Things are looking pretty damn good Mr Burns. I do have one point of criticism though. The color you chose for the "distance water" is awkward. The color should be a darker version of the color of water you are in. Your water (due to it's environment) is a dark grey and therefore the distance should look more like this

If you are using RGB 0000FF try 333338

It definitely looks better but, the color I gave you still isn't right. It was kind of a shot in the dark ... a guess made by eyeballing it. If you look at the water above you ... the darkest color is the one you need. I might need to immediately edit this post after this guess but, it looks more like a barely green blue-grey and quite dark so how about start with the dark

[333333] <- just a starter number and now pull back the red, barely jump the green and make the blue just a hair more than the green #2c383a or rgb(44, 56, 58)

Here's a good reference. Notice how the distance color matches the darkest colors on the "under-surface" of the water, with just a hair of extra blue. However, your water is in "grey land" (not a lake) so, you probably wouldn't have any extra blue in your case.

Things are looking really good, Mr. Burns. I wanted to say that I have not forgotten that I said I would remake your armor. It's in my incredibly extensive list of things to do and I promise that before we are both dead I will do what I said. Your game seems to still be heavily in development so, the expedience rating I have given my promise is very low ATM. I am starting to get an itch to play with some blender, though. You can be sure when I start scratching that itch your armor will be exactly how I do it.

You changed the overall color of the water so, now the distance fog doesn't match. Your water is now a blue-grey instead of a green-grey. You should probably finalize everything about underwater first and then use the "average color" thing I explained in an earlier reply to get your distance fog the proper color. I can't give you a proper color if you are going to change the color of everything. I fully understand you are still ironing out the look and feel of everything. I'm just pointing out that we could change the distance fog a hundred times and they will all be wrong if you change the color of the entire environment.

Keep up the excellent work, sir.

I think everything you are doing is coming along nicely. Nobody here is a professional. When you take that into consideration your work is amazing. I think the water looks better at the lighter tones. Let me ask you, is that map an .obj? If so, I will include .obj in my map thingy I am making so you can use it too.

I have to check but, I want to say that FBX was in the supported formats for my API. It's only this Quake 1 shit that I have to program in myself. Md2, Md5, Obj, 3DS .... on and on all are all already supported.

If there is something I need to do to allow you to post unity games here just let me know. Although, I wouldn't recommend ever posting your entire game here. My host specs are too low. It would run like shit and take the rest of your life to load. However, if everyone wants to chip in for 179$ a month I'll get us a server that's capable of doing anything you could ever imagine.

Of course I would host it. I'll do whatever you want. You might have to write me a mini tutorial on what it is exactly that I need to do but, I'll do it. I can create a sub domain for you and create some page completely outside of wordpress for your game to live. Because I trust the hell out of you, I can give you sftp access to my server and you can do whatever you need to the page.

oot.nextgenquake.com?
mrburns.nextgenquake.com?

You tell me. Before I do anything I want to figure out if I can make specific sftp credentials for you. Also, if we do this I need you to IMMEDIATELY check after installing/upgrading anything that you have not broken the entire site. I have broken the entire site like 50 times (:D LMAO). It's OK if you break it, as long as you unbreak it (ie...delete whatever you uploaded). We'll figure it out. As long as all you are doing is uploading/deleting/whatever to your subdomain there is nothing you can do to DESTROY the site but, you can definitely break it. I broke it with a loop that runs way too many iterations.

Cool, thanks MG. Please don't do anything yet as a) this will need more thorough testing to see if it would even be viable, b) you have a lot of other stuff on your plate, and as I've said before c) even the mighty MG needs a break :)

I'll probably tweak the memory settings a little more and release a link to a demo people can mess around with it in their browser.  I suppose the memory requirement is the penalty for using modern HD textures and particle effects (sigh). When/If the game is ever approaching completion I plan to have Linux and Mac versions available using the same process but more on that later ;)

Right, back to my crossbow.

Kind regards

Mr.B

Hi Quakers,

I'm still working on this, bit by bit, and thought I would share with you the latest Work in Progress addition to my little project...

Can any of you keen eyed quakers tell what it is based on yet?

.. and you find the strangest things on Quake Levels when you look hard enough...

:)

I can't take credit for the level design as that belongs to the talented MFX and American Magee, but it is fun getting it to a playable state on a different engine.

All the best

Monty

Hi Zop,

It's nice to see you and welcome to NextGenQuake :)

Well as you know I tried quite hard to drum up some interest in playing DMP, I even persuaded the very generous Polarite to very kindly host a server at New York ...which is still up. However in all honesty other than the odd 1 or 2 players I just didn't get any sense of demand from the player base and rather than just sit there twiddling my thumbs I changed my focus. It's still to learn what I can in Game Development but using newer tools to take the best of what I have seen thus far and travel in a similar direction.

I'm more than happy to try and help you with whatever I can with Unity but please bear in mind that I'm only a comparative newbie and I don't have your extremely high level of expertise and extensive background. So I guess what I'm saying is be gentle :)  What is it you are having trouble with?

Thank you for the feedback, it's little observational things like this that I need to hear before I finalise the levels. I can't take credit for the map design as at the moment these are ports of other peoples designs, and credit is given in game, but I will take those very helpful suggestions on board and will try to modify the maps to look a little less unnatural. At the moment its my first pass at this and I'm adding in a small selection of popular maps and a few weapons which I will them revisit in my 2nd pass to try and improve everything.  Unfortunately since May of this year real life seems to be throwing me problem after another but I'm hoping things will settle down during / after christmas and I can give a little more of my time to this.

So please keep the suggestions coming, it really is appreciated and I will act on them.

Kind regards

Monty
