Possible Delay

[CrazyMonkeyDude]

That first thing was more my opinion than yours(except for the you suck thing, I was just kidding)

I've had some pretty creative ideas come out of nowhere, maybe I can think of something to help.

Here's my suggestion. Make transition between maps less random flat black walls and to not end into oblivious skybox-topia, but more like they're going into another area (Like the trans between Daragoth and Lowlands)

I like that idea alot, seen it done in a few places and the effect is nice.

I like the one to Keledros :3

Squirrel and I always plan "real transitions" for our maps ;-) (You can see them in foutpost!...but not Bloodrose...Lazy, lazy Squirrel...)

Waste of poly's.

 

[The Man In Black]

Yes, but remember, this is me. If the map doesn't look good, I'd rather not see it out, and I DO have the ability to poke Squirrel into adding them if he doesn't want to (which he does, anyway)

>_>

Maps that make Hercules shit his pants FTL.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Waste of poly's.

So you'd rather have transitions that look like total garbage, such as... well about 95% of all the transitions in this game?

Yup. If it gets the map out quicker. Don't waste time and map performance on aesthetic bullsh*t that the only time you see, yer leaving the map. (Spent more time on the Daragoth->Lowlands trans than I should have myself).

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

That's like saying:
"Remove all ceilings, because nobody looks at them anyway."

If somebody is making a quality map, he/she can take the extra hour or two to create a decent transition for it, rather than a black/skybox hole.

 

[HomestarR]

Bad analogy. Ceilings don't affect you unless they are made of asbestos.

 

[Thothie]

Ceilings are everywhere (assuming indoor map) - transitions are in corners you never go to more than once.

Playability > Quality
Getting map done > Quality

It's freaking HL1 - it's all about the playability - if ya wan't pretty graphics instead, go work on Source.

 

[villager]

STFU, good point.

 

[Shadeska]

That also happens to be why everyone likes source...

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot about the gravy-gun. [sic] (Dang spell-check nazis)

 

[villager]

STFU, bad point.

 

[Sabre]

STFU, bad point.

STFU PROS AND CONS OF SOURCE WERE ON GROUND

Well u can get pretty good graphics in hl1, If u make nice architecture, lights etc, the source engine is crappy, thats my thought. And I find it very hard to map in source and its much more boring than mapping for hl1 engine

I dont liek source engine at all! anyone with me?

 

[WeissberV]

Source engine is way better obv, the gravity gun could be reskinned for a telekenisis spell

 

[Shadeska]

I like em both! I just like creating conflict, it's fun. But I think we're all forgetting the REAL winner here...MS:C is teh w1n Z0MG55!!!11!1 no matter which engine we put it on!

Oh yeah, topic is getting drift out of subject.
