Some more DT4 shots of some stuff I did over Christmas.

[Fish]

Wow, what a wealth of new textures.
Excellent!

[Jimmy Chicken]

I agree. Up your damn level so we can have something new to talk about!

What's that? It has to be what first? When did you make up that rule?

Hey! I think one of those textures was mine! Well, I shouldn't complain, considering BB made them for me...

[Burning Gundam]

Unfortunately, the world will blow up before this is ever released. However, that can go about the same for mine.

Barry, have you considered adding fog to your level?

I think it would look really good with some.

I think Fog would be impossible to make.

Fog is impossible, but you can fake it.

Do you remember the force fields in Prelude to Harkov’s Defection, and how you see colors flashing to show that there is a force field. Just change the color of the force field and use subsectors all over the room with the scrolling fog in the middle texture just like the force fields.

[Fish]

Would not that look like Kyle is in a center of a huge beehive?

[Jimmy Chicken]

I hav'nt tried it so I would'nt know

[Matt H]

Fog would be possible, using the CMP in a manner similar to Gromas' CMP.

However, one can only do so many things with one CMP, and this one is pretty much full. Besides, the fog would show up everywhere, including indoors, and I don't want that.

By the way. Good job, Barry!

Now let's see, where did I put that restraining bolt?...

[Taton]

Actually, I meant like fog near the bottom of the level. Like you would look off the side of a building and see fog a thousand feet below you.

You could do this by making the floor of the canyons a greying color. The walls of the buildings would steadily fade to this color grey near the bottom. It makes a really neat fog effect. The only problem is that Im not sure if Dark Forces supports that amount of different grey colors...

Just another 2 cents *Ka-ching* *Ka-ching*

Not a bad idea, I have seen this in JA alot.

[Nottheking]

My question is: What kind of answer is 87? It's not like it's 42...

It's too bad that DF has such short thresholds for HOMing... DF HOMs after about 40 meters, while JK HOMs after about 12 KILOmeters... (I just found this out yesterday).

Anyway, those screnies look good. Which level are they from? The first? I'm glad I've acquired a great deal of patience... This may only be released just a few days before DNF, and mabye a couple of months after Dark 3D!

Looking good Barry. I saw some of this stuff I think in the build you sent to Matt. It has the cleaner look of Coruscant as compared to the grubbier Nar Shadaa.

Just remember all, this won't get released until after DTIII. And that isn't terribly close to completion.

[Burning Gundam]

I'll be an old man by then.

I wonder which we will see first:

Duke Nukem Forever,
Dark 3D,
Stars! Supernova
or The Dark Tide III: Eye of the Empire.

Any guesses anybody? I'll say Dark 3D... Perhaps I should create a poll for this... Although it would belong in GD, and we memebers are only allowed to make polls in the showcase here...

Option number 5 should be:

The Earth's sun expanding into a red giant.

[Taylor]

That's very reassuring, Patrick, especially since you're one of the project leaders.

[The MAZZTer]

:O Nice... although I'm not liking the solid color for the floor of the railing in the 2nd and 3rd shots.

Maby Barry has'nt made the textures he is going to use on the railing yet.

Besides how would you spin it?

[Burning Gundam]

Easy.

item: spinning_thingy
seq
class: elevator morph_spin1 or 2
event_mask: whatever
speed: whatever
center: x and z axis
seqend

Fairly easy to accomplish

The spinning railing would look funny, considering that it would be stretching the sectors adjacent to it, so the building would be quite odd.

I also like the use of 3DOs to enhance the arcitecture. On a side note, do DF and JK use the same type of 3DO files?

I also forgot something else that goes on the list of things we may never see in our lives, but our decendants in the 50th century might (if they're lucky): Starcraft 2.

They dont use the same type of 3DO file. The ones for JK have *.3do while Dark Forces is *.3DO. (or vice-versa, I can never remember). Also the files are structured differently.

Oh, another Imperial Center level. It's been done

I would expect hell to freeze over before Starcraft 2 comes out unfortunately . I actually bugged Blizzard about that a couple of times. All we can really hope for at this point is Starcraft Ghost.

My list:

1. Gran Turismo 5
2. I'll be married
3. Computers will become too advanced to run DF
4. Homeland security will screen internet for anything that may be illegal.
5. Dark Tide 3 and 4 will be released... if we're all still alive in 50 years.
