lol .

   

   thanks , so i need a yellow snow tut ? or are you kidding me ? .

[PKM]

if you need a tut to make yellow snow, you may want to quit modding and concentrate on nature and involuntary actions instead .

[thingshappen]

Ah what the hell I might as well take a stab at this...

   

   Capture the Christmas Tree is a mod and map I am currently working on... Find the switch, open the gates, nab the tree and run off with it somewhere, I haven't decided yet.

   

   Two days of hard work and I get http://thingshappen.awardspace.co.uk/forums.php?m=posts&q=6&n=last#bottom">this.

   

   I would put seperate links to the images instead of a link to a forum page on my site but my host doesn't like hotlinking...

   

   I'm working on some cvars so you can turn certain things off and on and a pick up and drop script for a Christmas Tree but many months without scripting makes me forget everything to do with it :p...

[PKM]

you got that sky caulk/farplane/farplane_color down real well . i'm diggin watching someone run around with a christmas tree .

[thingshappen]

hehe ty very much, im thinking you win by holding the tree the longest... just trying to sort out the Exceeded MAX POLYS error I get in console when I join a team :con, its absolutely fine in spec. any ideas?

   

   EDIT: Never mind, its the snow...

[JADE]

i can make it snow on any map .

   

   but i did ask how to stop it coming though the buildings , ie roofs , walls and such .

   if i just add a snow script , it falls in the insides of the building and look crap .

   

   if im going to build a map with snow ! from scratch !!!! do i need to do anything to stop the snow entering the buildings ? that's all i need to know for now .

   

   rain also enters the buildings if added after its been built , or the map was not built for rain or snow .

   thats why i am asking first , it may seem daft to some but i find it better to ask first and not after its to late .

   

   thanks

   you mean scripting snow or mapping it? If you are going to map it, you wont have that problem, the rain brushes should be outside the buildings.

looking great Judge, real nice :yes

[STORMnl]

i saw santa ride by in the sky

[thingshappen]

yeah judge, its looking really realistic, love the snow on the roofs :D, should be an interesting DM

[judge817]

still got my animated light textures to throw on the houses yet

   will work on them this week and ss at end of week

   

   

   

   (also need to sort the fps out its crap lol)

[thingshappen]

Just another update on my progress... I have the tree sorted, it has a few errors with the colours and spams the console to hell (any ideas?) but it works, including a timer which counts how long each team has held it (it even changes colours for each team :P), I've added a few lights to the map to add some more atmosphere and I am trying to figure out why the snow spams the console aswell...

   

   Anyways heres some more images. I can put seperate links to the images now :D:

   Almost ready to test a beta on multiplayer to check the script works ok. If this is successful I will sort some bits and pieces out and release it.

   

   EDIT: Doesnt really work in multiplayer, im using a crap script though I have

   

treetrig:
   local.trigger = spawn trigger_use
   local.trigger targetname treetrig
   local.trigger.origin = ( 896.00 -280.00 192.00 )
   local.trigger setsize ( -30 -30 0 ) ( 30 30 80 )
      $treetrig waittill trigger
      local.player = parm.other
      local.player targetname treeuse
   
   if ($treeuse.dmteam == allies)
      {
      level.checkeral = 1
      thread isplayeralive
      thread scoreboard
      setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "captree/img/alliestree.tga"
      }
   if ($treeuse.dmteam == axis)
      {
      level.checkerax = 1
      thread isplayeralive
      thread scoreboard
      setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "captree/img/axistree.tga"
      }
   end

   

   as a trigger which only works for 1 player then stops working, so I need to find a better script so it will work with every player, but apart from that everything seems to be ok.
