    Well, I'm not 100% sure what this room is going to be <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> It might wind up being Maine Start atm... I have 3 possibilities:

    Docking Control Hive

    Docking Control: Marine Start

    or the Ready Room...


    problem is, I can't take any screenshots in game casue STEAM keeps turning em to pitch black BS XD

    well, here's the best I can get with the current lack of co-operation by STEAM... stupid... facking... fugly SCREENSHOT BUGS! ARGH!

    anywho, here's what I managed to get... of over 50 screenshots, this is ALL that tunred out...

    Sorry for the HORRIBLE views... this is NOT my pick of the litter...

    Anyway, on to the description

    This room might be either

    A) ReadyRoom
    B) Hive Location: Docking Control
    C) Docking Control: Marine Start

    Textures are NOT the finalized ones for most of the walls and roof, and the place where the ramp DOWN thru the floor is is a simple box with a null all around it... I'm still deciding what I want to put there (could be where the command chair goes... like the belly turret of a B-17 bomber!) But anyway, this is mainly an architectural update... any better/worse than what the old room was... considering this is only around 5 hours work total... much of it spent trying to fix a bug with my one ramp (a SINGLE verticie was off by like, HALF a milimeter... and it caused a leak XD) ... but wow... looking at the preview... man, I need to get this screenshot issue resolved... I'm only showing half of the darn room and a lot of the real architecture is behind me! I just can't get it to show up... *groan*

    It's 2 am... I'm going to go sleep on it...

    I would make that a readyroom not a hive. Maybe a marine start?
  • JezpuhJezpuh Join Date: 2003-04-03 Member: 15157Banned
    Ever wondered why everything turned pitch black? Maybe it's because of crappy lighting..
  • Jean_Luc_PicardJean_Luc_Picard Join Date: 2003-02-03 Member: 13051Members
    JezPuh, I'm just going to pretend you don't exist...

    Hydra, I'm not sure... maybe <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Those ramps are a good start, try and keep that theme up and start decorating the room with a vaguely similar theme...

    To be honest: It looks like something that left my bowels this morning.

    You realize it's spelled samurai, eh? And I hope all those gray walls are simply awaiting texturing <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
  • Jean_Luc_PicardJean_Luc_Picard Join Date: 2003-02-03 Member: 13051Members
    Yes, the origional post was made early morning... my bad <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    And no, the walls wont' stay grey... almost none of the texturing is done... I'm not sure how to texture it till I figure out what I'm doing to use the room for... i think it'll be marine start tho <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Also: I have more work done... namely added the comm chair and finished the below-decks room... only thing is, 0 out of 12 of my screenshots tunred out... damn steam...
  • JezpuhJezpuh Join Date: 2003-04-03 Member: 15157Banned
    Seriously, what are you you blaming steam for? For making your screenshots looks crappy? Sorry but, no. It's not steam fault. It's either the map itself or your videocard.

    Steam doesn't take screenshots.
  • kowkow Join Date: 2003-06-19 Member: 17524Members, Constellation
    could you please stop posting?
  • Jean_Luc_PicardJean_Luc_Picard Join Date: 2003-02-03 Member: 13051Members
    *wonders why k\o\w is talking to himself:

    Well, whatever the heck takes the SS's, it comes out a blank freaking square, and this only started for me after that last steam update occured ( I never noticed till then since I don't have much need for em till now) but I know it worked before (as I had one for reference on a steam ID)

    Anywho, the screenshots will look VERY horrible as

    A) As you know, I'm a stupid Onboard driver... software only (I didn't know that... this thing IS supposed to support OpenGL tho... 0o')
    B) My screenshots are being flucked up by something
    C) I'm not a pro mapper, so I'm still working on lighting
    and D) DUH, it's not done!
  • JezpuhJezpuh Join Date: 2003-04-03 Member: 15157Banned
    Well, we have a very simple solution to that. Don't post screenshots.

    Don't post them untill you have uncrappied them and have something wich we might we able to see.

    Hence why I didn't POST the pure black ones...

    *coughs*

    and if you can tell me how to fix the problem with it being pure black, I'd be much appreciative
  • JezpuhJezpuh Join Date: 2003-04-03 Member: 15157Banned
    Eh.. right. So basicly you're posting the best looking crappy screenshots.
    Seriously, get things straight first. Then post screenshots.
  • Jean_Luc_PicardJean_Luc_Picard Join Date: 2003-02-03 Member: 13051Members
    *sighs*


    If you guys really want me to stop mapping that badly, heck, I'll do it. I'm about fed up with the BS this is getting me.

    I know it isn't the best
    I know the screencaps suck, not only because I'm new, but because my vid system (a crappy onboard POS) sucks

    I know I have a lot to learn, but how do you learn, but by making mistakes?
  • JezpuhJezpuh Join Date: 2003-04-03 Member: 15157Banned
    WTH. When have we ever said that. We're trying to tell you to take your time. Noone's good at mapping the first time. It takes time. We're basicly telling you to wait with the screenshots untill you have more expirience.
  • Jean_Luc_PicardJean_Luc_Picard Join Date: 2003-02-03 Member: 13051Members
    Dude, the thing is, I really thought it DID look good! And then to come here and have 2 people post something like, nice try BUT you need to do this, is ok... but then when like, 5 others post OMG, THAT IS SH*T and post stupid stuff like an image of Hammer being dragged to the recycle bin... hell, it certainly is a bit of a turn off now isnt' it!

    JezPuh, you're a real ****, but I guess your high post count lets you do that, eh? You too k\o\w...what's your excuse? Honestly, both of you need to grow up a bit.

    Jean Luc, the map is actually starting to look decent, I happened to like the dark, kind of creepy screenshots you posted. (Most recent ones I think.) As a newbie to the computer design scene, I know what kind of troubles you're going through. Just keep up the work, get yourself a video card, dont let **** like those two influence anything you do, and get us progress updates on the map. No more ready room! I want to see a hive location, marine start, a double resource area, the works.
  • JezpuhJezpuh Join Date: 2003-04-03 Member: 15157Banned
    My postcount what? Oh, that stupid number? Naw, it doesn't.

    Anyway, just stay the hell out of it. We've talked on irc. Things SEEM to be straightend out now..

Otherwise, if you can somehow stop making threads about your fantastic one room maps, then continue mapping.

    Seriously, your thread is the only WIP thread which contains a map that has ONE ROOM. Crappy or not, it's not even a map yet.

    Well technically it is a wip map even if it is a one room map <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> Still no reason to bash him into the ground like this.

    I personally have the feeling that this is a great thread. even if I havn't replied anything yet <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> But I'm looking into it pretty often.
    We all know that Jean Luc is a newbie and started with mapping recently, and I really see a progress in what he does. And yes, maybe there ar people who get annoyed by topics like these, and yes what he posts might not be comparable (?)with someone who maps since a few years. But I certainly have respect for jean luc being so constant and not quitting because some people love it to bash beginners.
    Keepp up the good work. It surely is a long and hard way to go to get a good mapper with some quality results, but you're on the right way. Asking for feedback and trying to improve is the best thing you can do to learn properly.
