PLR Panic b2

[Ravidge]

Hammer keeps crashing my computer, frustrating to say the least.

I wonder how many more force-reboots it takes until my vmf is corrupted! (I'm up to 5 so far, already backupped)
I don't know why it does it, so I'll just hope it goes away peacefully. Progress was pretty minimal today.

Once the competition is over I'll go around doing some major revisions to the detailing. And actually add something to the indoor parts
Makes me regret I didn't start detailing earlier, me and my gameplay balancing ruins it again! oh well.

Should I do one of these progress reports for each day until the deadline? hehe

Day 2:
Crashing has continued, smoke started pouring from the computer. Added some roof vents.

Day 3:
Hammer crashed and the computer caught on fire, called fire brigade - computer still works. Backed up the map and done some work on the spawn rooms.

Day 4:
Computer exploded and severed several limbs, luckily, I can still press the mouse with my right hand little finger. Added explosion.

Day 5:
Entire building collapses due to the crash shockwave. Computer and back up files make it out alive. Added cows.

Day 6:
Food is low, and water is scarce as the crashing appears to have an adverse on effect on local "best before" dates. Textured whole map and added 3D skybox.

Day 7:
Us survivors are cooped up within an apartment building - we are immune to the zombification effects of the crash shockwave. However, Panic still lives, and now has these neat 3D soundscapes.

Day 8:
These.... are.... my last words.. a10 is out! Have fun guys!

How did the zombies tunnel into a collapsed building?

Either way, we're pretty screwed.

Hammer has started to rebel against Scoville aswell...

Gentlemen... the uprising has begun!

 

[FreeLance_FoX]

Zombies goasts?

Zombie goat?

:O

 

[absurdistof]

OT: Did you draw that?

 

[Tapp]

OT: Did you draw that?

Yes, that's why someone else's name is on it. Anyway, I really hope you get this all wrapped up by the end of the competition, it's looking really good. I would say good luck, but my chips are on scoville.

 

[Ravidge]

Hehe, Randdalf. That was hilarious

DAY 2 - "What are you talking about? there's plenty o' time left!"
Only got a few hours in hammer this morning, a total of 2 crashes and 1 corrupt autosave.

I think it (the entire map) is like 90% textured now.
Next up: clipping...

 

[DaBeatzProject]

That's looking pretty sexy. But I have a suggestion, not that important, but...
Could you wrap the things around your images? It's just a little handier :D

Keep it up Ravidge! And most important,
[I]Don't Panic![/I]








:facepalm:

Don't Panic!

This map is too important to fail like this

 

[Ravidge]

Don't Panic!

Panic is exactly what I have to do.

This map is too important to fail like this

It's not like I will abandon the map after the deadline. I'm just aming to get a 'okay' version out for now.

 

[Ravidge]

Day 3. Compiled

Also made a placeholder 3D sky.

 

[DaBeatzProject]

Love it. D:

 

[Gerbil]

Looks great!

 

[The_Ulf]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaawt

 

[Ravidge]

Forgot the status update yesterday!

"old" screenshots, there has been some adjustments, but that is how it generally looks atm.
My plan is to start clipping and optimizing today.


Edit: and the crashing has stopped! No more zombie apocalypse... atleast not one you could blame on me.
