FF_Colossus (working title) Movie added!

[o_sta_sirtiger]

Uh, either way, whenever you decide to release the .bsp, people will be able to get it. Also, why would he mind? I don't see a reason as he seems very generous and likes helping around.

[o_bumgravy]

Either way its not mine to give but if PHISH says its ok I have no problem releasing the prefab waterfall.

[o_sta_sirtiger]

I'm curious about something BG: what's the purpose to make it look "not 100% sexy" @ beginning.....then towards end "super 100% sexy"? I don't seem to understand the logic. Don't get me wrong, but the beginning is just as sexy as the rest. However, the final blows it off and looks so much better than the rest. Explain porfavor!

[PHISH]

yeah its fine, go for it

[o_sta_sirtiger]

Repeat after me!

I really like the sound of the Progressive Style AvD you have going on. It sounds like kinda a medium between Dusbowl and Avanti.

[o_ma|2io]

Good i like the setup for your map.... Blue is Attackers, Red is Defenders. Keep it simple

[o_bumgravy]

No this map is payback for dustbowl!

Im gonna prefab the waterfall and upload it when i get the water texture speeds right so heads up.

[o_ma|2io]

Call the map "compulsive" it sounds cool for a map name.

[o_bumgravy]

Yeah ive been trying to think of a new name its been colossus as working title for too long now and it doesnt really fit anymore!

[o_bumgravy]

Ok heres my waterfall for you guys to use/ look at. I don't mind if you want to rip this for your map, but please credit me and PHISH for the textures if you do.

Anyway heres the link

[o_nezumi]

It's been colossus for so long now you can't go back dude. It'll be really confusing for me anyway.

If you could find someone help you with the model shit, you could try some shit like this for a waterfall.

Thanks a heap for the waterfall!

as you play through it it looks better, starting off with simple architecture gettig more complicated as you get to the final cap

Why not just make the whole thing super-pretty?

As for a name, think something like 'old world' or 'temple' or 'journey'.. pfeh, i don't know.

[o_gambit]

how about "FF_Aceldama"

i love that name...i only suggest it because i dont think i can create a map fitting of that name...otherwise i would have kept it to myself


Aceldama(a-sell-da-ma)

Definition: 1. field of blood.
2. a place of dreadful associations.

[o_sta_sirtiger]

Imbrifer, I asked him that already, and he did not answer the question .

[o_dragonjojo]

ff_myst cause it reminds me of that game myst

Looks good but beyond what I can be arsed learning. As you devs say, won't be in first release, but something to look into

Id be interested in seeing the results if anyone can work this though, looks pretty shweet.

Because when i go back and pimp the first areas it will look better than the last, then I'll have to redo that to keep up! I have achieved at least a modicum of continuity with my themes and architecture which is the thing I find most difficult when mapping, so I want to leave it as is. Also, I like the idea of people playing this for the first time without having seen it, thinking "this is alright" at the beginning, and then coming on my waterfall.

Where I come from ah selled a mah is jakey for "I have sold somebody's mother on the black market".

I am open to more name suggestions. I was thinking along the lines of ff_progression or ff_overrun , something like that, that indicates gameplay style maybe.

i think the solution in his 3rd paragraph is actually not very hard, and not relying on models. you just make a simple mask texture that masks the beginning and ending of the waterfall, hence making it nicer. and you can basicly copy his .vmt

[o_nezumi]

You can make a 2 texture blend that has the waterfall as the first texture and transparent alpha as the second, then make the waterfall a displacement.
