I did some work on glycen, so you can actually use HDR on the map and no idea who exactly I should give this to so ima just post it here and one of the Devs can put it into the SVN. I should have duststorm ready to go shortly -changed snow textures, easier to see with HDR on -added new blends for snows -increased fog distance, gentler blend -optimized the geometry and hint planes -added a particle effect entity on a 60 second cycle, so if Empty wants he can just make particle effects and they will work immediately. Currently though there are no particle effects actually added in the map. -Made HDR not rape the map. -took down the tickets by 1000 to shorten game time. -restricted turrets to lvl 1 Click to Download
Without it the snow is just a featureless surface of nothing specially with hdr I wasn't really trying to give glycen a make over I was tring to make it where players can play empires in hdr without having maps Jack it up. I just happened to add new blening snow and optimize in the process
Can you limit turrets to lvl 2? I like it more when it's infantry vs infantry + shitty tanks instead of infantry + cover vs raping mgs.
I'd even prefer lvl 1 MGs. Lvl 2's don't do as much damage, but still have a very large range. Lvl 2 ML's would be nice, though :p
This map has horrible fps for me and much lower than an average map to everyone else I was talking to in the server tonight, someone said it was prolly the (falling)snow? Get rid of that shit if that's the case. Cause it even falls thru roofs and into buildings your in so it's really not that great looking specially for what it does to my fps. I mean I had a max of 10fps the entire round then nextmap I goto Isle and have 40 the entire round. Another weird thing was it seemed as tho the whole lighting would change. I think I noticed it change 3 times like as if the sun was going down or something like that... It's not a bad map but compared to the older one this one really needs to be optimized or take out the unnecessary stuff like the snow.
hdr is more then just the bloom the bloom is annoying at times, but thats not all hdr has to offer, probably when you disable it you will go all "ewww this map suddenly is ugly"
