Is this a good start? - Page 2

Mia Max · 03-19-2007, 10:13 PM

I like making videos.

oak man · 03-19-2007, 11:49 PM

Nice user map you got there Mia! It looks a whole lot better in motion than screens!

Ding Bat · 03-22-2007, 01:03 PM

Looks awsome, i like BIG maps. Can't wait for the final game. I would say please hurry, i want to play, but better, "When it's done".

Mia Max · 03-27-2007, 04:04 PM

My hard work on shadows. Looking nearly like real, right?

Steve · 03-27-2007, 05:24 PM

Damn man that's awesome

Boinky · 03-27-2007, 08:40 PM

My only critique is the shadows are bright like a clear blue day.. However the sky is a dark red.. If you want the shadows to be so.. crisp, you might want to look for a new sky. Or add some bright bright lights around

oak man · 03-27-2007, 11:49 PM

I like the dark shadows, add some more lights sources in there, and use lens flares : o)

Hmm, lens flares, good idea! Gimme mod

Sang · 03-29-2007, 09:15 AM

The shadows are in the right place, but the shading values just aren't right. The "bright" areas are too bright (or the shadows are too dark)

Mia Max · 03-29-2007, 02:47 PM

I already tested bright shadows, but it was looking too boring then.
So I decided to give my level a good contrast between dark and bright.

Thedutchjelle · 03-30-2007, 06:57 AM

I like the shadows personally. Though you indeed might want to decrease the brightness of the 'bright' sectors.

Mia Max · 03-30-2007, 11:42 AM

Hmm, maybe I really should change some shading values.

I am using a tft screen and the contrast isn't that good. So, on my screen the shadows don't seem to be too dark.
But I already ordered a valve TV. Hopefully it does better work!

You don't need a mod use the flare sprite when troppers teleport

FXS · 04-01-2007, 02:51 AM

Hello,

Please can you upload a demo of your level.
The screenshot looks very good. I can't watch your Youtube-videos, because the strong Copyprotection (DRM) of Youtube don't alow me to watch the videos. The Copyprotection from Youtube is not compatible with my PC.

bye,
FXS

Thedutchjelle · 04-01-2007, 11:33 AM

Hmm, i must note:

In the 3th screenshot, there is that Yellow/Black stripes thingey -- It's not properly alligned. I hope you understand what i mean :\

Mia Max · 04-06-2007, 06:17 AM

@ FXS: I really want to upload a demo, but I still haven't figured out how to make a mod including my custom stuff - It must contain changed eduke.con, one extra def for textures and sprites, the folder with my textures and sprites and tiles015. - I can upload a zip file including all that stuff if you want, but you will have to install it. ( replace eduke.con, include miamax.def in duke3d.def )

I think the zip file will have between 10 and 20 mb

, I guess I use to large textures

EDIT: Okey, zip file got 16,3 mb

DOWNLOAD: http://files.to/get/417368/26203/miamax_demomap.zip

@ Thedutchjelle: Thanks for your notice.

Telee · 04-07-2007, 11:21 PM

I have to agree with Sang on the shadows - they're a little too dark. I'd recommend just brightening them a little bit.

Other than that, though, great job, they look pretty damn realistic.

Mia Max · 04-08-2007, 12:50 AM

Has anyone downloaded my demomap yet? Please test it.

Thedutchjelle · 04-08-2007, 02:53 AM

Ye sure, if it's playable without the HRP and port i can play it.

Mia Max · 04-08-2007, 03:37 AM

No, it's not playable without hrp.

Thedutchjelle · 04-08-2007, 06:20 AM

Darn that. Well, good luck with it

Telee · 04-08-2007, 10:18 AM

Can you upload it somewhere else? That website requires you to log in.

Sang · 04-08-2007, 10:31 AM

No it doesn't

Telee · 04-08-2007, 06:09 PM

Yes it does

The mirror brings me to a page saying "This website requires you to log in".

Thedutchjelle · 04-09-2007, 02:39 AM

^^ lol at that.

It's the Webmaster Conspiricy.

Sang · 04-09-2007, 04:55 AM

You did go here (http://files.to/get/417368/26203/miamax_demomap.zip) right?

Telee · 04-09-2007, 07:42 AM

Yeah. Still gives me the internet explorer 'Cannot be displayed' page saying I need to log-in to the website.

Works fine for me

Telee · 04-09-2007, 07:49 AM

Hm...

Thedutchjelle · 04-09-2007, 08:40 AM

It's just your computer I guess.

Mia Max · 04-12-2007, 03:28 AM

So, anyone has testet my map?

Sang · 04-12-2007, 04:11 AM

Yeah probably his firewall or some shit.

Telee · 04-14-2007, 12:41 PM

Pretty much all sites just give a message at the bottom of the toolbar saying that the site's attempting to download files. This one is different. I've checked my filewall settings and no luck.

Can someone who can actually download it upload it to somewhere else?

Mr. Pink · 04-14-2007, 01:26 PM

Working here, using latest version of Firefox, standard Windows software firewall (MS), and with Javascript turned off via NoScript.

Served it right up. Had to terminate the d/l because I'm running off of a slow connection, but it was chugging along.

Mia Max · 04-14-2007, 03:14 PM

Okey, another download-link:
http://www.file-upload.net/download-...momap.zip.html
Hopefully this one works for everyone

Mia Max · 04-23-2007, 01:35 AM

Hallo everyone!
I changed some shadow values and added some new.
Now it should look more realistic.

BTW the new HRP is great! I love these new detail textures and glow maps.

Hellbound · 04-23-2007, 04:40 AM

Well, well, that map looks very good!

Geoffrey · 04-23-2007, 04:51 AM

Those shadows are, like, way hot

Telee · 04-23-2007, 05:53 AM

Indeed

Very cool.
