Mapping Tips from PleaseMYOB and foyleman
Closing

A real shame the episode was recorded a DAY before the CoD2 demo release :D

I would have liked to hear your opinions on it... but.. I'll have to wait for next episode for that.

this way you will get a better response in regards to the demo. We've had time to think it over... and replay it. lol.

Doom3>HL2=Quake4>CoD2

Ahh, only foyleman & pleaseMYOB... hmmm, wheres all the rest?... guess i have to listen to know... if the download wasnt as slow as it is... *mumbles* damn ISP... instable piece of cr*p *mumbles*

Whaa? I didnt say anything

Listening to PleaseMYOB's "hint of the week" :p

I use prefabs alot too (own made ofcourse). My latest map (mp_argentan) is a town map. I started by creating big blocks for each building and then selected one of the blocks, copy that into a new map, so it's in the right place and has the maximum dimensions.

I then build the house, compile it to test if it works ok, portalled and all. Save as a prefab and then import the prefab into the map with the big blocks. Works great.. and you know the big map will compile without errors as long as the prefabs do.

I also have some small complex things (like a spiral staircase) saved as prefab.

No offense but with only the two of you, and a bunch of lack-luster topics I think this episode was rather dull. I did enjoy the tip about making tileable (I'm not even sure that's a word, we'll go with seamless) textures though, thanks Foyleman.

Agree filbert, and hearing foyleman talking 90% of the time was getting kinda boring after 40 minutes (No offence m8 )

No offense taken. Good criticism. The next episode should be full of voices.

I just heard the part where you guys were talking about the Serious Sam 2 demo, I have a 6800 GT 256 Megs and I was able to run it on 1280x920 and have all the video settings on max and it ran smooth all the way, so I don't know what the problems you guys could be having would be.
