peds_pylon

[Pedsdude]

Well, I got fed up of peds_prison for now - too similar to peds_pace in the way that it's a load of identical paths, and I got fed up of having to do everything the same all the way through (for now). I'll continue peds_prison at a later date.

For now, I will announce my new upcoming map, peds_pylon. As the name suggests, it involves an electricity pylon - you have to climb up a pylon, go from one to another, then back down the other side. Here's a little teaser from what I did last night (about 1 hours work):

I'll post updates here and on my maps page, http://peds.codjumper.com/

Kool I'm making a crane/diving board thing for part of my jm_danograd, where you just jump and climb up it (will have 3 places to dive off into the water - the top being the hardest to get to...) but it's taking long to map damn coursework/exams

[Koekie]

looking very nice mate :)

btw. what happened to the sequel of peds_bathroom? :p

[Pedsdude]

lol, peds_sewer got put on hold ages ago

Arg, pretty big problem - I was editing the map fine, then I saved it and closed radiant, ran coduomaker, found out my bsp file was now 5kb in size, opened the .map in radiant, everything is gone apart from a few scriptmodels and spawns. Any ideas? (the .bak file is the same...)

Look in the command box at the bottom of radiant when you first open the map, it probably says "no worldspawn" or something like that..If so, open the map file in notepad make sure the top line has

{
"classname" "worldspawn"

[Pedsdude]

The start of my .map file:

Code: Select all

{
"classname" "worldspawn"
"_color" "0.95 0.95 1.000000"
"sundirection" "-35 195 0"
"suncolor" "0.99 0.98 0.86"
"sunlight" "1.6"
"ambient" ".20"
"sundiffusecolor" "0.94 0.94 1.000000"
"diffusefraction" ".55"
"northyaw" "90"
"origin" "-800 160 40"
}
// entity 1
{
"targetname" "secret-t"
"classname" "trigger_multiple"
// brush 0
{

When I start radiant:

Code: Select all

I've never seen "origin" "-800 160 40" in the worldspawn settings before, try removing it ...and usually all the brushes(non entity) are listed first, then the entities, but i don't know if that could have anything to do with it.

[Pedsdude]

Made no difference... the only brushes/entities in my .map are the ones that appear in radiant.

Sounds to me like.... its fucked

If your map size is 5kb and only the world spawn and entities are shown in notepad, then your map is dead. Sorry.

[Pedsdude]

fuck it, cba to make the pylon again for ages. god i hate mapping...

[Nightmare]

Lol, that happend to me with nm_random, but thanks to luke, I managed to save it.

I've seen it happen a few times where its just simply been the worldspawn missing...but in peds case, its like drofder said its fucked

[Derick]

To be sure you don't lose your map, just save it often with different name ex: first day = peds_puzzle second day = peds_puzzle2 third day peds_puzzle3 etc..
so if the map is deleted you just open the other version and do all again(that's better then nothing..)

[Soviet]

im doin that with my map and its up to 28

[Nightmare]

lol soviet, youve been working on your map for 28 days?
