Weather files for MP2 Dissolution of Eternity

[talisa]

hey all,

sorry for the silence, i been busy with other stuff then quake recently. but just last night i finally worked some on quake and decided to finally finish ent files for R1M3, and add the missing cynders, and added lava-bursts to the map

once again, theres lots of options included to choose from... fog/red fog, cynders, haze, lavabursts, and any possible combination of those








DOWNLOAD ENT FILES FOR R1M3



PS. i already had R1M4 mostly done except for some effects, and i am struggling a bit with the last lava-pool which has the circling bridge on it, trying to see what to do with the effects here what'll look as good as possible without leaks and stuff, cuz the bridge is really thin i have to fuzz around with using lots of blocks with different settings to prevent leaks of the haze. but once i get it figured out ill release it too


edit:
IMPORTANT NOTE: if you wanna use the versions which have lava-bursts added, be sure to use sevens lava-burst addon for rogue SMC 3.81, which you can find download link to in this post: http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-mod...tml#post118316
otherwise trying to use the ents which include lava eruptions will result in dp quitting to console with an error upon loading the map

Hello splitterface,

I already thought that this thread was doomed
dafx had stopped working on the maps and I thought you would share the same destiny...
Good to see that you continue.

The screenshots look extremely performance hungry, but very nice.
Good to see that you make full use of all available effects.
Even better to see that you create different versions for each individual taste.

Best wishes,
Seven

I think real life gets in the way too. I'm clunking along with the lava bursts for main Quake, but have little time due to "real-life" (Kids) at the moment

Thanks to splitterface!

yeah, the versions with haze do eat some fps, but hey its a real fancy looking effect, so in big areas of lava its of course naturally for it to eat some fps. but it looks totally sweet

and of course im including diff versions, i know not everybody likes all those effects so since i started on rogue i always include lots of versions


and oh no no, of course not, i wouldnt just quit. when i start something i finish it, i dont do half work

[Roy Batty]

Sweet stuff Splitterface, I can't wait until you've completed all the maps xD

[talisa]

thanx roy

hey all,

just a bit ago i sorta finished R1M4. the end is not perfect, but i already used 7effectinfo entries for there. another time ill go back to it, but as for now i call it done. when i have the rest of the maps done ill return to fiddling more with the haze for end of this map







DOWNLOAD EFFECTS FOR R1M4
again like usual with all possible combinations of effects





and while playing a bit i suddenly noticed i completely forgot to add bubbles to the slime-pool of medium entrance of start-map

so i added this missing effect.


and while i was working on start-map i suddenly remembered an effect seven had added once to slipgates which i totally love but had completely forgotten about, rising stars.
so while i was on it i added this effect to start-map too


DOWNLOAD ADDITIONAL BUBBLES & SLIPGATE STARS FOR ROGUE START-MAP

sorry all, but this is just a single ent and a single effectinfo.
these extra effects make for a ton of extra possible combinations, and the list of possible combinations would get to huge

EDIT: oh and of course i added lava-bursts too to startmap

[Roy Batty]

possible to add some smoke/fog to the slip gates like Seven did once too?

also you should make a kind of tutorial for this, I would really dig that, and maybe start to do some editing myself (not these maps tho).

[Seven]

Hello Roy Batty,

The tutorial already exists: click

Regarding the 2 different slipgate effects:
Look into the .ent examples in the "small mod compilation" inside the subfolder:
custom particle+sound effects
You will see the "stars" and "fog" versions in E1M1�s exit-slipgate.

Knowing that you are also very familiar with .ent file modifications, you will see how it works. I documented both alternatives in the effectinfo.txt file.


@ splitterface

Your screenshots lok fantastic !
Keep up the good work.

Seven

[talisa]

thanx seven, glad you like them

and yeah sure, ill make another ent with that slipgate fog effect instead
knew people would start asking about it, lol.
personally im not to much of a fan of it, and like the rising stars a lot more. but sure ill make an ent file with that effect instead of the rising stars roy

and yes i checked how to make the effects in those examples seven provided with the smc

attached a text file i made which you might find very usefull. it contains example blocks of every effect, and short explanations of each line and such
made it myself as a quick way to add effects. its an easy way to add effects, cuz all you have to do is just find the block for which effect you wanna add, and copy and paste it over into the ent and change numbers

[gdiddy62]

I use the file you sent me when I muck about with effects splitterface..try it Roy Batty..it's so addictive!!
Keep up the great stuff splitterface!

[talisa]

thanx gdiddy

btw you might want to take a new copy of the file gdiddy,
i added more effect-examples to the txt since i gave you a copy some time ago

[gdiddy62]

Cool..will do!

[Roy Batty]

Splitterface: thanks for the example file. Also, I meant the fog AND the stars, if that is possible.

Seven: Thanks again, I guess I missed it.

[talisa]

oh yeah sure roy, of course thats possible too, to have both effects

later ill whip up an ent plus effectinfo for you which has both effects
