Switching from source to unreal (for some fun!)

[LATTEH]

Ahh!

Ahh!

im sorry for being slow. but i would say im almost done detailing (i will go into finer detailing for small objects like random bottles and stuff like that)

its just been taking me longer then i want because of constant errors in the bsp and searching for those errors or ways of doing things in unrealed lol

but the lighthouse is detail (inside is not yet) the brick is a place holder untill i make a tilable texture with the white/red strip going up in a twirl



i made a fresnel light for the top of the lighthouse and made the area for the trader!



finished the porch (except for the steps *waves fist*)



made a tillable fence mesh (well its a start into making tillable meshes)



if anyone wants they can suggest to make details in any area or if they want i would be more then willing to upload it to a website for download and some testing!

 

[ro_sauce]

are you gonna put a detail texture layer on wood and stuff? (aka faux bumpmapping)

[LATTEH]

Well im sorry i didn't show my work lol i try to post something each week but sometimes i forget or i feel like i just didnt get enough made well anyways i have a ton to post!

I made the tileable texture for the lighthouse



detailed the deck on the diner (what can i say its a fancy diner )



some details to the gazebo



More work in the diner, added a buffet with snease guards and a que pole with for some reason i really like the look of it lol




small details on the sournier shop (still need to texture and add props)




Detailed the boat house on the dock by spawn




inside



well thats it so far

i keep getting the error: CreateTexture failed(8007000E)


it seems to happen after a short period of time idk if its my drivers tho if anyone can shed some light on the error or how to fix i will love you

also is it possible to make the time long for the trader? mine are spread apart really far and if you are in the light house and you have to get to the trader on the dock you will never make it. so is there a way i can make it longer?

i dont know if someone can help me here i wanted to set up a home hosted server and run my map on it but i seem to not be able to find it in the master list. i opened up all the ports to my firewall/router can anyone help me?

 

[LATTEH]

ive gotten more detail done and started todo some lighting

the outside of the house is pretty much detailed,finished the back yard



i did a little bit of the kitchen (can anyone recommend anything to add?) i learned how to make specular for my textures (i just loled when i found out i could all this time D: )




i dont know what i should do with the living room any recommendations?



Working on the lighting in the museum



some moar lighting work, ive been looking at other KF maps to learn some lighting tricks



Ive also been getting this error i have no idea why or how to stop it!

i thought it was my terrian (since thats the only thing i have in the Mylevel package) then i read it was cause of drivers but that didnt help. i turned pre-caching off that didnt work either can anyone help me? (im not getting any errors when i play the map ingame)

Nah, i was able to see the pictures, but they were so small...
For the kitchen, idk, to me it seems like there's not enough space to add anything in particular to the left wall so I would keep it that way. And for the living room, I think you could simply put a flickering lamp somewhere ^^

For the error message, it says ''create texture failed''... I aint no pro with the SDK, but maybe it has something to do with a custom texture.

 

[LATTEH]

idk if its a custom texture. i thought it was a texture in mylevel.utx but i dont have anything in there...

most of the time it happens right after i save the level some times it happens when i fly thro geometry other times it happens when i look the other way (it only seems to happen when i move the camera aka 3d viewport)

 

[Benjamin]

Looks really nice.

 

[LATTEH]

Looks really nice.

Thanks Man!


Edit: i think i fixed my crashing problem. it was because the editor was using to much memory because i never compressed my textures :O Olivier You were right! it was custom textures! so now im not crashing! YAY! (well so far! )

DamDam, is that you?
Seriously though, you can be proud of the lighting. It really came out beautiful.

 

[LATTEH]

Thank you very much! lighting is my favorite part to do... idk i just have so much fun doing it


you made my day

 

[LATTEH]

Well since i dont really have much of a way to thank you guys. so i wanted to give you all the textures and models i made for this level.

Ill include them in the final (maybe beta if its not to big)

Heres all the textures and models i made/downloaded. all the ones i downloaded (well most of them) are from cgtextures i also tryed to edit them a good amount. (some of the textures are for the models and terrain i wish i had a better way to show them to you!)




Most of the models are useful some of them were specific for geometry and stuff so idk if i will include those (unless someone requests them)

Ill also (sometime down the road) convert them to source for Other people can you them.

Wish that i could play the map
