psyk0Sith]

@@Archangel35757 I would be using a ghost image so it's just a matter of minutes before everything is back to normal and then reconfig / install a few tools. The problem is pretty severe, windows won't load any freaking services, except basic ones + antivirus and firewall, when trying to manually restart them, the option is not even available but wait it gets worse! The stupid thing was making BSOD repeatedly before i went in and started diagnosing startup services, when i loaded default config, no more BSOD (there was an error message about not being able to stop a certain service). It's a major meltdown.

 

I'll give the tool a shot but i don't usually trust those things, ghosting fixes everything!

Download it from tweaking.com

 

There are also download links on bleepingcomputer.com

 

Just unchecked the few default Win8 options and run.

Well, Easter Break is over and I'm ready to start thinking about mapping again. @@DT85, what additions/changes would you like to see me make to the Level 11 map? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I'm pretty close to being done. It closely resembles the original, and I'm pretty content with the level of additional detail.

 

Once this one is complete, I'm thinking of doing one, MAYBE two more maps for the mod.

[minilogoguy18]

Yeah, it seems like it's pretty much complete, I mean there may be little things we may think of at some point here or there. I think I'd probably still at least would have to play the map to see for sure though.

 

I think since you did this one maybe the level before it should be your next one, that way the theme is kept similar and this map actually looks like it's part of the level before it.

[Jedi_Mediator]

Any thoughts, @@DT85? I'll be glad to start on another map if you think this one is done. If you'd like, I'll post the .bsp file so you can test it yourself.

[minilogoguy18]

Best to send it directly to DT and not post it here on the forums.

[Tempust85]

Send me the .map as well so I can add it to the source files on dropbox.

[Tempust85]

I have the map files.

 

@Jedi_Meditator

 

The map looks pretty good, however there's a few things I'd like you to go back and fix please:

 

1) The vis isn't done efficiently. You made a big box on the outside of the map and made everything inside detail brushwork. It's better on FPS to not do this. Please fix this by using the outer brushwork as structural, leaving the inside as detail.

2) There's alot of areas that aren't caulked. By this I mean does not have the caulk texture applied thus not rendering the surface.

3) There are a few areas that have odd looking brushwork like around the door frames for example. This isn't your fault exactly as the original map also has this, but please flatten them out or make it as patch work and also apply a different texture.

 

The lighting however looks fine, & the map itself looks to be almost an exact replica of the original so great work there.

[NumberWan]

Seeing your progress, I am starting to think, that it would be nice to add intermissions as well. And there are a few things, which are quite good in the books, that can be used as source for inspiration.

[Tempust85]

There's already a lot of missions, I don't think we need to add anymore. A thought to keep later on though.

[minilogoguy18]

@@Jedi_Mediator, any updates on the suggestions that DT made for this map?

[NumberWan]

Strange, I didn't notice at first, but isn't that a stone texture on the walls? The lighter one?

[Tempust85]

He sent me the map with some changes that I've already uploaded to the source files link in PM.

 

There's still areas that could use some more fixing before I personally would deem it ready. However I can be quite nit picky.

[Bek]

I'm scared for this mod.

 

Edit: If needed, I have no problem modeling things for this mod.

@@Bek I agree, the activity for this mod has been awfully low. 

[Tempust85]

It's always been a lack of active mappers. I stepped down, and had hoped production would continue but I realise now this was mostly a 1-man project.

What do you need mapped? I mostly use Blender, I'm not sure that program would work.

[Jedi_Mediator]

Wow...a LOT of life changes for me since I last looked at this thread. I just realized that I had never actually finished the fixes that were requested to complete this map! I want to take care of those so I can at least call this done.

will you release this when you're done?

[Jedi_Mediator]

Dunno...that would be partly up to the leaders of the mod, since I agreed to make the map specifically for the mod. The map itself is just a recreation, so there wasn't a lot of creativity behind it anyway.

[minilogoguy18]

@@Jedi_Mediator do you have any plans on finishing it? Right now the mod is on hold until we can rebuild the team, so far the only people still in it are @@Ramikad and myself.

 

I'd like to keep stuff exclusive at least until we can see where things are going. I only released the AT-ST separately because so many asked. I'd really like to attract attention to this mod once again since it's one of those mods that doesn't require huge changes to the game to make possible.

[Jedi_Mediator]

Yes, I'm going to finish the three edits DT85 requested on the previous page, since he said those were what it needed to be complete. I'm working on a personal project too at the moment, so it'll take a few days, but no longer than a week.
