yes let's all blame dubb for the high texture counts

[Dubbilex]

Hypocritical bastard!

Yes well, I happened to spend four hours fixing mine  :rolleyes:

:lol:


Oh yes - and as an update, the texture usage is down to 19 textures now, .67 megabytes.   So the only problem left is bob's computer room/bijiy's hive.

[lolfighter]

I'm sorry for interrupting you guys again, but I'm curious: How far has this thing progressed? Anything like a percentage or a progress bar or something?

[BobTheJanitor]

I'd say geometry work is at about... 60-70%. Detail, lights, and texturing is at about... 30%. Left to be built is the central room with the elevator, the large room below that, and then the hive below that. I'll be doing most of that as soon as we stop fiddling around with texture related problems and can get the whole map itself in a position to be worked on. I'm putting a firm stop to working on multiple bits at once, the cleanup required negates any time saved. Also, the area around bijiy's hive needs to be finished, there's no hallways there at the moment. And there's some halls around MS still needing building. So there's a fair bit left to be done before we even have a playable beta version. But as soon as there is one, you'll all be the first to know about it.

Here's a new hammer screenie to show that we are, in fact, still working on this. :p

[LowCrawler]

SIGN ME UP for hooting and cheering and whatnot of the sort of work that isn't actually work!

i am the best asshole in the world!

so if you can make a map that i can't somehow make fun of, then you're good.

so sign me as "Project Ass"

[Malevolent]

Wewt, another pipe orgy!

[Dubbilex]

Fine fine.  I'll post two screens myself to show that, while I've been slacking lately, I have actually been slacking mightily lately.  Oh wait - that didn't come out right...


Here is one of the Unpolished hallway under the marine spawn.  And no that elevator doesn't work - it's decoration.

[Dubbilex]

and a closeup of the actual shaft.

[Malevolent]

Well, your part of the map is looking good too, Dubb.

[Mr.Bill]

that hall resembles on of mine... SHE LIVES!!!

Well, I've just been idling in the chan... changing the topic and pointing ut that bob is a fast worker, thats basicly my limit now :-D

[Decimator]

Yeah, we don't let MrBill touch it anymore.  We keep him in a cage and poke him with pointy sticks.

[fatty]

i just saw a closeup of dubb's shaft  

[Dark]

sweet it lives again

[Decimator]

It never died, it's just a camouflaged turtle that pops its head out of its shell every now and then. :p

[BobTheJanitor]

Hrmm... map... vent shaft that I've been meaning to work on for a month now... hrmmmm.

Did I mention that aligning textures around pipes is probably the thing I hate most in the world about mapping? (And this vent shaft involves a lot of giant pipes that have to be textured outside and inside?) So yeah, every time I go to work on it I kind of... suddenly think of something else I've got to do.  :help:

[Decimator]

Bob, align the textures to face and it suddenly becomes much easier.

[Dubbilex]

Bob, align the textures to face and it suddenly becomes much easier.

I usually just apply the texture, make sure it's running in the right direction, and set the x-shift and y-shift to zero.  it lines up nicely.

[Mr.Bill]

If I were bob, Id leave em the way they are and left some other poor bastard take care of it.

key words: GROUP EFFORT

[Kodiac]

my head hurts from reading all of the words i dont understand, but it sounds like you'll be needing a playtester or two eventually...........let me know if/when you do
