well hell Ill get in on some wierd pic posting action. Because Im bored.

handy ...

http://www.edge-zero.com/files/void744.pk3 If anybody is interested to see what it looks like now Ive added caulk to alot of areas including the arch end caps, so now the map should be devoid of sparklies, and it is except for one area, which is not in general view anyway. Ill remember to do this f...

cheers

Ah well .. Ive been caulking up some stuff and doing some test compiles, and decided to use q3map2, and it gives MAX_TW_VERTS exeeded, and I know what that is, and I have a guide to fixing it, but why doesnt q3map give that error during lighting ? Surely they cant be that different ? I think I may b...

Wow, thanks for the tips. I did actually use caulk on some curves, but completely neglected the arch endcaps, thanks! Thats a sign of lazyness >.< Also, thanks for the info about models, that should decrease the pak size. I remember knowing that at some point ... lol Im gonna recompile it at some po...

I may be lynched ... but how else can one make his own map popular ?

'doh. Cant be done either way. 'you can't parent one entity to another q3' seremtan. :icon23: I think what Ill do to compromise is just have a func_train platform roaming around and place these fans underneath it at key jump points.. not a vast improvement on a very old idea unfortunately. :icon27: ...

Ah ha. thats pretty much what I want, sorry I should have explained it better. I want the pad to stay in one place, but when triggered (randomly or by a shoot trigger, mapwide) the pad moves out of the way and reveals a large spinning sucking fan with 'blades of doom'. :) So I guess a func_door is t...

Id actually like the jumppad to function, so it can actually be used when the player gets the timing right ... I dont think its possible to create a func_train with a trigger in it though. Looking bleak, is there any other way it can be done ?

I could try using a teleporter instead ...

Probably quite a popular noob question ? Is it possible to have a func_train containing a jump-pad (trigger push pointing at a target) ? Reason I ask is becuase I want to be able to remove a jump pad from an area where a player will expect it ... and then be suprised as they encounter a nasty fan dr...

lol ... lint

http://www.edge-zero.com/images/shot102.jpg Thanks for pointing those out, and how to fix them, its wierd how it only really affected the arch cap patches .. I could recompile, as Ive noticed a couple of lights that have surface lights and omni lights on >.< so it makes them brighter than the rest....

Cool, thanks!

... whats a sparklie ? ...

Im british. :icon26:

Thanks for the feedback. Id love to know how you think it plays. (with peeps) I tried to split up the feel slightly by only curving some surfaces, alot of the supporting structures are arched. I guess it doesnt really look very consistant :) submitted for review on lvl, but reading elsewhere 'quake ...

Ever since 99 Ive been fumbling around with mapping in q3, and I still think I remain a permenant noob to this day

My latest level attempt -
