Animus a8

The spawns on stage 3 are way too close together, and stage 1 is a little bit too large and confusing. I also managed to win stage 1 while dead, and the small sheds on stage 2 can trap engineers if they build a sentry outside of it.

Was experimenting with lighting and this happened. I know it looks good and all, but no.

A bit too bright for my liking

I don't get it. Where's the light source for the giant blinding white light?

 

[The Political Gamer]

Looks really strange and unnatural.

Right on the small ramp where the cart goes up. Demomans legs are covering them.

Looks really strange and unnatural.

Yeah its not really something I would want to keep..

 

[Fearlezz]

Any comments on the lighting Im working on? Any tips on how to improve it if you still dislike it?

After:

Also. note that blue isnt green anymore!

Disable shadow on tracks. imo

 

[Ravidge]

From a quick glance it's an improvement, I never liked the yellow ambiance. Glad to see some blue players again.

 

[owly-oop]

The blue player looks now pink-maroonish

Gonna keep the shadows for static lighting in later versions

Ay! When hit by the sun directly. Although when in play arena, Ive carefully placed lights so that it gives a pretty decent blue looking color to the blue players.

Uhh...whoever that guy that wrote to Control point about being labeled a cheater for using the Idler...he mentioned your map, thus Control Point linked to it and talk about it for a short while. Congrats.

Oh right - expect me to post in your thread like I have done in Haarp when you detail everything. It looks nice.

Playing as I type this. The carts got stuck when they crossed and I noticed a few graphics flickers with textures overlapping a little. I'll post more later.

Edit: after the carts got stuck with me on here posting and getting locked out of the game for a period of time, people had rtv'd to a new map. We only got half a round out. Had I been on there I would have reset the round but alas, I wasn't.

 

[Fearlezz]

Did you fix the pitch of the sun(or shadow_control) because we were getting all sort of crazy shadows during the gameday?

EDIT: forgot to say that it looks great so far, keep up the good work.

Yeah I noticed that already in A5, really annyoing. I havent tried to fix it yet, but I think I know what is causing the problem so it shouldnt be much work to fix it.

Yeah, I heard that too, eerie tip me. But they talked about the old setup. Kill to move the cart. I emailed them about it

Yeah, Im still trying to figure out how to fix that cross over bug. And for the overlapping texture, thats small stuff for a early alpha like this

Fearlezz: I would say do it the way pipeline does it and disable one teams ability to push across when it goes across, and have the cart automove through the section in which it can be stuck. It doesn't really break gameplay, I'd think, and your cart won't get stuck.

That's how he should be doing it. That's a prefab in Boojum's gametype library.

 

[Mr.Blob]

I really like the souls idea.

Thats what it does in A6.

 

[steelodon]

Absolutely amazing and creative! Good Job!!

 

[littleedge]

May I suggest in a7 to move the path tracks with the logic entities that you use for the crossovers back a bit more? it could be that it's not halting the other cart fast enough. Just something I'd try.
