Hi follks,
So, last friday I was just thinking of old memories and got a hair up my butt to make a killing floor map of an old ravev location I used to go to. I've always been into 3D, but never actually figured it out well enough to make anything...I am a computer engineer irronically=).
Anyway, from last friday to saturday i worked non-stop on the map... low and behold, I learn I'm supposed to be coding in KillingFloor SDK, not what I was using, UDK.... Only about 22 hours down the drain.
So, I rebuilt everything Sun and Mon, got snowed in on tuesday, and started added textures, custom textures, meshes, etc.
I got the texture thing down pat now, FINALLY! Can Place meshes, can't really seem to scale them well though, but I can't make meshes yet.... I think I can figure that part out.
Anyway, as you all know programming, especially in 3D, is often a one step forward 2 steps back 3 steps forward 5 steps back kind of process. I've been going through this the last 5 days while learning to make this map, but I think I have the majority down and pretty good technique. Now the questions:
1. When I host listening server to have friends test it, it downloads way to slow for them, like .1% every 5 seconds. THe file is only 20 MB. Whats causing it and how can I fix it?
2. Please, give me warnings. What to avoid, what I might be forgetting to do, etc....
I'm taking this a bit seriously and want to avoid disasters.
Thanks webheads.
