Yes. See, the water shader is set up so it renders on both sides of the plane, but adding the doublesided flag to the material makes too add polys to each side of the plane on export.

You doublesided a doublesided, so you get two water planes rendering over top of each other.

As for the glass issue, I had to do a bit of tweaking on my video drivers to get them to install properly; I am also running win7 x64, so that could potentially be causing that issue.

What is the deal with that rainbow affect on the glass? It looks so bad ingame D:

Would you be able to give me a bit of help as to what you did to fix the glass issues?

No idea, hopefully it'll all get fixed when we get the new glass bitmaps done.

Does the ground texture still need to be done?

I'm still making alterations to the terrain, so yeah, the only thing we have right now is a tiling placeholder :p

I'd be glad to try to help. Try, though, setting your bitmap to compile with interpolated alpha and recompile, see if that helps.

It's not possible, unfortunately, to do bumped glass shaders in CE. PC can, but due to the shader engine work, CE doesn't seem to support it.

That's news to me, considering the bump maps show up on my laptop :S

But yeah, I'd love your help with that; pretty sure you already have my aim, if not it's in my profile :p

I can see the bumped glass as well, but the cubemaps always come out in some trippy rainbow fashion.

holy shit, its lightning

Thanks to all of you who played it today, we got a lot of heatmap data that's helping us make the appropriate alterations to the map. This shit really helps a lot.

Here's some very incomplete heatmap data here.

There's a lot more than what is shown here, however something got fucked up with the heatmap generator so theres some funky objs there that are giving us really odd data (kills and deaths way outside of the map)

Most of what is missing here is in the second obj that was generated, but as I said that's not in here :(

What I'm doing now is finishing up the middle area pit to be a lot more interesting for gameplay, but otherwise I'd say everything was fairly well balanced. The walking path is very reasonable once the gates have been opened, and the teleporter that goes right to the flag didn't cause any issues either. Hopefully the only changes to gameplay we make from this point on are minor, and we can get onto finishing up the level geometry and detailing (especially portals). I'm also considering gravity lifts to replace the ladders in the middle if we can find a way to make them sync.

Anyway, thanks again for all the data you let us collect today, it's making my job way easier :)
