Title: New map - vacation


NTG56 - September 21, 2004 10:25 PM (GMT)
While staying at this neat cottage while on vacation i had the idea that it would be a cool idea to try to draw a map of the place with the intent of makeing it into a CQ map. I realized that i would need a ton of custom textures, and that it would take me forever to draw.....so i decied to take pictures of stuff. I now have the idea that if i was to make everything the same size as the pics themselves; 640X480, 1024X768, the game would be unplayable as everything would be too big!

What i would like to know is is it not possible to simply increase the players viewheight, etc. so eveything is in proportion? Woulndnt the high-res grafix kick @$$? :wow:

One other idea i had, at this cottage, u can go walk on the beach and theres this really awsome view of the sound and Bainbridge island, would it not be possible to create a huge wall and simply stick this texture on it and have a really cool backround?

Anyhow i am done wth my schoolwrk for today so i am working on said map right now. I will post a beta realeases once i get anything done.

Just downsize the textures without changing rez. Should keep high resolution without the need for the exe hacking. ^_^ But this perhaps belongs in the WADs sector, eh? moving. No, NGT, you're not in trouble. ^_^
