Title: WIP ; ge_codex
Post by: namajnaG on November 14, 2015, 04:07:35 pm: Hello everyone!
I've been working the past week on a recreation of dm_codex from Unreal Tournament from scratch.
For those who are unfamiliar with UT99, this is a medium-scale deathmatch map, often used in 1v1 matches.
At first, I was using UnrealEditor to recreate the exact same scale as in UT, but it turned out to be waaaaay too small for GE:S, so I ended up using UnrealEd only for reference purposes and enlarged the scale of the map for it to be able to accompany a fair amount of players and to fit GE:S since UT has, of course, way different game mechanics.

Although the map is still in development, since I just finished up the main geometry of the level an hour ago, I decided to give you guys a sneak peak of what will be coming towards you guys in a very near future. I'll be working on lighting and secondary geometry next.
This is ONLY to demonstrate the layout of the level, lighting will come in later

Here's a quick video if the screenshots aren't enough for ya'.
(You can see through water since lighting was not built yet. Don't mind that.)

I should complete the entirety of the map within the next 7 days if everything is fine and dandy.

(Pictures aren't top quality and it looks slightly brighter ingame)

Next up is the rest of the geometry and then I'm left off with optimization and weapon placement.
If anyone has any constructive criticism on how I could make the lighting better if you believe it could be improved, I'll gladly take some.

Post by: soupcan on November 19, 2015, 06:59:16 pm: I like the varied lighting throughout the map, but some of the dimmer areas could stand to be a bit lighter.
Title: Re: WIP ; ge_codex
Post by: namajnaG on November 19, 2015, 07:01:55 pm: Noted. I thought a few areas missed out some brightness as well.
Title: Re: WIP ; ge_codex
Post by: Mangley on November 20, 2015, 02:53:36 am: Looking great! Lighting looks very reminiscent of the original.

I'd recommend making your own water material so that you can define the water fog value so it's not bright blue. It's easy!

Post by: Jonathon [SSL] on November 20, 2015, 04:49:36 am: I was going to comment how spot-on the lighting looks but Mangley beat me to it!
Title: Re: WIP ; ge_codex
Post by: namajnaG on November 20, 2015, 03:41:37 pm: Thanks guys! Really appreciate it.
As for the water material, I've already had a water_lod_control laying around but I left it untouched until now (If this is what you are talking about, because I am unsure).
I have also updated most textures for high-res ones and tuned up the lighting a bit, but there's still some changes to be made because now I think a few areas look slightly too bright.

Here's a quick look.
