DadMad Posted November 17, 2002 Posted November 17, 2002 Hi there... ive made a small trailer to my new map Bunker Wars http://asuka.clanintern.de/cuba/bw-t.zip Tell me what you think l8tr DadMad
TheMadDoofer Posted November 17, 2002 Posted November 17, 2002 Is this the trailer for the CTF map you posted about in General Editing? And do you need Divx to see it?
TheMadDoofer Posted November 17, 2002 Posted November 17, 2002 Just d/led it. Sweet video, sweet map.
zerowingzero Posted November 17, 2002 Posted November 17, 2002 Holy crap that's gonna be frigin sweet. All your work is great stuff! Snow in mp!
Srikin Talilles Posted November 17, 2002 Posted November 17, 2002 So frikin' tight!!! Keep up the good work!
jipe Posted November 17, 2002 Posted November 17, 2002 I really don't like the trailer at all. Half of it is just DadMad showing off his previous work (Canyon Oasis remake, woo!). The second half is filled with way too slow tracking shots intermingled with text messages saying the equivalent of "I AM THE GREATEST!" Get some more action in the video, and let it speak for itself; don't TELL us that it's great. We'll decide for ourselves.. Also, 15,000 brushes? And it's only a quarter done? The brush limit is 32,000, not to mention no one will be able to run it. The key to mapping is designing a good looking level that plays well WITHOUT sacrificing framerate. Anyone can toss a ridiculous amount of detail in the level, but no one does it because there's no point.
swediot=) Posted November 17, 2002 Posted November 17, 2002 are you some kind of a critic or something?
DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 Is there something wrong with being a critic?
Guardian Omega Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 OMG! I could've sworn that was FMV if I hadn't known that was JK! Dang, another reason for me to update my GF2........ BTW: How'd you get snow in MP?
swediot=) Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 Originally posted by DeTRiTiC-iQ Is there something wrong with being a critic? yeh theres something wrong with being a critic no one likes you cuz you gotta have something bad to say about absolutely everything
D3- Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 Originally posted by DadMad Tell me what you think He asked for opinions... You need bad opinions so you can improve your work.. jipe gave a perfectly valid and in certain areas, helpful reply. leave it at that
D3- Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 After watching the video, the map certainly looks excellent. Just remember that if it offers low fps it'll be a play once & ignore map.
Raven_Xwing Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 Nice map! Wow the graphics look really good too. I Can't wait to play it Dude!
DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 Originally posted by swediot=) yeh theres something wrong with being a critic no one likes you cuz you gotta have something bad to say about absolutely everything Well there is something bad to say about just about everything, the point is a critic will point out all the flaws, but only complain about the major ones. No map is perfect and its good if the mapper knows why.
Lathain Valtiel Posted November 19, 2002 Posted November 19, 2002 ...I have one question. JUST WHO WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY THIS?! The way it's looking now, NO ONE will be able to play it with more than four people. PERIOD. I mean, a quarter done? A QUARTER?! Man, quit while you're ahead, namely while it's actually playable by most JK2 players. On a lighter note.. Beautiful map.
nookie.xs Posted November 19, 2002 Posted November 19, 2002 w0w this map will rock ! keep up the great work !
Kstar__2 Posted November 19, 2002 Posted November 19, 2002 *drool comes out of his mouth* it's perfect! whats the music? i wish i could come up with such a texts man! 11/10 man! awesome!
DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted November 20, 2002 Posted November 20, 2002 Just remember. 32,000 brush limit. There IS a limit to how detailed maps can be made.
rolsen Posted November 20, 2002 Posted November 20, 2002 Extremely impressive. I'm especially looking forward to the snow in multiplayer. Hopefully others will be able to use the same technique you used, and we'll have more maps with whether effects. I love the music you put with the trailer. Could you list the names of the songs that you used and perhaps also the artists who made them? Keep up the good work. Thanks.
The Truthful Liar Posted November 20, 2002 Posted November 20, 2002 This is showcasing your work isn't it? Time for some moving.
Emon Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 Originally posted by DeTRiTiC-iQ Just remember. 32,000 brush limit. There IS a limit to how detailed maps can be made. That's true. And if you're only 27.5% done, you'll exceed that very quickly. There's also the 256 brush entity limit, e.g. func_doors, func_rotatating, etc. There's also the fact that since JO runs on OpenGL, an API that's very CPU dependant, it will slow down majorly when trying to do netcode calculations AND graphics. When a lot of people are playing, expect performance to be cut in half. The map does look great, you just have to think about that stuff a bit.
