Yugioh79 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 I really don't think i can make one i have no idea how to make a shader. i tryed to read the tutorial but it did not help at all and i can't find one that will help. Did you get the Hp game yet? Could you help me look for one that would help? Do you think that the pics in the Skybox.utx of the hp game would work?

I'll figure it out... i've been meaning to anyway, so now i'll have to. I got the game working, by the way. And no, the pics in skybox.utx aren't quite what i'm looking for, so i'll have to go with something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldritch Posted October 26, 2002 Author Share Posted October 26, 2002 3 new pics up on the site... 1st one is more of a detailed window... the black texture is a WIP in itself (the black eventually will look like opaque frosted glass) 2nd one is rough start of one of the 2 fireplaces in the Great Hall 3rd one is of the whole hall, and you can see the start of the big window at the end of it (also have a couple candles floating around just to see how it looks) Crits, please. http://www.hogwarts.tk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth CR Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 Hey are u going to put any special features in the map that other big maps have ( like a detention facility, a lounge, a bar, ect.)? By the way, even though I don't know a thing about Harry Potter, it looks like it'll be an awesome map! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted October 26, 2002 Author Share Posted October 26, 2002 Hey are u going to put any special features in the map that other big maps have ( like a detention facility, a lounge, a bar, ect.)? Hogwarts is basically a huge castle which contains (among other things) a Great Hall (which is what most of the pictures are of so far) whose ceiling looks like the night sky (which isn't done yet, obviously); moving staircases, multiple classrooms (as it is a school), a large kitchen, dungeons (which I suppose could be used as a detention facility), and dormitories and their common rooms (aka lounges). Other stuff will be in there i'm sure - just haven't gotten to it yet. I'm also considering adding Saga objectives to this map, although i'm not sure what those objectives will be yet (ideas, anyone?) or how to implement Saga, so i'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Eldritch Posted October 27, 2002 Author Share Posted October 27, 2002 I appreciate your enthusiasm, but wait until i've completed a little more of the level first, lol. I'm not even at 5% yet. But I will remember the name Ownage. Maybe I'll make a sequel to this map and call it Hogwarts II: The Ownage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldritch Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 Small update tonight... mostly texture changes, and in the second shot I added what will eventually be the night sky effect seen on the ceiling... it's not transparent yet - it's just there to give me an idea of what it will look like. http://www.hogwarts-wip.tk Crits are needed, as always.

Are you sure it's supposed to be the NIGHT sky? In the book, Hermione says, "It's bewitched to look like the sky outside. I read about it in Hogwarts, A History." The windows make it clear that, at the moment, it's a daylight level. If so, it should probably be the daytime sky in the ceiling. Other than that, this level is looking great! I am really looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sky outside is a skybox from Outcast, and will not be used in the final version. It's just there to have something to look at. The stage will take place at night, though. And to my recollection, the ceiling only displays the effect at night - meaning that at night it shows the sky outside. Also, it remains to be seen whether or not the windows in the hall will be clear or opaque. WhiteShdw is working on two different window textures for me, and when I get them back i'll see which one looks better (though I'm leaning towards opaque because that's whats seen in the movie).

Altus_Thrawn Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 I can't tell if it is here from your screenies, but I believe there is a door and a small room behind the teacher's table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yugioh79 Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 sorry for not posting, i was gone all weekend. But anakin do you have the harry potter game yet? Nice ceiling but is is going to cover the whole ceiling at the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not there yet, but there is actually two doors on that end of the hall. There's a lot of stuff on the walls that's not there yet, and none of the doors are in yet. A number of details aren't in yet, but i'm working on it. And to Yugioh - I haven't decided if it will cover the whole ceiling yet; i'm waiting to see how it will look when it's semi-transparent. It will most likely end up covering it all though. And yes, I have the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadriss Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Heyas Anakin. Thought I'd drop by and see what you were up to. From what I've seen and read, ,it looks like things are on track here, but I do have two concerns. I dont think you'r night sky, as you want to do it, is going to work in the great hall. The semi-transparent effect can only be achieved, so far as I know, with a fog shader. I havent seen it tried, but I dont know if you can do an actual picture-type texture on a fog style brush and still have it look right. Just a thought. The second relates to the textures you're taking from the HP game... not to sound pedantic or anything, but I dont think that's allowed. Now, if you were to make your own textures BASED on them, that would be something else, but taking the textures direct, changing them slightly to be usable in the engine, and plugging them in is, I'm pretty sure, a copyright issue. Maybe I'm wrong (It's happened before! ) but you MAY want to make sure of that before you go too much farther. Other than that, looking good. We shall be watching this thread with MUCH interest...

Thanks for the input, Shadriss. I'm going to ask WhiteShdw about the night sky thing - I know nothing about shaders, and thus my idea is just me stating something that seems rational, but I really don't know. As for the textures from the HP game, of course it's not allowed. So aside from strictly altering them so they can be used in the game, i've made a number of changes to the textures i've used. Besides, only 2 or 3 of the textures used in the Great Hall are from the HP game - the rest are taken from free texture sites or created by me. So if I were to get any kind of official message about the copyright thing, i'll just swap out the HP game textures for the ones I was using before.

Wudan Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Ok, now it's my turn to quiz the mast'a mapp'a : Do you have rotating doors, or are you going to have this be a standard JK2 Map? Or are you going to leave the doors propped open a la SOF2? And ... I think you can do the ceiling justice using a fog that uses the skybox as its 'fog' - i know you can do an entire maps fog with the skyshader as fog, but I don't know bout just a block o ' fog.

As of this moment, I have no doors right now. I'm currently testing a few different ideas to have doors that swing open and close (like real doors)... not going to let the cat out of the bag on it yet, but i'll let you know if it works. If it doesn't though, I won't have the standard JK2 sliding doors - they'll be open a la SOF2. The fog is a good idea - I still have yet to ask WhiteShdw about the night sky shader thing... I will soon though. And Shadriss, thanks for your concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
