HAZMAT

Well you'll probably get out sooner than I will. I was surprised too when I found out. |-|\/|

I went to run my map today to test the respawn room I made. Hammer froze while compiling. So I think I'm done for now. IN OTHER NEWS Premier perks are still on. I WILL be getting PMship soon. It's my birthday this Friday. I don't wanna grow up! School starts Monday. I don't wanna go! |-|\/|

|-|\/|

You and I both. I should be able to finish it in time, as long as I work on it frequently. |-|\/|

Teehee. |-|\/|

Earlier today, I made an entry about the progress of my Graduation Project. Well I worked a little more, and most of the mapping is done. As you can see in this picture, all 5 spires containing the control points are done. I also added the bridges connecting the spires, as well as some stuff to the middle point (which can be seen in the picture). Let's see, what do I have to do yet... -Make the control points. So far all that's there is the model, I need to add the "programming" bits for it to actually be a real point. -The respawn rooms. -Add ammo and health pick-ups. -Do the texturing. -Make cliffs surrounding the area, add water, make the skybox. -Figure out how to use ctf_sawmill's rain effects and splash effect. -Add lights. -Add environmental noises, maybe. It seems like I got a lot done, and yet there's still so much left to do. |-|\/|

By a blaster shot, too. I agree, Grievous died way too quick. |-|\/|

My Graduation Project is coming along nicely, so I thought I'd share some pics of it. Top-down view of the final capture point 3 control points done View of the map from atop the final point (in-game screenshot) Some notes: -The map is going to be a 5-pont CP map, like Granary and Fastlane. -Those aren't the final textures, they're placeholders. Also, it's not gonna have the gray walls (that you see in the 3rd pic), they're just there to seal the map so I could test it. -The purple squares are the control points. -The middle point isn't actually done yet. It's way too empty and large there so I need to add some things, like the blocks on the 2nd point (white boxes in 3rd pic). -I'm probably going to add bridges connecting each spire, so you don't have to go all the way to the bottom to get from one to another. Um, I guess that's it for now. I'll make more blog posts as the map progresses when I go Premier. |-|\/|

Yeah, it is pretty really confusing at first. BUT AAAHHHH I just found a mistake. My last mistake I made took 10 minutes to fix. I just hope it turns out as cool as it is in my head. Cuz it's really cool. Now let's just hope I can map it as good as I hope. |-|\/|

It's gonna be a 5-point CP map like Granary and Fastlane, and each point is gonna be on a mountain/spire/hill/fort thing. I really don't know what to call them. Here's a top-down view of the final cap point. Orange is flat ground, gray are ramps, the purple box is the cap point. (Those aren't gonna be the final textures, I'm just using them as placeholders so I can differentiate different parts.) I'll get some other pics up sometime soon so you can see it better. That's the only one I have on-hand. |-|\/|

OMG thank you for posting about this now I will never need to get rid of my blog!!1! *pushes button* |-|\/|

92% of statistics are made up. |-|\/|

Whenever I post in a New Member's topic it seems like I get a friend request from them... ;; |-|\/|

xD Yeah, well my family isn't as crazy about pizza as I am, so I rarely get any. |-|\/|

Thank ya', kind sir. |-|\/|

I really want pizza. Like, a lot. |-|\/|

Like Science Fair in 8th grade. ;; But I started it and am making good process, so once I get close to finishing, I'll wait til the last possible moment to finish it. |-|\/|

No thanks. |-|\/|

That is the greatest thing ever. |-|\/|

You didn't miss much, considering the forums where down for a month. Welcome back. |-|\/|

Yes. But that seems to be fine with him. |-|\/|

AudioSurf is a great way to discover great bands. MMO was on a week or two ago, and I enjoyed their songs. Going to their site revealed they had 18 free songs out. I downloaded them all. |-|\/|
