Help / LAN Game Baseplates

« on: August 28, 2009, 10:23:53 PM »

hey, when I play a LAN game with my friends, it always makes us start on 64x64 baseplates.  This is kind of obnoxious and I wish it wasn't the case; is there any way I can disable this?

General Discussion / New visual errors with v11

« on: March 18, 2009, 05:49:39 PM »

Here are some screens that I've taken since last night.

I run on an old P4 laptop with a radeon x600 card.  The drivers are probably not up to date, to be fair; however, I've talked to a bunch of people who have similar problems (and hopefully will post!) so I'm not sure if that's the issue.

I've had this happen in other games when my card heats up a bit too much, but I don't think that's the problem here.

Anywho I hope that you guys can fix this soon, I love this game so much but it's really getting in the way of my building!













That last one in particular looks really cool, but I don't want to see it every time I load the game.

Gallery / Island Castle

« on: January 31, 2009, 01:28:51 PM »

I'm posting this as a WIP because I really don't want to permaban myself like I told people I would if I didn't have this done by the end of the month.  Sorry folks!  I'm a liar.

Anywho this build was inspired by the city of Venice, Mount St. Michel, and several old gothic churches in the Oxfordshire area.  I'm up to 15k bricks now and I'm about halfway done, or maybe a little less.  I've got more or less full interiors, most of which aren't furnished yet.

I'm working on the back of the build by the dock area right now (as you can probably tell by the screenshots) which I'm thinking I can finish in a few days.  Once I get the entire base done I can start expanding upward; eventually I want for the build to be slightly surreal, and for it to be much taller than it is now.  Hopefully I'll have the patience and skill to do justice to the work.





This is a shot of the back-end which is woefully incomplete.  Still, I find it interesting to see other builders' processes, and I hope you do as well.  The bright red bricks are basically placeholders until I can actually support those parts of the build.

Suggestions & Requests / Elevator Vehicle?

« on: August 22, 2007, 01:13:48 AM »

Nuff said.

Perhaps 8x8x(height)?  12x12?  Some nice, easy interval.  Even 5x5 so it fits on the spawn neatly.

This strikes me as pretty simple to make, but I'm not a modder so I dunno.  Pretty much just a nice box.

Gallery / So uh that Church

« on: July 22, 2007, 02:50:33 AM »

Yeah so the build is done; like stated earlier, it is a team build between myself and MadCat_mk2; however, the main hall is entirely of my design and serves as my USSR application.

I feel like after the hype we got, the finished product is kind of a let-down; quite frankly, after the headache of figuring out how the hell to finish the sides up (both literally and figuratively - I'm pretty hung over, but promised myself I'd finish this tonight) I copped out and didn't end up painting the windows.  In addition, like MadCat said, there are thoughts (dreams?) of a pipe organ, and personally I feel like there need to be buttresses, but I'm pretty burned out and having him help me out would void my app, so no more for now.

If someone wants to make this on a public server (neither of us can serve) and put on an open invitation to paint the windows, that would be quite welcome.

(I'll upload some images later my head hurts waay too much.)

Gallery / Man I am so tired of Churches

« on: July 16, 2007, 06:20:26 PM »

That said, a little preview of a build a friend (MadCatmk2) and I have been cooking up via a lan.  Unfortunately we're on a university network and can't forward our ports to make a server, so here you go.









It is somewhat deconstructed and also being constructed.  This was originally meant to be a fairly simple build, possibly for a nice deathmatch, but it seems that things turned out differently.  Quite frankly the proportions are all off on most everything, both architecturally and in terms of relative scale, but the show must go on.

Suggestions & Requests / Light Halos on Emitter Menu

« on: March 19, 2007, 11:43:07 PM »

Basically I just want to set up the same halo that a light has as a function on an emitter.  I end up making a ton more lights than I need to for the sake of symmetry or visual effect, just because I like the way the light halos look.  Allowing the halo sprites on the emitter menu would, pretty obviously, reduce lag.

I'd use the fire emitters but they're a little big.

Also, this is pretty simple and doesn't really require any new content.  I'm pretty sure someone could whip up a mod for this in like five seconds, I just don't know how.

Gallery / For your Pleasure:

« on: March 19, 2007, 01:17:09 PM »

So after not playing this for about two years, I decided to get retail.

Here's a neat little build... loosely based off that big palace in Mongolia, I guess.  Kind of a shaolin temple type deal.  Needs some more rooms on the far side I think (away from the grand staircase, on the little one)... If I did that it could probably be a pretty cool little DM map.  Also probably should do something with the interior, couldn't figure out what though.

EDIT:  Persistence is here:  http://www.mediafire.com/?3onmogmlo1t
