I won't forget.
I'm not planning on it taking it hours though;
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 2.67GHz (8 CPUs)
RAM: 6134MB RAM
GPU: NnVidia GeForce GTX 285

Last time I compiled with reflection probes and 4 to 6 lights in every room, it took about two minutes.
But that's without light grid, sky boxes, hint boxes, ...

Wait wut?! 8 cores? I didn't know that many cores were available to the general public!

[Hoogie]

Sick PC you got there.

[CX gamer]

Whoaha, thanks...
You should hear it rawr at bootup XD

Log time...
Sad face is because today, I barely had time to have any work done. Both school and my grandpa needed me... I continued some experimenting with \/-slides, but the concept I had in mind wasn't fun to play, and was cancelled. So I'm making another 'level-up' room with some slides and bounces. It's very rough, and I haven't been able to test it 100%...
I'm sorry I'm not uploading another screen, but it's not really worth uploading...

That is a PC made by god

Actually it only has four cores. The cpu uses Hyper Threading technology, and each cores runs two threads making it show as eight logical cores .

Amen. I had no idea o.O
8 graphs in taskmanagers looks a bit too much any way...

Stop! Log time!
I've been able to finish the next level up room, featuring a bounce, two kinds of sliding and an RPG bounce.
In the right corner, you see there is a hole, this is so the RPG jumping player doesn't take as much damage.
There is a tunnel leading there for the ones who failed the bounce. You won't see it because of full-bright.
EDIT: It also seems like I've forgotten the door >.<

In the next room, I'm planning moving platforms, not jumping from moving platform to moving platform (since I don't usually like that), but rather one platform that moves along a path where are a number of obstacles.
So tomorrow I'll have to learn a bit about that scripting. I don't know how much control you have with those scripts, I'm hoping I can adjust the player's momentum together with the coordinates, to smoothen out the movement.

Also I've ran out of apple juice. I'll be drinking cola since I can't find my water bottle.

Sorry for not updating the log yesterday, I was home for less then 10 minutes due to a combination of school and party...
I'll learn the basics of the scripting today

Thanks for the fast reply. I'll get right to it...


EDIT: I'm doing something wrong, or I'm forgetting something...
I was trying to make a loop making it say something...
I copied all other code from shipment because I needed to have a file before I could compile.
My guess is that I don't have a .idw file, if so, where can I find it?

EDIT2: Okay I've had a look at http://www.zeroy.com/script/, it seems I have control over a player's velocity, which is good for moving platforms. I can also make a .txt file for role-play purposes (so one can continue where he left off if one wants to). Control over a player's level, even kicks and bans. But those last ones are probably disabled.

Code: Select all

main()
{



   maps\mp\_load::main();
   
   maps\mp\_compass::setupMiniMap("compass_map_mp_shipment");
   
   //setExpFog(500, 3500, .5, 0.5, 0.45, 0);
   ambientPlay("ambient_middleeast_ext");
   //VisionSetNaked( "mp_vacant" );
   
   game["allies"] = "marines";
   game["axis"] = "opfor";
   game["attackers"] = "axis";
   game["defenders"] = "allies";
   game["allies_soldiertype"] = "desert";
   game["axis_soldiertype"] = "desert";

   setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "1" );
   setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity0",".1");
   setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity1",".1");
   setdvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".1");
   setdvar("compassmaxrange","1500");

   for(;;)
   {
     wait 1;
     self notify("Hello, world!");
   }

The command for printing something on the screen is iprintlnbold("text");

The .iwd(not .idw) file is basically .rar format. Just copy one of iw's and delete all of the folders, then create your own(the .gsc-script file should be located in .iwd/maps/mp)

[CX gamer]

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, I was going to experiment which command printed where exactly;

Code: Select all

self notify("1");
AllClientsPrint("2");
Announcement("3");
SayAll("4");
IPrintLn("5");
IPrintLnBold("6");
Print("7");

I'm not sure what you mean by copy one of iw's and deleting. What file/folder do I need to copy and what do I need to delete?
This is the situation now;

• mp_portal.gsc is in D:\CoD4\raw\maps\mp
• mp_portal.ff and mp_portal_load.ff are in D:\CoD4\usermaps\mp_portal
