(onu123) #21

ok havent shown bublicity the newest updates…
not any big updates done!

a bit of forest and trees

(D3C0Y) #22

i would remove that poster of hitler, some countries are not fond of him
and no i’m not bs’ing you, te_frostbite for rtcw had to remove them…

  • resize your image a bit so it can fit the screen
(onu123) #23

yeah, ill just do that!!! And images are fiting in on my screen, but i know tha they have to be 640x480 in forums!

(and the “Hitle*” did no good in ur country too, but… there are some na**y flags hanging in the front of the house, are they bugging too?)

(D3C0Y) #24

they don’t bug ME, I’m just saying if you ever release this map… you could bumb into some resistance from server-admins who refuse to run it because of the history behind hitler and the nazi-imagery

(Papagali) #25

Yep, no offense to you personally, but I run a server too with a couple of friends and maps with swastika’s, Hitler posters and such will not be run on ours.
The reason for this is pretty simple: I’m European, and I live in the middle of where Adolf had his sick run in history. Too many familymembers lost in those days and that goes for a lot of Euro players. The game should be fun, not reminiscent of some of the darkest years in history.
If you like posters, check my post: http://www.splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&p=147397#147397
But to get back on topic: great work on your map! Keep it up!

Also look here for some great posters: http://www.splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&t=14782

i know that people hate hitler and stuff, but he DID exist in World War II and the game is also about it… so im going to remove that picture, but im not too happy about that :disgust:

no offense

(Papagali) #28

Hey bud, you do what you want, leave it in there if you like.
I’m just saying to Europeans it’s the same as Americans who would play the part of Bin Laden in a game and be expected to enjoy the experience. Do you understand?
Totally your choice, but the game IS NOT about Adolf Hitler, it’s about Allies vs Axis and there’s a subtle but oh so important difference, but it’s always your choice as this is mine.

No offense taken :cool:

(onu123) #29

thats the thing axis loved hitler and the hitlers pickture is in the axis house sooo…
the objective would be to destroy the picture of hitler!!! :clap:

lets not argue about it any more, i already have removed the picture/portrait

(nUllSkillZ) #30

No comment.

Although I would really like to post a comment.
But this would lead to a political discussion.
And this is a games forum.

(carnage) #31

perhaps posting some links to educational sites could help and avoid a lengthy debate about ww2 when realy ET is quite loosely based on ww2 other then looking sorta ww2ish there isnt much else

(Diego) #32

Keep in mind that Nazi imagery is also illegal in Germany and ET has a lot of german players. You can always make a separete .pk3 file with shader and texture overrides to swap posters out for those who want that extra “realistic” touch. But I see no reason to bother with that.

But you’ve just reminded me to take another look at the propaganda posters I’m using in my own map to make sure I didn’t miss anything.

(onu123) #33

who wants to do some scripting for me??? my own script didnt turn out too good… and doesnt work :clap:
more problems: the checkpoint doesnt work (i have looked at other maps and there the checkpoint is conneced to the spawners but mine isnt) what to do, made it by a tutorial, supoused to work fine??? DELETED from the MAP!!!
there are no door sounds! FIXED!!!
landmines cant be placed!
misc/misc_model-s can be walked through (like a ghost mode) FIXED!!!
Scripts to blowable gates and wall (func_explosive) FIXED!!!

help me!!!

some pics too:

(psyco_mario) #34

ill help with script:

landmines cant be placed! - The terrain needs a surfaceparam landmine thing-a-me-bob
misc/misc_model-s can be walked through (like a ghost mode) - you have 2 options 1: Check the solid flag, but, if it is a comples model, e.g. lots of sides ect, this will heavily reduce fps…, 2: Put a clip brush round it, this is a brush with a clip texture

(onu123) #35

ok, ALLl the scripting i leave up to you!
Landmines… I dont get it, if i could understand the word: “surfaceparam” (surface=land/ground or something, but param)
and for non clippers ill use clip brush

(kamikazee) #36

Param stands for parameter. So the word surfaceparam means that you give that surface a special property, in this case the ability to plant landmines on it.

(Shaderman) #37

It’s called surfaceparm not surfaceparam :wink:

Here’s a list of surfaceparms (note: not all work with ET): http://members.lycos.co.uk/quakeroats/q3map2/shader_manual/ch4.html

(Flippy) #38

its not surfaceparam its surfaceparm…

EDIT goddamnit someone was to quick :clap:

about the models, clip them with “common/clipweap” or clipweapon or clip_weapon or somthing like that… (its a purple/red see through brush)
if you only use clip it will not stop bulllets etc

about the blowable wall:

Here is a “little” tutorial i wrote:
http://www.fragland.org/nick/dynamite_tut.htm

(onu123) #39

wee… but iv got the exlosives working already myself, and a command post nd even health and ammo cabines and some other func_exploders like those join the axi posters on the gate-posts and some other… :clap:

(onu123) #40

i totally forgotten the story:

Axis are trying to take over Estonia…
Get them packing theyr bags and throw them out!!!
Also steal valuable documents of axis!
Thats all i guess…

We (allies) thought that axis have left, but they have built a secret hide-out.
Locate the entrance to the base!
Get in to the base (hide-out) and destroy or steal, what ever they are doing there!!!

Thats all folks!!!

Now some pics of the version 2:

(look at the towers left side, wall/fence (around the house) right end and the doors of house) isnt it soo creepy (its not!!)

:eek:
