Second place is just a fancy way of saying the first looser.

Words of wisdom to live by :P

I've heard an alternative version of that saying. "Second place is just the second winner" Sounds a little cheesy eh? Whatever next time you guys will be at the top of the list. Keep it up on this amazing project.

Just a small update from one of the mapper dudes...

I have now rebuilt the Temple, Aztec and Hideout maps using regular sized brushes, to take advantage of the new clipping method implemented by PSmonkey...The filesizes of the maps are now about a third of their orignal size, and they have roughly a Tenth of the polycount, so they should run a lot smoother and we can even look to making much larger levels!

Cheers,
Fox

wraggster, we know you're always the cool guy about it and, thanks

I've been busy with work recently and alot of stuff I wanted done for Iris couldn't be.

I will be writing off alot of our "Unused" textures as GPL so some fun stuff there and I have some test maps that are worth playing.

Hey, I was thinking I might be able to do some music or effects for this. I'll have to see how my schedule is for the next week though. I'll be gone from the forums for the next few days but I'll see If I can cook up an example mp3 or something.

I'll post back sometime after the weekend

cheers

Well... today, I cleaned up my home office, I found a TV, an old PS2, a Dreamcast... AND!

I HAVE A BED IN THERE! Now I can sleep in that room... there was a couch with fold out bead but it was nasty :P

Kaiser, lets have a mix off. You first, all original beats or ones that are truely Royalty free nothing ripped from official music. (check acidplanet.com for some good royalty free loops) I'll be seein ya :P

Well I'm used to mixing tunage from games. Taking midi's converting it to mp3. Then I'd pump the hell out of the drums and lead synth or something. Originality? that is something I might have trouble with but I'll check that site out.

Do you have any real equipment or do you use a bunch of editors and cheap samples like Kaiser?
