Fantastic use of the prison content; it's easily the best texture set in the game save for maybe the good common textures. It's a damn shame it wasn't in the retail release.

Love the first and last shots in your post especially.

I don't post here that often, but there's some solid talent around these parts so enjoy a brief shill mode post... Straight from our site: ----- Gearbox Software is looking for several level designers to work on an upcoming 3d action title (Full Time and Contract Positions). Responsibilities: Develo...

The PS3 -and- PC versions are shipping in November, with a delayed-release 360 version. Same thing they'd planned before the 360 SKU was announced.

Hola, Compadre!

Wait, you again? *grumble* :P

psst, try ubidays 07: http://www.gametrailers.com/game/2577.html

heh, between this and lunaran's new site from a while back I've gotten the re-design urge now, too. Damn you!

(ps: I like)

Alpha textured helicopter as a rotating brush entity, GO!

holy shit, if it is, id broke the entire single player game, haha. I'd double-check it's set up correctly... trigger the tether which targets the desired AI, and make sure there's enough valid space within the radius to move... if that's all working, then something might be hosed. Could also play th...

snazzy indeed, mister lunaran. And with a title like that it'd be hard not to be awesome.

Goddamn do I love the prison textures. Cool stuff, Lukin.

Say hi to Philip Klevestav!

New textures, yay.

...and my map with them still remains unfinished, boo

Make sure you're talking about "clip" and not "full_clip" - "full_clip" also blocks visibility and all weapons fire, which is not so good on a wide scale. :) I'll try write up some more detailed info for you tonight; it was getting late last night or I could have probab...

Seems odd to be compiling an FAQ without having touched the game yet yourself. ;) Pretty good coverage so far... things I've noticed: -Visportals work best in pairs. Just having a single portal in an open connection between rooms won't close. Think of it as defining chunks of level to draw at once. ...

You can get an AAS layer working on terrain without 100% precision. AI will trace to the nearest AAS layer (up to maybe 64-96 units or so, I think - don't quote me on that) for pathfinding, but use the collision of the terrain. You can get away with just creating a rough AAS layer under the terrain ...

Yep, they're in there. I guess they weren't mentioned since they were already announced back when that was released.

On the bright side, that map should actually run with this patch.

Arg! I don't know how I missed that in my proofreading runs... I'll get that fixed sometime today. Thanks for pointing it out.

As for the xbox/PC stuff, nothing made custom for the PC can be ported to the xbox, at least not without a devkit and the build process.

Not going to happen, I'm afraid. We had to do crazy custom mini-builds just to test a single map on the hardware, let alone get the entire game on there. Quite a few things are set up differently from the PC version.

as posted in the other thread, all the info combined into one big mega entry: http://www.iddevnet.com/quake4/LevelEditor_MPMapDefs

(I also confirmed this morning that the gametype_* keys are 360-only, so yay for that. )

And with the official clarification (the system was id's in the first place, so we had about as much to go on as you did :P ), this is now available: http://www.iddevnet.com/quake4/LevelEditor_MPMapDefs Includes the addonPak setup info, plus details on the 360-only keys, examples, etc. and should be...

Hey, so you were right in the first place. Shows me for trying. :P Of course, doesn't help that I misread your problem in the first place! Well done.

The maps/ bit was an error on my part but I also suck at folder creation so it balanced out (I was hurredly putting together test stuff on a clean install and forgot where I was :) ) Of course, I may be making all of this up, I came back from lunch and went to verify the path and it's not working fo...

Aww, but I updated it in February with playerModel def info... :P Anyway, what seemed to break things in my test case was leaving the original files in their respective folders under q4base/. Free-floating files override their pk4 equivalents, so I think you're getting conflicts as long as those fil...

Dr4ch: Yeah, not sure how the info_locations got there, but they're gone now. As for light detail levels, all levels have tweaks to them (CTF maps are a little more aggressive and embarrassingly enough it seems no one ever did the DM maps). It's only the single toggle (good ol' 5) as in the SP maps,...
