It's mostly in an indoor area.

#7622 Posted 18 January 2017 - 06:15 PM

The interior is looking pretty dark. You sure you didn't mean to post in the Doom 3 forums?

To me it´s the silouette of a cowboy´s hand about to get the revolver, on a duel

OK, I took the obscuring too far. Here is something clearer.
I'm not posting anything else about this till nearer release, but I can say that Gambini is getting warm.

The general form and shading is alright, but I did notice a couple of things:
If you follow the perspective lines from the barrel of the gun to the butt/stock/rear portion you'll see that they have two slightly different perspectives which gives the impression that the gun is bent. Should be fixable by shaving off a few pixels. I also notice that the holes around the top of the barrel aren't in perfect alignment, which creates more accidental extra perspective lines. If you work in layers you should be easily able to rotate and shift things around to fix it, although it might require shaving off part of the holes on the rightmost line. Otherwise it's a good start.

I also noticed the 'bent gun' thing, but didn't say anything since I didn't know the names of the gun parts

If it had shaper claws I'd say it's a good candidate for the enforcer:

My heart skipped a beat or two, and then I browsed a few pages back. Gambini, you're a treasure.

Gambini, are you gonna change the final boss? I thought it was cool and fun but it didn't seem to have a connection to any of the DNF build bosses that I know of; Octaking or cycloid. The cycloid has been done a million times though so I respect your decision not to have him and do something different! Can't wait to play what you have brewing!

I hope there will be also new inspired DNF trailer levels or this awesome upgrade to the mod will lose much of his potential or even all it's sense.

Warp Factor looks really good in that screenshot!

The original Warp Factor is wildly out of proportion. Besides the bridge secret, it bears no resemblance to any Federation ship whatsoever, apart from the basic, approximate shape of the layout as a whole.

Wasn´t there an autoshading map script? that´d come handy there, shading will add depth and size to it.

Anyway: I just put the first model on place -which is an achievement considering i had to go really obscure with google to find the right steps- but for some reason the skin looks like half (or even one quarter) its size, making it look all pixelated. The tile is saved as 8bits indexed png, 512x512. Any idea how to fix ir?

For the record I'm hoping that you are using a fairly lowish resolution so that the art style is consistent with the rest of the art. But yeah that doesn't look too great in its current glitchy state.

Fox did make an autoshading script that works in-game. Hendricks made a port of it to mapster script at one point but but was glitchy and several surfaces were unaffected. Nothing's really happened since then. A real shame since I'd make extensive use of such a script. In the mean time if there's not much coded behaviour happening in that section of the map, you could start it up in-game with the script running, then do a "dndebug" to output the map with the shading applied.

I've used Hendrick's sector mirroring script to do the underside of the saucer section of that Federation ship. So if he does decide to continue working on scripts I'd want him to know that they're being put to good use as opposed to sitting on a hard drive collecting dust Posted Image

Under Render Setup, make sure that 'High Res Texture Quality' is all the way over to the right.

Also, how did you index the PNG?

Thanks! Now i realize it only happens in mapster, in eduke it looks fine!

Well i always index these skins so they are true duke look, and then i saved it as png. Now that you ask, maybe it wasnt indexed, just respected the old colors?

I was going to say, if you knock the skins down, it will have that 128-pixel-sprite look.

Do you get hungry when wandering around in the average everyday theme park? come on down to the Electric Diner, where we sell burgers, fries, and other kinds of crap! All it requires is a yellow key card.
