I was refering to the invisible wall at the base and the missing glass in the redside tunnel.Quote:

Or me, also with my computer on 24/7
Why though :v:

Beautiful waterfall. Glad to see you got the fog working.
Well done. Project Shockwave definitely needs you.
You have no idea... :suicide:Quote:

Because those don't work too well in halo 1?Quote:

I want a 1200x3000 of that for my desktop.
I love it.
Con will not be doing wallpapers for anyone until he makes one at 1920x1200 of the loading screen for me.
Is halos max size at 2048x2048?Quote:

This thread title is mis-leading me all of a sudden.
loading screen for the map? good idea, but wrong dimensions
You misinterpreted my post.Quote:

Well, I can just barely see them in the last pic, so I'm certainly not going to complain.
I just hope the shroom is as hard to see...
Haha. Yeah, they look great now. Awesome work. :DQuote:

:downs:
You also have to fix the model so the waterfall has fog and the pits don't go down 2x the depth they should be.
Protip: Running lightmaps all the way down to 0.00001 will not be noticeably better than running it down to, say, .24
I think they get a little darker if you get to 0.00001 but otherwise I just go half way.Quote:

After looking at the cliff uvs, the only way to get rid of the seams left by the box map is to unwrap the cliffs. To my knowledge, using a box uvw will always have some kind of uneven or ugly seam. I would unwrap it but I don't have much time. Sorry :\
Besides that though, the level looks awesome. I played it for the first time tonight and was blown away at the amount of visual detail. I wasn't to detracted by the cliffs, but some spots were noticeable.
It looks like there was a rush job on the cliffs in hopes to release the map on October 22. Thank God it wasn't. It looks amateurish and unfinished - worthy of being only beta status, not final release. Finish the map paying attention to all detail and don't release until all existing problems are fixed.
You put a lot of work into the map and there was countless hours of work done to make the map aesthetically pleasing. Don't let a half-assed rushed job on the cliffs blow it.
That's just one part of the map. It's one of hundreds. Any rock wall you look at looks identical to that.
Yeah that is REALLY bad. Fix. Or I will never play it.
I thought it was just a given that you would unwrap a surface like that. I mean, I simply wouldn't consider box projection an alternative.Quote:

Unwrapping seamless cliffs takes forever. Not suggested unless you have a lot of good music and patience.
sel we need talk. bruh
*stopped lightmaps*
WE do not care! Also p nice to see map is released soon :neckbeard:Quote:

You should either have some border effect on the top and bottom of the cliffs (e.g. the moss on dangercanyon_cliff_walls), or have the ground near the cliffs transition to the color of the cliffs (e.g. Blood Gulch).Quote:

Ugh no. Just do it like a man. I once unwrapped the entire Blood Gulch canyon seamlessly. You old farts should remember the Blood Gulch scenario files release. I studied that map in SparkEdit so much to get the scenario and BSP things as close as possible to the real thing.
manly uvw'ing, sounds hot
Sel, after looking at your ground shader.. :saddowns: talk to me on xfire
fine Ill fuckin uv it faggs
:]
peer pressure
It looks fine.I believe Con can fix whatever it is you dont like with the shader.Quote:

I didn't make the shader, Sel did.
Well then Sel could probably fix it. Whatever the problem was.
Well Sel ended up fixing it...well...some of it.........
The Good
The Ugly
More...
Get someone to UV it, because I definitely don't know how then.
Wow you really went to town.
lookit this mess :smith:
EDIT:
I changed the waterfall again.
- removed the details from the main waterfall mask as they betrayed the sense of movement
- added a sheets mask to the white water that gives large-scale variation
- replaced one of the maps on the shader behind the white water to look more like waves and less like splashy water
It has a greater sense of movement now, I just need to adjust the model a bit more to fix the uv's and that visible edge.
Con, what would be the reason that the waterfall doesn't show up in Sapien or the game for me? I used a recent build that Sel sent me and he said the waterfall showed up fine for him.
Ohh nice waterfall.
Cause you're doing it wrong...Quote:

No, I may unintentionally be doing something wrong, though I am fairly sure I am doing everything correctly. Sel sent me a map and without modifying it at all I couldn't see the waterfall in game, he could. I extracted the contents of said map and could not see the waterfall in Sapien either. This leads me to believe it is something wrong with the map/game, since I never changed anything that would effect the water fall.
So instead of saying "you're doing it wrong", perhaps you can suggest some things that may cause the waterfall to not appear (instead of being totally useless)!
Does camo show up properly for you?
Yes, I'm using Yelo and it appears to have a built in camo fix.
Maybe your graphics card has issues rendering complex skies, or you have an older version of the sky (why would you have this?) that did not have the waterfall in it, and you didn't overwrite it when you ripped the level.
Someone please unwrap this shit.
The new waterfall shaders look strange.. I can't really describe it, the older ones look better.
Think it looks p good!
Seems like maybe the new waterfall is too transparent - not white enough - and the V's aren't as well defined anymore.

I've been able to see the waterfall on older builds.
For some reason, the textures really don't 'pop' to me.
All of the forerunner stuff just seems undetailed.
'heh'
Does it matter? Its a game...

Needs moar vidya clip.
I don't know where your getting this information, but as far as I remember, yelo battery release #3 (the latest) did not have a camo fix. DXTweaker dosen't work with it either, so what are you talking about..Quote:

Your camo might be completley fine, my old 9500gt camo worked fine.
note for sel:
my native res is 1920x1200, so I can get you any pictures in that res if you want.
last waterfall pic I swear! (it's done)
Yes, that little edge has been fixed.
