the plan is to have planes as well

well everytime i sit down and try to get some of this done i end up doing something else but i will try this morning to get some done but later today i have to go out.

if im around i should be on irc.edgeirc.net in #q2mess

ok i got some of it done, this will work as a cvar i guess, basically it shrinks down everything except the map!

quick size reference for those whove played my lame test map

now comes the fun part! adding in the vehicles and making a prototype map for this mode, going to skip the vis and rad and basically mesh it out with terrain and vertex shading.

The skins on those players need much more detail. Right now they look awfully bland.

that sounds like my friends Marathon map he made. He's now the creator of machall.

Dunno if you've looked into it but since you seem to be focusing a lot on distance fighting, I'd suggest that using the ironsights zoom in by a certain percentage, to simulate the loss of peripheral vision from focusing. Also this can be made to balance certain weapons, like submachineguns and assault rifles zoom in slightly less than full battlerifles. Hostile Intent does this and it works very well in my opinion.

i like that idea.

Thats pretty cool looking Grim

Julhelm · Post by **Julhelm** » Thu Nov 24, 2005 7:01 pm

While the size is impressive, how do you plan on filling it with detail without choking the engine?

Grim · Post by **Grim** » Thu Nov 24, 2005 8:11 pm

this terrain method doesnt choke the engine in the least.

you can easily place forests and towns using the same method

hey grim do we have to remake the maps so the player model can fix it or do you have a nomal player and a small model???
