myk Posted November 14, 2006 I tried reading some of the feature but by the second page I was turned off due to having to wait over a minute for the lame snow effect to load on each page, so I voted CRAP for Great Justice and went on with my life. If you remove that (assuming something else isn't causing the delay, but I doubt it) maybe the site will be navigable. 0 Share this post Link to post
scwiba Posted November 14, 2006 Neat, but I think you missed one of the most important things -- proper texturing. Meaning alignment, avoiding ugly cutoffs, which textures to use as dividers, and coordinating flats with wall textures. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dutch Doomer Posted November 15, 2006 Got this lag as well some of the screens don't work or I get some forbidden message when clicking on them. Nice tuts anyway ill read some more later :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Tormentor667 Posted November 15, 2006 Bad, looks like I need to fix here and there something, but I will do as soon as chapter 2 is finally finished... in the next few minutes ;) @Roney - Could you be more precise on some of these? I could add these as well then :) Concerning the snow effect: Just choose another design from the list at the right menue. It is only included in the xmas template 0 Share this post Link to post

scwiba Posted November 15, 2006 Okay, here's what I was referring to. When texturing, paying attention to things like: Alignment - Everyone probably knows what I mean here anyway, but if a wall turns a corner or is for some reason divided into two more more linedefs, make sure the texture still looks smooth and unbroken. (example in first screenshot) Cut-off - Make sure the texture you're using looks correct on the wall that you're putting it on. For example, STARTAN ends properly on a wall that is 56, 128, or 72 units tall (if lower unpegged), but not 64 or 96. You can also have the problem going horizontally, texturing a 64 unit wall with a texture that is 128 units long, etc. (example in first shot) Dividers - What can be used to separate two clashing textures. Support2 and 3, etc. (example in both shots) Flat/texture coordination (Materials) - Be certain that on a step, border, or any sector that has a height variation, the flat on the top or bottom reflects the "material" that the object is supposedly made out of. A lot of beginners make this mistake and this is the hardest one to explain. (example in second shot) 0 Share this post Link to post
Tormentor667 Posted November 15, 2006 Okay, I know what you mean. Some of this issues are in the second article btw :) Thx for the explanation though! 0 Share this post Link to post
