[QUOTE=Rory;34091129][b]I ONLY MADE THE PHYSICS![/b][/QUOTE] What is this supposed to mean?

[QUOTE=~ZOMG;34180952]What is this supposed to mean?[/QUOTE] It means he didn't make the particle effect. He added the trigger_push and all that to the actual tornado particle.

[QUOTE=Firegod522;34180845] Also another thing that has me worried is have the water. You essentially are drawing the tornado twice.[/QUOTE] Yep, the water caused skippyness issues. It was removed.

I cannot wait to see the F5 in action. Also, Rory, is there any type of guide out there to make something like your tornado probe? I'm still a noob at wire.

You might be able to find a wire guide. Mine is very simple, it's a speedometer to a two way radio to the monitor. It took me a few hours to learn wire but if you follow some of the tutorials on the wire wiki, you should be able to get it. My probe is extremely simple. The map is on it's final stretch. We're touching up the scenery, making the buildings destructible, touching up the 3d Skybox, and Vman may add a few more particles. Expect a release next week.

is there any way you can make the drain pipe a little more round instead of stop sign shaped?

[QUOTE=confinedUser;34216277]is there any way you can make the drain pipe a little more round instead of stop sign shaped?[/QUOTE] Not without ruining the integrity of the displacements around it. Can't make them small enough to hold to the pipe already as it is. The world would poke through it, there will be gaps, etc.

Hopefully this gets finished unlike Monkeyjoe's tornado map

There is no doubt in my mind that this will be finished. The first map came out, and it looks like this one is near completion. So I say there's nothing to worry about, bro! Unless his hard drive dies or something. MAKE BACKUPS ON FLASH DRIVES

[QUOTE=supercopter;34217505]Hopefully this gets finished unlike Monkeyjoe's tornado map[/QUOTE] It's almost finished right now. We just have to add a few more things. Also, there is more than 1 person who has copies of the map in case I do get the "abandonment fever". So if I do abandon this, someone else has it. [QUOTE=Evil Dead;34217603] Unless his hard drive dies or something. MAKE BACKUPS ON FLASH DRIVES[/QUOTE] Backed up two times.

Release it now! That is an order.

I've decided that I'm going to remake what I can of Twister with these maps [that one picture of the F5 in the OP is almost the exact same angle you see when Jonas is driving alongside it when the camera pans over a field]. You got any other plans/ideas for a tornado-themed map?

Maybe you should work on the art direction a bit more. Spice it up. Right now it just looks dull. You need to have some sort of color correction going on when the tornado is near by. You need to work on the buildings a bit more, some of the terrain. Just to spice it up. I know that there is a constraint on it based on number of particles drawn and all that.

[QUOTE=Burgervich;34218124]Release it now! That is an order.[/QUOTE] Sure, if you want a half-assed map with tons of bugs.

All this map needs is a Dodge Ram. Awesome!

Now I can enact my Twister fueled fantasies.

Release date will be pushed back a little bit to work on detail. Map is pretty "plain" right now. Thanks for your patience and understanding. - Keep the feedback coming! This map is only as good as its feedback.

You should work longer on it, make it less blocky and make it bigger, maybe as big as flatgrass? I don't care if I have to wait another month, This just has to be good. Also, try playing around with the lighting, it looks really out of place and doesn't fit. also, 3d skybox maybe?

Also, minor suggestion. When chasing the twister, you should make it play a soundtrack from Twister Most action packed is "We Got Cows" at 08:21 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR2PZKqe4oA&hd=1&t=8m32s[/media]

[QUOTE=pip12345;34227965]You should work longer on it, make it less blocky and make it bigger, maybe as big as flatgrass? also, 3d skybox maybe?[/QUOTE] It's almost the size of the grid already. 1024 units from the edge. There's a 3d skybox in the newest version [QUOTE=Hardpoint Nomad;34228052]Also, minor suggestion.

Rory did you get my PM?

Any chance of a teaser trailer to bide us until release? But yeah, it's turning out great. And I agree with everyone else-make it not so "plain" [but I definitely think it's way better than the first] How'd the lightning turn out?

Going to push back the release, had a busy week. Not giving up, just pushing it back.

Rory I have a question, How big will the suck zone be (Not the technical term.)? And how much force will the suck zone have?

[QUOTE=flamester370;34280098]Rory I have a question, How big will the suck zone be (Not the technical term.)? And how much force will the suck zone have?[/QUOTE] It's as realistic as I could make it. The progress video should demonstrate it. If not I'll be making a third progress video for each of the tornadoes.
