The device one is confusing. So what can I set up as a trigger for an ai place, door open, and music setup from a switch press... ex. Switch1, bsp2door3, blah/blah/epicmusic, ai_place cov13?

Awesome. Thanks, the first level is 90% done. I have to figure out a fix for the cutscene skip, and change the voice levels because the music is too loud compared to it... yea i realized that when I was changing my music volume to 10 from 6 lul

This map looks really cool! It reminds me of some of the old-school sp-maps.



IIRC, you can also use tool to run radiosity (tool lightmaps <scenario> <bsp index> <quality> <stop threshhold>). Tool should be faster, I think.

Edit1: stop threshhold should be in range 0...1

So pretty much: tool lightmaps levels/projectx/intro/x10_andrania 0 1? Or is it 1 1? i do radiosity at 1 when I'm ready with the map

so are you going to release maps when they are done? or when everything is done?

the complete command (for testing) is tool lightmaps levels/projectx/intro/x10_andrania 0 1 0.9

you could even lower the quality to speed it up

well i have a few issues, i need something that can be solid green and blue bitmaps and work... and then theres a collision error when running structure for the next level. theres no wrl so im not sure what to do. gonna slow me down until i can fix it and that bitmap issue, i need to get rid of the white blank, and transparent bitmaps that are supposed to be solid blue, lightblue and green


also i did lightmaps 1 .0000001

I'm pretty excited for this.
Some fun BSP stuff I'm seeing here

Thanks, I always had a knack for making good ambience. Gonna be a long campaign, but tricky to set up the structure to match the story length. Gonna have to sketch some stuff out.

I'd tone down some of the blue lights, the forerunner stuff is more often a cyan, than it is a deep blue. Looks cool otherwise though.

i know, i was planning on toning it down at the end of this level once they leave the planet

Will there be a demo? This stuff looks really good and you have given us updates, but it feels like you are keeping stuff as a mystery too. Haven't heard much on story

Demo pending, I want the story to stay a mystery and be intense, it's a long one, there's too many short ones. I've noticed photobucket has been acting up so im moving all my photos to imgur.

in a way it works

yes it does, heres a youtube video for an update, im trying to hide alot still https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAkhWhQQEHI&feature=youtu.be

moved names around for levels, and i finished the first bsp game setup for the second level. working on the next one.

This looks really good, work faster!

i'm working as fast as i can, i have some pelican seat things that i need to find out for a script to end the level due to player enter, as well as another to drop off a full bus of marines... no clue how... also i have made teleporters a thing. should be interesting and im borrowing a non-halo warp sound

Teleporters?

i know its been almost a week but my update is the second level is near completion. no pictures because theres a few things i realllllly dont want to spoil. not sure if cookiez will or not, but can someone bump this for me

The bump got deleted?

Bump, also, what bump? Don't you think that self bump rule would be gone by now?

It's not just a rule, the site just prevents you from doing that

My bump got deleted
:'(
</3

Your bump will be remembered...

2nd level 100%. Onwards!

yizz

delay for a few days from spv3, but i already hate it after one playthrough... soooo.... someone bump me, and a cutscene is almost set and then ill work on the next level, btw i made a discord for progress. https://discord.gg/VuJvQkA

Bumpitybump

update?

if i could curse on here i would enjoy my little offensive joys, but instead, i am working my rear posterior off on getting schoolwork done early so i have more time to work on OP, in the meantime i am sketching ideas for levels 3, 4 and 5, i have almost complete ideas for 3 and 4 and some stuff for 5. stuff i do in class lol. once i finish animations for the big cutscene after the second level, im going straight into the 3rd level. don't worry, i will NOT be dropping something i already put 3 months of work into. btw the storyline i planned itself is nearly complete, just needs some finishing touches then i formulate the story into fitting levels.... so... bump?

Bump

Lots of love for my bumpers. Update, lightmaps for the 6 bsp for my 3rd level are halfway done (weeks of time) and I'm moving on to drop the project... kidding, that will never happen. I'm moving on to start setting up the script and placements in sapiens. Gonna be a long level somewhat if I can fit everything. We will see what is in store for me and how long my laptop can stay on without dying from the lightmaps
