BlackPanther · February 2004

I personnaly don't like the lighting much. Seems too bright overall and the "main" light seems to come from right in the middle of the room then from the texlights. :/

[besides] what kind of facility would it be without a rediculous array of pipes leading everywhere?  </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> 
A data processing facility? A personell facility? Maybe cargo transport or research? It could be a lot of things without needing a zazisworth of pipes. (dunno why but that seems like the correct unit of measurement...... essentially it compares the number of something to the amount of unnecessary delay between zazi's map releases)

Either way the pipes are cool though. I'm going to suggest co_distill, co_exchange (of gasses), co_sublimation, and co_hydrophobic. (most of those, if not all, suck, but there ya go)

Keep up the good work.

SuperTeflon · February 2004

Mind if I ask what texture those little white dots are?

For infestation use {alien_alpha1, solid, not additive (even though it's black)

Could you be a bit more specific?

Also to superteflon - the square white-blue lights come from the tanith wad, although i don't actually remember seeing them in tanith <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />.

And thanks for telling me the infestation textures name teflon.

I think what BlackPanther means is there is lights, where there is no real lighting. The latest screenshots has a light underneath the pipes, but there seems to be a lack of light bouncing up on to the pipes. Higher the brightness level on that texture light a bit, would make the room feel cosy <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Olmy · February 2004

I think he is saying its too bright in the middle isn't he? I wish i could understand why he doesn't like my lighting at all <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />.

[edit] Refering to my last screenshot - the panels with light trimmings : the top surfaces no longer emit light, hopefully this will make the ceiling darker, and as a result make the pipe light trimming's more dramatic. Also the panels are lowered slightly.

Olmy · February 2004

and i'm back - pics :

Olmy · February 2004

this is a u bend corridor leading to the other side of the hive

Olmy · February 2004

agh sorry about the size of the last one i forgot to resize it.

this is a picture of another corridor that leads into the main hive area.

I might go to work on the light brightness values as alot of my pics seem to be coming out a bit dark (even with added brightness)

Thaldarin · February 2004

Lighting lookin a bit bland on the last 3 pics. I see you've decided to take up the art of square pipes too. I don't like the areas very much I'm afraid, just hasn't got that x-factor, I also feel the style change in the map is a bit too drastic.

Olmy · February 2004

as i said ill be messing with the rad values to maybe boost the brightness of some lights, and what is this vague x-factor you talk of?

Starchy · February 2004

Now that really is nice, lovely pipes!

Olmy · February 2004

i've made the pipes rounder and used the chromy pipe texture. I'll be adding some klaxons in that room <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /> .

Olmy · February 2004

must.... keep on front ... PAAGE! /dies

heres a few more

Olmy · February 2004

this is the ms, the cc is quite dark, but its there (in the back)

brute_force · February 2004

Sweeet. I love the style you got there. Maybe you could put a spotlight on the cc to illuminate it. Nice. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Olmy · February 2004

i was thinking the exact same thing <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

HellBringer · February 2004

lemme know if u get the steam working. i havent the slightest clue as to how to get the particle system working.

Looks extremely small, could get way too crowded. Might just be the angle though. I hope to see another shot of the ms soon <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

This feels celshaded, verynice anyway..

Olmy · February 2004

ms might be a little cramped, but not as much as say, co_core's ms, or at least i hope so <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' />

[edit] thanks for the comments

MeanMrMustard · February 2004

Looks very nice, I like the lighting and the texture placement.
It seems that you have grasped the edgy (injoke to your name <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> ) atmosphere very well.

and that x-factor, I feel this map has got the Q factor!

<u>Note: The Q Factor was very popular throughout the 19th Century among painters and Poets, e.g. William Wordsworth once stated:</u>

<i>"The Q is almost like the x, yet its value generates from the ever growing seed of popular-wealth, which flowers amongst the high-standard mapping of VHE"</i>

haha, I must get something to eat <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

Lovely mapping.

Olmy · February 2004

lol thanks and, have you had any sleep in the last week?

MeanMrMustard · February 2004

not much <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

ahhhhhhhh, william wordsworth is climbing through my window, angered by my title reference, and poor poetry, oh and by my shoes...for some reason.

....

I think this answers the sleep comment.

Olmy · February 2004

Question about ambient sounds : how can i have them not flood into other rooms where there are multiple levels . The sounds just comes through the floors and its very annoying.

[edit] to mustard : sounds like a good idea

DarkATi · February 2004

Yes! Finally someone who knows how to use YellGrey! Looks fantastic edge, great work.

EDIT: Forgot vital information, lol!

A) Sounds come through floors and walls, sorry, set it's radius to small radius under spawn flags maybe.

B) Add a spotlight above that CC.

C) I <3 U & Th1$ M4P

Olmy · February 2004

lmao thanks dark ati, yeah i forgot about the small radius check flag, i'll try that! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

blueman · February 2004

Olmy · February 2004
