You looking at the Coke machine in a mirror? You've got some weird texture stuff going on, like the "anyone bedroom" fireplace. You need to be much better at picking your textures to fit the architecture. What's with those slat thingies i...  [Read More]

Absolutely not. Reread what I wrote more carefully, then read this post. Let's say you have 6 images (you must remember the distinction between textures or images, which are static jpg or tga files, and shaders, the special-effects things you define...  [Read More]

Look at skies.shader and check out how sky textures are referred to in those codes. It's pretty simple, you just type out the name of the sky texture without the _ft, _rt, _dn, etc tags. You can use a set of textures in as many shaders as you want....  [Read More]

acdc - Every level has two elevators to the levels above and below it. The levels around the shaft have the added dynamic of the shaft itself, which can be jumped up or down. So I'm not sure what you mean by only one elevator to the base area... As f...  [Read More]

(1) Lassev is exactly right, 60 FPS is perfectly fine, even for a MP map with lots of players. Hey, if my newest map ran at 60 with 15 bots I'd be dancing. Some areas sit at 27 or so, but it's only one place, and it's still quite playable. The human...  [Read More]

Ah, Q4 will most likely be based on the same basic principles. A Q3 tut would only have to be modified, not rewritten, to fit Q4. The real question is when a Q4 Star Wars game would come along, because without THAT, this community is headed downhill...  [Read More]

Ha, no. You've gotta load up the image in a good image editing program and make sure the alpha channel is set to 0% (full transparency) in those areas. I'm not gonna explain as it varies from program to program, and that's not so much a mapping quest...  [Read More]

First, some relatively minor gripes: - I'd like the ground texture outside better if it wasn't blown up so damn big. Right now all I see are brown and green pixels. - In shot 05, your struts against the walls have ugly misaligned textures. - What'...  [Read More]

This looks like a great setting, Antizac. I can't wait to play it and see it for myself. I love your vision of Coruscant! A few extra buildings in the skybox wouldn't hurt, though...to make it look just that much more crowded....  [Read More]
