How's that PSA go? "When you play with pirated software, you're playing with Satan" or something like that.

That's what my pastor told me.

I love it when maps play with shadows like that

You can thank Aly and Layl who convinced me to do so, wouldn't have got the lighting to this point without the chatroom

Just be careful with optimization and filesize with that resolution of lightmaps.

 

[Freyja]

Should be fine, it's a small map as it is, and it's only one floor on each side Also lightmaps have no impact on runtime optimisation...that's the point of lightmaps. They're preloaded into texture memory.

This is just so hilarious when you take the ideas of pure communism into consideration.

 

[TyeZenneth]

It's funny because it's true.

 

[ManBeaR]

So I can download communism rigth to my computer? Yes, please.

vbsp is such bullshit

I wonder how hard it'd be to wright a new vbsp.....

 

[dustmotes]

Smashing some brain cells together, thinking of layouts, and wishing I could get back to my desktop and start doing some real mapping. I think the slightly asymmetrical layout of Sawmill is interesting, and it gave me this idea.

I'll see if I can get this on paper if I get over my laziness.

Is Sawmill really asymmetrical, though?

 

[Idolon]

Sawmill, Lumberyard, and Watchtower all have asymmetry.

I get what he's saying in regards to Sawmill, but I think it's kind of a moot point. And I've never even noticed asymmetry in the other two.

 

[Corvatile]

Sawmill, Lumberyard, and Watchtower all have asymmetry.

How is Watchtower asymmetrical? Just the direction of the staircase?

 

[YM]

sawmill is very asymmetrical, lumberyard has minor asymmetries and I have barely played watchtower more than a handful of rounds.

The level of asymmetry in lumberyard and sawmill makes me wonder why. I'd have thought if they were going down asymmetry it'd be substantial like hydro. Such a minor asymmetry just seems odd.

If it's still fairly balanced, why not? It changes things up a little.
