Jesse Joined: Jan 18, 2009 Discord: Holy Crust#4500	Posted: Sep 5, 2016 03:20 AM Msg. 281 of 367 I'm working on the campus's parking structure. I plan to use a groundmap for the flooring so it can look variable. The support pillars will likely be scenery (with invisiblefloating BSP 'filler' boxes to serve as collision\explosive prevention.) Here is what the map looks like so far: green = level boundary and there is still more that I will add. Specifically, underground passages and a subway. I was originally going to add a train aboveground, but I might hit some kind of rendering limit that portals can't fix, so I figured it's safer to put that underground. Sightlines will be blocked by LOD-style buildings past the level-limit. I am excreting bricks at the thought of the poly count, but 3ds tells me I'm at 31731. I know the some textures seem repetitive, particularly the roofs, sidewalks, and river aqueduct, but that's only because I haven't truly finalized the design and placement of a lot of buildings. That is to say, I have the textures to add variety but I'll do that once I have a decent understanding of where I am with the poly limit and how much I can spare. Buildings themselves will get AC units and such on the walls, and I'll be placing trashbins, lightpoles, powerpoles, (ect) all around the streets. Edited by Jesse on Sep 5, 2016 at 03:49 AM

Have you done any objective planning and pathing yet? It would be cool to see those mapped out Kirby and I have a list of stuff we want to achieve with this map: Quote: --- Original message by: Kirby & Jesse Goals The basic premise of the Red Light District project is that it will be a mix of Survivor Mode, Nazi Zombies, Halo’s Firefight, and something similar to Fallout’s post apocalyptic world where you encounter survivors and work with them, or not. The map will be far more extensive than anything that has ever been created in CE. How to Win To be determined What happens on Player Death On death, player is kicked from the server. Normal Difficulty: They can rejoin after one day of ingame time has passed, as a new character. Hard Difficulty: They cannot rejoin until the game has been won. The map will reset after 1 day of no players being in the server (Configurable time limit). Sewer Area There will be an accessible rain run-off. You can enter the small tunnels through the street drains (through the manholes) and end up at the river. Subway There will be an accessible subway train, entrances and exits to be determined. Destinations also to be determined. Relationships SEE ROMANCE DOCUMENT Features (to be further categorized and added to) -Day\night cycle -Many interiors to explore -events and activities to participate in -swimming and underwater combat (see Sewer Area for details) -Varying AI behavior dependant on many variables -Infected survivors become mini-bosses -points system? Perhaps a seller like in the Resident Evil game where you can purchase\trade stuff- points can be acquired by trading found items, withdrawing from ATMs, ect. -Players can ‘date’ NPCs (see Romance document) Time of Day during light hours, they only respond to sound, and only have a 25% chance of noticing it. At night, they have a 100% chance of both visual and audio. Evening, 50% visual, 25 audio, and morning 25 visual, 50 audio.

And you could try to do like mootjuh suggested, using a blended shader to give more variations to the texture, like the ground maps. This way you could use one detail map for parts that are more worn off or were shot and use the rest somewhere else, + details for color etc on the main map.

Rip bigass bases to know more (Hey, flagging my stuffz again !) https://www.filterforge.com/filters/category47-page1.html Edited by bourrin33 on Sep 7, 2016 at 04:57 PM I checked it out and the site seems to have a lot of cool stuff. I'll be sure to use it for the more misc textures that I need. The main benefit of ripping textures from GTA V is that they're generally designed to work with each other, particularly the sidewalk and street bitmaps which flow into each other well. I'll be sure to use proper shader blending once the time comes. I haven't done it yet because the buildings are still moved from time to time, so i'll finalize any textures and groundmaps toward the end once the BSP is nearly finished, otherwise I'd be making changes to the textures every time I changed the model. If anyone is curious, the doorways are standardized to 44 units wide, 88 units high, and 4 units thick. Double-doorways are the same, but 88 units wide. The buildings are on increments of 50 units (so they go from 100, 150, 200,, ect) This is done so I can repeatedly use the same scenery object instead of making a variant for each building.

Needs an SKS, though. As long as Kirby isn't kill, it should happen. If he were to disappear though, I'd have no choice but to either turn this into a firefight map, or a large MP map (how it will balance is anyone's guess). Also, if anyone is curious, I've been working on this for over two years now. I stopped for a long while here and there, but I've been fairly consistent lately. Once I finish the BSP and such, Kirby can take over (he can't do too much beforehand since too much will change and he'd have to move spawns, firing positions, ect.) Also, can someone/anyone/everyone post what they know are limits in the game? How many scenery objects can be used? How many AI? Do the device machine objects count toward the scenery object total? How wide/long/high can the BSP be before rendering issues occur? (3dsmax units) How much texture data? How many triangles for scenery? And yes, we'll at least be using OS, and likely more programs.

I might be wrong though, but through scripting I was unable to spawn more objects than that. This includes any type of object, it doesn't matter if it's scenery, biped or projectile.

I wonder if that includes your character, and the equipped weapon(s). That number should be good enough anyway. I'm going to do some testing soon to check any rendering limits for scenery. I'll probably create some 10k poly cubes and place them all around the map in a sequential pattern and see how many cubes can be spawned before glitches occur. That said, I tried the GTA V car model I ripped (and you tagged) and that's about 12k polies, and I was able to spawn about 20 of them as vehicles with no problems at all.
