That looks a lot bigger than in the screens, hehehehe.

Layout's looking good.

Thanks

Rough scale on the blueprint: MC=15x24 pixels(viewed from above). This is basically a guess, since I don't have my map to look at.

srry for double post, but fewer people would read it if I just edited it in.

I got the laptops. One is a Dell Latitude, the other a Toshiba Satellite

I was wrong about their processors

One is a P3m(the dell)

The other, a P1(the toshiba)

The P3 is faster than my desktop P3

but it's graphics are worse(as in Halo-Will-Only-Run-At-640x480-with-no-reflections/specular-whatsoever worse)

It will be able to run 3dsmax

However, I won't be able to test any specular/reflective properties on textures i make while on it

my uncle forgot to send me the wireless card with it (or maybe he kept it for himself

)

the hard drive is 10gb

it only has 1 USB port

256 MB ram

I shouldn't complain though. I got them for free

BTW, I should have an updated blueprint to post later tonight, or tomorrow.

Blueprint.

red/blue dots: spawn points on ctf.
grey dots: spawn points
dark cyan lines:bullet proof glass
light cyan lines:glass
brown rectangles: mechanical doors.

WOW.

can't wait to see this one in action, glad to see it's true to the original level design too, even in detail. any word on custom material getting in-game? (sory if it's listed in the earlier pages, i haven't read all of them)

btw, congrats on the 2 free laptops. i wish i was as lucky, i'd at least have something to carry around and screw with wireless networks. *prays for a laptop*

this looks sick. the not so good parts of the lap tops arent so bad, since you saved so much on the price of them you could upgrade.

cant wait to see this finished.

laptops can be very hard to update though. thats why i want to get a desktop as well. i love my laptop and all but i cant upgrade it!!!!

so in your opinion do you have a better idea for a release date?

i mean other than just like the summer?

(dont flame me for "dont rush him geeze it's a piece of art" im just wondering not rushing)

I really have no idea when I will be finished with this. I still don't have my desktop computer, so I don't have access to my work. I would probably be almost done by now if I hadn't gotten my computer taken away.. >_<

Looks great, can't wait for the finished product.

pretty much...

mebe I'll set up the toilets like the switches in hugeass...you have to flush em in the right order, and something special will happen.

rossmum · Post by **rossmum** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 3:15 am

That would be hilarious.

DO IT.

TomClancey · Post by **TomClancey** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 9:05 am

man that would be. It be like flush toilet 1,3,2,5,4. You have succesfully flooded The Facility.

-Laser- · Post by **-Laser-** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 3:43 pm

there are 7 toilets, if I remember correctly, and 11 if you count the urinals. That's a lot of combinations.

Maybe it will make it possible to get the c4 plastique...I'd have to give the blue team their own equivilant. Maybe if you destroy the gas tanks in the right order or something.

I know. I'll make it so after flushing each toilet, you have to wait a minute or so before the others toilets are flushable. That way, once the code is discovered, people won't be entering it within the first few minutes of the game. Or maybe the code will have to be entered half on the toilets, half on the gas tanks in the last room.

Then again, maybe I would use trigger volumes, and you have to have 4 people stand in the right spots throughout the level. Perhaps in the same places as soviet soldiers were found in Goldeneye.

Or maybe a combination of all the above.

and it all must be done within 5 minutes

!!!!!!!

Of course, this is all speculation, I don't have much scripting experience, but I doubt it will be hard at all to learn what I need to know.

Is it possible to make a weapon spawn using a script? If not I suppose I could just make a piece of scenery that blocks access to the weapon and would be destroyed when the right combination was entered.

I definitely want to include the c4 plastique(not as a starting weapon)...Just imagine planting a 1 minute one on the oddball.

How about doing thing like making it so that when you blow up the gas tanks it hurts you to walk in the tank room?

Or how about this! Make a hidden toliet a vehicle?

How about the DK Mode

lol. I considered doing that with the rolling office chairs.

As for the gas tanks, I might have them just explode a bit(2 nades worth mebe?). It'd be kinda unfair if it did too much damage, since there is no equivilant in the opposite base. Then again, I'm not making this level with ctf in mind as much as Oddball and King. It would be an interesting twist for the hill to be in a room that slowly kills you. But I'm not even sure if that can be done via scripts. I know you can make a volume that kills you instantly, but I dont know about one that slowly takes health away...unless...

I KNOW!!! Invisible silent flood infection AIs that can be spawned when tanks are destroyed! After a few minutes, the gas would dissipate(ai_erase_all)

lol...
