Hi

I know this isn't a completed game, but this is the first 3DWS level I actually got into DBP so I'm pretty happy.

I guess I have nothing to lose by posting it here and getting some feedback. (Sorry Fallout)

The actual level itself might look wierd to you because the concept behind it is "Zero-Gravity Gameplay". Those neon glow roads will eventually allow people to run up walls, and maybe even 360 degrees around the level. (Whatever the programmer Fallout thinks of in his messed up little head)

It's also locked at 60fps.

Download:
http://www.bouncyrock.com/Anti-grav.rar
(Selectet the "Launcher" icon)

Screen:




The usual boring level specs:

11k poly
37 textures (512x512)
16 lightmaps (512x512)

Why does it come with inca pro?

I've had problems with these white bits on this Intel GPU with one of the IncaPro demo worlds too what is it you place in these positions?

My FX5200 was returning about 45fps and looked ok

I could climb back up one the bends in the middle but the 'S' bend at either edge of the room seemed too steep to climb. I couldn't find a jump button either

Looking spanky as usual Megaton, though would it hurt to add wasd control? (I think I'll get arteritis if I keep having to twist my arm to use arrow buttons and mouse.) I get average of about 40 fps (AMD athlon 1600+ (~1.4 GHz), 512 Mb RAM, radeon 9600 pro. I get 30 fps looking in some directions. Is the lightmap a separate object with ghosting, or can 3DWS actually export DBO objects with lightmaps? If the former is the case I won't be too worried about the frame rate, otherwise, 40fps is kind of worrying with not much going.

Good job on the map otherwise. The scene seems to look lighter when you look up, and darker when you look down. Is this effect intentional?

i agree... nice map... maybe a few elevator here and there, a sliding door or two, and a couple of connected areas that the tunnels lead to, could be added... then you'll have a super level, ready for the player and their weapons

oh yeah... definitely WASD controls and jump functionality

GatorHex: Woaw that looks wierd. Dunno why the light is so weak and where the white patchs came from.

It's a DBO object - the lightmap is in the DBO.

That's up to you to decide - if it doesn't look bad, then it's fine.

All in time.

Also please note the Inca Pro launcher & movement code was coded by Josh K who for some reason doesn't like jump functions & WASD movement. I am no coder, so if any one of you guys want to take that source and change it around, I would appriciate it.

Looks very nice, just waiting on getting money so I can get 3D world studio.

Inca pro is very dark for me one all levels I try, I'll see if the ATI Catalyst Center app can do anything to brighten them up

got 3d world editor thingy with dbp last night. Still trying to learn how to build a map as good as you . also, when i loaded it in inca pro, i fell through the floor. Is it because I haven't set up a start point? or because teh floor is only a 1 sided plain, or am I just a douchebag and not setting up something

Make a light entity, rename to playerstart, position where you want player to start.

Usually on a high place where they have a choice to plummet to their death.

Very nice. I get steady 60fps and textures all look good
on my new Gateway 64x2/nVidia 6100 integrated graphics.
Looks like 3DWS is going to be a "must have."

Very cool. Only thing is, I noticed a part on the ground where one of the floor boards is raised up slightly higher than the floor next to it, leaving a gap where nothing draws over it, if you know what I mean. Maybe you should put a little wall there to cover it up.

haha. Only just noticed this post. Eh, no probs with you posting this thing up mate. It was your own experimental creation for an experimental idea. Fair play to ya. You didn't give the game away too much anyway .... ....

Just so long as you keep a certain something else under your hat! We can't be spoiling the surprise of that one until the horror is fully unleashed like the deadly plague it embodies.
