Nice retexture job, Larry.May need to borrow that back from you once it's time to use that object again.
The shots with all of those drawers make me fear for your brush/object limits though.
Not retexture. New headboard and footboard. I just kept the mattress, pillows, and bedspread from COSAS. And you are welcome to any of these should you want them. Eventually I'll release a bedroom pack ...
I've been thinking of versions without working drawers too, should that be necessary.
A bedroom pack? At this rate, you will have to release The City IKEA Catalogue!
Building my first mission now. Dromed is damn buggy, frustrating and annoying, yet for some reason I can't stop. Be prepared for my first crappy mission, whenever that is, time seems to get swallowed up rapidly with this thing...
Just so you don't think I'm being lazy, I am also writing BOOKS.
Do you think 17 books just listing plants are too many to find in a Keeper school?

I see the Keepers as having lots of lists of things. I could merge some of the plant books to reduce the number of them ...Code:Laceflower - Daucus carota Lamb's Foot - Plantago major Leek - Allium Lily Leek - Allium moly Lilac Summer Lilac - Hesperis matronalis Love Vine - Clematis virginiana Maple - Acer Ash-Leaved Maple - Acer negundo Black Maple - Acer nigrum Creek Maple - Acer saccharinum Cutleaf Maple - Acer negundo Maple Ash- Acer negundo Moose Maple - Acer pensylvanicum Red River Maple - Acer negundo River Maple - Acer saccharinum Silver Maple - Acer saccharinum Silverleaf Maple - Acer saccharinum Soft Maple - Acer saccharinum Striped Maple - Acer pensylvanicum
If they wanna stay ahead of the Pagans' planty magics, herby booksies are fine.
I'd say books purely for colour should not be overused - one or two, sure, but it may be overkill to have a whole library of them readable. Suggest, don't simulate is my philosophy for this kind of stuff.
Things have been progressing rather slowly*, but I've got the object textured... now I need to find out why bsp keeps throwing "ERROR: Error, bad polygon in vert 6, bailing" whenever I include the piston heads in the .E file
* my fiancee has to return to the US on Wednesday morning.We've been busy getting things ready, and collecting the information needed for her to apply for a fiancee visa, so I've not had much time for this stuff. Wish us luck with the visa application, if it comes through without problems, only a few months from now we'll be married!
Hey Larry, i want to see al that nice stuff in one mission and spent time looking at the all new objects.
Thanks. You will. Maybe in 6 months or so. This is a foolishy ambitious and non-trivial first mission!
*secretly plots to enlist The Watcher to work on future cosas missions*
Spent the weekend creating some new texures and banners.
This is an even more foolishly ambitious first mission.
Ambition is what drives great projects, and yours looks like a definite winner. So - go ahead, just don't forget to finish it!
Looks cool.Originally Posted by The Watcher

Theres a good chance you used a number in your axle name -ie: x2500
that makes bsp think a part is moving through another. Since it has no effect in game just use zeros - ie: x0000
It counts even as is a piston is just inside the cylinder and moves inside the object, even if it doesn't move through any polys.
It'll move fine in game but it tells BSP 'it won't move, thus it won't move through parts of the object'
It's also what makes you tweak your storyline and missions for ages, in such a way that one map takes three years to come out of your guts.Ambition is what drives great projects, and yours looks like a definite winner. So - go ahead, just don't forget to finish it!
Referring to myself ? No, why ?
Yeah, that's the tricky part - after some polish, you just have to let your creation go and live or die with its errors (after a beta, of course). Dromed has a way of checking you with its limits, but if you never reach them, well...
Still, a released 8/10 mission is better than a 10/10 that eventually gets canned as the author becomes disenchanted with it (too many examples to count
Working on a Thief2 mission called "The Light of Day", I have to face up to the fact that my Whitechapel series will have to be consigned to the bin because of some nasty problems that it seems to have inherited through several transfers between hard drives during reformatting.
So I started this new mission and for once...I'm having fun with it. It starts in Garretts attic room with a message from Basso to "get out quick" and just as he finds the way out, the mechs burst in and he escapes just in time...he gets lost, takes the wrong route and ends up deep underground and has to find his way back to the surface and meet up with basso. This mission uses plenty of teleports, scripts and I think some rather original scenes which are not unpleasing to the eye....I will do some screenies tomorrow afternoon.
There is still much to do and at the rate this is going I may have to split it into two parts.
I've been working on these new rockets. They're hard to aim and frankly the last thing S7 needs is more explosive things but nevertheless it's got them now.

. . .well you do get used to aiming them.
Thanks to Yandros and Eshaktaar for the emitter set up!
Damn, you never cease to amaze me, Slip!
I've been helping with final testing on Rose Cottage, and also have been writing music for guitar lately, which is a really nice change of pace. It's been a long time since I exercised that creative outlet. And collaboration only makes it even better!
Sliptip, looking awesome, as always!
I love rockets!
Unbelievable, now it's definitely a system shock 2 fm, not a thief 2 fm anymore
The bridge at the end of the second vid is amazing ! I furiously can't wait to play this one.
Coincidence ? Yesterday I was looking back at all your vids on youtube, and today 2 more vids added.
Btw, to let people know, after a big break I'm back on Rocksbourg 4
\o/Btw, to let people know, after a big break I'm back on Rocksbourg 4
I want to know is how you got those round doors to be so smooth, Slip.
Rounded edges are done with a succession of overlapping wedges: e.g. start with one that's 1 unit by 9 units, copy it, adjust it to 2*8, copy it, adjust it to 3*7 etc. It is brush- and polygon-intensive but has its rewards.
