Project Progress - Opera

[Kamrusepas]

Because I have the attention span of a goldfish, I have to start a new project every few hours :D

So the new one is here: The Opera House.

What do you think? http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif
I was actually planning to finish this and make into a real level...


And yes, you guessed it, I've already encountered my first problem.
I have a Kurtis in Von Croy's slot, and I would like him to move or do something. Does it work in a similar way than the guide?

I've been planning to put a rope in this level, and I've never done that before, so I'll probably be asking for instructions for that later... :D

Oh my, another project. Looks like your head is full of ideas! http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/thumb.gif

Carefull with texturing large wall section with the same texture all over. It creates the so-called 'wallpaper' effect: it's the repetition effect you get when texturing a wall with a single texture. Even though it is supposed to be wallpaper. ;)

About the rope:
Place it and trigger it. It will end up dangling from the highest point in the room you placed it in. ;)

Because I have the attention span of a goldfish You know about the 'Mythbusters' program on Discovery channel? They once did an experiment with goldfish. Teaching them stuff: get through a series of holes to get to the end of the fishtank. They actually had a much longer attention span than expected. So you're not doing so bad! http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Man, this is gonna be the greatest level ever http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/yahoo.gif

I mean... eh... by me... Hum...

Anyways, I solved the rope thingie and all.

As I started placing the seats, I made a new save after each row, and phew, glad I did. The last save with all the seats in didn't work anymore http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

But, I'm running into some trouble with the new room, as you can see in the last pic [never mind the pic's name... Imageshack is being a http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/censored.gif again]. I don't know if it's that obvious from the pic, but she's not standing on the stage, rather dozens of feet above it in the air. I'll have to delete that room and see what went wrong..

How far can it be placed so that Lara can still reach it?Trial and error I'm afraid. No idea really. Basically the same distance as from one ledge to another. But this also depends on how high it will be.

And how does the trigger actually work in this case? The trigger makes the rope visible and usable.

As I started placing the seats, I made a new save after each row, and phew, glad I did. The last save with all the seats in didn't work anymore Too many objects in one room can causes the game to crash. You're room is very large and would require a lot of seats to make it look like a theatre.

Tip:
Put in some lighting. This really enhances the atmosphere. http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/thumb.gif

Anyways, I'm just a few minutes away from completing this level. It turned out shorter than I expected, but meh http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Titak]

Dark and murky is good! http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/thumb.gif
