well, its not nearly done.

And good map makers know "never give a release date" because if you miss it, people get pissed.

Yeah, I've planned it out completely so actually building the level won't take long. When it comes to what I have planned for the lighting and specular stuff, I honestly have no idea how long it will take. It could run faster than I expected, in which case I'll insert more polygons to make it look even better. Or it could run slower than I want. I hope that doesn't happen.

so is it gunna have multiple pews?

maybe a large cross at the front to hide behind...

CrowPath · Post by **CrowPath** » Wed Feb 23, 2005 3:36 am

A small update for today. The roof is on, the pews are all in, the upstairs section is more realistic and less 'corridor-like' and some basic windows have been put in.

I've also made some steps leading up to a dais at one end of the main room, but I need to redo them, cos the Chief does an idiotic dance up them instead of a normal run (I'll halve the number of steps and insert a clipping field so he goes up them smoothly).

THESE TEXTURES ARE ONLY TEMPORARY!

Cool...Looks good so far!! You need any beta testers??

or is this too much of an early stage

Pie · Post by **Pie** » Wed Feb 23, 2005 6:12 am

guessing too much of an early stage. But he probably already has people in mind to help (if any).

Update looks good, can't wait to see it with some kick-ass bumpmapping

Looks good, Dude!

I'm still here, but I haven't had much time to work on it this week. I have found and converted some nice textures though and have made some of the bump maps to go with them. Here's a couple of them in action, in what will become the red flag room:

Wow, Nice bump mapping...Hows the progress of the whole map in general coming on?

Church Dynamic Lights Movie (900Kb)

Above is a link to small movie showing off the new dynamic lights. I'm happy with how they look and work now and as long as the portalling of the level is good there is only a minor fps hit when using multiple lights.

Honestly, the picture below doesn't do them justice, get the movie!

Looks awesome!

WOAH...Did you make the texture? Or just bump map? I can not even make noobie textures

CrowPath · Post by **CrowPath** » Sun Mar 06, 2005 2:47 pm

The floor texture was a ready made texture, so I only had to change the size and colour to fit in. The wall texture was a massive photograph of a real wall that I had to cut, change the perspective of, resize and recolour, and then make tileable (so that the edges match when you repeat the texture). That took a while.

Bump maps are odd to make and the amount of time varies wildly depending on the texture. The floor texture was easy and only took about 5-10 mins. The wall took about one and a half hours.

Its worth it...It fucking owns...great job..cant wait to play this map...Siege OWNED but was never played much

love the light dynamics, love the bump mapping, and love the textures. Great job, and i can certainly see the hard work you are putting into this.

Great job.
