Please delete this topic. Discussion is way too slow and wirey. After I have more work done on the mod, I'll re-make a topic with a link for The Shaft's website.

Understand the basics of making tile able textures

is there any texture i make not tileable then? Toungue oh wait no one has seen one Toungue
if you want to see one just send me a pm Smile

Tested a pretty blank level today in penumbra (pretty much just overwrote the first level to get it to work)
100% darkness, some good music, and it was definetly strange. I have gamma down real low, so you can can't see a wall 15+ meters away with a flashlight. And the glowstick; well, when everything around you is pitch black, I just enjoyed the flashlight A LOT more.



Btw; does anyone know what file(s) contain flashlight and glowstick power? I've looked around, but can't seem to find it.
i cant look atm Smile (dont have it installed Sad )
cant fidn it atm but there is a string somewhere in a script file wich points to the first map
It's either the global script or documents/penumbra/settings

I'm too lazy right now to trigger the player finding a flashlight, so I'm just using the first level (boat) as an area for getting the necessary items. Obviously my mod won't use any of the original Penumbra maps.




EDIT: Damn fraps is a bitch to get working. The trail version is bugged and makes it impossible to install the full version without a shitload of programs.
Right now I'm waiting on a 200kb program that will finish it. But oh wait! 3 seeders + 0 leachers = 0 download speed Big Grin

EDIT2: Oh hey! Let's make people have to save the file instead of opening it when they download it!! And than make sure the file doesn't work unless you save it, AND add a 45 minute wait time between downloads for a program that's 300kb!!! That'll show em!
and we dont talk warez here Toungue
besides, try gamecam HERE
its completely free Smile

i just installed penumbra again (yeah i know im a good boy Toungue) and need to do the tutorials again Smile; hopefully mapmaking goes better then the first time Toungue
i have to go now but when i get back (later or tomorow Toungue) i will check Toungue

EDIT: ok i have you on msn but do you ever come online? Toungue
Alright Mr.Fancy pants, I'm on msn. I probably can't help you out alot (I understand the concepts of portals, but I don't understand how to name them yet)
