I'm still working on the lighting, it needs lots of work. As well as the r_speeds (6k+ in some areas). But this is still a pre-beta map. I'll have beta one out some time next week, after finals.

Any ideas on a name?

Post by: u-n33k on March 17, 2009, 06:42:17 AM: Kaos Lair sounds like it could be a good name. How big is the map?

Post by: UDead on March 17, 2009, 07:11:13 AM: Looks good I like where this map is going. like robbie said, the red will be harder to spot and easyer for the red to camp. The name could be something like "The UnderWorld"..."Hell Raising"..."Bottomless Pit"..."Place of Torment", There are some names for you.

Alternatively "KnacK's basement".

Camping won't be a problem. Don't worry. :)

Post by: jitspoe on March 17, 2009, 05:30:41 PM: So this is why you were asking about the warp flag. You could just do some fancy stuff with rscripts and make even cooler lava than warp would ever do. :)
Title: Re: New Map Preview (beta soon - no name yet)
Post by: Zorchenhimer on March 17, 2009, 05:35:22 PM: So I take it that if I were to do the warp animation via rscripts, there would be a significant difference in performance?

Not sure. I wouldn't use warping at all, though. Lava doesn't really warp anyway. It oozes (or gets blasted into the air). But in a situation like you have, it probably wouldn't move at all. What I would do is take your rock layer, make it transparent where the glowing orange/red is, then put another layer under it with either a moving or pulsing orange/red glow.

Hmm, that's an interesting concept. I'll have to see what I can come up with.
