Emon Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Originally posted by RichDiesal That would be a Jedi system 4 months ago. And that's what I mean... design the terrain, then design the mountain into the terrain, blending the two manually. 1. Jedi means I use it for JO... 2. No no, you're missing my point entirly. Say you have a CTF map with lots of mountanous (sp?) terrain made in GenSurf. Okay now lets say you want the red team's base to have the basic shape of a rectangular building (obviously with some more details too), and you want it to be EMBEDDED in the mountain side. I've never tried it, but wouldn't it be a lot easier to just use CSG subtract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichDiesal Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 It would be easier, yes, but it would also fragment your mountain into thousands of (probably uncaulked) pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd, because I just tried that with GTKRad and GenSurf. I came up with NO excess brushes (smallest amount possible), and they were caulked, too.

angelDP Posted June 30, 2002 Author Share Posted June 30, 2002 Ah yes, using GTKradient, now that will help win Rich over to your side:rolleyes: :rolleyes: I'm posting from my dad's 1.5 mhz pentium 1/16th with 28.8K modem power, so no JK2 or mapping until I get home tomorrow Cry for me...

Klorel Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Some people do the same maps/models as WIPs to make better ones cause they think they can and that it would be a good addition for the community. others do it to beat someone else to feel better about other "short-comings". It sounds to me like he "stole" your idea. Not like the people who make the naboo reactor, they want to improve the level. this guy literally saw (and had) what you had, knew with his experience he would do it more accurately, and then rubbed it in your face. None of us can fix your problem, but dont let it discourage you; he was once as new as you are. think, maybe you could be a really amazing mapper and provide all kinds of great adventures for the community, finish the matrix map, then move on to bigger and better things. experience takes time, so just keep at it. p.s. you were right to get worked up about it, i would have been mad as hell.

Galactic Magi Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 okay......um.......well im sorry about that but all you just said was a story about something that happened to you with someone and you just threw little things about mapping in there......if your gonna make a topic in the mapping and levels make it about the maps in threads or your map not along with one story. Heres how you could have made this message the easy way: Hey my map was pretty good but someone said it was bad so im posting a comparison, tell me what you think. Im sorry about what happened to you but frankly its really none of my concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichDiesal Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 The thing to keep in mind is that this is not just an editing support forum. If you want just editing support and nothing else, go to Massassi and get the hell out of here. This is a community, meant as both an editing support forum and as a congregation of mappers who want to share their (map related) problems and see how the community reacts. He sent his WIP map to an NwO member. He was then doublecrossed, his map stolen, and ran away with. Thus he has a complaint that the mapping community can help him deal with. There was nothing wrong with him posting his story here. End of discussion!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelDP Posted July 1, 2002 Author Share Posted July 1, 2002 I can see how he read it the wrong way, I blame the fact that you can't show emotions on the internet except with smileys. For example, A friend IM'd me and said: Hi there! I responded: Why hello In my mind, I was saying 'Why hello!' using why to emphasize my greeting. HE however, at first, thought I was asking "Why hello???" as if I was mad or somthing. It makes life difficult, so everyone has to cut people some slack. :- ) Thanks for the suport though, Rich (and everyone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Marrakesh Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 That deadlock dude sounds like one SOB f***er your map is great, keep it up. Good point rich.
