minideck_v4r4 - lda17h - 09-25-2011
After yet another retexturing round (it does make sense to use a single texture pack for most of the textures) i present to you the umpteenth iteration of minideck

plz let me know of any serious troubles with this version..
EDIT: uploading a new file that has less crud in it..
EDIT2: newest version uploaded. This one I DO consider final ;D
RE: minideck_v4r4 - Maddin - 09-25-2011
There are missing textures.
These round things which pretends sniping are a good idea but they look weird.
The slime is too dark and too opaque.
The teleporter is cheap man, you can do it better!
Missing bot-support.
Some better minor texture alignment here and there.
The map is a real performance killer. VIS-optimize it!
These are all bad things I could remember, anything else is pretty good!

RE: minideck_v4r4 - Maddin - 09-25-2011

RE: minideck_v4r4 - lda17h - 09-25-2011

Looking good, will try it later today.
Some comments/suggestions based on the that screeny:
![[Image: foPPVl.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/foPPVl.jpg)
red: high contrast (darker or lighter then the floor) trim's facing upwards. This helps players spot edges in time and helps visuals too.
blue: variation, cut up/add some different panels to the walls. Variate the size/shape/colour of those pipes a bit. large repeating surfaces and multiple precisely duplicate objects always look off to the human eye.
RE: minideck_v4r4 - lda17h - 09-27-2011
tZork: Thanks for the comments. Is there an easy way to create trims for bevel CAPS? I mean, it's simple enough for normal brushes (one can use the clipper), but I avoided doing trims for the bevels cause the only way way I'd know would be using patch meshes..
RE: minideck_v4r4 - tZork - 09-27-2011
its a bit more tricky indeed. basically you need to create the curved trim part manually (make a new patch, wrangle it into shape in vert edit mode), then take the 'old cap' and re-size it to fit on 'inside' of that new patch. i can make some screenies of how i do it tomorrow if that description is to shady
RE: minideck_v4r4 - nowego4 - 09-27-2011
There's several good examples of this on farewell too.
RE: minideck_v4r4 - lda17h - 09-28-2011
tZork. Nah, that's how I would have done it. I just wondered if there was a simpler way
RE: minideck_v4r4 - tZork - 09-28-2011
no, no real simple way. at least none i know of. otoh since maps tend to use same/similar sized bevel's in many places, its mostly copypasta after the first one.
RE: minideck_v4r4 - Cyber Killer - 05-27-2012
Played on this map yesterday and I find it really awesome. The only problem I had that it was so dark in the corridors that I barely saw what I was walking on (high details). I had to brighten my monitor to play properly. However, when I was rendering a demo into a movie later using the ultra settings it seemed it was ok - strange.
edit:
Scrap that - now I'm watching the movie and it's as dark as it was while I was playing. I need to get darker curtains :-P.
