…

today there will be a final beta-test… if you want to join the game plz contact me or

join irc-quakenet #wos-clan today at about 21:00 or 22:00 (gmt +1)

so… because i am only a hobby mapper (since a few weeks) and i cannot do everything alone… there will be some small bugs on the map … but it works fine… and i do not have the time to fix every little bug…

i will set this beta to final next wednesday…

(system) #11

Probably, I cant test :frowning: send PM with link for new version but me ok?

(SoulRebel) #12

the test run yesterday was really fun! there are still some details missing to round the gameplay but the release of the map, next wednesday, maybe a few days later can be hold

i hope you will have that fun at the map as i had…

I’m missing the entire command map, it only appears as an orange rectangle, maybe it’s something to do with the “Missing image/gfx…” error message in the console ?

(SoulRebel) #14

maybe you have a old version… on the beta3 the command map is black… i asked for help but it is not easy to generate (or hand-draw) a nice command map for a outdoor map with 4 hight levels (generatetracemap looks very bad!)

but every help is welcome if you do not want to have a black map at final…

(Fenris) #15

I’m unsure of the version, I got it from the webpage you linked to in this thread, and the filename is maiden3_pk3zip.zip, which would indicate its beta3 (?) but for me the rectangle is orange.
Anyway, wasn’t meant as critisizing your work rather just as a note in case you hadn’t seen it already due to your having the graphics I was missing or similar.

(SoulRebel) #16

thx… no… did not noticed that yet… nobody told me…
i will try to change this

i hope i do not misunderstand the state of “beta” at mapping … this map is not final

(Fenris) #17

Of course, that was my interpretation of it, and that was why I offered comments :slight_smile:

(Lockeownzj00) #18

May I suggest something?

The helicopter has invisible sides on the inside of it. What you need to do is copy the outside layer then matrix invert it, so it will look like there are two sides to it.

(SoulRebel) #19

yes, but i do not know why… this is not the final model but brushes missing after compilign… dont know why
the same problem i have with my plants i planted under water… they disappear after i compile -vis -light (on -bsp they are visible… the whole heli, too)

dont know… is there a limit of using models?
