Shadows on the lower level are rather absent taking into account the main light source. Still, with the version I'm working with the lack of shadows is less apparent.

Yep please, post a pic where you get stuck. I already fix 2 places so it's maybe one of them ?

Your FPS is rather low... I got a minimum of 75 to ±224 ?

Happy you like it dude.

hey mates just a detail? what resolution do u use? the same?.....:p

LOL. the gerbils running my PC are giving me 1280 1024

Look above 5 posts this bot got stuck only thing that fixes the problem is shooting him plus they sometimes just stand doing nothing on mine that is.

I've been able to add some nice effect while dying with the ppvolume

I wanted to THX both Éric & Lord for the idea, it turn out really great & fit's damn well !

A chance your there folks

Happy to help out a mate!!
Looking forward to seeing what you've come up with!

It's the kind of effect I was searching for. But the possibility are endless !!! I don't know if your gonna recognize the spots but I have 50% done héhé :

THX for the feedback mate :)

For a quick answer to some suggestions of yours :

pic1 - In the contrary as you, I do like it or else that material wouldn't be there. I saw that on floors or walls depending on maps. Still, it's the best one I could see to fit on there. Did you notice that every floor on this map as is own floor material ? The only thing that bugs me is the tiling of that material. I wiould prefer to make the floor less "flat" instead but I don't know how to do that, any idea ?

pic2- That area will be accessible & you will die ;)

pic3- The mesh aren't casting shadows but I will look into that to see if it can be better.

pic4- Yeah, like you I found the fruit material very ugly, still it brings some colors & there is only 3 them in the map which 1 is out of the play area. I'll check if I can make the material look better.

pic5- I don't agreed on this but it's apersonal taste.

pic6- In fact it was bigger before I release B1. But I didn't like it. I must say the actual version I'm playing with it is less bright so I think the size of the sun fit more with the general brightness. But I'll play with the size again to see what are the results with the rest of the map. For flying stuff or stuff floating on water, I thought of that but I have no idea how to do that, any tuts your aware of ???

pic7- It's already used on ±75% of the upper floor.

For others suggestions,

Indeed trims are planned, specially at the bottom of the udamage pool & elsewhere.

The brick material is the stock one, only thing I add is the moist on it. I understand what you mean about removing the black spots on them but I simply can't because the dark spots are in the stock texture & my material knowledge is to basic at this point.

The lantern is the one that fit's the most, trust me, I check ALL stock light fixtures. again, it's a personal preference. I do like the idea of using torches. The thing is there is no stock mesh for the torche fixture & also, that will implies I use more emitters for the fire & that include lower FPS. Also to be nice I would make some pointlight dim brighter which involve some work in kismet, another aspect I'm perfectly a noob. I'm not saying I won't use them but if I do, it will be for the night version.

Yep, I know for the wood material that as some dark spots on it depending on the mesh it is applied. Again, there is nothing I can do about it since it's the way the stock material on the mesh. TBH, I already look into that but I didn't succed of making look better :(

THX for your feedback mate, very usefull :D

Sounds great, would love it if you could show some screenshots!

Both!

Hope you like it at least a bit...

So you like the brick after all, it's good then :D

But about the lighting, any suggestion ?

For the flare, there is many more but since it's static you can't see. In fact it's at least twice as more. I put smaller emitter at the bottom & another one a bit bigger a bit higher so it's very nice but with a static pic... you can't see that.

Damn you post at 6:29 AM !!!

Good night mate & thx for the suggestion :)

THX m8 :D

No wonder why I change or try to enhance the stock assets most of the time, they lack something.

Well, I reduce those flies a bit, they have no choice, I show them my RAID bottle lol

Feeling sleepy, it's 4:35 AM here...

Good day all :D

The lighting on the latest build definately looks a lot better IMO!
Nice job M8!

Thats some really good improvements, I'm looking forward to playing it!

Okay dudes,

There is something that annoy me about this building, it's the lowest floor where you see the black windows trim.

I'm out of imagination & it's the thing that slow me down to release RC1. I'm open to any suggestion if you have some. Some kind of pattern to guide me because it's the lower part that I don't like, it's to much "naked" & need more shape & contrast.

How about using a couple of the Ibeams from HU_Supports. I think thats the package.

THX for the suggestions dudes.

It's not the material that bother me but rather the shape.

I already use some beams from the HU package in various spots but it's the shape to use which I'm block now. I mean, what would be the best fit ;

- Some arched support shape under the second floor at the exterior of the building ?
- Some square shaped beam placed in "X" on the walls ?

Those kind of things :)

Another question :

Is someone know to rotate a texture ???

I just found kickass wood textures but I need to rotate the texture & I didn't succed yet while playing with the rotator & panner expression, I also check on hourence site.

Any hint ?
