Does nobody know how to use bspzip?
Also, I have a video made, but uploads for me take too long. Who has a super fast upload for google video? I would much prefer an upload to google video. :D
You should probably look up tutorials if no one is answering.
(I have it but I don't know how to use it so post the tut site if you find one)
Does anyone know how to do a room like the bright white one in construct?
Also gera$e, my part will probably take far to long to include it in this map. I'm very ([b]very[/b]) new to mapping and I'm having a difficult time starting up.
I'm frequent to interlopers to figure stuff out, but I can't figure out what things do by myself.
I need more video tutorials, :lol:

None of the tutorials are updated.

You'll catch on fast. Trust me.

I think for the white room you just made a room textured with the 'lights/white' texture (type 'light' into your filter in the texture browser)
The map has a weird cubemap problem. I'm trying to fix it at the moment. I still need more people to make contributions. I know there are many people working on a section so I would like for them to give me a progress report. :D
[b]Edit:[/b]
Since bspzip is obviously non-functional, I may need to give it to someone who has a working copy of pakrat to do it for me.
My room: 0%
My computers broke. I think my hard drive broke. I'm checking the warranty and other stuff for it. I don't know when it'll be fixed. :(
Well, the map is looking good other than the lack of rooms. I have 3 and that's it. I'm going on a trip but I'll be taking my flash drive with me with the map on it so maybe I'll be able to work on it while I'm away.
OIFY triumph?

So grease, how did you learn to map? I can't even use the bloody clipping tool. Trying to make a door simply bewildered me. Even with the video tutorial and the interlopers tutorials.
I can get basic stuff, like making blocks (WOO :downs:) and texturing them, duplicating, spawning entities and such... but I don't understand the stuff that allows someone to make a good map.
Suggestions, anyone? Should I just screw around with it for a while?
[b]Edit:[/b]
Also, is there a way to render the map to show as it would look in game? The fullbright is annoying, I'm working on a dark room (I haven't put any lights in yet) and want to know how it would look.

Firstly, this thread was made as soon as the poll was closed. Secondly, the OIFY [b]did[/b] win by vote count, but I guess garry thought that the OIFY members were using alts to vote. I can garuntee that music and computers did the same, but I guess the mods just didn't like the idea.
This is just like the elections when Bush became president, except there was probably cheating on both sides in this case. :patriot:

I had the same issues as you when I started. It takes some screwing around and reading tutorials. It took me forever to learn how to use the clipping tool and vertex manipulator together to make a well optimized doorway. [url=www.halfwit-2.com]HalfWit-2[/url] is where I learned how to do all of this. Also, adding any kind of lighting entity in your map will automatically get rid of fullbright. Took me a while for me to figure that out too. ;)
Hammer is very easy to use once you know what the tools do, but it is extremely hard to make something good with it.
Got my little part done. Zip'd is the VMF and .BSP.

Hmm, this is looking nice, you guys should get a SVN for this instead of uploading stuff randomly to filefront though, If there's anything I can help with, just poke me, I have a own SVN server, and got some mapping experience aswell as texture compiling :v:
Hooray I'm unbanned! The map is coming along too. I may not be able to put it together while I'm on my trip, but I can try.
Also, I don't feel like using an SVN. They are nice, but too unstable. I've had my fair share of fucked up SVN databases which ruin entire projects just because I decide to remove something. It's not worth the hassle. I've got things under control. If lots of people want to be doing this at the same time and it is coming at me too fast then I may consider it. ;)

Don't worry. I'm not going to die... yet.
Make sure when you make your section that it may represent some section of the OIFY(whether it be literal or metaphorical).
Like the flame room... Get it? Flame? :laugh:
What are some of the parts of the oify.
Read the OP. :D
I have a list of suggestions and a link to the OIFY itself. :)
[b]Edit:[/b]
[b]Here are some examples from the OP:[/b]
[list]A furry room.
Yes a furry room. The whole deal. From gay furry porn to lesbian sex scenes. I am not trying to set you up with a one-way ticket to hell. This stuff is all over the OIFY whether you wish to accept it or not.[/list]
[list]Meatspin room!
Everyone in the OIFY tries to set each other up with a fake link which goes to meatspin. Since it's a trick, lets make it where you get put into the OIFY room by falling for a trap! Like, "Press this button to win!" and you get teleported to a maze of meatspin![/list]
[list]Porn room.
You knew it was coming. ;)[/list]
[list]Rick Roll'd.
This is a common internet fad which has developed into a trick in the OIFY, so lets make a room dedicated to that as well! Just like the meatspin trap, lets do the same with this. Ever been to that rick roll'd site where you follow all of those pop-ups? Maybe make a section of the map like that. It may involve custom textures, but I could do that.[/list]
[list]Post some ideas! Those were just off the top of my head. Anything you remember being prominent in the OIFY. If you want some inspiration, go to the OIFY and browse a bit. Maybe you'll find something.
[b][url=http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/forumdisplay.php?f=56]Here is the OIFY for anyone who is curious.[/url] Just be carefull. It is not for the fainthearted.[/b][/list]
Also, when this is beta released, does someone want to zip the textures in with this map for me? I can't get bspzip to work and all of those substitutes either don't work for me or aren't updated to ep2.
I can give you the textures and you can zip them in for me. That will appear on the credits list.
I also would appreciate a server to host it. I have a few friends who may be able to but I'm not sure.
Bomp.

I can pack the textures easily in for you, just send them to me.
I'm back on my computer so I can start putting things together again. I just got back from my trip so I am a little out of it. A little dazed. :tizzy:
Make it so you walk into a room that has white textures all around. When they walk in the door closes and Rick roll shows up on every texture in the room. Sound of Rick roll goes on as well.

I haven't learned how to add custom sounds yet. :o
You should mess with faceposer so the Rick Roll room has a NPC dancing.
I've added the water room. I had to replace some textures but everything looks fine. I'm sprucing up the TV room too. :D
[b]Edit:[/b]
I'm running the latest version of the map now! Maybe I'll have time to post some pics but I'm not sure. It's late so I have to get to bed soon. I'm not sure how much time I'll have tomorrow so I don't know what's going to happen.
Also, to those who are making sections:
[b]Please oh please oh please, check your section for leaks![/b]
I cannot stress this point enough! I have to go through hours of work fixing your sections because they are riddled with leaks and problems. It would make things so much easier. Every section I've been given has had many leaks. They are all fixed now, but for those who haven't given me a section yet, please check your map for leaks!
Yes they are your sections, not mine. I have loaded the point files and they are in your sections.
Just wanted to make that clear. :D
You...
You really posted a link... to the OIFY?
My god, man. [b]WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?[/b]
Now it's gonna get more lame.
[QUOTE=grea$emonkey]I haven't learned how to add custom sounds yet. :o[/QUOTE]
You just have to put them in your sounds folder. If that doesn't work try making a folder named Oify or Custom or whatever and put the sounds in there. If that still doesn't I don't know what to do and you should just look for a tutorial.
