Map Battle 30 - Christmas! (And other winter festivities!)

[vcool]

Better angle of church:

get rid of the bird, put snow onto the wooden log.

Certainly out snow on the log. In retrospect, the bird looks prety good. Looks like a background map. GJ

OH OOOOOH

Haha - I almost pissed myself when I saw that. Futurama's Christmas shows where the best.
Really great work on him, by the way.

[Phott]

Cool, anyone else celebrating Winter-een-mas? ^^

Might join if I have time.

[no00dylan]

What about Ghostmas?

10$ to anyone who knows what Ghostmas is, and who celebrates it.

Seriously, for knowing about Blockhead and Ghostmas? And #1

Laughing your ass off will ensue.

Where's the money?

[no00dylan]

Sorry, my weevil ate it, just before i gave it to you.

Someone should do a ghostmas map!

Meh, I have enough money anyway.

Just wanted to say that, so that you guys are sure that there are more than 3 contestants...

Another vision of mine about what's really going on up north. As you can tell I'm basing my entire entry on things I see in movies


EDIT: I'm having some problems with my evil robot santa. Every time I compile it I get this:


Loading c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\toehaxxor@hotmail.com\sourcesdk_content\hl2\mapsrc\santa.bsp
Setting up ray-trace acceleration structure... Done (4.88 seconds)
3201 faces
4 degenerate faces
340184 square feet [48986504.00 square inches]
78 Displacements
52041 Square Feet [7493926.00 Square Inches]
Stack overflow in neighbors



If that's not enough ask me to post the compile log.

So there i was, all "what a weak and shitty theme, this is going to be bollocks"

And thus

No00dlefacedylan has already popped the christmas cherry with a sickass map that gets my vote (depending on whether or not Cremator uses his epic skillz) due to sheer cockyness xD

Can't enter, busy making a mod. Might whack in that mod material with a snowy theme though

Kreamy is going to Thailand, not sure when though.

And on the compile issue.

4 degenerate faces

You have some faces that are degenerate, which means they have some concave polygons on them. You can't bend the vertices too much or else this will happen. Press Alt+P and it will show which brushes have the faces on them, then you have to jiggle around the vertices until it's fixed.

Sounds to me like a displacement overflow.

Try hiding sevral faces and see what happens.

Heh... I was actually thinking of.. heh... dropping out... heh...

Turns out a lot of my brushes had way to many faces, and thanks to Kremator I was finally able to get it working again.
