@ceriux, really? what has baker been up to lately? he really needs to post something in this thread!

Another brushwork offcut, a door to nowhere!

[ceriux]

sock i love your brushwork on all the castle like structures you do. baker is working on a system that allows you to travel back and forth between map while saving data on entities. so when you go back its like you have already been there. someone called it a hub system.

That looks lovely. What are you doing for the lighting? Do you just add a bunch of point lights?

[ajay]

That's awesome sock. Did you use a terrain generator for the 'cliff'/rockface or did you do it 'by hand'?

@ceriux, that is an interesting idea, I hope Baker finds the time to implement it. I always liked the hub system of early games like Hexen and HL and with some nice custom maps it could really be fun to play with.

@jitspoe, I am using regular lights with high diffuse values. I also use a slight fog (matched to the sky) to create a nice ambient glow at distance.
@ajay, I built the cliffs by hand, very quick and easy to create. I wrote various on how it works. I have plenty of example on my site you can download to see how it is done. (source files included)

Fte supports hub maps.
I was using them for my defunct quakelands mod.

Yeah and that would turn ITS into something horribly engine dependent... there's a way for hub-ish behavior by clever FRIK_FILE though, and plenty of engines support that extension.

[Spike]

you can get hub-ish behaviour via using serverflags too, which might make more sense than all the entities spontaneously freezing... but yeah, frik_file does at least give full control over stuff like that, even if its a lot of work.

@R00k, I like the idea of the zombies from bodies but why is the gun glowing when they hit you? Do you have an objective planned for the zombies? I really hope you create unique levels for your mod. What do you plan to do with the non-humanoid monster types?
