sorry I have no idea who the judges are or how the maps are being judged. I was simple stating my thoughts after having played some of the maps. |

Secretly obsidian is taking part, having worked on and hoarded an über-map, 10 years in the making.

Fjoggs, is secretly using GTKradiant in some way... I am sure of it...  Doing all this in Reflex's editor mode is just too... painful... well it certainly is a skill.

It looks great Fjoggs but I wouldn't be surprised if all the time you put in now is wasted because the tech is going to change. |

Not excactly sure what you mean by wasted, as the map won't suddenly stop working. If by wasted you mean I'm putting in more effort than needed if I had multiselect, rotate etc, then sure.

I'm afraid cityy means that it's not impossible for the file format of maps to change sometime in the future making your map unreadable for the game. |

I highly doubt it, seeing how most of the work on the engine is already done and the game has been released to the public via early access. Besides, people made a q3 map to reflex converter. Creating a tool that converts old reflex files to the "new" one shouldn't be too hard. |

Eraser wrote: I'm afraid cityy means that it's not impossible for the file format of maps to change sometime in the future making your map unreadable for the game. No, that's not what I mean. I was more aiming towards what fjoggs said. They haven't thought about how to make it possible to add the level of detail they are aiming for using their editor (yet). I could totally imagine them using their editor only for the hull and then polishing the level in a 3d modeling app. However, I hope they can come up with some nice way to make detailing maps a part of this but I reckon it will be pretty damn hard. |

It kind of takes away all the fun of having a real-time editor if you have to exit out and make the bulk of your map in a modelling program. If that's the case, they might as well toss out their editor and just team up with GtkRadiant. |

The editor's goal is to be the only tool you need. Of course you could probably include custom models down the road, but most maps will be built and completed in the in-game editor. I've been nagging the programmer for some editor love, so hopefully it'll come soon.

I think on instinct the brush-based-ness of the Reflex editor was what drew me to it... more of the good old days, but with a much more modern engine, that even without optimization can pretty much render larger maps, with a lot (not tons of) brushwork. I very much hope does not end up like the past UT editors, that create hulls, and the rest is meshes. Castle showed what CODradiant can do, they had (was it called instancing?)... well you could basically build a house that would be one map, then place it in your larger gameworld map. But from the main map you could at any time start editing the house again, and it was built up of brushes. One level up the house pretty much was placed like a model with all the texture alignment not getting off when rotating the house. And so it was with all the deco in the map world... I think the term was prototyping... you build something with radiant once, and then it can be sprinkled all over the place, and you centrally need to only change the main instance in the editor to have it change everywhere else. So technically something like meshes, but you build things in radiant instead. Something like that would be neat... a way to build things in-editor, but have those things engine efficient enough to allow plastering everything with it. So little to no need of using a modelling tool. In Q3A so much brushwork would kill the FPS... so that would be my hope for Reflex... though I see it not as that likely to happen. If I read that correctly, only a few folks in Australia are working on Reflex (was it only 3?)... so you cannot expect miracles like from the huge other devs teams. As that may be... the fun I have had for 10€ so far, was well worth it... |

3 people working part time after work. Their programmer is working full-time on it from today I believe. |

AEon wrote: Castle showed what CODradiant can do, they had (was it called instancing?)... Its called hierarchical instancing and I feel that its something every level designer and engine/tools programer should take some time to understand in great detail. Its application is a paradigm shift for level design flow when it is utilized to its full potential. If Reflex were to have proper hierarchical instancing it would mold the development tools in incredible ways. |

Ok so here is a video on the topic of Reflex and why I think its a big deal. The video is bit long but it covers everything I have been wanting to say about it. http://youtu.be/QKUvz3HRshU?list=PLZmVk ... D9xSFD1Y8q It covers, heiarchical instancing, play in editor and multiplayer as well as my thoughts on having a single 3D interface. |

Interestingly, I almost never built stairs in Q3A... but in Reflex you can double-jump off them (CPMA apparently too)... so now I am actually looking into adding such jump elements. |

But there are a few rooms at the end of the level that i just seem to always draw a blank on when trying to detail. I build a bunch of stuff, then just hate it and delete it all... so frustrating!!
