2/17 - I launched a new site layout today.  New broct site.

2/12 - Worked on tunnel system today.  Map is really starting to come together.  I should be getting ready for a play test soon, and then I'll be able to add more detail.  Cliff detal will be the next big step, and then the spawn areas.

2/10 - I have been working on my part of the map at www.dsleeper.net.  I have also re-done the textures for my church.  You can see a screen shot below the map to the right.

2/3 - I sketched out the Red Spawn Area.  Just need to do detail work.  Blue Spawn still needs some lovin, and I'm at a lost with direction there.  The new sketch should provide enough information as what has been updated.  The detail will be low in blue and red spawn, and med - high at church area.  R_Speeds are looking good in church area.

I stoped working on my map today, and I have begun working on my section of the map at http://www.dsleeper.net.  I have been using a new cliff style, thanks to Archer, and I will deploy it in my section of the map.

Oh, yeah GO Patriots! - I guess I'll be drinking beers instead of mapping this afternoon.  heh

1/31 - I have been jerking off the past few days.  I needed to step away from my map.  I plan on redoing my church/ town area again. After playing a few FA maps, I felt my town sucked. I have added some prefabs, and it's given me some new inspiration.  R_speeds are down into 500-650 range on avg, and I'm still working on bringing that down.

1/26 - I moved the site to this new host...  It was lagging on the other host.

1/25 - I worked on my wad file today, and sharpened all the images up a bit after talking with Chainsaw.  I will post an updated wad section later this weekend.  I also finished my first sky which can be see above.  I will add that to the download section, and write my first tut on making skys.  I have my son this weekend, so have a great weekend.

1/24 - Started doing R&D for dsleeper.net's mapping project.  You can follow the progress here in the forums. 

1/23 - I saw a preview of The Count of Monte Cristo last night, and it was pretty good.  It was a bit on the long side, and I had to yell at some punk high school kids to shut the F up during the movie.  All and all I'd see it again.

On the map front, I have cleaned up all my overlapping brushes. Not that there were many. I'm still working on the beach.  I need to do something with the repeating wall texture; it's making me sick. 

I added a few textures to my wad file, and I made a small image gallery.  I also experimented with a few texures.

1/22 - Got asked to join the mapping project over at dsleeper.net today.  I look forward to expanding my mapping skills. Thanks Dsleeper!

I started working on the cliffs today, and started breaking the floor into many triangles.  Anyways this is slow going.

I got to pre-view and play test Chainsaw's map sdtc_balcome6.  He has made a lot of sweet new changes, and I'm sure the next beta release will be hella bad. 

1/21 - Made some updates to the site.  Worked on Blue Base.

1/20 - Made a lot of changes today.  The biggest change was lowering the average visible leafs 432 to 225.  Started working on the path to the beach.

1/19 - Downloaded a bunch of new wads, and after reading this thread by chainsaw I cleaned up my map by lowering  wpoly and raising fps.  Also discussed rendering issues I had with Chainsaw, and went back to the drawing board.  Started seeing some really nice changes.

1/18 - First public screen shots and Thread from FA Forums

Mission:
  • Complete this map ;)
  • Document steps of development to maybe aid other people in creating maps.  I've see a lot of tutorials, but none really lay out the thought process of creating a map.  Not that I have the first clue, but by asking questions in the forums I am ( I think ) making progress.  So let's see where this goes...
