  • rain and fog for MP1 SoA

    hello all,

    seven, roy batty and daniocampo1992 have made great .ent rain and fog files for ID1, and after trying making them myself and seeing how easy it is, i decided to start making rain and fog myself for all MP1 SoA maps

    in this thread i will post any progress i make, every map i finish i will add as im done with it,
    and ill also post if i revise maps to fix leakages or such or if there were parts i wasnt happy with after all

    DONE SO FAR:
    START - command HQ (fixes by seven)

    Episode1:
    HIP1M1 - the pumping station
    HIP1M2 - storage facility
    HIP1M3 - the lost mines v1.1 (added flying ash effect where there's lava)
    HIP1M4 - research facility v1.1 (fixed part before exit-gate which i missed)
    HIP1M5 - military complex v1.11 (v1.1-fixed some missing pieces webangel pointed out and added a missing part. v1.11-fixed another leak)

    EP1 COMPLETE + START v1.02 (updated the pack with HIP1M3 v1.1)
    complete episode1 + the start map, packed as pk3 for easy use, just put it in your hipnotic folder to use


    Episode2:
    HIP2M1 - ancient realms
    HIP2M2 - the black cathedral v1.2 (fixed a typo in the ash which caused ash to spawn where it shouldnt)
    HIP2M3 - the catacombs
    HIP2M4 - the crypt v1.1 (added rain at 2 spots which i overlooked)
    HIP2M5 - mortum's keep
    HIP2M6 - the gremlin's domain

    EPISODE2 COMPLETE v1.02 (updated the pack with the fixed HIP2M4)
    packed as pk3 for easy use, just drop into your hipnotic folder to use


    Episode3:
    HIP3M1 - tur torment
    HIP3M2 - pandemonium
    HIP3M3 - limbo
    HIP3M4 - the gauntlet >no windows or such, so no rain needed for this map
    HIPEND - armagon's lair

    EPISODE3 COMPLETE
    packed as pk3 for easy use, just drop into your hipnotic folder to use it


    some screenshots to show what it looks like in-game. although still pics of course dont compare to how it looks when you see it in-game




    to use any of the .ent files, drop them in hipnotic\maps, and if needed rename to start.ent or hip1m1.ent, hip1m2.ent etc.
    when i got any episodes done, ill put all rain-maps for each episode in a pk3 file for easy use


    feel free to comment, constructive criticism on if you find any leakages or points where i could improve,
    or perhaps even places i forgot (you never know, mightve overseen spots) is more then welcome and very much appreciated


    for anyone who might be eager to try and make some themselves, its actually real easy! try it and see how extremely easy it is
    seven made a thread with TUT on how to add rain & snow and fog to quake with darkplaces some time ago:
    http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-hel...arkplaces.html

    !please note that you need seven's small mod compilation 3.1 plus the version of his SMC for MP1 installed for the rain to work!
    !if you dont have these installed the rain will not work and cause darkplaces to crash on trying to load up a map!

    are you curious about what all there is out there in terms of HD content for quake?
    > then make sure to check out my 'definitive' HD replacement content thread! <
    everything that is out there for quake and both mission-packs, compiled into one massive thread

      Thank you Splitterface.
      Looks nice so far but I have found two leaks in hip1m1:

      Comment

        ah, yes, that first one is known to me, but sadly it is unavoidable cuz of the platform the rain falls on is so thin, and its of course extra noticable cuz everything underneath the platform is entirely black and the rain is white

        althought the amount of noticability might be able to be reduced by using one big rainblock instead of several, ive used several now since the window there has bars over it. let me try that and see how much it is noticable that it would use just 1 block instead of several

        second one i didnt notice myself yet. for that one i will complete remove the rain in the level above then, i was doubting wether or not to put rain there cuz the openings in the ceiling are so narrow

        when im done making those changes, ill upload the new version so you can judge for yourself too

        EDIT: just finished. removed the rain at the top hallway cuz the opening in the celing was so extremely narrow and it caused big leaks in the floor below. and changed the rain at the stairs at the end of the same hallway to one block instead of several, which isnt noticable but decreases how much the leaking below is visible a bit. although sadly it cant be completely fixed cuz of how thin the platform is the rain falls on. the only way how this can be fixed would be if seven would fix it in the code itself.

              most likely, i would wanna do those too in the future.
              but ill first finish adding rain&fog effects for this mission pack im working on now

              which will be in a while, something like a few weeks or such if i do one map each day,
              not counting revising them to improve parts and/or fix leaks if people find them or such.

              but of course as i do more i will be able to do them faster when i learn tricks to be able to do it faster

              anyways, so if i do them too it wont be for at least a few weeks yet before i start on those
              but if by then nobody else has made them, i will start making those too after i finished the ones for MP1 first
              .

                just finished map 2 of episode 1

                i am aware that there is some leakage in the one big area with the big platform which slides open after going through the tunnel for which you need the silver key. but sadly this is not fixable
                it is caused by the fact that the platform which slides open is so thin...

                link in the first post of this thread


                EDIT: updated the rain in the area i said earlier to make it rain less heavy which makes the leaking a bit less
                however sadly it cannot be entirely fixed, its unavoidable cuz of the thin roofing

                  just added map 3 of episode 1 too cuz luckily it was able to make it in just a few minutes due the fact that the level features only a single huge outdoor area, which could be easily made with just a few huge rainblocks without any leaking except for a few real small ones which are unavoidable due to thin roofing. but luckily the leakings are hardly noticable

                  as with all other rain-maps, link in first post of this thread


                  EDIT: added map 4 of episode 1 too, which was extremely simple cuz there was just one outside area at start, and a bunch of windows to look out of to areas where you cant go to

                            just fixed a piece i missed in hip1m4.
                            accidentially forgot the part where you float to the exit-gate after going through the slipgate

                            replaced the old download link in first thread with one to the fixed version, so be sure to download the fixed version
