Abr'um's Blog (SoL)

Hello,

Yavin Temple Mod (see below for details): (7/04/11)

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

This is my blog for SoL. I post updates for all my projects here, as well as new project pitches. That way I wont be spamming threads about multiple projects. This blogging thing has had success before mainly because it has opened up clans' projects to where everyone can contribute to them. That way anyone can leave a mark.

Updates to come.

I can tell.....I can't get it off my fingers...

A flying ship over the courtyard! I used the "model2" key from a func_train bmodel duplicated from a trigger_multiple bmodel. Any questions, just PM me.

Anyhow, there will probably be multiple ships flying up there, soon enough. I want to add sounds as well for the ships, then they will make sounds as the go by and it will be silent when they are absent.

It would be sort of cool if they dropped bombs as well, but it may be partially annoying. xD

DO IT!

More ships, 2 lines of the ships. Multiple ships in a row. They now have sounds as they pass by as well. Realistic sounds.

Tell me what you think. : D

I also speeded up all the doors so they open instantly, except for the "temple" door. That door I kept slow, in order to keep it true to the SP level. I may change this later on of course, depends on opinions.

Updated the lightning and thunder sounds. Re-added a bird sound. Made it to where only 1 global sound plays at a time (birds, wind, thunder ect.). This will help fight lag and FPS problems the future may hold with the constant updates.

More to come!

Wow Abr'um this is really impressive! Looks like Version 2.3 is coming sooner than expected!

I heard a few requests for a bar. I picked the ''Forceroom'', you admins might want to make that ''Bar'' now. Here is a video of the bar and a download link to the very latest version of yavin_temple for download.

-to all who have been having problems with my links, I tested this one well and it seems web-worthy.

I like how you used the Chiss model lol.

Very pro job.

I agree with Solid. I could go for a beer right about now...

I present: Entering the bar/forceroom by walking/running.

Hey

Thanks Snake! I added a teleport out of the bar. Now you can get in and out with or without saying temple. Also note that you can use the 'use' key while facing a drink to get shields. It also makes a sort of gulp sound.

I made the glass invincible in the next update as well. Removed the ship sounds to aid peoples' FPS and ping. The ships are staying though. :O

Coming next: Rain that comes down separately instead of all at once! I am also working on a system that MIGHT help stop emote blocking of the teleports, this will take more time than the rain though.

That's a strange bug indeed. I get it too. I'll look into it some more.

it already is... xD or how do you think snake made the vid ^^

New file! Upload today!

Has Fireworks with a secret place to toggle them. This is a temporary feature.

Also! There is now better rain that should lag people less and is more realistic, that's the new perm feature.

More to come as always!

Your Over Doing It too Much Rain,sky's,textures,adding,ships.
Before all of this I had a ping of 60-70 Since the rain & sky Was Put on it went down to 45. And Now the ships Made it 25-20 try and fuking play with 20FPS. I'm dreding to think this time.
