I think it's map-pack time again. New midbridge is out, seems about time to pack everything together and do another release. Just wanna make sure nothing is going to come out any time soon.
i'd say 2 weeks for me, but dont' count on it too much, lets just say that next weekend is the dead line for map releases and after that give it a few months before you do another big release, i'll talk to you some more on steam.
ha, drummer....2 weeks.....hahahahaha. dont worry trickster you can just go ahead and times that 2 weeks by 52 to get your answer.
2islands is coming along...... 2-3 days at the most give or take.... I just found myself re-designing the bridge.... >.>
uhm yeh and i might also come up with a very small map that probably only works in 1on1s or 2on2s at a max. i just gotta make it moar pretteh and make a minimap ... a few playtests would be nice too, but since some guys like 1on1s anyway, im sure they will help playtest. all i actually wanted to do is play around with lighting and this is the result.
Wow, flasche. I am impressed. The first map looks pretty good, but the second map you're showing looks pretty awesome.
youll get the first one today (its a tiny map, prolly only good for 1on1 or squad vs squad), dont bother waiting for the other one, its prolly gonna take some time
I have awesome ideas for maps. In my head they're epic. I was going to try and make one but valve completely fucked hammer so I can't be screwed.
Emp_glacial's spiritual successor, emp_varbles, will be released soon if I can figure out what to do with these damn shadows.
make all those props the same shadow group by using brushes or if the model entity supports it (some do cant be bothered to check if models do) also i have like 4 or 5 maps up to 80+% finished but cant be bothered to finish them because hammer is bugged atm and dont even have enough time for scripting atm
By "bugged" do you mean that the screens fuck up and shit turns black randomly? If you want I can upload the original (pre-patch) hammer files for you. It fixes all the problems - but you don't get the new tools (like 'carve'). //EDIT I uploaded it anyway: Here.
you don't need to do that, just use the 2007 version of source sdk you'll have to set hammer up for EMpires again, but it works, no need to pre-patch
