Yeah I know it sucks in the FPS department, there's just too much going on in such large opened areas. But I did do it pretty much like I imagined it, if fact it came out better than what I imagined so in that respect I'm very happy with it. As for t...  [Read More]

I'm glad you liked it! As far as the meteors hurting you, not in multiplayer..I think they do in Single player though!...  [Read More]

Wudan, It's a big part of it. Like I said before, I took out the lava as a test (changed it to a regular texture) and the FPS went up quite a bit. But if you think that TCgen will be helpful, I'm willing to give it a try. It would be a shame after a...  [Read More]

I don't know yet, I'll have to see how it goes...I'm working on it now. I don't want to do a WIP on it until I'm sure its going to work. As for the other maps, when I left work today my Map 1 of the Korriban maps was still compiling, so I won't know...  [Read More]

The project I mentioned in the last post that I said "I'd move on to" is a really cool idea that I and other ppl have had for awhile (in varying degrees) but no one has quite tried it the way I'm going to. I guarentee it will be fun and no...  [Read More]

Sure there was, I wouldn't be beta testing it if I didn't like it. I really like the concept and the design and the choice of color. Haven't really tested the gameplay yet. Ok, well like I said before, thanks for the input because I really value yo...  [Read More]

The stage is visually astounding. Everything looks quite good, except perhaps for those few instances of stretching White mentioned. The meteors, the rising and falling lava/rocks, the collapsing bridges... it's all quite complete and well thought ou...  [Read More]

Ok, I had a real quick look so far, but I ran across some things that should probably be fixed: Performance. It's really lagging right now. I got an average of 10 fps in the first map. It's a little better in the other 2 maps. I suggest taking out...  [Read More]

Well I'm happy to say it compiled fine and the entire map pack is almost ready for release. However, when I was putting in the bot routes, I found an area in Map 3 that has a serious problem and I wouldn't have noticed it if not for a bot getting &qu...  [Read More]

It's a combination of things, it's a very large map, it has a LOT of open area, efx and I think the thing that most causes the long compile time is the light emitting lava shader which takes up a huge portion of the map. As a test, I took the lava ou...  [Read More]

Well I agree with you, I don't like the night sky choices I had, so I went ahead with the "day" version. I'll look at the night skies again once more before I release it, but my choices are limited and quite frankly, I've been working on th...  [Read More]

Thanks, and a little update. Like I've said before, I have maps 1 & 2 finished. I'm doing (what I hope) is a last compile of Map 3, the only thing is, the compile takes like 35 hours to complete! So I had done one starting last Friday night and...  [Read More]

Looking pretty good! I don't know if this has been suggested yet, but if you have an xbox, GC or PS2, (I think they have it for PC too) rent or buy Harry potter and the chanber of secrets. EA did a really good job of recreating the the entire school...  [Read More]
