cp_truss (WIP)

[oxy]

I am with the other guys. Give it a totally new name.

Here is the Wiki article on truss bridges. Read through that and I am sure you will get inspiration for a new name!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss_bridge

Here are a few words that popped out at me while briefly reading through the article.

• Tension
• Compression
• Cantilever
• Thrust

-just a thought.

Maybe cp_lattice? How does that sound?

 

[roninmodern]

Almost done with the basic layout, by the way. Maps based off of square objects are so much easier to block out...

 

[YM]

From that article I quite like:

lattice
shear
box truss

tension also works but I think thrust or compression sound a bit iffy

EDIT: Oh snap, ninja'd with cp_lattice :lol:

 

[roninmodern]

trying to do some pipes like in 2fort but the lighting comes off weird. should I try fewer faces?

 

[MangyCarface]

Good start, but remember windows are bad for visibility

Check your smoothing groups. You can fix it with that (I think it's in the face edit window for textures), but don't ask me details, I didn't need smoothing groups yet
And your water scale inside the pipe is not the same

 

[YM]

Its probably not the faces, its probably how you constructed the pipe. does it look like a shutter on a camera or does it look like lots of little wedges (like a brick archway)
The second is the one you want

 

[Laz]

if its a straight pipe just make it using displacements? and use the caps from 2fort, they are standard models

 

[roninmodern]

Actually I've fixed both.

If you make the pipes out of a 360 degree arch, it's waaay easier.

 

[MangyCarface]

Oh, and here's a vote for cp_tension

 

[AWESOME-O]

cp_bestmapevar!!!111!!!

 

[roninmodern]

Oh, and here's a vote for cp_tension

gonna look into that...cp_tension sounds like it may be taken.

 

[ColdFire]

Looks good. Might be fun to throw out ennemies to the water. You should add sharks in the water
I really like that bridge

 

[Laz]

cp_rivet?

 

[crazychicken]

this is a rip off of ctf_truss

 

[roninmodern]

how is it a ripoff of ctf truss when I wasn't aware that a ctf_truss existed?

 

[DigitalReaper]

Obvious ripoff, I mean it has a bridge in it and everything! </sarcasm>

 

[Laz]

well it has the same name, doesn't it! ripoff!

 

[YM]

Dear lord... Enough guys! This clearly isn't a ripoff, it looks suprisingly similar but even if it is a ripoff why be prickly about it?
