125 is certainly sweet :) 333 is another that alot seem to like. We have differing experiences and information there, but as long as your happy with what you got, all is good
Yes I seen that, that could be very cool indeed, have to blow the dust of max6 and have a look when it is right. Allot (well some) make there entire UT2004 maps in Max, and use progies like jamlander to import everything to UEd, and just use UEd for setting up entitie type stuff
Q2K4 The site works fine for me, well except it isn't much of a site. And no readme in the zip, that could have been handy. I checked it out. Everything past a certain distance was HOM, which strikes me as odd. Doesn't sound promising, but I guess, I'm happy with the engine I use now, it would have to be good to get me to change, so.. I just like looking just incase. the site worked, but there was no interesting content anyway... no screenshots even, which is pretty crap for a page about a new ENGINE True; True; Said "Screenshots coming soon"; True, but he, or she maybe just beginning, give them a chance, you've got to start somewhere. That's one thing about this place. You people are generally all so damned good and experienced at what you do, your standards are quite high, and some seem to forget that others may be only just staring out. The Func_ crowd can be a very intimidating bunch. a) Maximum performance 100% of the time is required for serious play. No fps drops are allowable, so settings go waaaay down to help ensure flawless performance this.
b) Minimizing distractions helps the player focus. Especially in quakeworld, this is the main issue out of these 2 I am discussing. Think about playing deathmatch in quake: how many different detail-intense surfaces are actually assisting the player in recognizing their enemy and other vital objectives? Very few, so some players use gl_picmip and other commands to reduce the complexity of unvital yet visually complicated geometry (like textures on walls that become solid colors, like legos). Assuming visual processing in the brain has a limited capacity, reducing this complexity of unncessary surfaces helps "free up processor power" for use in other things. Like aiming accurately and killing stuff. That's one thing about this place.

True VoreLord. the "standards" are very high here, because of the mappers experience and quality we can found on Func_, but intimidating is perhaps very strong to explain the feeling of beginner... Disappointing will be very best to use here: you do your best to build a map, hoping it's the better map ever done over the world :) and suddenly, experimented people come and told you your job is almost holly shit... :(( Thus, if you survive to the suicide, you retry with an other map, and persevere to improve yourself, just taking into account bad remarks and sad comments as "what not to do"... That's the only way to survive here... ;-P Seperate yourself from the object in question. Don't place any importance on your own emotions. Sieze your inner Oprah and kick her ass out of your head.
In touch with your feelings? What have your feelings ever done for you? Have they ever made you any money? Have they ever got you laid? Screw 'em. You don't need them. Don't take anything personally and you'll be a much happier, and less prone to emotional blackmail, person. Suicide is not my cup of tea... I prefer mapping instead of death, even pro mapper will not like my work... What doesn't kill you, make you become stronger... and improve yourself in most of cases...
I prefer mapping instead of death
For some reason that quote brings up flashbacks of Daikatana. Dunno why. viewing PuLSaR's site http://www.quakemaps.nm.ru using IE5.5 on Win95. All I get is blank empty pages, no error message. The picture only pages work, though.
Does someone else also experience this problem or have any idea what's causing it? Personally, I prefer death instead of Daikatana.
*ducks* (Yes, I have played it. Own the original cd, in fact.) Doom III will happen this summer. I'm guessing late July or sometime in August. From every review I've read they have set their hearts on it to be done by the end of the summer and move on to a new project. As far as Half-Life 2 that's anyone guess. No matter how many gameplay movies I've seen though I cannot for the life of me get excited about HL2. Well see what happens I guess.
DooM3
Me hopes for early to mid July, somewhere around the 17th would be nice ;), I am starting the upgrade process this weekend in preparation. Half-Life 2 No matter how many gameplay movies I've seen though I cannot for the life of me get excited about HL2 Thank the Lord, I am not alone, I have exactly 0 interest in HL2. But no doubt it will be hugely popular and enjoyable to those who like that type of thing. A map from the CBP2 map pack for UT2004, I never bothered trying it, as I thought it was a bit of a joke/gimmicky, (gimmicky, which it is) But what a blast, thoroughly enjoyable, humorous. Try it out if you are in the neighborhood.
Going for the DoubleDamage will never be the same. Half-Life 2 will be great, I've no doubt. But I would be amazed if it has the impact of the first one. From what I've seen, there are too many gimmicky features in the game - bot ai sidekicks, all the physics hype, drivable vehicles etc. Valve should have taken what was good in the first one and amplified it, rather than introduce a load of extra stuff that may fall flat. So far all the hands-on previews I've read from gaming magazines have a been a bit underwhelming.
Now Doom 3 is a different kettle of fish. By its very nature, it will be a less complex game than HL2, in fact, from what I've seen, it looks to be a Hellified version of Half-Life 1. C'mon, it's obvious - basically the same plot - replace Black Mesa Complex with Mars Base, Aliens with Demons, and Xen with Hell. I can't see any difference in the concept. It's obvious id are trying to "do a Half-Life", and with their art team, and of course the big JC, they might just win this summer stand-off. I'm a little bit concerned about all the cut-scenes though - I'm not sure why they chose to go down that route after the success of HL's very much in-game scripted sequences, but time will tell. all the shooters are clones of original WOLFENSTEIN :D
they just have various settings and monsters, but the goal is one: kill everyone who tries to kill you :) it doesn't look like this incarnation of Geocomp has lived up to previous years. Gleeb's looked good, and the one by Cyberdemon (shudder) might be nice, but most of those maps look like n00b efforts.
On the Doom 3 Vs. Half Life 2 front, I really don't know what to think anymore. When I first saw D3 i thought it was awesome, but that was the 1st time i saw realtime bumpmapping. Then when I saw HL2 i thought it looked much better. Now, thinking about it, i dont really care... not too excited about either
