that beta test was AWESOME, but the nades thing kinda messed it up. That snipe tower at the top of the level is the best, lol my fav spot.

Another beta session today anyone??

Thank you so much guys for your comments and compliments.

I myself can't believe the project is finally getting more concrete after all this long long road. I'm so happy!

O, about the betatesters... I'm so sorry guys but we have more than enough people for the task. I want to say to those having the build we played yesterday to not give it to ANYBODY else now.. I don't want ANYBODY new coming on a betaserver... Please guys be strong and do not give this to ANYBODY.. sorry to repeat but I want this to be clear... There have already been some threatnenings by leakers.. I dont want to multiplicate the risks.
So no need to ask anymore, the beatesters' list is CLOSED.
Thanks.

After the yesterday's betatest I've noticed some more shortcuts to the flag.. I have to fix those once again... So TheGhost, if you're reading, I'll need the last version model one more time (very minor changes). After this, I think it will be finished for good.

Once again, if Rec0 and Vinx are reading, I need their stuff as soon as they can. thks

We 're near the end guys.

I also have a little update. The website is temporarly down due to unknown reasons. I haven't been able to get a hold of my host so it may be a day or two before it is up again.
Sorry for any problems this causes.

EDIT: Nevermind. My host was able to get it back up.

I have finally finished to rework the model... Once again, TheGhost is putting it ingame

. Let's hope that this time the map will be perfectly playable... TheGhost said me we should have working lifts this time.
I hope to have the missing signs textures from Vinx at time.
Another thing is that since I have still no news from Rec0, I've given the 2 songs to THeGhost, and he'll be putting those ingame..

So prepare yourself, the new build is coming and it will blow you away! (is it correct english?)

Lol, hahaha, yeah it is "blow you away" the term "blow you" means somthing very very different, it means the same as le travail de coup if you understand that. lol

yoyorast · Post by **yoyorast** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 4:06 pm

This is not the first time I anounce the model is finished but maybe and hopefully, it might be the last time.

Most of the work has been focused in making impossible to get the flag without making the entire lap around the map or score.. so no more shortcuts... same thing for the scoring...

Lightning is finishing what Vinx began: the missing sign texture. He is also preparing a ground texture...

I'm sure TheGhost won't take long to put this ingame... He's faster than Light.

Thks guys. Prepare yourself for the next and maybe the last build before the final realize.

yoyorast, i saw that in some of the video, the map lacked smoothing, if the bsp were sent to me, i could smooth it for you, and give it back to theghost.

Tack122 · Post by **Tack122** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 5:22 pm

its not really supposed to be smoothe...

There are too few polys in the areas that need smoothing for the threshold to smooth it out. It's not like the SGs aren't applied, they're just not doing anything because the angle is too great. I have yet to decide what I want to do about that, because I don't really want to tell yoyo to add anymore polys or just unecessarily tesselate it.
