Shadriss Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Maybe we should hire a coder to make a func_magic - just for Aru-Wen to use. It would maker those stairs more the way he wants them too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted March 15, 2003 Author Share Posted March 15, 2003 Wudan said way back when that he had some code that would alter func_rotate so that it wouldn't have to make a complete revolution - this opens up the possibility for swinging doors, my moving staircases, etc. The only drawback is that it would have to be run as a mod. Perhaps he's figured out some other way to do it since then, but as I don't want people to have to mod their game just to play my map, I won't be implementing it.

Psynex Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 You could always have a Mod compatible version of it. Don't most people that still play JK2 play mods anyway? Oh, yea, BTW, I'm back from break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted March 17, 2003 Author Share Posted March 17, 2003 A modded version of the map is planned, Psynex. It's just that the regular version will be done first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomMonkey Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 If you need more texture editing done Ill be glad to help, Also I have a sibling with the HArry potter game (poor fool) And could probably get some more textures from that and fix them up.... ...if you need...

Eldritch Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 Work continues... the Slytherin Common room is 85% mapped. Just got to do the dormitories themselves, put in the small details and finalize the lighting/textures. 3 shots: This is the main room, where Harry and Ron used the polyjuice potion to change into Crabbe and Goyle in an attempt to get information out of Draco Malfoy. It was seen in the movie, but the couches have not yet been added. Same room, different angle. The entrance to the main room, coming from the Dungeons.

Eldritch Posted March 22, 2003 Author Share Posted March 22, 2003 Last night my comp went haywire due to a virus. I managed to save all the more recent files (most recent backup was halfway thru the Dungeon section) pertaining to Hogwarts. I almost lost all that work on the Slytherin rooms. *whew* Needless to say, I will be investing in a more up-to-date virus/firewall program.

wedge2211 Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Yay for saving good work! It looks very impressive... Two comments: you might want to make it a little more clear where the green light comes from, and perhaps make the rug a little thinner. It looks good overall, though, I especially liek the effect of logs in the fireplace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldritch Posted March 23, 2003 Author Share Posted March 23, 2003 Wedge - The rug was just thrown in at the last second. I'll fix it... believe me when I say it's not finalized. As for the green light, i'm just testing out different lighting schemes, as I'm still not sure what i'm going with. Frendon - Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psynex Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 W3rd Up!? Aru, want to finish up that ceiling tomorrow? I'll be online between 12:30ish and 5:00pm EST. I'll make sure I have the files with me that I was working on on my own PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 Sounds good to me. I should be online around 2pm EST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadwick359 Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 Ok, im really impressed, i dont even like harry potter, and i know i am gonna dnload this map as soon as it comes out yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psynex Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Aru, even after updating my computer and retesting the ceiling, I'm convinced map surfaces can't do any type of alpha blending. So what needs to happen is a model will need to be created and put below the ceiling to act as the second surface. I don't know how to implement models for use in maps, but anyone that does should be able to whip it out in a matter of seconds because it's just a single plane (2 triangles making a square).

Psynex Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Jorus, you should learn to use the edit button at the bottom of your messages. Hit edit, put a check in the delete box and then hit the delete button. The last two aren't really necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he's figured out some other way to do it since then, but as I don't want people to have to mod their game just to play my map, I won't be implementing it. Not just any mod at this point, I'm coding AOTCTC/ProMod. I've just finished up rough implementation of Saga (and YES you can see objective status now!) Rotating doors and other things mappers would appreciate are being put in because I remember when I was a mapper (long ago, and mostly forgotten by any who still live), and rotating doors are a huge beef. Ladders are another (and they are in there also ) I'm hoping to have a release of ProMod (probably not AOTCTC ProMod yet, but just some fixes, changes, and Saga) 4.whatever finished by June, which is a good, far away estimate that should be kind enough to give me time to polish it all up.

Psynex Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 so what's new Eldritch? Did you get a new ICQ # too? I haven't seen you online at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted April 18, 2003 Author Share Posted April 18, 2003 No, but I left you a message on your ICQ. I'm not often on ICQ anymore due to security issues. I'm often on MSN though, if you've got that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadriss Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 You could have fooled ME, El. No, really. He's there a good part of the day... he may not SAY much, but... Oh, and wait till you guys see the couch he's working... real work of art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted April 18, 2003 Author Share Posted April 18, 2003 The Slytherin Common room is now in the detailing phase, which means creating some nice pieces of furniture to go in it. I haven't decided which section of the castle i'll be moving to next, but I'll most likely be working from the ground up from now on. Anyway, here's that couch Shad mentioned. Nothing says evil like black leather, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
