>Your grammar. It pains me.

I was mocking Mr. Clash, here. I assumed it would have been obvious.

The "i am piss" cracks me up every time. XD

I knew that but decided to get in on the action... and by action I mean some sort of reference with which I am unfamiliar. Is it perhaps from The Karate Kid?

Anyway, today I'm resting from BGX development since this thing has been day in-day out (or is that day in/out, or maybe day nout? hmm... lol gotta love these digressions!) and has become like work to me, even though you school folks and other er... "employed" people would consider it worthy of a hobby. So yeah, lots of time spent + Sabbath day = try to make Sunday a day of rest and to keep it holy.

Speaking of holy, I haven't really had a nice day today because ... well, nevermind, let's try to be positive. Happy things. (My life is torture.) ERM... what I meant to say was, ... well, nevermind. Oh, yeah, new paragraph.

So, how are you guys doing? I absolutely hate it when people stop treating each other with compassion; it just starts ruining everyone's life. A path of compassion, truth and understanding yields happiness and acceptance and goes nowhere near bickering and wicked moronic tendencies. When people forget to think in terms of positive compassion, that's where you see bad shifts in approach and behavior and stupid decisions. Love everyone else as yourself. Treat people with respect because they are in fact valuable human beings; and try to understand how they are valuable by treating them with compassion rather than manipulative nonsense. Man, I hate it when people are manipulative... just gotta forgive them and move on, though. The problems start coming in when they stop being loving people; it is only right to do good though.

(How's that for another digression?)

*reads subject line* oh yeah, bloodgulch extreme... well let's see what Moanday... i mean Monday... brings. Just the central tunnel system and that's essentially a finished terrain! Then there's:

- supersecretsurprisestuff
- portaling
- miscellaneous extras
- revising the red base security system
- placement of lalalayoucan'thearthiscoveryourearslalala
- lights
- relocating netgame flags to incorporate the entire map
- adjusting the lalalasomethingsomething underground and messing with lala's some more in testing (possible in Eschaton though)
- maybe making some more la's for the lalala lala lala thingy, since the lala is messed up
- a nicer radiosity

... all which can be done in one or two more days, so this will probably turn into a grand total of a 2-week project. not bad, not bad...
Check back monday or tuesday night if you want. See you then.

I saw the picture of the waterfalls in bloodgulch and I literately said "what the nigger." outloud. My dad kinda got mad at me xD.

But uh yeah, Fonzie's right about greenery...even if he does specialize in killing bloodgulch to make it a home for zombies.

It's funny because below the banshee there are two new types of trees.

almost finished. release in a few hours.

EDIT: Finished terrain stuff. Looks ok, but the tunnels aren't exactly as I envisioned they would be. I had about three different concepts I could have used, but went with the more thematic one. Portalled it all just now. If no errors, all that remains is fixing up the scnr.

I've spent this time debugging it since I have an error with portals and I can't seem to place which one it is. Should take at least the rest of the evening before I can release a nice version of this.

So tonight or tomorrow morning.

The reason why it takes so long and why I keep checking back here to update the status is because it takes maybe 5 minutes to export from 3ds max (!) and maybe 3 minutes to compile (!). The map is really quite big in terms of triangle count. Here's the latest:

Code: Select all

structure bsp "levels\test\bloodgulch\bloodgulch_extreme"
BSP has 56337 nodes, 27735 leaves
56943 surfaces and 74329 vertices in 313 material groups
193 portals, 39 clusters

      4227Kb collision data (394Kb vertices, 1420Kb edges, 402Kb surfaces)
      5362Kb render data (2961Kb vertices, 1268Kb surfaces,
                          763Kb nodes/leaves, 290Kb clusters)
         0Kb pathfinding data
----------------------
     10555Kb  (without debug information)
Whereas default bloodgulch is a small fraction of that size, I think less than 1/10th.

OK I think this is what I'm sticking with so far:

Code: Select all

structure bsp "levels\test\bloodgulch\bloodgulch_extreme"
BSP has 56317 nodes, 27820 leaves
56943 surfaces and 74327 vertices in 313 material groups
287 portals, 61 clusters

      4226Kb collision data (394Kb vertices, 1420Kb edges, 402Kb surfaces)
      5378Kb render data (2961Kb vertices, 1269Kb surfaces,
                          764Kb nodes/leaves, 304Kb clusters)
         0Kb pathfinding data
----------------------
     10570Kb  (without debug information)
Not all the portals work properly, but it's close enough. You shouldn't see it raining indoors too often.
I'm on the last real step before converting to demo. Lightmaps. Since there is no sunlight in the map, I'm just using the normal Sapien method to render the lightmaps. Since the level is like 10-15 times larger than default bloodgulch, it will probably take overnight to do the lightmaps. I'll release Bloodgulch Extreme on Wednesday then, if that turns out to be the last step for real... but I might take a half hour to try to debug the machines or something like that. We'll see how it goes.

Release on Wednesday afternoon. That's what, two full weeks of working on this thing? Phew! Intense!

UPDATE: Lightmaps still going, so I'll probably still release it this afternoon. (v.v Man, am I tired!)

I'm adding some special tags to this which can be used as templates. For example, I'm making a HUD Item Strings List ustr tag which includes name values for every wieldable weapon found in the Halo Encyclopedia. With this tag, you'll have proper weapon names for items which you pick up and for when you pick up ammo for them. There is not a separate ammo item for each weapon, since weapons like the M6 Magnum Pistol Sidearm use the same ammunition among all its variants. I'm leaving the default string list values in the tag and adding more specific names afterwards so that it works seamlessly with existing hud item string index values in your map.

I might release those tags separately also.

Still generating lightmaps...

...lol so guess what? After staying up all night and taking an entire day waiting for this to generate the lightmaps in sapien, the counters finally reach 0 and so I go to save the lightmaps in sapien and it quits on me. Sapien used 400MB of ram generating the lightmaps and then it just crashes on me when I go to save them. So now I'm using tool to generate the lightmaps, which can do so in the background while I do other things (Sapien slowed down a lot when it was put in the background). This should be much faster, perhaps only a few hours.

In the mean time, I'm making more epic tags, including string values for every vehicle and weapon in the halo series (found in the Halo Encyclopedia) and some extra concept entries from archery crossbows to bubbles. Fun stuff that will be useful as a template tag for general modding purposes and also for fixing up HUD string text values for imported and novel weapons, vehicles and powerups. It should give that extra sophisticated usefulness to Bloodgulch Extreme.

Version 1.1 will include volcanic formations with lava and some resources from my bitmaps and sounds collection. I'll also try to fix up the portals which didn't quite make it this time around. 1.0 release once these lightmaps and strings are finished, I fix the sound scenery, convert and test.

...another day of running lightmaps only to be given this error when completed:

Code: Select all

What it's telling me is the lightmaps are too large to be put in a bitmap. I'm trying different levels of quality now in order to see what happens.

This one worked but is only at 0.9 detail, rather than 0.000001 detail:

Code: Select all

i'm going to render final lightmaps for bloodgulch_extreme of levels\test\bloodgulch\bloodgulch_extreme, and i'll stop when red+blue+green =

Hit control-c now if this isn't right.

It worked but it doesn't look the best. Well, now it's just finishing up adding the vehicles to the unicode string list and then it's change indices and build and convert. Probably will put out version 1.0 tonight, within an hour or so from now.

EDIT: Release in about 15 minutes. by 10:30pm EST.

OK! just fixing up some index string values and messing with some machines to get them to work properly... the security systems don't seem to want to function properly anymore :(

EH. I need some help here. Where does it say "Press "%s" to enter %s seat of %s" ? I can't find that thing anywhere... and it's nagging me.

Nevermind.

I'm releasing 1.0 now. I tried for at least 4 hours to fix all the problems with the machines and generally fix up the map, but the machines are still inoperable. So what I'm going to say is once you're down in certain areas of the map, the only way out is currently suicide or death. Sorry bout that, it'll be fixed in 1.1, which comes with lava and other cool stuff also.

In the mean time, I present:

Bloodgulch Extreme 1.0

showing off the new ustr tags I made:

Please. Send cookies. This was two weeks and two days of madness, nearly 120% time dedication to making this. A learning experience for sure (and great knowledge for my Galaxy Wars development) but I would really appreciate some cookies.

For the vehicle names, if you wanna make it cool just remove where it says Banshee, but keep everything else in. That way all of us Halo nerds can know exactly what each vehicle is!

Mumble me tuna.

You said to include not the nicknames but only the technical names such as "Type-26 Assault Vehicle".

The way these two tags fit in are that they add more depth to the idea that spartans are experts in all weaponry (human weaponry anyway) and so the HUD displaying the information to the spartan or master chief would indicate that the suit of armor includes an encyclopedic interface device. Imagine, if you will, that you have a pair of glasses which act as a virtual Wikipedia (but better than Wikipedia because it's more inclusive) where you can become like a mechanic when you open up your car's hood or judge exact distance when you go to throw a basketball... you get the picture. It doesn't work with more complex skills, but there really isn't much skill involved in shooting a weapon or interfacing with most mechanical devices. But even typing on a keyboard is a skill, so I digress from that point.
