Title: This is what I do when I am bored in the evenings
Post by: benmachine on June 25, 2007, 05:15:32 pm: http://www.bandstand.org.uk/~benm/trem/tiny/

Have a browse. The first few are a bit washed out because I tried to artificially lighten them, but I gave up after a while.
No, I'm not releasing, I've had quite enough horribly messy and basically broken mods to my name kthx. The Epic Overmind or Miniturret may yet appear in another release of my mod though.

Post by: benmachine on June 25, 2007, 10:04:09 pm: Such a positive reaction ^_^ you guys are too kind

But I'd like to at least get some real testing in, work out some proper values and take my time, this time - because I know now with my mod server crashing periodically for no reason I can fathom and full of all kinds of inadequacies and inaccuracies, patience is a virtue.

Raytray - this is kind of the point. While it would be undeniably fun to muck around in old maps with your new ant-sized dretches, there are countless opportunities for glitchery and getting stuck. It's easy to fall out of Karith's bridge, for example. The maps were simply not designed for it.

Post by: benmachine on June 25, 2007, 11:17:10 pm: OKAY BUT WAIT

consider these early dev shots, a lot of work is needed to make it "proper" small (speeds and projectiles and pmoves, oh my)

Post by: Warrior on June 26, 2007, 01:06:16 am: Big maps would solve that problem, instead of decreasing model sizes.

(Actual sizes are fine for me though)

What are you running the server on? If it is a mac, try running a the .dylib and see what it turns out in the error report.

It's not a mac and not strictly speaking for no reason - it's just such a bizarre bug I have no idea from where it arises or even how to begin to fix it.

Post by: Raytray on June 26, 2007, 05:10:36 pm: Heh, put this mod in transit, put on relics too. And all I need to do is find the MD, and the trans-locate relic. Havoc!!!

Yeah, I see what you mean, at first, I could barely recognize your screenshots hehe.

Post by: /dev/humancontroller on July 13, 2007, 01:21:28 pm: If you decrease the model sizes instead of increasing the maps, the unit sizes will remain the same, and you may have integer snapping or rounding errors along with some forgotten/missed changes.

Post by: E-Mxp on July 13, 2007, 08:22:17 pm: Mini-dretches running for 5 min to get to the default human base?

Cool!!! :D Benmachine, your mods are Awesome!!1

Post by: ShadowNinjaDudeMan on July 14, 2007, 11:22:39 am: The MD will be like...uber!

5 mins before they reach you you can be piping the ace.

But it would be cool.

Vents= hallways

Post by: Overdose on July 15, 2007, 05:42:21 am: I wonder, since all of the buildables are smaller, does this decrease lag? Try making your mini base with 1000 bp's and lets see what kind of lag you get...
Title: This is what I do when I am bored in the evenings
Post by: TinMan on July 15, 2007, 06:15:41 am: They're still the same size to you, it just appears that the map is larger, and larger maps = more lag, so this would be weird...
Title: This is what I do when I am bored in the evenings
Post by: Ceaser342 on July 15, 2007, 03:38:52 pm: The map isn't larger your smaller..... Could you imagine a transit map big enough to make you see 3 inchs tall? The lag.... *Shudders*
