[WIP] Precipice

[POQPrince]

Thanks. Now if I can just get the portals to fully cooperate, we'll be all good.

Edit: I've finally gotten the background ambient sounds working, which is great. Now the last big hurdle is the portalling. I've done everything I can to try to get them working, and I'm at a total loss. I know Firescythe is too busy to physically help me with them, but might anyone else have some free time to assist? I really want to finish this project before the end of the semester so that I can play it with everyone- otherwise, I won't be able to play online again until September, when I get back to school and good internet.

How's it coming, SM?

There are some members of my clan who might be able to help get this thing done soon.

Thanks!

I haven't gotten much work done on it as a result of frustrating portalling and the end of the school semester. As I've said before- if I can get the portals working right, development on this thing is nearly complete. I just need:

Portals
Fix flag animation glitch
Double-check respawn time on Splaser
(If possible) Change HUD on Splaser so it matches the default HUD instead of the CMT HUD
(Optional, but preferable) Custom lightmaps

And that's about it. Then I have a promo video planned. I want to finish it before the end of the semester so I can play it with people, but I don't know if that will happen now. :/ We'll just have to see.

So any progress?

[Siliconmaster]

Nope. Lol. Finals week is next week, and college is turning into a work clusterfuck. I might be able to take a look at the portals next week some time, but no promises. Once summer hits I'll have more time, but that's when I have no good internet, so even if I finish the map, I can't play it with you guys. D: It makes me sad.

Hey Silicon...

Don't forget that there is free high speed wifi at McDonalds now.

=)

BTW, I can't wait to try this map!

*Good luck on your finals!

[Siliconmaster]

Haha- thanks for the reminder. And thank god finals are almost over- tomorrow I head home to good old New HampShire, dwelling place of Hobbits Hillbillies and Cows.

Still need a classic version of that HUD for the Splaser?

[Siliconmaster]

Yeah, actually, I do. That and the flag animation glitch are the only two tag-related things left to fix. Can you help with that? It would be greatly appreciated.

[chrisk123999]

What exactly is the flag animation glitch? Did you add wind?

[Siliconmaster]

The glitch is related to the vehicles- if you grab the flag and get in any sort of vehicle, instead of disappearing and allowing you to shoot (if in an applicable vehicle like the ghost or banshee) the flag sticks out of your head, or sideways out of your body if in the banshee. In addition, if you try to fire the vehicle weapon, you drop the flag. It's led to some rather loud strings of expletives from ShadowSpartan in gameplay tests. :P

Edit: Also, thanks for the tag fix- I won't be able to test it until after this weekend, but hopefully it will work.
