the first tree just needs to be pointed at the top instead of split
btw will these trees make fps go down?

Probably. More polygons, less fps.

The alpha blending, or more specifically, the overdraw, usually hurts the framerate more than the polygons. Of course, that all depends on your video card, resolution, CPU, etc. as to what the bottleneck is.

Very nice trees. I just had a go at Barista too, and it has some nifty features. How easy would it be to port some of them to Paintball2? (Waves, a torch, trees).

Cant torches be done already with rscripts?

Yeah they have them in Anubis.

The example in the 3. post will show you how to make the torches in bsp, if you need them. You can find the "flame" script in your scripts folder.

I actually meant electric torches rather than flaming.

Oh you're british then i see you meant flashlights right?

Well, sometimes we say flashlights over here, but mainly torches...

No. He means torches.

Well what's an electric torch then?

Fred187 · « **Reply #52 on:** August 03, 2007, 02:57:56 AM »

No, it's the same as a flashlight. Could they be done though?

jitspoe · « **Reply #53 on:** August 03, 2007, 03:34:30 PM »

Not very well. The engine isn't designed for dynamic lights.

Major revive, maybe it'll be worth it?

As many of you know, I strive to make the game look better, yada yada yada...

Here is the result of a months worth of work. I've learned to 3D model, I hate UV mapping, I've thrown my mouse at the wall twice... etc.

You get the point.

But alas, I present to you My First Tree.

Enjoy the pics and the source zip.

I'll be making plenty more as time permits, and be forewarned: the future ones will look 'cleaner' and 'prettier' this is just a proof of concept... I didn't even photosource the texture

edit: for those of you who are confused about this... this is a model, that is ready to be used in a map.

included:
-compiled models (.3ds, .smd, .skm)
-compiled map
-texture

-uncompiled models (.blend and .wings)
-uncompiled map (.map)

can you explain to us (me) where to put these for the game and for the mappers.
