Grav - Lifts < :iamafag: - Lifts

Took a few tries and a couple of different methods but this worked the best. Ignore light maps and the pretty volumetric lift model/shader still needs some work.

It will sync as good as your player position. This is a more consistent lift than the type of lift used in h2 coag though so less laggy than any other lift I've seen in CE.

I'll do a test on LAN later. I'm really tired right now.

slowly but surely, CE maps are becoming better than halo 3 maps (most suck)

Nice job. Any chance you might release the tags for it/make a tutorial on how to do it?

Awesome stuff, I've always been a huge fan of grav lifts, I was always disappointed in how limited they were in CE, I sure hope it syncs.

You have them set up so they don't interrupt shield recharge, correct?

Yes


I'm going to do a client test now that I've actually gotten a few hours sleep. Being addicted to oblivion has caused me to stay up for 26 hours straight. :p

i hear its a good game and all but its gotta be worse than WoW

I've beat oblivion at least 4 or 5 times. I'm just playing some of the expansion mods lately like the lost spire and the thieves arsenal.

I'm not addicted though I'm just into the game right now. I was addicted when I played it the first time though (which was 1 week with almost no sleep)

On another note...

Client side test went VERY well. It seems that the lift syncs about 90% of the time and only has issues when your game is running choppy.

Odd yes but while I was recording and my frame rate got low it seemed to cause the lifts to not sync as well but when I stopped recording and lowered my settings to record with a better frame rate it seemed to always sync.

It may be a problem with the damage effects not continuously updating when your frame rate drops.

Progress!


Also I'm going to add a poll. Do you guys think pipeline needs a overhaul? I have a idea for a updated layout that sort of resembles snowbound from halo 3.

I think the map is a bit too small for sniper rifles.

Find a different texture for the side of that large structure, the current one you have doesn't fit in. I'm pretty sure its meant as an indoor texture anyways. Find one that tiles evenly, preferably.

That 2nd test you did there looks pretty solid

No ;)

That's a exterior texture but your right it looks out of place. I'm going to put that pretty glowy tech panel on it I think.

Looking good so far I think. Still have to texture the massive middle structure and all the small hut things.

Sup hoes. Since the poll results showed a need for some change on pipeline (formally hypothermia) I decided to go ahead and open this map up to suggestions.

Here is a early concept of what I'm thinking.

I assume this is meant to be a slayer map.
As it stands, it is waaaay too open. Put more underground (and trench) paths in to start with.
Inferno

Slayer and 1 Flag. Custom game type - 3 minutes, blue defend, red offend, no flag switch, 1 score to win.

The open ares will be filled with rocks and trees. The map is going to still be pipeline but a better layout. Also turrets will kill you if you go out on the frozen lake (ala snowbound) I think a cave of some sort on 1 side of the map would be good and make the underground tunnel maybe go around the back of the base and come out behind it out of the cliff wall instead of on the side out in the open.
