#142: Free-Floating Bars?

by jsHcKv2 on 05/26/2002 16:58

No matter how hard I try, I can't figure out what good free-floating bars would be in a Cube map.

Babel Fish German
Egal wie stark ich versuche, kann ich nicht aus, was guten frei-sich hin- und herbewegenden Stäben darstellen in einem Cube Diagramm sein würden.

Babel Fish French
N'importe comment dur j'essaye, je ne peux pas figurer hors de quelles bonnes barres libre-flottantes seraient dans une carte de Cube.

gebe einfach den befehl "waterlevel 0" ein. wenn du kein wasser siehst, probier eine hoehere nummer, wenn das wasser zu hoch ist, eine niedrigere (also z.b. waterlevel 10 bzw. -10),
bis du einen guten Wert gefunden hast.

#146: if I really understood how the engine works...

The most processor efficient way of lighting up a map would be to have lots of lights of the same brightness, so that it looks very diffuse, right?

No, it's very important. On my first attempt at lighting the beach in Casper's Bay I made the wqd go from 3000 fullbright to over 8000. And I know that wqd isn't everything but it's all I know so leave me alone or I'm telling mommy.

So can anyone answer the question?

#149: yup

by Aardappel on 06/04/2002 12:25

being the weird engine that it is, cube splits polys for lighting (since it uses vertex lighting). You need to take this into account.

by pushplay on 06/04/2002 23:31, refers to #149

So that means more lights of equal brightness, yes?

#151: can i not jump?

by captmellow on 06/05/2002 08:25

indeed? there are some maps which look like they have structures which should be jumped to, yet for the life of me I cannot reach them. is there some esoteric jumping technique of which i am not aware? or are there others who feel the same way about these teasing, unattainable jump spots? maybe they are meant to be rocket-jumped to.

btw, does rocket-jumping seem to be more expensive in cube than in other fps's, or is it just my inexperience?

#152: Re: can i not jump?

by pushplay on 06/05/2002 08:50, refers to #151

Whether it's more expensive or not doesn't matter, it is what it is.

If you can almost reach it then try strafe jumping to it. I dunno about most people, but I just assume people will try that in my maps.

by Goetzenzar on 06/05/2002 12:45

do you mean the 2nd quad in matador.cgz ? rocket jump needed there, yes.
about the "more expensive", i hope in rocketarena you can switch own rocket damage = off , though aard doesnt like that, perhaps its too unrealistic for him ;) , i played ra2 and ra3 mainly because of that feature, its very fun to rjump over the whole map, fraggin enemies on the way while doing. (:

#154: king tut

by pushplay on 06/06/2002 12:35

I did an impromptu editing tutorial online a while back, and it seems most people are confused about a few things, especially heightfields. Would there be any call for me making an online tutorial on that? There's no sense in me doing the work if no one would read it.

Uhm, what aren't people understanding about heightmaps?

by Gom Jabbar on 06/06/2002 13:10

Hmmm, I don't think there needs to be a heightmap tut, it's damn easy after all.

Using the default configuration: Just select the are you want to be heightmapped, then press "h" or "i" (h makes a heightmap of the floor, i makes one of the ceiling). It worked when the selection-fields are displayed in green. There's no way to make both floor and ceiling a heightmap.
K, now just select your desired Cube and press "9" or "8" to lower/raise the heightmap for this point (watch out for the red dot with your selection).

Tadaa, that's it... Any questions left? I fear so...

no, you can make nice curved surface, pressing the number line keys 8 and 9.

its all in the tutorials, but ive heard a few ppl say its confusing

Just visit the channel #cube on irc.gamesnet.net

That's the official Cube channel and your best chance of finding people who are interested in coop-mapping
