Hi! I decided to create a new thread about my map - NYC - I'm still working on. This map will probably be the largest map ever made for Sauerbraten. I will post new screenshots here. Feel free to comment.

Nice map, but I've got a nasty feeling it's going to take ~1/2 hour to load >_<.

OMG THATS AWESOME!!!!!! u should use the spiderman 2 game on the xbox for reference to help u make the city. but dam ur good! u have such detail in the city, and its huuuuuge! but if i were u i would put some teleporters in buildings or somethin so u can get around easier. NO, WAIT!!!! MAKE A SUBWAY SYSTEM!!!! at the bottom of the subway stairs u could put teleporters that take u around the city! it would be sweeeeeeeet! and make some way that u could get ontop of some buildings! then u could snipe and stuff! it would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!

by GibsonSGKing on 03/29/2008 19:18

AWESOME IDEA!!!!!!! idk if this is even possible, but u should make it so that the city goes from night to day and back at an advanced rate, that way it would go through, hmmmm idk, 2 days on average for every deathmatch game or somethin. just a thought =D

Take it easy there GibsonSGKing!

You just made my head spin!

Also to your game idea from the city going to day-to-night kind of thing, I doubt the engine can do that, but tou can add spin to skyboxes so they look like their spining.

To the subway system,

That would be nice, but the map is so big, I really don't know about it!

You would have to have some crazy number of skyboxes and lightmaps to do a day night cycle well. There is no dynamic lighting system in sauerbraten that could handle the entire map. And with very large maps, loading a new lightmaps every minute is not really that great.


For a good subway system, a set of "dynamic" teleporters and teledests would probably have to be implemented. If a teleporter only goes to one other spot, it would be very complicated to actually get around the city. It would be much better to have a pop up menu with a list of possible destinations that a user can then select from. But that is not easy to put into action.

Using teleports as a kind of a very simplified way of imitating a subway network sounds quite fun! I like it.

I like the idea of teleporters too. Instead of a menu, you could just have a row of teleporters with signs that say where each one goes.

You know, teleporters is really good idea, but also you can make simulation of railroad by making some operations on one cube

by dkjhfkjsdconrofhdjsk on 04/04/2008 15:34

I think a big map would be cool. It would provide a lot of roaming around. It could also be a good SP map.
