New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

Hi!

This is my first map to be released, though I have been playing around with the mapping technology for a couple of years now. You may have seen me online under the name Crewman Cronin, hence the name of the map-- USS Cronin. It's going to be a small starship with a bridge, engineering, crew quarters, armory, etc. I'm about 20% done with the beta-- I have a corridor and the crew quarters. Here's some screenies-- I would appreciate some feedback.

BTW, that's a rough schematic, but the on the top-down, part of the tube going up the left side of the main hull is the corridor in the pic.

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

Looking good, I love these types of maps. :)

The only thing is that I wonder if ornamental rugs are allowed in crew quarters such as those. ;) I personally like it...

The chair is floating :)

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

Yeah wot he said the chair is floating and its a bit blocky for example the beds just look like bricks(dont take if offensively i hav a tendency to speak my mind)

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

yeah i just notcied the chair

and the beds are a bit blocky too-- this is my first map, and I'm not too good with complex geometry...

Thanks for the feedback, though. Consturctive criticism is great.

New Screenies!

I finished the main corridor, the ladder to the bridge, and the sickbay/transporter room (it's a small ship), and I'm about 30% done: I still need to make the bridge, storage/armory/brig, engineering, the warp nacelles, jeffires tubes, and the mess hall.
Here you go, and as always, feedback is appreciated!

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

no bad screenies.
u fixed the beds :)
The transporter doesnt look all bad, it looks really good for a small ship :???: :)

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

So? You can't expect the gravity plating to work all the time all over the ship... ;)


Those are great screenshots, definently downloading this when it's released. :)

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

Does anyone know how to get console sounds (the beeps and stuff when you press buttons) to work more than once?

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

I believe you have to check the box "always on" and have a wait 1 value in the trigger.

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

Thanks a lot. By the way, I've come up with a few ideas that will make this map unique-- don't just expect a ship. There'll be a lot more.

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

I know that this has been answered but...
When i create a target_speaker it doesn't work I know how to make it i folowed a tutorial by a trusted source but when i create the target_)speaker the sound does not wor can any1 help?

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

Are you putting the sound's path in correctly?
Press "n" to open the Target--Speaker, and put sound on the top line, and sound/[directory of sound file]/[name of file.wav or .mp3] on the bottom line, and press enter.
Hope that helps!

Work continues steadily, even though it's exam week-- :deal:
I'm actually quite far along on the ship, about 40%, but too lazy to update the pic... :confused:
I have two more exams, tomorrow and tuesday, but after that I should be able to get a lot more work done.
Until then, here's some more screenies, including a couple shots of the finished crew quarters, complete with shower, beds, and all sorts of opening panels, two pics of an access door and circuits in sickbay, a picture of the beginning of the cargo bay, and two pics of the shuttle/escape pod at the front of the ship. Enjoy!
P.S. The beta shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks. Of course, the beta is just the ship; i plan on adding an away mission a la Delta v2, plus some more rather interesting features.

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

That's right, EVERYONE loves new screenies! Map is now 45% done; at this rate the beta is only weeks away! Here we have the bar, which I mapped at 11:00 last night, the new door on the escape pod/shuttlecraft, and the updated craft itself. Plus, I finally updated my banner!

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

That doesn't look all too bad :) Nice work, although I'll save my final judgement when I get to play it ;)

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

Question how do i get a forcefield?

how do i get a forcefield that only shows itself when touched?

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

To make it shown when its touched? Hmm...

You'll have to have your normal FF, then a trigger_multiple right next to it on both sides. Then have the trigger multiple target a delay entity, so it fires only a few seconds...ugh, its complicated and hard to explain, but if I do it GTK I could do it for you if you need it.

For an FF that is, the FF needs to be a func_usable, and key 'team' and value '2' so that it cannot be used. have 'start_off' checked, and if it triggered by another func_usable, and then you've got yourself an FF. I believe there is a downloadable tutorial for FF's on effiles, but whoever made it forgot to make it nonusable.

Re: New RPG Map-- USS CRONIN
 

Hmm... here's some more screenies, but they're kinda old. I've begun the upper deck, and I'm almost done with the captain's ready room, with nice big windows. w00t!

edit: oops, looks like i already posted them. Oh well. More to come!
