Yeah, actually when I was just checking your access a minute ago I saw that you don't have the access to do this. I can set up a php script you can log into to update the page from a browser.

Alright so if you can't do the models will I just try and shoot for another beta with brush based cars in? I may have to be a bit ruthless and cut out things that aren't particularly 'involved' in the gameplay of the map, the pink caddy for instance, but that can always go back in if I can find a spot. The hummer was totally left out of b3 by accident remember!

So if you can't do models what are you set up to work on?

Deuce and slight you should both have IMs with a link to the latest bsp. There are mistakes all over the shop but at least you can see the layout tweaks and texture improvements.

Some pics of changes:

Looking out from top floor of garage:


Access to 2nd floor of garage via stairs:

And yes the hossies WILL climb them! Woo!

The Storage Reloaded sign is now luminous and much clearer. Plus you can get up on top of this bit via a drainpipe for sniping/camping. As if there weren't enough campspots already...

an opinion i thought of after playing it yesterday:

the camping spot ontop of the lobby entrance i dont think should be accessable that easily. i think by boosting it created the need for more teamwork to get the camp spot. i do like though how its no longer glass top

still no luck getting those files off the computer.

Good point although I'm not sure if it would be boostable with only two ppl as it is...

I added the extension to the garage upper floor today - tis good for snipage I was also contemplating flipping that lobby entrance around so that the door is on the opposite side - that would totally VIS block the lobby from the garage end and should hopefully cut r_speeds. I think I'll try it out and see how much of an improvement it is.

Good Maya or Milkshape? You might want to test the importing process first before you do too much.

Well have you tried importing it into milkshape and making a .mdl? Here is the tutorial for making a model in milkshape from scratch - at the end I think it describes how to scale it properly.

Wow that was quick

Now apparently there is some thing to do with scaling - in the tutorial the guy mentions that the first time he made a model for HL it appeared like 5 stories high in game. Did you have a look through the tut? Any of it making sense?

I have no idea what .smd is about but if you go to the official page you could try these tutorials:

http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/ms3d/tutorials.html

or the forum:

Well obviously I have no clue - I downloaded Milkshape but haven't even installed it

Only thing I can suggest is asking someone on the forum the procedure for going from Maya to Milkshape to .mdl.

Found it:

Q: I get this error: unknown studio command: triangles?

This is the same problem as above, and it has nothing to do with triangles, or faces of your model. This was a text error print out that was handed down by the software company Valve when they originally made the compiler for half-life models. Short of it is: change your image mode to "Indexed" instead of rgb, (sometimes called truecolor, or highcolor). Half Life compiler can only handle 256 indexed color bmps.

Ok it worked but it's tiny (what I expected - either that or massive anyway!) Now you just have to figure out scaling and you're away!

Btw notice that this little fiasco has pushed my post count about 1000! I'm third highest poster on CSR! My life's work is complete

I haven't compiled it - it will look like that tiny little thing you see there. Have you never used the model preview thing in the latest Hammer? I suppose you wouldn't have if you were using quark! Here's another hammer pic except with a player start so you can see the size - your model is the tiny little speck at the centre of the cycler sprite!

ah. cute little bird that is.

on another side note, if the bird appears black, it means that along with the bmp needing to be indexed, it also needs to be by a ration of 16...i just noticed that error message in the log, but it made the model anyway

more importantly, if you do compile the bigger version grounded, i would like to know what is considered the "center" of the model, so i can line it up if needed too.

No change I was looking at that tut again trying to find the bit about scaling. There seems to be something at the end (page 12 or 13) about a $scale thing in the QC file that you need to set? Dunno if you're already doing that or not.

Centre of the model: It looks to me to be the geometric centre.

B4 entity stuff: IM me the idea and I'll tell you tomorrow if it's feasible!

That's it! The wings are still black (the body looks like gold chrome or something) but the bird is 4 times bigger Guess now you just need to find the right scale - so try making the simplest of all the cars (probably slight's volvo or van) and then tomorrow we can tweak it's scale until we get the right proportions

I felt the need to contribute....

I took some time and re-did the pavement textures (not sure if grounded already did)...... The only thing that might need tweaking is the brightness. My monitor is going to die soon, and even with the brightness cranked things are really dark, so that might affect the end result of the texture. Feel free to modify if need be.







and the .tga's can be found in the cs_reloaded/slight/images folder, called ext_pave1.tga, ext_park1.tga, and ext_road1.tga.

enjoy.

Ooh very nice. I've uploaded ext_road2 and ext_pave3 to the same folder pending the same treatment. Could you also take the blank road (ext_pave1.tga) and do a version with yellow stripes across it like a no parking zone? I'm gonna go see what these look like in game

Does this mean you want me to modify them the same way I did pave1, road1 and park1?

Yes please The tarmac itself was a bit light when I tried it so I darkened it by -40 in Photoshop. I'm going to try another compile now to test out a few things so we'll soon see what it looks like.

Hmmm. It still doesn't look right. I think maybe it's a little on the blue side but I'll just keep playing around with the saturation/darkness etc. until I get it right. Oh and I finally put in the water fountain!

Nice..... Drop the saturation a little if you want, but look at a real piece of pavement first.... sun bleached pavement has quite a bit of blue in it.

Any pics of the water fountain?

Well I said I would upload a bsp but I didn't. Man am I heinous.

1) I think I've finally found the right darkness/saturation for the roads.
2) The fountain now works.
3) The projector makes noise.
4) More tex improvements and placement error fixes.

OK....here's the new ones. I based everything off of my base pavement, so whatever modification you had to do to the brightness and saturation you can repeat on all of them and get the same effect.








The .tga's are in my image folder. I hope you like the stripe one....cause that thing was a bitch. You might have to f*ck with it in wally to get the stripes to line up... they are REALLY close, but I didn't have time to get it perfect.... you'll see what I mean.

Enjoy!

You both have careers to fall back on if the mapping and the living in France for no explicable reason things (respectively) fall through.

A career in mapping....I can but dream

slight - when I made a striped one I used Wally's automatic feature which creates lines that match up. Then I copied the image across to PS and just used the yellow lines.

Ok the fountain is really starting to piss me of now. Basically I have the fountain itself is a func_button that triggers a multi_manager. The mm turns on the water and the water sound effect and then turns them off again 2 secs later. Works fine for round 1 but then the water sound starts on instead of off. I added the old 'reset round' trick that targetted a trigger_relay to set the state of the sound effect to off every round but it doesn't work! The weird thing is, I found a forum message with a similar problem and that is the solution... Something is not right.

Interesting...It should remain off when the next round starts. I had a similar problem a while back trying to make a TV that you could blow up, but for some reason it only worked the first round, and then on the second round some of the things that should have reset themselves DIDN'T. I remember that the solution I found used a trigger_changetarget so that I could make one of my triggers point to a 'null' object instead of activating the TV again. I think something similar might work here. You are using a func_door to reset one of the entities on the fountain I assume......

This is from a post that I left on the valve-erc a LONG time ago.... I hope this kind of makes sense...

"Sorry striker, but it's a lot more complicated than that. You need to set up some sort of state checking system so that in the following round, everything comes back to normal. If I remember correctly, func_breakables automatically reset at the end of the round. the problem is, if you shoot the light out, you want it to turn back on next round. so you place a door in your map, and set it's target on close to a MM to turn the light back on right? Wrong. what happens if you don't shoot the light out. now when the next round starts, it is turned back OFF instead of on. Best solution? use a trigger_changetarget in between the door and the lamp. Have it target a trigger_relay. Set the Trigger_relay's target to null. Put a door hidden in your level, and set it's fire on close to the trigger relay. Make your func_breakable target the trigger_changetarget so that when the breakable is broken, it changes the target of the trigger relay to the lamp, (or a MM) so that you can cause the closing door to 'fix' the lamp at the start of the next round. "

Maybe a modified solution using this method will work.. It's still a state-checking feature, so I'd give it a go.

If you need more help, throw the fountain in a room all by itself with all of the entities and then put the .map on the FTP server, and I'll have a look at it. :-)

Don't fret slighty, I solved it I edited the wav to remove it's looping cue point and set the multi_manager to only target it once. With the Not Toggled flag on, it works a treat

New bsp is about to be uploaded for you two to peruse - there are still bugs but it's worth downloading just for the fountain

Oh and you'll also need to download water.zip and put water.wav in the sounds/cs_reloaded/ folder.

Incidentally, are any models going to be done in time or are we just going to have to go with what we have for this edition? I can put basic lamps on those post at minimal poly expense but the closer we can get to a final the better

Some new stuff. Hopefully I should have a final edition to be tested before releasing the download URL by tonight. With either of you be on to try it out with me? If not I'm sure I could rope SG or Terraji or someone in...they're always on

I thought we deserved an award

Did you make this or is it a tutorial thing from somewhere? Btw as is probably obvious from the screenie, the car is like 1/4 scale or something.











Will someone IM me the connection info the ftp again since I'm on JB's comp please? I had to use my useless space again.

thats the basic model to work from in HL Rally. I was curious as to how the textures looked compiled.

how much more detail do you want for the cars beyond this model?

Not much. Like I said, we basically just need the brush-based cars/vans replicated in mdls - and they're not particularly detailed as it is. If you want to add a bit more detail that's fine too, but don't give yourself too much extra work!

just to show that i made some progress, i started fooling around with some textures. i also downloaded half life viewer so i could check the models out myself (duh!).

my next step is to make a car from scratch now in Maya, now that i am getting the hang of this.

Try doing something small - like the brush lights I have on the gate posts at the moment. Then the textures will have to fit!

OK.....

I spent a good deal of time running around b4 like a chicken with my head cut off with gl_wireframe 2 on looking for areas of face splitting and places where hint brushes might help.

There are a number of images on the FTP server in the cs_reloaded/b4_screens folder that illustrate some of the things that I will mention here.

First off......stairs. Most of the stairs in b4 are causing bad face splits in the walls. This best example is below:



This is pretty bad, and this one set of stairs is responsible for (I'm guessing) an additional 30 or 40 w_poly itself. This staircase is visible from about 60% of the map, so preventing these splits would go a long ways to helping r_speeds. There are 4 or 5 other example pics in the folder of just stairs. The best method I have found to eliminate face splitting from stairs is to place a ramp below the stairs, and turn the stairs themselves into triangles, and then make those triangles func_walls. I have done this in the lobby (see next pic), however the triangles are not func_walls, and face splitting is still occuring.



If you look to the left side of the map, you'll see what I mean about a ramp with triangles on it. Look to the right side, and you'll see that face splitting still occurs because the triangles are world brushes. Func_wall those bad boys and the splitting will be gone.

The lobby is one place where alot of r_speed reduction can be done. I had not done any work to r_Speed reduction when I first worked on the lobby, other than to func_wall some objects that were obvious. The pillars are causing face splitting in the floor, as is the desk. Lift the desk a half unit off the floor, and func_wall those pillars, fix the stairs and I bet we can knock 50 to 80 w_poly off that room easy. There are pics of the lobby on the server.

The garage is another place where splitting is happening pretty bad. The floor and ceiling are both being split by the pillars and lights that run the length of the room (see below).



The most elegant solution is to func_wall the upper and lower sections of the pillars (where they appear to be boxed in), and to lower the lights just slightly so that they don't split.

I only found one place that was a candidate for hint brushes, but it would be hardly worth the effort (or the extra vis_blocks caused by it). If you really want to give it a try then I'm game, but I'll leave it up to you.

I would be happy to do some of the r_speed reduction work, if you wouldn't mind uploading the most recent .map (or .rmf, if I have to boot to windows then I guess I have to). Give me a day or 2 to work on the changes.

I think there is much room to work with....and I think we can cut r_speeds by a lot. Some of those 1000 w_poly areas may be down closer to 800 by the time all is said and done.

i too myself did some heavy work (mind you it was only mental thinking work), and i think i might have found an easy solution to the car model problem..the only bad side about it though is that it would all be based on that basic car model..and variation of the car would be based on textures and additional small items that could be added on later.

I will test my theory out and report once i am done.

hey hey...it worked! i created a texture template for the cars so all i need to do is model the texture to fit the template, and it will look right on the car  (nevermind the bumper right now..i need to recompile the model to make the bumper separate)

so..i know slight is gonna try making a few car models in blender..if that works out too, maybe we can have a combination of both of our cars in there for variation.

So does gl_wireframe 2 draw the polys that are seen by the engine? I think I always used wireframe 1 which just outlines them and doesn't show polys round corners or behind walls.

Anyway, there are some sticking points with your suggested revisions (cause on the face of it they look like being a big help).

1) The stairs were mostly func_walls before however the hostages refused to climb them and so they were turned back into world brushes. I have no idea why hostages won't climb certain func_walled stairs - in one of your other pics on the ftp server you can actually see one set of stairs that IS func_walled and the hossies will climb it fine

2) I made the pillar tops func_walls in a previous revision however this resulted in some dodgy looking shadows above them. I suppose that could be corrected with some faint point lights but then we come to problem 3...

3) ...too many ents. Remember I ran out of entities not long ago and have been trying to economise on func_walls. One thing I started but didn't completely finish was making the lights all solid and moving them 1 unit away from the wall. It works and is unnoticeable in most areas so far but there are still a lot of ents in the map and that in itself is not so good (something to do with server load as I understand it).

4) Uploading the map/rmf. I can do that but I don't have the latest wad on this computer and I'm not sure if I can transfer it across yet. Thus we would be unable to compile the map unless we switched some of the textures for a test compile.

I do think we should try and implement all these changes but I'm just mentioning that it may end up being a lot harder than you thought! The hossies are really quite particular about stairs for some inexplicable reason - remember that the stairs near the two Storage Reloaded vans were changed into a flat slope because I couldn't convince the hossies to climb them no matter what I did. Incidentally, if either of you feels so inclined, we could do with some replacement cab textures for those vans. slight's original ones look a little 'space age' but more importantly they needed the cab to be all curvy to fit them. If we can make the cabs more boxy then we can save a few more polys there too.

I'll try and set my messed up comp back up later today and extract the necessary files in Safe Mode. It might not work but even if it doesn't there are tools to extract textures from a bsp plus we have a pretty recent wad zip on the ftp.

The rmf source is on the ftp server now as cs_reloaded_b4_68.zip.

As promised, I transferred the two updated wads to this comp. Now if you guys want to look at the source on your comps you'll need to download the last backup (uber_backup.zip) which has all the necessary wads and then replace van.wad and csr_eggs.wad with the files from updated_wads.zip.

OK.... we have good news and we have bad news. The good news is that I have been able to shave off some polys by reducing face splitting and by using some hint brushes. The bad news is that even with these savings some parts of the map are always going to be high, unless some major modifications are made.

Example:





The top image is from the last playtest, the bottom image is a compile with my enhancements. As you can see, with some tweaks and hint brushes I was able to shave off over 70 polys from this view (1086 to 1012). If you look closely at the blue circles you can see the differences that the hint brushes made. However, this area is still at or near 1000, and that's about 200 w_poly higher than we would like.

I only used hint brushes in this area so far. I can go ahead and try to treat the rest of the map and see if I can lower some of the problem areas, but even with 60 -80 w_poly savings (or more), those areas are still going to be pretty high. Hint brushes are nice, but the probelm with cs_reloaded is more in it's design, and that can't be cured with hint brushes. In most circumstances you aren't going to see more than maybe 100 w_poly savings at best, depending on the situation.

Let me know how you want me to proceed.

Some things that can be done:

1) The cabs of those two trucks look to be at about 25 poly each at the moment when really they should be like 9. That can be fixed. By changing the shape of the cab we can also change the front pair of wheels to trapezoidal instead of hexagonal

2) The brick lip around the grass can be lowered so that it is flush with the grass. This can also be done at the other curving road.

3) The exterior lights that are not func_walls can be made so - or sliced one unit away from the walls. This might end up with slightly weird looking lighting effects. You could possibly try making them func_walls but turning their light opacity on (ZHLT only I think).

4) We can make the skylight into a world brush with a dark glass texture which is then set to gently emit light. As pretty as it is, I don't think it's really that useful tactically i.e. for grenades. This is probably the most severe option but judging by those pics it should chop a great chunk off the speeds. I definitely think the skylight is necessary to make the building look a bit less flat.

5) There is probably about 10-15 poly in that view that can be saved with NULLing but it would require a little messing about with a bit of the brushwork that would be hard to explain. I think NULL should be just about the final thing we do to completely optimise the map.

You can try any and all of 1-4 if you like, in whichever order. And if you don't want to do it, upload the rmf of your modifications

I know the design does not lend itself well to low speeds - what can I say, I like big open areas and HL doesn't! Where's the challenge in making a claustrophic map that's packed with details when you can work hard to try and have a nice big open map?

If that's a modification of yesterday's one (which it looks like) then the size is 2.65 I think. I'll check them in a little while.

<Obligatory post to say "hey! whats a map?">


No but to be serious  I am all too happy to do some plans for a new map me and Deuce discussed a long time ago. Finished my degree now, so I'm free (at least until I get a job!  )

I'll post up my idea in this thread shall I? I'll do a .jpg to describe it properly rather than relying on text to show you what its about.

Model #2 / 3 - paper trash models

each model is editable in model viewer, as each paper uses a different texture (currently all of them are the same)

the difference between the models is the paper placement and different bends in the paper

You have to love those maps with both hostages and bombs. Or maps that are cs_maps that don't have any hostages. There are some really awful maps out there. Case in point de_gastation (i think thats what its called) and cs_blackhawkdown. Awful maps.

The idea of having hossies and a bomb is new to me but it sounds kinda fun.  Could you do something like have most of the T's start at the hossies but one T starts somewhere else with the bomb.

The idea would be that the T's have to plant the bomb to have ANY chance of winning (except killing all CT's obviously).  The bomb site(s) would be near the hossies because obviously they need to be in threat of being bombed.  The one T who starts on his own would need to try to get to his mates and the bomb site/hossies as fast as possible.

The CT's have two choices A) try to intercept the lone T before he can get to his mates.  OR B) Go straight for the hossies.

The map should be balanced such that if the T's rush back towards their loner to help him get to the bomb site then they run the risk of the CT's being able to save the hossies before they get back - provided the CT's are fast enough and havent also made the choice to go for the lone T as well.

If the T's can then get the bomb to the bombsite without the hossies getting nicked from under their noses the they would have the usual advantage and the CT's would generally try to decide to disarm the bomb - but if the numbers were low 1v1 on 2v2 then they could maybe try and rescue the hossies before the bomb goes off if they felt the bomb was being camped well.

Obviously this may be very hard to get right in terms of balance. And obviously the hossies and bombsite(s) would have to be divided enough to allow various possible variations of play but close enough to keep it focussed.

If the balance can be reached then I think this may give a really diverse map - but the big things to watch out for are that its too easy for the CT's to either get into the hossies and rescue them even if the T's chose to stay there in the first place.  Or if is too easy for the CT's to get to the bomb guy and camp the bomb - then you just end up wth a big campfest and no real effort to complete objectives by either team.  But if its too easy for the bomb T to get to the site on his own even if he recieves no help from his team AND the CT's have tried to target him specifically then the map will effectively be a straight forward de_ map.

Basically the balance all revolves round the choices the teams make - make the right one and you could win really easilly if the other team make the wrong choice.  But if they counter each other correcty then there are pleanty of options for how the objectives can be completed.

Anyway just an idea - and probably not a very well thought out one - but you never know it might spark a better idea in the minds of those creative types

I've been involved in some in depth, drawn out discussions about trying to create new objectives within CS. It's not really possible, sadly.

I'm tempted to suggest we make this a VIP map but retain the name cs_reloaded...

I'd have to agree that the VIP idea would be cool.  As it is, cs_reloaded is basically a VIP map anyway, just noone actually gets to be in complete controll of the VIP.

Hmmm..... I think I do somewhere.... just where exactly I'm not sure.

I was waiting to do all of the optimizations until you guys have all the other stuff done. No sense in optimizing if the layout is going to go through major changes.
