Because newer games have completely different engines that work in completely different ways when it comes to map sizes and how much they can fit into it.

People in CE shove quite a bit in their maps though.

I replaced some of my bitmaps recently with lower resolution versions. I gained a lot of space in my maps. ._.

back on topic? please?

FTR if your internet is that sucky, why are you playing CE online? not only do you lag, these people with dial up/broadband connections are CAUSING lag.

so plz, back on topic. making a few LARGE modifications. will post when progress is made.

to the guy above this point.

Even if you really dont care to even model this from the tut, just look at the first few min when he goes and shows the tools. Trust me, even if your things turn out the same, you will end up having awesome models in a few months.

meh its been a while since I've decided to continue this model.
crit. is welcome

eh, idk, I kind of liked the old one better, this one looks like you slapped a futuristic laser gun to the grip o_O

Not all of us play MP.

Actually, we don't cause the lag, the servers do. The players may lag, but as long as the servers don't, the game doesn't actually care. Which is why the player on the other end of my connection never seems to die.

Ha, i should learn to read.

I'm big into older games, especially retro FPSes. I've never seen a data system as insanely space-consuming as CE's. Ever.

What separates CE is absolutely everything is stored inside each individual .map file, assets are not shared out and are locked in. You can't make a .map file to hold content that can be used in other maps. Had that been a feature, you could have a global CMT content .map of 100 MB, and a map pack with maps that would be probably no more than 10MB. You could have ten maps, and have that come to a total of 200 MB rather than 1,000 MB.

The result of CE's system is ridiculous sized cache files.

Yup :P

Melee needs work

You should not be able to see the flag on the 1st frame of the ready animation. It needs to come into view. Otherwise when you switch weapons, it will abruptly be in your face.

It's the uv coordinates

omg stop torturing me with your reach weapons >+o (fear the plus of doom =o)

nice veex ^_^ plasma repeater next? maybe the needler rifle??

Imo , that shotgun needs to be more rounded.

I think it's just the lack of smoothing groups. Makes it look like ass.

he fixed it,look at his pics now

I couldnt seem to be able to get the part under front sights smoothed, though :\


Edited by Invader Veex on May 16, 2010 at 11:11 AM

the texture hides most of the smoothing problems

Please tell me thats not a texture.. and its just color placeholders.. right? D=

yeah, it's solid colors everything I've been posting is placeholder. :p
Get on xfire!! >:o
