Special Battle: Team 3.5

[Dead-Inside]

lol. I think my plan to abuse the fact these don't have to be playable and I have a beefy computer of death backfired.

This map just is not suited for gldsrc at all. but I made my bed and Now I will sleep in it. The show must go on!

I'm a bit ashamed but... I'm taking some pleasure in this. Hope it helps.

I warned you about those cliffs ;P you need to use the triangle method, so that you won't get any invalid blocks. It works the same way as a displacement, but you need to create the divisions with the clip tool. But it ends being more versatile since you don't have to be limited to using just triangles. You can then turn them into a func_wall so that they wont take too many polies, and change the link flags to opaque (if you're using zones tools) so that they create shadows.

That's the stupid thing. it's not the cliffs.

I can do cliffs. I'm quite good at it. It's when hammer starts throwing up invalid objects on something which was valid two seconds a go.

Or the classic. It's a perfect cube. I moved one vertex. It died. I'm just plowing through it. I like my concept for it so i think i'll remake it in source or Unreal 3.0 at some point.

Now, we get into the heart of the battle and why this all started, 4 smokes 3.5.

Ha Ha!

Actually I thought the heart of the battle was to prove that a good map is down to skill and ability. Not how powerful your engine or editor is.

[slayera]

It started here.

So the battle was the result of that. I think you proved my point, but the battle still has merit.

[Athlete{UK}]

In which case. It is I who are the sucky one. 3.5 is great and perfectly fine. I'm just shit.

Right game on.

Everybody knows all the 1337 mappers started on 3.5


ZOMFG

displacement tool just made it easier to do that.

Niiice, perhaps some sprites on the lights?

[SlappyBag]

People are actually doing somthing? I'd better load up hammer!

[Mr. Happy]

Looks like I'll be pulling an all-nighter, forgot about timezones!

[Athlete{UK}]

Deadlines come and gone. I take it we're carrying on though?

I've been really busy at college and still am to be honest but i'm trying to get this done
