flippo Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Please keep in mind I don't know **** about quake3 mapping, but, why don't you have an animated sky? With moving clouds and water if possible. It would look really kick ass. Anyway, this is probably the only map I come to the mapping forum to get updates on. I can't wait until it's out.

Kit Fisto Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Moving clouds and moving waves would be cool. The other skybox is cool because of the waves, but I agree with whoever said it above, they would look strange if they werent moving. The sky in that other skybox also looked to bright, I like Rich's better. If there was a way to have animated waves plus a darkened sky it would be the ultimate for creating a Kamino like atmosphere. Add the rain for single player and it would be complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichDiesal Posted June 11, 2002 Author Share Posted June 11, 2002 God, if only. I almost wish they had made this with the new Unreal Tournament engine so that I could have had an animated skybox and water... but alas, they didn't. And the SP version will be much better than the MP version... fully scripted and such... I'm going to be using the SP version to learn how to make cutscenes, so expect some fun. In any case, the map is completely ready for release... I am only waiting for Sergio to add member-voting to jedioutcastmaps.com... For those of you curious, there are people from massassi.net and jediknightii.net (no offense, guys) that have a hatred of jedioutcastmaps.com. Thus, a number of them have been going to jedioutcastmaps.com lately and voting straight 0s on all the maps listed on the front page. Yeah, stupid eh? In any case, Sergio (God bless him) is instituting a system on jomaps.com that will beat these bastards at their own game. As soon as he has that system implemented (Wednesday, was it?) this map will go live. So everyone harass Sergio!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manquesa Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 If you want, send it to me, i'll put it up for download through my website, i'll post a direct link to the file here. It'd of course be temporary and no ratings but at least it'll be available tommorow morning for people that come to this forum anyway. Although i'm not sure about my bandwidth. But I can wait till wednesday I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichDiesal Posted June 11, 2002 Author Share Posted June 11, 2002 In this engine? Good god, how? How would I make moving water? EDIT: And if it's so possible, why didn't Raven make any maps with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakeeyesa27 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 there is a texture (i believe under yavin) called waterfall that is a flowing water texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichDiesal Posted June 11, 2002 Author Share Posted June 11, 2002 Yes, but it's not a flowing skybox. I need a flowing skybox dammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Truthful Liar Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 oops, okay my PC crashed before I could respond. I'll explain it in a PM to you Rich, you can have Flowing type/moving skybox in Q3 and I'm nearly 100% certain that you can do it aswell in Jk2. Also, there weren't any situations (or nessessity frankly) where Raven could've used the opportunity to create this kind of sky in their maps.

The Truthful Liar Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Oh and Rich, I hope you're uber-savvy with shaders. (This is going to be quite complicated, at least it was for me) [Edit: I'm going to first test out my new skybox, if all goes well - then... yeah...] :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippo Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Sweet. I knew you could do an animated sky (as seen in Quake 3: Arena), but I wasn't sure about the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defalc Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Rich, this is looking better. Did you say Jango's escape? Booya! It a good quality version? Hm...I'm really bad at understanding mapping stuff...how come rain works in SP but not MP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagami Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 The water effects in jk2 don't really suck, go look at one of ente's maps, PADtemple. The water looks great and i believe you should implement the water beneath the platform.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only animated part of a skybox I know of is the cloudlayer, and that wouldn't work so well for this... I'm hoping you'll prove me wrong, though.

DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Personally I don't like jedioutcastmaps because they don't wait for a map to be submitted to them before they add it. Someone from massassi got a level posted there, which said it was a Massassi exclusive in the readme. It got posted at jedioutcastmaps, with the readme intact, displayed obviously on the map page. However, i've never voted with any rating on any map ever unfairly. Now unless you have names of specific massassi/jediknightii.net users, Its a bit harsh saying that its us who are voting 0.

The Truthful Liar Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 You guys (massassi) are obviously uptight about us Jk2.net'ers and what we say about you, because why would you bother respond only once (and not mentioning how nice this map is) to a post that was in a thread based on a MAP? Seems like you're looking for an argument I've also noted quite a number of posts (and threads) directed towards jk2.net in the massassi forums yet I don't go probing for reasons to boost my post count ++.
