What's Carp Got Cooking ?

[the Carpenter]

I took a more direct route & rebuilt everything yesterday !
I only missed a few models in the library & a have couple of tex mistakes.
That & my magic doors are gone & I'll have to redo them.
Not bad for a day though !
For some reason though, my r_speeds went up by about 100, almost everywhere.
I didn't null the back faces of anything yet, so that may be the answer.
Perhaps I hadn't turned stuff into func_walls yet in beta 2.
I'll work on that aspect later today.

Still though ... I did really good yesterday !

I have a folder for my bot which I make a copy of every time I wanna change something big, or at least every 2 days workin on it. then I just give it names with increasing numbers at the end ... not the finest way to do this, things like cvs are a lot cooler, but not that easy ... maybe you should consider a similar system, hd space isnt a topic these days I think

i feel you buddy...

ya PMB has it right man... when i lost all my rmfs etc i took a week off and ive been mappin since

[the Carpenter]

I've got it all but finished again.
Compiling as I type.
There were only a few glitches that I could find & fix, so I'm certainly almost done.
Just tweaking the tree, actually.
I will, of course, post pix when it's ready.

Cheers !

p.s. R_speeds went down considerably on the compile where I'd NULLed the back faces of everything touching another surface.
Some where func_walls & others were just world brushes though, so I don't know which one did the magic ! LOL !

Why do I have that strange feeling that I know which cathedral you're alluding to, PMB?

EDIT

Oops, what happened? Did I miss a page or did all you guys post when I was writing? Makes the line above a bit out of context... well, in that case I'll comment the new screenies: 8o
There isn't much more to say, really... great to see you recovered so quickly and came back with a bang! Keep it up!

[the Carpenter]

Can do !
Compiling now ... on what I hope to be the final build.
We'll see ... shortly.

Carp man, you rock.
I love the night ambience in your bar
Can't wait to jump & dive everywhere with a socom in hand



*edit* have you tried changing the sky in this map to buildings, such as lmcity or rdm_un ? these skies are from the default TS maps...
give it a try...
