Between the snowstorm and my wife falling down the stairs I wont be able to admin duties until this Monday Feb 1. So until then just letting you guys know why I havnet been around at all this week. Ok later.

ok so you do have a point its only 5 percent 700 now. I am ok with nameing it Area XI but I wish to enlist help for renaming and refoing the textures of the custom buildings. Changing names is a bitch because everything custome has to be redone. I would like Cobryis to do it if he is willing or if his pc can handle the large memory usage the editor accumaltes during working in it. And he can do stuff with it also add some of his own things if he wishes and he would get full credit for doing so. Would you be willing Cobryis? IT took me 5 weeks of hard times to get that map to that phase so Im very sensitive about who I give the cry to. I know St33l is always busy on his own maps and Cygon will be busy with my other project lol. And since my next project right away this week is Off roads it would only be fair lol.

OK I bet some aare wondering what happened to Spheres Wars. Well that map was a pain in the butt lol...I have to say its a pretty map and St33l helped a lot with the texturing and teaching me the texuring process. The map honest is done in a sense but just needs some trimming. Its really too big for TIA I think since you can go anywhere on it. I am now packing having a look over and passing it to Cygon so when I see him next I can just give it to him. So we have another major map coming very soon. And if it doenst work out as a PS hybrid map then it can always be easily converted to TIA in no time at all. So tonight im preparing it for Cygon to take over and I hope I see him Sunday. He works fast once he gets going so it should not take long once I pass it to him. The Spheres Warws was my first map ever and I learned a lot from it and learned a lot from Cobryis and St33l to get me going in the map making. The flowgraphing on that map is not the way I want it yet in my vision but it can be done anytime the most important thing is to get this Sphere Wars goin in operation to time it with getting traffic back to servers. Talk to you guys later.

did anyonet ry it?

ok good news I played this for 3 hours with my wife in dx9 there was no flicker 2 things to fix which ill do right now before I leave for work is -TOD does not roll fast enough -The entrance that is underwater lags me bad but my wife had no lag. Portaling into the base is ok though but going through the water is ouch for me but my wife is not effected which is odd since we have same pc.Ill proabbly block off the airlock and do it via portal -Once instance of hill tree flicker in day time but went away after moving around and that was it for flicker the whole time fpr us anyways -this map needs nightvision on server for sure Look for betabuild6b for those updates which will be uploaded befoer i leave today for work

I think I fixed teh rendering issue between the secret airlock under the lake...so hopefully that is ok now.

OK its uploaded. I played for a long time night and day and no flicker anymore in dx9 but mabye you guys can find flaws and test for me some more. from now on all the fixes on this map should be small and fast as needed or requested. Its getting pretty close to a final.. Hope you guys like the updated version of Area 700 beta 6a

OK Area beta 6a will be released to you guys from me but early Friday morning. I have it ready but I want to test it with my wife after I get home from work. We will try and run it for an hour before I put it on the ftp in my folder sorry It took me 2 days longer then I had thought and things came up that made me busy

You

hmm the flicker would be the lights perhaps to close in radious to another and probably for dx9 and the time of day rolling over there is some bug in dx9 mode that I have noticed on various maps.

Thanksyou. The refinery buildings I did use were all wet its was a pain in the butt lol. I am still working on customization of the refinery area and buildings it will take some time.I mostly customized around that area so far. I also customized the fire and added effects to the refinery and will do some more.

lol that is pretty funny

Released

Thankyou I am honored!!! ))

Yeah I really missed you guys!!!! My wife and I

My wife and I both have Hanns G 27 inch monitors. First hers failed and we had to send it in and are still waiting on it. So she is using a half ass TV partial hdmi (hard on her eyes text is terrible) and now this past 10 days mine has been failing. I have to send mine in since it is still in warrenty,.

Over the last few weeks I have had to work double and a lot of personal agenda to take care of. Ill be back on a normal work week and Angel Wings and I will be more free to play. Also I have not been able to work on the map so tonight I am resuming it. See you guys around. Thought Id post in case you guys were wondering what happend to us the last few weeks.
