the whole crate thing is an in-joke to begin with, so why not have something a little bit personal and fun?

Ok, but what the fuck is Floyd anyway? Since I don't 'get' it, it just looked completely inappropriate at the top of the page (though as someone mentioned the colours/details did work nicely enough with the page).

On the other hand, I don't need any explanation for why the crate is there. : )

It'd be nice to see the crate fixx0red, though.

Floyd is a walking robot enemy metlslime made for Rubicon2. It looks so totally rocking that Vondur made a screensaver of it walking and Lun made a func_logo of it. That's the full story.

Oh, And My 2 Cents

I love the new logo as it is. Nice and clean.

That map looks interesting, but bleh, D3 lighting just looks ass in outside areas, would have required some hacked in lightmaps everywhere to look ok.

Hmm

#7226 posted by Kinn on 2005/02/20 04:38:09

Doom3 has no support for static lightmaps at all? Night-time-only maps it is then :/

Not That I Know What A Static Lightmap Is, Much Less A Lightmap...

#7227 posted by . on 2005/02/20 04:50:27

but it's still nice seeing this kinda stuff in D3.

I believe a lightmap is basically like a big phat texture that gets applied to the geometry to darken (or lighten) the existing textures. Just like in Quake-based engines.

In Doom3, lighting is totally different; recalculated every frame, and done on a per-pixel basis.

The Unreal Engine 3 supports a combination of lightmaps *and* Doom3-style lighting, so that should give the best of both worlds.

I hope Quake IV updates the engine with lightmap capability - Scampie, any comments?

You can hack lightmaps into doom3, by messing around with the materials and lighting in max or something (I've seen it done on some maps, not released stuff tho, so I couldn't say exactly how it's achieved).

This Makes Sense..

That link doesn't seem to work, but it makes me curious that my nick is in it...

And nope, I can't comment about q4 lighting either, sorry; my sphincter is fine just the size it is.

I've played around with the avi capture code base again this afternoon. The AC code relies on too many functions that have been stripped out to work with Dark Places. Sorry.

BTW, if you are using the q3 bsp's with q3map2 with your DP work, picomodel is your new best friend.

I can't comment cuz I don't know at all :D

That Was My Goofy Way

#7234 posted by HeadThump on 2005/02/20 15:54:24

of saying Necros would be spending a lot of time of time using the feature.

Oh No

Now all I need is some blackframe emo glasses. Nah, my head really isn't "it" for this cut, I'm more Vin Weasel than Vin Diesel. But it's a little late now...

I was gonna say "more like Vin Unleaded than Vin Diesel" but you beat me to it with a rhyme. :(
