Oh my, you're right about the waterfall... wow, that makes me feel funny.

For the material, with wings it should always have at least the default material at the top. All you have to do is take out everything but the name and end, and then put in your own material (Of course, that is if you want the whole thing to be the same material). Also, you can just add materials in...

Nice map! My only problem is that its way too easy to die... I was playing against someone today, and the score ended up as something like -6 to -18. And we never shot each other. Also, when you throw the flag, its pretty much impossible to get. And why are there drivethrough blocks on that pathway ...

Very nice! The only things is, would it be possible to make the waterfall with a moving texture?

I'm interested in seeing how it plays.

Oh... There already is one.

I don't think I quite understand what you mean... Are you talking about SW ww zones? That would be a bit weird...

Without lighting, it really is hard to see for certain things... but I don't really know how to fix that. My main problem is that the walls aren't flat, so ricochets don't work very well on them... i can't find the wall meshes, so I can't flatten them.

Quantum Tank- Technically, there are no textures. I just have materials with the different colors. I'll think about putting things in there, but what should I put? Maybe some chairs for the table.
Also, I think that I'll try adding a closed door...

I've finally finished the kitchen map. It includes windows, but no door. I guess thats its the type of kitchen that you don't leave... It took me a while to get every flat surface flat (finally figured out that I always have to use "flatten" with Wings3D), and then a bit more time to get t...

I spawned on the diving board the other day. I decided to savor the moment, and then I finally jumped off.

Oops, I've figured it out now. But I have another problem. I've edited my post.

I have a problem with Wings3D now... There are big spaces by some objects that you just can't drive too. Can anyone explain how to fix this?
Once I get this fixed, I should be able to finish my kitchen map.

I'm just about done, I just have a problem with large un-accessible spaces.

I have a problem with this on my maps so far... Its quite hard to keep the map simple for certain things.

You can use the URL of other people's textures, but for many things its best to ask permission first.

hmm... looks like I wrote it wrong. Sorry!

death pyramid:
and yes you can make a material with just color.

The idea is still kitchen. Its like a bigger louman's home sweet home with (maybe) slight more detailed but not as good looking appliances and only one room. And thats not the name.

Oh, and is there a way to simply make a material that says something like this? material name example_material texture example_texture end Well, it should actually be: material name example_material texture http://example_URL end Just in case you didn't already know that. Indenting is always good t...

Its pretty interesting. I was trying the map this morning. But why do you stick to the side when you jump against it? It seems to be at a slight angle...

Yes. My idea for the next map is Kitchen, using the fridge in it. But for now its just empty fridge. At the beginning I was even thinking of Fridge CTF DW: I don't know about map object... it would have to be a pretty big map because scaling the fridge would cause not being able to jump through the ...

I think I'll try the full fridge idea.
Grace, how do you define "too smooth"?

My latest map, made mostly using Wings3D, with a bit of coding by hand. (I have to remember to make flat surfaces using Wings... My flat surfaces are never flat, so I have to add meshes and meshboxes). The fridge is not completely empty, there is a red can thing in there. Also, it's possible to go f...

Quite nice, I like it. But why the waterlevel?

I tried running it (just to test) and I got this: warning (line 22): unknown object parameter "team" - skipping warning (line 28): unknown object parameter "team" - skipping warning (line 34): unknown object parameter "team" - skipping The same went for line 40, 48, 56,...
