O.O dude...... *is speechless*

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Ah! Post jump! I love the Swedish one, (The map that is! :naughty: ) but that fog does ruin it. Oh, and why is the flag see-through?

Iswer's WIP
 

Here's some of my projects.
The most recent project (the first one) is the medieval map. I think itll be finished in a week or so.. at most..
The second one is a duelmap, that just got to be betatested.
The third one is an old mapproject that came to the betatesting.. but it was too buggy.. maybe Ill start build on it again.

NOTE That these pictures arn't final. F.ex. The most pics are just a basic light -meta compile!

It doesn't really look good with that fog, huh? should I remove it?

http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/8833/shot0021nx0.jpg
yea.. the fog is disturbing abit..

The Runestone there is actually a real one from sweden ;)
And the watchtower up there is based on swedish design (yupp, swedish theme)

http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/2875/shot0031wh3.jpg
yea, swedish flag, ofcource!
This house is made through referencepictures of the swedish cityhall in stockholm.

This church is made through reference pics of the church in Lund, Sweden.

Now let's change map!

http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/8277/shot0006qy5.jpg
Not a very big map, huh?

http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/8277/shot0006qy5.jpg
No, you can not be on all platforms, and that got its reason..

Not very much more to show there, let's change map again!

http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/5831/shot0003ed5.jpg
yea, as you probably can see, It's Alien Vs Predator -based..

http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7969/shot0008mr8.jpg
And it's quite a big map.. maybe too big.. :uhm:

http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/8312/shot0013mq3.jpg
Jus' one more pic..

Yupp, there's a marinebase back there!

Feel free to comment and come with suggestions!

Thanks, Iswer

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

i like the midevil map it looks sweet sence TK's was never finished we've never had a good one really thow urs blows his away

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Beautiful, simply beautiful. I think the medieval map is great, and perhaps they field can be added to the medieval one as a portion of it.

It just reminds me a bit of Hyrule - very cool.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

makes me think of a lot of the old quake 3 maps. I can't say I like the atmosphere though-- prob'ly cuz its just a meta.

I don't get the platforms. Perhaps a closer shot to show us what they are?

Looks good so far archetecturally and it seems like you have a nice texture set.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Ah, I love replies =)
The platform arnt finished, since I began to build on it after the beta. =)
The idea with it was that There should be a Alien (/marine) -spaceship on there.
and, sure, Ill show closer pictures - not of the platform tho.
Oh, really? I liked that map.. :(
Huh? I didnt really understand that.. You mean the field in the avp -map or a cornfield.. or what..?
yes, Ill delete the fog right off!!
And then Ill make the flag non-transparent ;)

Oh, I think I got some more pics..

http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/1029/shot0002dv6.jpg
Inside the building (In the avp-map)

http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/3986/shot0005rk2.jpg
Remember, this is a meta (It got no lights)

http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/3439/shot0011jh8.jpg
Inside the building.. (still.. meta..)

There isnt very much more I can show from the sweden-medieval-map.. I want to update before I show the new stuff..

However..

Now come with the bad critics!! hehe =D

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

need a light compile :P

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Wow! That look's great. Need a beta tester :D

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

wow is right. thats looking great

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

I got a question.

Since many don't like the musicchoice of mine in my maps, I want to ask you..
What kind of music do you think would fit into the medieval map?

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

I'm curious as to what kind of fps people who have tested the map get on what computer specs?

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

hmm maybe for a medevil map.... some medevil music... i mean like the ones with guitars and the instruments they used to play with
Or maybe a natural mix of music, birds, wind flow, ...but any music in concrete

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Its quite good, except on one place.. when down at the grassfield, looking up at the church and wall..
However, Its working fine on the other places.
I dont really know how to fix it - suggestions?

Oh, You mean like runescape music.. but not that blippy..
Thanks for replying! - Anyone else?

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Not really...but I forgot to mention that the map does look great, nice work!

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Area portal ALL the doors-- and you should note that when you do a VIS option compile, FPS turns out better by 10-20 points.

Hint brushes would also probably be nice to FPS, but you need to learn how to use them. Take your time reading the tutorials.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

i think the song "Stargate SG-1 - Return To Active Duty/General Hammond"
would be a great song for the map ^ a clip to see what it sounds like

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

hehe, you see, there isnt a single door in the map :rolleyes:

hmm, yea, Ill test and see how it fits into the map.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Nah, it's far too obviously from Stargate.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Oh.. great! 'ShadowSteelDragon' is the creator of 'Iswer's WIP' -.-

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Blame the post jump bug.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Whoa, im impressed, it reminds me of something out of Medieval Total War. The fog is a bit irritating though, i know because i had that on a map that i started making once lol...

I think what i did to fix it was make a really big skybox, much bigger than the actual map, and then just place the fog only around the actual map, so that it didnt fill the skybox. For some reason that seemed to fix it, and the skybox was covered by the fog like the rest of the map, so you didnt get the effect of having a foggy map and a clear skybox.

I hope that is of some help to you m8, keep up the good work, i like castle maps!

Noz

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Oh, really? Ill try that out..

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Nice looking maps. Lighting is great.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

This map is becoming unplayable because of the fps..
Right now, when its a lightcompile, the fps really stink. Help me out! (there isnt a single door in the map).

However.. It looks better tho.. Ill show ya.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Hmm... Use system/caulk on every surface which you can't see?

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

wow that looks great with the light compile thow i suggest a new water shader maby like the one's in midgar v3 or SJC kashyyyk, and 2 ?'s
1.) which music did u decide on?
2.) why is it that ur using all tp and not doors since I've seen the FPS droop when multiple TP are ocuring

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

well, I know what water you mean, and I dont really know if that would fit into the map..
1.) I decided to have a wind-ambient as "music" and several other ambients as sounds all around the map - such as more wind at the wall, 'clink, clank'-sound in the forge, holy music in church, and so on.
2.) First let me ask. What's "tp"?

yes, ofcource.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

didnt u say ur useing teleports insted of doors and what is the FPS anyway

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Frames Per Second.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

I think he was asking what the FPS was on the map. It also looks amazing, I can't wait to play with it. I'll agree with the diffrent water shader though.Besides that it's pretty damn near perfect. I might make the flag look a little more flaglike, and tone down the goldness of the tower, but that might just be your artistic expression. SO! I love how the church looks aswell. I can see how the fps could become a problem..

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

I dont think I did, did I? Well, however, I don't. What I meant is that there is doors, but not doors I can use areaportals at..
*raising my right eyebrow and looks strange..*
It might be the church and the wall that is causing the bad fps.. But maybe its the windows too. Ill try change all the windows to clamp-maps.. Maybe it will work alittle better then.

Okayokay, I get it, Ill change the water. Ill let you guys decide (will be up with pictures with different watershaders soon)

look a little more flaglike, hmm? tell me how! :D

And there will be gold at the clocktower-house, but I could remove the glow from them..

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

simple 5 letter word "boats"

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

And how do you propose to have boats in a game which has no support for aquatic vehicles whatsoever?

Unless you're going to suddenly build these guys a new game engine from scratch, it might be wise to suggest things that are actually possible, instead of the first random thought that comes out of your head.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

I actually planned to do a huge boat (with brushes/model) but I wont add anything 'til the fps is better.

Tssssss! all suggestions are welcome! :D

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Just tryin' to keep it real. :clueless:

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

what if you put a 'block npc' brush around the water so the boats/vehicles cant get out?

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

.....

Have you ever seen a boat in Jedi Academy? No?

That's because the game has no code for them, therefore even if you made one the game would have no idea what to do with it.

It's map object or zilch as far as boats are concerned.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

I"m not sure if you have room for it, or if you could do it without making major changes.. but you could add a wall in the middle or in between the middle and the water area. Then you'd have a seperate "docks" area, and a "city" area. Of course, you'd areaportal the gate. May help FPS. Looks good so far!

Also, I think a static ship (or two?) is a good idea.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

If you created a vehicle which floated, and kept it tightly pressed between npc no entry brushes or whatever the shader is in the system directory you could easily create a boat illusion.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

raid 3 the map has a speed boat now with a little model edditing (or a lot) it could be possible

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

ya u make a boat swooop and increase the hover hight/power forget which one and it will float and then just make to steep of a brosh so the swoop cant go over it ive seen it done before

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Well.. Im not planning any boats right now..

Okay, but actually I think it's better with how it is now.
Thanks for suggesting anyways! I like that =)

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

THAT IS AWESOME!! YOu have learned so much since I last chatted with you.

WOW. Im going to look for a song that I think fits you can turn it down if you want to. Im impressed though Iswer.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

http://download.yousendit.com/078EB31361D5B4D7

Iswer I think this will fit it well. Please try it if you wish. Best wishes to you Iswer.
Also if you make trailers that would kick ass in a trailer.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

yeaaa? *looking somewhere else than at the screen* hehe, thank you.
And I need your Email.. Since my Pm is full.. overfull.. megafull...

This song does actually sound really good! Where did you get it?
Do you have more? If so, send me! =D
It reminds me of a great band called.. uhm, let's see.. Hedningarna! A swedish group, ofcource :lol:

I think I will use it. I havent tested it yet tho.
And I think I'll mix it with the wind file too. :nodding:

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Iswer you are correct it is from a swedish group .

I can get more songs if you want. This song was just my 1st impression . I feelt that it might fit your map after I viewed your awesome screens. I knew you needed something with a dance pace, with mystic qualities and class.

I have more quiet and slow songs that are like a gathering . They are more collective and mysterious as opposed to this song which is loud in a medieval style and ready for a war or duels.

Hahahahah. I am film director amature so I was able to look at your screens and visualize a scene and the music choices came clear. I have a few more songs I might consider worthy of your map.
I do have more for you and I would of course help your projects in any way I could. Especially when it's so easy :lol:

My email is dr.korytco@yahoo.com

Oh Im in a good English class at college now :eek:
I know that's amazing . I do well in the class. I hope that you see improvement in my grammar. Last time we chatted my grammar was horrible.

Best of wishes to you Iswer, keep mapping.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

briankory that song is so kool its got a very celtic-norse feal to it

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Ok ,then I'll serve you up some more songs. I'll just post them here. I can get msn but right now I am in college so I dont know how often I could use msn.

Re: Iswer's WIP
 

Oh, Just my darn luck.. all my versions of Gtkradiant have stopped working.. Ive reinstalled all of them several times.. ****

Yes, Thank you, more music would be nice :).

Do you have Msn?

hahaha, And you mean my english was better than yours!? Pfth! :lol:
