Me my self Ducky as i am called and Ytram are currently asking permission to continue on with the StarGate command map from plague bringer to finish his map. We were wondering who would like to see this map completed as we know that there were a few people that did? Also do you have any suggestions for this map that are doable and where would you like the StarGate to go? We were thinking of making it connect to the aliens home world where they live in a giant living organism on an alien planet. We were thinking that team work would be required to activate to StareGates. we have so many ideas ready for the project and are ready to take on the job. we will try to put in as many of your ideas as possible. Hope to hear some replies.
From Ducky and Ytram.

We are happy to announce that we will be working on this map and look forward to completing it when we can. We have many new ideas to add and may add some of your ideas if you have any.
Also does anyone know of any good and free .md3 editors?

blender???

Yes!
We were thinking that team work would be required to activate to StareGates.
Um... What's teamwork?

Blender is good but it takes some time to master it. User interface, for example, is far from 'standard'.
-
UG Jake has made an epic stargate map.... i dont think he released it to general public though ill see if i can get him to show some bits for you guys, maybe give some ideas
-
Thanks purenoob for your opinion.
By teamwork we mean one player activates the stargate in the conrol room and the others go through it. However i don't think that it will be required anymore because the stargate will stay open long enough and the aliens will have a DHD.
I now have blender and it does look confusing. From what i understand i need python scripts, which i have. I will look at that later.
And thankyou nubcake that would be great.

Here are some screenshots of the alien sections of the Stargate Command map. This is still work in progress. there are still many bugs to be fixed and some things are not quite placed correctly in the right position but the main idea is still there.
*Devshots removed because they are ugly and nobody likes them.*
please give some feed back on these ideas cause we want this to be good as it can be. We will still need to give credits to the textures that we borrowed and are using temporarily or they may be permanent. The human base and the main StarGate Command is slowly being updated with fixes in detailing then features and extra detail will be added.

Please change the brightness and at least add some light sources inside.

MY EYES HAVE BEEN BURNED OUT OF MY
SKULL

I think its an awesome looking map
-
Thanks nubcake!
Sorry the images were too bright, they were a bit rushed.
The trees are bright anyway.
We can take better ones later maybe when it's more complete.
I hope these updates are better.

Please keep in mind this is still work in progress

its still looks as if you havent compiled with light...
-

When mapping, you learn to never rush. Take time with everything, go the extra step to make it look as good as it can.
-
Yes next time show your most finished best spot !
-
1. Something is wrong with whatever software you use to make/transform those pictures
2. Very repetitive textures. All of them
3. Just because it is an ugly texture, it doesn't mean it has to be alien
4. You need to find a skilled artist. Really
-
Looking up and implementing some tutorials on how to use light will do wonders to that map.
-
Lights have not been added to the map yet because it is still in progress. It is not yet finished.
The screenshots were taken with F11 and were produced by the game.
At the time the gamma must have been too high, a mistake which caused them too go too bright.
The idea was to show the maps progress and if the idea was any good. It will look better later.
Ytram and Ducky.
-
....It is not yet finished. ....
so why show it to us?
-
To see if you liked the idea and where it was going.
We want to know what people want/what they think of the map during the building process so we don't have to change it too much after it is finished.
I realise that this section of forums is intended for releases and not work in progress. I am sorry for this but ducky posted it here without realising that fact.
Where should it have gone? Other Mapping Related Material? Mapping Help Center? Other suggested topic?
-
Here's the idea. Make those rooms look so uber leet (pipespam, prefab spam, anything spam), with epic lighting etc, (unless you're physically incapable of doing so) then post screenshots to blow the public's mind. ;)
-
if you want us to see an initial preview of the map to get our views, don't taint them by making a map that looks like something i could probably create by opening /dev/urandom in radiant.

Firstly, Arch cut them some slack, stop being a Smack Tard. Their just trying to make the map as good as it possibly can get. By showing devlopment pictures, people can put their opinons so Ytram and Ducky can improve the map based on peoples comments. As i know both Ytram and Ducky personally, and i am going to be one of the main testers of this map. They will improve it as i've seen them hard at work on this map during school, instead of doing what their meant to be doing. So if you have questions or comments or even just going to have a go at them, think of this.... THIS MAP IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT.

I'm not sure you understand. To most people, I have to say, one huge, bright box is just bad looking. Until you get good looking things, you will just be flamed. If your face and brain had released "development shots" in their own thread back when they first started they would have been flamed too, because it was UGLY. (No offence guys. ;) ) When you have some pictures you truly think look good, than try to get people interested. Right now... I don't know how you can expect anything else, honestly.
-
what he said.
-
OK, OK. We were just posting dev shots because we were wanting to see if the idea looked good. We were not really trying to impress you, not yet anyway.
I suppose that idea failed. :(
From now on we will only post shots that we think look good enough.
Thanks for your part-cooperation.
Ytram, Ducky, and Turboman.

Who would like to see the StarGate Command map finished?
Me, but currlently it looks like... piece of crap. You REALLY need some better mappers... I see no shadows here, trees are white, no details... Can I help you with this? It's good idea for map for me.

The Father? WTF? I go to school with them, Ytram and Ducky are even older than me!
And Redman we've only just started. As of yet, we don't have the right textures for everything, probably from nothing. we're just trying to get the shape first so we know basically what its going to look like. We understand that there's a lot more to do, a lot! But with shadows and details, ect, thats stuff thats put in when the basic shape and colour's are done, am i not right? as for working on it, i cannot give you that answer. you'd have to ask Ducky or Ytram, or just wait for one of them to relpy.
And i thank the one supportful person who's replied:
I think its an awesome looking map
See? nubcake see's that its STILL IN DEVELOPMENT and still has something nice to say, Thanks.
Turboman, Ducky, Ytram.

"supportful person" = blind? ???
;D
keep working on it, next time don't post something that you've only just started. :)
-

I do agree with this. Though Ducky had good intentions. Now, is there any more questions, Comments, or Ideas for the map that people would like in the map?
Turboman, Ducky, Ytram.

Thaks for covering that Turbo.
Those 1st stage devshots were a bad idea, we know that now. I am going to remove mine and suggest Ducky do the same. Ducky just wanted to know what the people thought of the map in it's first stages to get an idea of what you want and for ideas to improve it as well as other reasons previously posted. We realise now all you really want is a finished map that looks good and plays well. That is what we plan to deliver to the best of our abilities, when it is finished.
The part of the map that you saw was mapped only by ducky. I had not even touched it. My part of the map is still being worked on and was not shown (and it won't be until it's worthy i promise).
Please, no more comments on the crappy devshots.
Who would like to see the StarGate Command map finished?
Me, but currlently it looks like... piece of crap. You REALLY need some better mappers... I see no shadows here, trees are white, no details...
Please don't assume i'm a bad mapper, you haven't seen my work yet. Besides it is in its first stages, Ducky will make it better. There are no lights yet only ambient, so because ambient light does not produce shadows, there aren't any. The trees and other bad textures/models are only just temporaries i assume. Ducky said a lot of textures and models weren't going to stay.
Can I help you with this? It's good idea for map for me.
Sorry but i would like to do my part myself, at least for now.
