it would be hilarious if someone made a gaggle of cyborg ai that go house to house and sing Christmas carols. One of which could be given a custom dialogue of a chorus (could appear the entire gaggle is singing)

. . . we wish you a merry christmas, we wish you a merry christmas, we wish you a merry christmas, and a happy new year . . .

Once the song is done, they could all throw stickies at the house.

oh and myth - I think the houses would need collision, but probably not need to be enter-able structures

I can fix the errors, if you want.

That would be a great idea. lol And make them "undrinkable"

BTW That is meant as unkillable but unkillable isn't a word.

:D

Made some new houses, tried out this method which [surprisingly] worked the first time to light up the houses, added beacons to the trees, added snow and yeah.

Any edits you want before I send the map?
Less fog?
More fog?
A better sky?
The current sky in place is just a solid colour, and you can't see it through the fog either. Not sure if you wanted that or not.

Sorry again for leaving it so late >.>

e. it looks kind of dark in the images, but it's brighter ingame.

Nice.

looks awesome

Don't use solid colours, it is not realistic as you never get solid red in real life unless of course there is no other light source at all which is never the case.

In other words the lighting looks all wrong. Looks okay though.

use the wrap around mountains sky (conscars?) then make it about 30 mins after dusk - 70% dark like gephy night sky.

- are those lights/beacons in the sky? santa's fly over?
- just for flair/spirit - add a christmas tree with small lights?
- the picks show low quality snow particles - (?) use large snowflakes, but not dense, light fog equal to gephy or bg
- if the map was daytime, would it look better?

Looks good n christmasy!

I know what you're getting at, but depends on what KID wants - we'll see.



The beacons are actually placed on trees, just that for some reason, xfire when uploading the screenshots, made them darker so that you can't actually see the trees. I'll get better ones soon.
Currently using the default snow from b40.
Haven't tried setting it to daytime yet, I'll get there.

Try to implement that spartan caroling idea. It's not too hard. You can do it without scripts if you want.

Sound tag: We wish you a merry christmas, and original wav file:

http://www.filefront.com/17690204/wewishumerryxmas.zip Its 34 seconds long - shouldnt have any problems with it in game. If you do, make permutations, or I can let me know.

Edit: 12/24/2010 10pm: Did the grinch steal the map? 'I'm gettin nuttin for christmas . . . .'
