I got bored. It shows. I got so bored I made a map.

RavePaint! (Reed, Dagless and Lekky will understand this.)
It's dodgeball in a rave club! Features new textures, some music loops and a jail!

The map can't really be seen in a screenshot, but here is one anyway:

MAP IS RENAMED RAVEPAINT 17/2/08

w00000000t!!!!!!
That was so intense!!!!!
I really liked it, and the feel, it was simple, had a great speaker texture, and the music was a good choice.

Only problem is the immense frame rate drop around the smoking light/speaker set. I had mid 20s at some points around that area, if its not necessary to the map, i would remove the smoke. Otherwise, creative map.

More frame-rape than frame rate :-(
I'll make the smoke less frequent for the next beta to see if that solves it.

I forgot to say: THANKS TO S8N FOR SPEAKER TEXTURE

haha nice one Viciouz!

Though I think ASBO's are more closely related to Bassline and Niche music though (being from Sheffield, this is sadly all too obvious)!

Love the speakers - try and fiddle the target_speaker attenuation values and that so the sound is always there (instead of a dead spot in the middle of the dancefloor).

BRRAAP!

Vic and I "play tested" the map today and I gave him some ideas for fixing the dead spots.

I want to add some light fog to give the impression of the smoke from the smoke machines, but it always comes out too dense.. Is there a key that controls the density/distance of the fog?

Looks nice, but it needs a little bit more colorful lights.

If you want it everywhere. But not like you have it.

its waaaaaay too clean, add some Red Stripe cans on the floor, and some glowsticks, and make it smell of weed.

gl_dynamic 0 should fix the framerate issues on crappy video cards, but it also removes the flashing lights. Since the textures are scaled down, the lightmaps are really high-res, causing severe hits when the texture is uploaded repeatedly to change with the lights.

A couple things on the map:

- That ceiling texture either needs to be rotated or changed completely - it looks weird how it's at a different angle than the walls.
- When making textures, be sure to use a jpeg quality of 96 or higher. I can see the artifacts in those speaker textures.

Fog can be controlled. Take a look at the readme file - search for fogd.

Fog that covers the entire map can be controlled, yes, but can fog that of a smoke grenade be controlled?

What's needed is to be able to define fogged and non-fogged regions.

It's not really that simple, but this isn't the thread to discuss it in.

I'm aware that it's not simple, but it would allow for cool outdoor/indoor maps. ;3

If you've ever seen a nightclub or conecert hall after everyone has left, the air is often filled with light smoke, that's what I'm doing with the fog.

Not any more ViciouZ

The smoke machines, not the people, lekky

*bump da lump*

Seeing as Dagless thinks the music is wrong, I have prepared a selection of clips:

Which one would you like for the map, and which for the jail?
