<div class="IPBDescription">Yuck</div>I've noticed that lots of people are using this funny looking texture as a ceiling texture, and it looks really funny.  I dont have a pic to show you, but the texture is metal with these funny looking circle dots on it.  It just doesn't look like a ceiling thats all.  Hope people know what I'm talking about.

    Probably, and FLOOR_BUMPBIG too. The only other one I could think of was METFLOOR, but those bumps are more like ovals than circles....

    On a side note....I haven't used them once <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    I used that bumpy floor texture for the ceiling alot in my old map (ns_nothing). It looked fine to me. Just a matter of opinion I guess. I like it when people are creative with their texture use... as long as it looks good. Heh.

    I would make my own textures if I had the slightest amount of talent in the field, but I don't, so...

    Your own textures only look good in-game if they are good textures :-P I not only use a foor texture for most of my ceilings (there arent many ceiling textures), but I use the same texture for the floor! And it looks good anyway.

    In case you're wondering, its the metal diamond floor texture

    Right, There really is nothing wrong with using say a diamond metal plating texture on a ceiling even if there would be no realistic reason for a person to design a real building that way. It may not be logical, but most things aren't in games anyways. There really are more important things to be worrying about than making sure your texture use is logical. Like how fun your level is, for example. I don't care if you've got the most realistic and amazing looking level, if it isn't fun to play in, it's not worth the time involved. That <i>is</i> the primary reason people play games, isn't it? For fun?

    Anyway, just sharing my opinion... take it for that.

    It doesn't really matter where you use it as long as it looks right. I use walls on floors, doors as walls whatever..

    Ahah, I figured as much...

    Yes I made them...with the AT&T online voice utility, and some manipulation in Goldwave. The map I made them for is no more, but hopefully I can still incorporate them into the new one.

    I was trying to get the voice to sound like "Father" from Alien Resurrection, but that's as close as I got...

    Would you be able to make me a few for ns_sentinal? if i gave you a script?

  • CyonProCyonPro Join Date: 2002-02-02 Member: 154Members
    Yeah, the big part is the manipulation in Goldwave....but if I had a script to go by It would make it easier for me... just <a href="mailto:napkins@yahoo.com" target="_blank">e-mail</a> them to me and I could probably do a few this weekend or something...

    Only if you let me incorporate ns_sentinel into my plotline for ns_argus.....it *is* a ship of some kind, I presume? <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    BTW, is NS_Sentinel on NS World? I don't recall seeing anything about it.
