As far as I understand the rend2 shaders are supplemental only, the vanilla renderer will still use the vanilla shaders.

Your major is forcing you to buy Pro Tools??

That is the biggest waste of money I can think of in this business, it is such propietary garbage.. and do not buy 11 !

I would stick with those studio time hours, as annoying as it may be, then go right back to Logic.

I agree it sucks that Pro Tools is so 'expected' by everyone, when it's such a money-sucker and is so slow to implement features that other daws have had before it way longer.

I pm'd you, for anyone else interested the chairs are here:

the wall version is without legs, straighter back, and optomized detail wise for it's location. It also snaps together nicely with duplicates so you can make a bench row with it.

Would you like to replace these chairs with a blue version of this?

The chair is a cc0 high poly that I downloaded and made into a lowpoly mesh for jka, if you'd like it I'll convert it for ya.

That rock looks AWESOME, love the way those red lights wash over it then suddenly break off into harsh shadows.

DAW is rarely a limitation in collaboration - I use entirely free plugins and samples, too. Reaper is a free-til-you-buy it program, that is constantly being revised by the developers and has a great customer -> developer interaction.

It's real easy to use, I came to it from Logic and it was fairly seamless. It's routing is fantastic. If you are interested in collaborating on anything, I can definitely walk you through setting it up!

By the way, I'm not saying I am going to be using Reaper free forever, by mentioning it it free-til-you-buy it. I haven't bought it yet but when I'm a bit more financially stable I will definitely be doing it. It's so fantastic. What DAW are you using?

What DAW is that?  :blink:

Reaper

Are you a music major @@Pande?

Yup

And yeah, send me all the references you want, every little bit helps. Looking forward to this!

I have been itching to put my new set up to good use. I'd like to compose something in the SW style but need a theme to go off of. I would like to try composing background music for one of your maps?

Preferably not Dantooine as it already has it's own themes and that would clutter my mind. I'm thinking of Ord Mantell or Anarmar (love the ambiance of that map). I might start in this next week, and if you like it you are welcome to it.

This is so much better than the base model, awesome. Hope it gets a great skin and shaders to boot.. would love a clean + dirty version, maybe even a camo?

I think the detail in that centre cylinder connecting the head to the legs is a bit unnecessary, as well as the dome thingy under the.. 'shoulders'? 

This also needs to be made efficient, it's double the tris:

As in like this:

Niiiiice, love the atmosphere!

Func_rotating can take key/value origin/# # # just like every other, I just use ref tags to get the origin value and copy paste it. I cannot stand origin brushes, they piss me off. o.o Makes sense though, I wouldn't have to fix the origin value if I move it. I still do it anyway. bad habits?

I am a mapper and I find no difficulty finding topics relating to my field. 

I wouldn't bother with any non-specific tutorials to JKA such as UV mapping, other than to point out to anyone coming from modeling software internally or some other games that support multiple UV maps on a single surface.

How does it turn? I seem to remember in the game it gives a *slight* nudge each way with it's arm, as in it actually rotates slightly in it's socket. Maybe I'm filling in too many blanks since I played though. 

Holy crap, seeing that map brings mega nostalgia.

Not sure about his clothing colour but I suppose it's ok for him to have multiple sets of similar war drobe. My choir teacher is like that.

Using an image editor like Paint.net or GIMP or, if you just need to crop it, MSPaint

Gah.. google+ service so inherintly useful.. but so.. google+.. 

Damnit. I might actually have to start getting people to use it now

Gir that model is quite schweet.

Karpman made one in XSI that I have the source for, if you want to pick up where he left off. not too difficult a model to just start new on anyway though

That's why he said to look at the thermal code, it is specifically damaging only armor at some point in the code. You can then ignore the part after where it checks for 0 armor and then proceeds to do damage to hp.

By the way, ion weapons are canonically supposed to do at least a little bit of damage to organic nervous systems.

Ok I can't resist.

I think it would be nice to just have .map exporting for some of the major 3d packages and only use Radiant as a compiler and for the scripting.

 

I think we're getting a little off topic though but I would like to discuss more on level design options, if one of the major 3d packages could just build maps that would be amazing since the tools and interface is far superior.

*Ahem* See @@Xycaleth? I'm not crazy! I'm really onto something here, I need a python coder to make my dreams real though.

10, 10 10 10 ! I agree I didn't like it at first, but I like the brightness, fits the white page theme.

That's.. Confusing. Oh well.

It's moose. Many moose. One moose. I saw a moose. I saw a group of moose.

This is a good reason for getting anal about hinting. The more you subdivide the map into tiny chunks in your control, the less tri are being added to a single frame at once. huge jumps frm 20k tris to 50k tris such as exiting a building are easily responsible for these kind of frame rate jumps. One way around this is to make the player exit a building by first following a perpindicular path between two doors, instead of just one door out, like so:

_____________door_______

____________|_______door_|

where the top door is *not* area portaled, but the inside one is. This allows for the outside area to be sequentially added to the frame the closer the player gets to that outside door from the inside door, aided even more by manually hinting on the exterior.

Obviously this won't always make sense, but it does work for government buildings, clubs, etc that might want to lock an inside door while keeping an interior hallway accessible and unlocked.
