Looks like having to remake it may be a blessing in disguise...

This is looking really nice so far, I like that the map is all set over water, just looks very nice. The rain and stuff I remember liking a lot when it was still the old map, so I'm glad you decided to keep that.

Are you still planning on bringing back the features you had on the old map? Like a special wave mode et. al?

The map's looking pretty good, THEYUKEMAN! Though, correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't help but notice that there doesn't seem to be any sort of global directional light, although it could just be the angle of all of the screenshots... :o Well regardless, I personally think you could make the overall map a little darker and perhaps increase the fog range by just a tad so it doesn't seem too low-visibility.

@AirSpeedRedux

I will do my best to redo everything I had earlier, and hopefully make it better in the process.

@Marth

I actually do have directional light, but when I took the photos, I had "shadows" turned off. I like your suggestions regarding the lighting, and I'll adjust the map accordingly.

Here are some revised pictures. I've adjusted the lighting so it's a bit darker and made the map less foggy.

Is the lighting to your liking? :D

Ah! Perfect! :o Heh, now it just feels like it's lacking something else... Foliage? Not sure... The Flooded Oil Refinery version had a lot of foliage like trees and associated junk, right?

Yeah, it did. I'm working on that right now. I need to add some more branches to the trees, and add some more bamboo.

I like that crane looming out of the fog in one of the pictures on page 5. :thumbs:

Well, like I said a while back, everything crashed. That being said, I refuse to give up on this map. Here is what I've got so far.

I've been working all day to bring everything up to speed. I have everything backed up on an external hard drive so I will suffer no more pitfalls. This map WILL BE COMPLETED!

P.S.

I'm tweaking from my original design a bit, but things will remain fairly similar. I've removed the rain storm but there's still ambient jungle sounds (stolen from Dagobah).

Reboot-ception. We must go deeper.

Jokes aside, I wish you the best of luck.

Oh and if possible, make backups of the backups. I'm speaking from experience when I say one backup isn't always enough.

And that's the story of how I lost all of TCW's animation msh sources...

Looking good again! This map is what used to be Flood Oil Refinery, right?

Yeah, this used to be Flooded Oil Refinery. The style has been changing so much, I figured a new name would be in order. There are hardly any oil refinery props anymore.

Great to see a reboot of this, I liked the old oil refinery, and your mapping as been looking great (shame about Coruscant: Skyline, it was still a great map).

I look forward to updates!

Awesome; I'm glad to hear that this map is being continued. I've still got the original in my addon folder. Really liking the misty look you've got going.

I would say that this is quite a bit of progress for just two days.

Getting fire/smoke effects working in maps (and looking good like this) is my least favorite part of mapping, always seem to be in the wrong spot...
Map is looking great so far, if I may suggest, it could be cool if you had like a "broken" platform and has two ramps that fell down so you can fight a little in some shallow water. Just a suggestion though.

What's the story behind using both flaming torches and street lamps? :P Regardless, the atmosphere of the map looks quite nice!

Is it safe to assume that not only do those fire pfx have sounds attached to them, but they also have flickering (or the sort) lights attached to them as well? :o The look is fantastic, but there are those extra things that must never be forgot(ten).


If you need a light template, feel free to use the one from the Prothean Skyway:

Code: Select all

[GameObjectClass]
ClassLabel			= "light"

[Properties]
Color				= "255 255 128"
ConeLength			= 0.0
ConeWidth			= 0.0
ConeInitialWidth		= 0.0
ConeFadeFactor		= 0.0
ConeFadeLength		= 0.0
FlareIntensity		= 0.2
FlickerType			= 5
FlickerPeriod		= 0.5
OmniRadius			= 15.0

SpecularCaster	= 1
You may want to lower the OmniRadius a bit - maybe to 5.0-7.0, but yeah, you know. ;)
