Another new monstrosity...courtesy of MercyKiller

MercyKiller

Well, here's my latest creation, called prog_sewer.

...The first room of the level. Only area that has been detailed so far. You'll face off against a horde of demons, rising toxic fluid, and a damned slow porticulis that takes five minutes to grind open, allowing you to get to higher ground.

...The main sewage passageway. Note that the water here is not toxic...until the rising fluid from the previous two areas makes its way up to here.

...The underground lake full of industrial waste. You'll need to ride the automated boat service to get across here. The demons like boats too, so...heh.

That's all for now, though there are more areas that I've done, I don't want to spoil it Razz

Hmm... Green Bay Packers...

It looks very nice. I have three questions about the water.
1. Can you swim in the lake?
2. Have you replaced/improved the water shader?
3. Will there be things to jump onto in order to avoid the toxic waste whil the portcullis is rising?

You die on contact with the water. It's toxic.

Remember that boat I was talking about? Well, here are some early WIP renders. The boat has not been textured yet, and I haven't finished all the details, but the hull is basically done. The boat was modelled in blender v. 237a Linux. The renders don't really do the model justice, as it looks better when you can rotate it, etc, but whatever, here we go:

That's the better of the two...

...this is the...less graphically appealing render. I had some camera trouble with this render (blender noob here), but hopefully it illustrates indentations where the plasma-rocket engines will reside.

The boat is basically a moving platform for the players to stand on, since it's supposed to be automated transporation there are no controls other than "activate". The boat has been designed to be simple as a result of this.

Hope you like them (ideas or comments welcome).

Not that this has much to do with the map, but since MercyKiller mentioned it...

You *could* always do it the Quake1 way and just recycle the walking animation. I don't think anyone would object to the silly air-running as opposed to not having some decent liquids to freeform around in. There's some new mod called "Into Cerberon" touting this kind of movement, but of course extensive coding would be required for this to work, particularly if you had swimming rules (drowning etc).

It's not really vital to LMS considering the monsters would just sink like rocks (possibly excepting cacos & souls), but it certainly would be cool. Also, damn you for making a progression map with the 'outrun the rising fluid' theme before I get to it. Not that I'm taking it out of the map I'm working on for submission, but I'll have to see how yours pans out and try to deviate from it so it won't be too similar.

Also, thanks for visiting The HIVE. Unless someone's pretending to be you in the highscore table.

Haha. Outrun the rising fluids, eh? Great minds and a certain MercyKiller who is obsessed with water think alike, it would seem :P

The whole water physics/animation is...eh...considering that AO has bugs to fix and some higher priority stuff to do.

And yes, that is me on the highscore list :D

EDIT: OMG broke the 1000 post barrier O_O (sorry, but just had to post this) Razz
