If you have any recommendations for music that I should use for future videos, please let me know. I practically like all forms of music.

i woulda suggested just leaving the game audio

so people can listen to what they want during it

Anything that isn't rap, hip-hop, reguetton, crunk or in that zone.

Some metal, rock, techno, punk, jazz, classical, blues, opera would be good.

The map still looks good btw.

I was going to redo the windows. Lighting was temp, I'll try to use Aether.

at least play https://soundcloud.com/cryono7/behind-the-curtain-of-halo-2 during it

yes i made that

What is taking so long?.......Portals, that's why...

Dude, just suffer with +exactportals.

+portals are so freaking annoying to get right, I think stunt_man has some experience with them. But they are literally more annoying than j-walkers.

Shamelessly plugging.

It's annoying when your exact portals say that an area is not 'defined' when you closed off a room with exact portals. I only get the area when blocking out the bases/central areas with a lot of entrances/windows. I'll see how it all renders in sapien. It does say that it divided the level into clusters. If it occludes like it should, then I'll stick with it.

For your exactportals:

• Make sure that the planes defining a closed area all have their normals facing either inwards or outwards, and not a mix of both.


• Also, recall that exactportal planes, unlike regular portals, need to seamlessly seal off an area (i.e.: if you are placing an exactportal in the doorway, select your BSP object, convert to editable mesh, create a poly using the vertices at the 4 corners of your doorway, select that poly > detach, rename and apply exactportal material).


• Start with one area, then work your way out, keeping track of which way the normals are facing (I found this to be easier when NOT working your way out from the middle of the map, but rather from one side to the other).


• Regular old portals should be used to further subdivide clusters defined by exactportals (i.e.: high-poly rooms).

PM me if you need help, or add me on Xfire: killdill101 (though I'm not online as often as I'd like to be...).

Thanks a lot for the tips. I never really portal'd before. I was importing stock bsps to see how they did their portals. I'll be sure to see if my portal planes are faced the right direction.

Try not to put copyrighted music in your videos as YouTube tends to not like it and takes down those channels/gives strikes whether you gave credit to the owner or not.

If your talking about my channel.

My F'ing gf wouldn't stop playing music in the background. And I had set fraps to use my pc's microphone thing.

Technically, it wasn't even embedded into the video, it was just sound playing in the background.

Anyway, how is portalling going? BTW most maps below -9000 tris don't really require it.

Really? The worst that's happened to me was they put an ad at the beginning.

I'm going to let everyone have access to the beta for the time being. I feel bad leaving most of you out.

I don't think they do that unless you are participating in the youtube partners program. Either way, it doesnt always remove the video, in most cases it just limits the syndication.

Well you're lucky. You have to be REAALL careful with what you put in your videos. Unlike anyone ever I actually read threw the copyright part of the TOS. Anyway, I see channels get taken down all the time for the use of copyrighted material in their videos. YouTube said themselves that giving credit to the original owner does not give you permission to use it. You have to have written permission (pfft good luck with that though lol.)



Either way it's still against the TOS and spam404 kinda have been also clearing things up ie taking down channels.


Anyway, I was just saying it as kinda a warning to be careful as YouTube will take action if you abuse their TOS on multiple levels. I don't like seeing channels get taken down for putting music they like in their videos.

Ok. Lets layoff the copyright laws for the time being. This thread is about Gridiron, not music. If they happen to take down the gameplay videos, I'll re-upload them without music. It's no big deal.

Any luck with the portals?

Redoing the skybox. I'm gonna make it similar to what Higuy suggested. It would be cool anyways, there are not a lot of lava themed maps.

Lava? ooooooooohhhhhh

Yay!

make sure asuka has her lava suit on then

If you need help with lava fx, such as rising steam or even moving lava I could look in to it.

The steam wouldn't take longer than a day, not sure about the lava.

To some extend I want to know the horror that you have blessed our sights with and how it came to be.

Evangelion has touched many people.

Also this map is pretty sweet. I like the sleek but classic feel.

THE HORROR.

H1 tags are boring.

Don't worry, Johnlex will take care of that.

Praise johnlex jajajaja.

Can't tell if trolling

What troll?

Go back to H4 ragnarok.
