[Map] My Snowy Coag, Finally!

Well, i had to wait a long time... but i did it... my life long dream of making a real snowy coag.
Josh, i made this one from scratch just so you know.

UPDATED: I did some more work on the mod. I fixed the weapon/vehicle spawns and did a little more skinning. I'm not quite sure I like the new look yet. But anyways, most thing have been added to the map. There are still some problems though.. No backgroung sound, tried to fix it... but im still in the learning process. The gravlift doesnt work, but it's visible, the overshield/camo will freeze the map if you pick it up, the teleporters are not visible but they work.. *And the sky is still to high up. ( *dont know if that is fixable ). Here is the latest patch of what I have been working on.

EDT: Updated Pics v2.

Thank you -DeToX-, you are my mortal Jesus for making the BSP Weather Tool. I will remember you forever. :D

And thank you StalkingGrunt911 for teaching me a bit more about entity. You've helped me to fix quite a few problems with the map.

Get rid of the decorators and the trees then skin the cliffs, then post the patch. Try something original next time, k?.

I wasn't trying to be negative just trying to help. Sorry if I appeared slightly negative. I also reckon it would look better if you skinned the bases. Yer but try using an original texture for the cliffs it will look better. Oh and do you know how to null the decorators? Also skinning the bases would look sweet too. I like the snow though. :D

He was just giving you some Advice ^__^. It may sound mean on text, but if he were to say to you through a voice message, It would sound better. I will try to tell you how he meant.

Hello here is some advice.:D Get rid of the decorators and the trees then skin the cliffs (just a tad bit more) then post the patch. And next time on youre next mod, try something like no one eles has done so it will be new and cool. 8)

ok, ok, ok, sorry... I guess I just interpreted you wrong... this is my first mod ever and i got all geeked... and then the first reply I get is kind of a downer...

EDIT:I will take up on your advice if i can figure it out...lol
And i have no clue what decorators are or how to remove them.. lol

Looks really good and liked that you added snow.

To get rid of the DECR go to the [DECR] tag.
Then right click where all the reflexives are at and choose Display>Idents.
Where it says shad[0] right click on it and choose Swap.
Now just null it out.

Hey, thanks a lot man, it looks 10x better without the decals. Also, uncutshadow, i made the map a bit dimmer looks a lot better. I'll post new pics in a bit.

EDIT: I updated the pic. Better?

Looks awesome I am going to play this tommorrow.
Try skinning the tree leaves to make it a little snow on it.

~Don't forget the prefix in the title. :wink:

i skinned the trees... but there is just one thing about playin it... there is no amient sound. Also, no weapons, vehicles, grenades, or powerups spawn either ( you still spawn with a weapon though). I'm still kinda new to modding and have not the slightest clue as how to fix it. All I know is that it got lost when i injected Coags BSP into Gemini.. lol Is there an easy way to restore those spawns just like the player spawns?

also.. what prefix in what title? confused :?:

Yes if you would like I can make a video on it tommorrow or just tell you over something like AIM tommorrow. Do you have it? If so my screen name is lifesuxeatchikn. I think it would be easier for me to help you on it. :)

I'm digging the dimmer version...every Snoagulation I've seen has been uber bright.

Now you just gotta skin eeeeeeeverything else in the level to look frozen. :P
