The "What are you working on?" thread!

Well, I finally got my greedy hands on the WrackEditor

I think most gamers will recognize the first screenshot below from an oldie but goodie

I'm used to working in HammerWE which has a different way of doing things. I've played with the editor for a couple of hours now and still getting used to the games texture set and feel but setting up geometry has never been easier. I'm having some trouble understanding some of the more advanced features such as (sliding) doors, moving platforms, skyboxes and just a general understanding of how the triggers and flags work. It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction

as for triggers and flags, have the argument the same tag as the object you want it to move/change
sliding doors, choose Door>SlidingDoor
moving platforms should be Door>SlidingDoor, set the activation to somthing like "none" i think, then set it to repeat.
i havent used skyboxes, but i assume make a big box? ._.

hope some of that helps

Reviving this topic a little, I have a few custom models into the game now.

That's just one of the models. It doesn't have textures on it yet because I suck at texturing. That and the model exports with duplicate vertices which seems to cause problems for textures. For which I have no idea why.

Pretty neat there, Datra! What you've got there kind of reminds me of some of the things I'd like to do with E2M1.

Maybe you have open edges. Are you sure it's welded up?

[kristus]

That really shouldn't have any significance, there's plenty of cases where you use parts of models that aren't closed all around.

Move from the other thread:
got a WIP, not sure how much more work i'll do on it though.

Okay so it's not just me. I'll... have a word with our host about this.

Trying to have more windows to outdoor areas, larger rooms, more interesting architecture, etc.

New player character, Gnash?

Redoing the hands and weapon animations.

I like your approach to a bit more different geometry. If I may suggest something, try to get rid of the lights at the very top and have the daylight light it up slightly.

[Carnevil]

How about this?



I'm trying some both wider and taller room/hallway designs. I've been playing through some other games lately (like Quake) looking for pointers, and one of the things I've noticed is that both the ceilings are typically taller and the hallways are typically wider - and you move SLOWER in those games! So, I really feel like Kain needs some more room to run around.

You're doing everything good. I believe TotalBiscuit mentioned this as well.
