Oiltanks for RMA

[ghosta]

I tried to make my first map:

Its polycount with 200 is a bit high I guess, but it would be nice if anyone could take a look at it and tell me, if something else is wrong.

there should maybe be a railing around the upper floor - otherwise the actors can walk on the tanks (might confuse pathfinding)

except that i see no other problems

* Mattn is waiting for an industrial rma

You might want to use the new actorclip and stepon textures.

Did you test this map?

[ghosta]

I compiled it, and startet it with the game, but I still have to test it with players.

Is there a way to fix the textures? Everytime I move the map (especially the signs), the textures start shifting around too and I have to find the right position again...

Where can I find the new actorclip and stepon textures?

[Kildor]

tex\tex_common\actorclip.tga, nodraw.tga, weaponclip.tga, stepon.tga

Now with railing http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=DDCXUVC1

[Mattn]

activate the texture lock to move brushes around without changing the texture alignment.

please attach it to the forum thread - i hate waiting for downloads

[ghosta]

Here u get another map and the oiltank again.

I compiled and started it successfull.

By the way, are you planning on making a tileset that uses these tiles?

[Mattn]

if you put the barrels exactly on the border of a tile, you have to be sure, that you use a correct sunlight angle for your tiles - otherwise it might be possible, that no shadow is casted (casted into the void)

[BTAxis]

Or he could rotate the tile so it is fine with the default sunlight - which direction is the default sunlight anyway? +x -y, I think?

[blondandy]

slightly off thread, but check the light across edges of tiles in day and night versions.

i noticed (not on these), but in svn many night maps have light coming out of doors and terminating at the edge of the tile.

Maybe. At the moment I try doing it, but I wont promise anything...

Uhm, if you get problems with the shadows of barrels, what will happen to the pipe? This would only allow one direction for my pipes... Otherwise there would be parts without shadows...

And the next Problem: I can compile the maps and start them, but if I try to start one with a "info_player_start" to test my stairs the game crashes... I use the Version 2.2.1 for Windows.

[Mattn]

add at least 8 starting positions

btw. the license you are releasing your under is gpl 2.0 or later i suppose? if you are using
