Ty for posting the pics, i'll fix those tiles this week ^^ update on graveyard scene [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

That looks awesome, i wonder how it looks like ingame though o.o

For anyone interested how the Awesome map images Zatoichi made where created into fully functional dmaps. I made a quick preview of a tool we decided to build. and will probably be released in the future for everyone to play with.

that is some legit shit

waitin for that .Dmap creator

@2Slam - i dunno if he plans on giving it out. I will say about 3 of the top coders (prolly more) from this forum worked on it, directly and indirectly for about ...shit...2 years maybe - and it still isnt done. I'm not sure if it would be free. I don't mean to speak for them - but ulti shoulda been real clear about that. Sparkie, Ulti, Hybk alone directly on this have hundreds of hours apiece into that tool, which i will add is on the verge of becoming its own client.

Awesome Dmap creator is awesome :<

stuff like that wont get released that much, so im pretty sure it will stay between team yakuza members.

then i have to creat mine tho :D
but i was wandring how u could wrap that huge part of textures i got stuck when wrapping a texture for just a weapon :D is there a way or two for such?

@2 slam - You could, thats what we did. As far as texturing goes, it really depends on what you are texturing. Lately i use alot of pelt mapping, but there are a number of ways to skin any given object. You just need to know where your seams will go, plan for them, hide them. We are licensed with Unity as well, and i can tell you from the work we do in there that only having diffuse mapping is VERY limiting. But this is a great place to learn diffuse mapping, thru and thru. Look at box mapping, cylindrical mapping, and pelt mapping to start (I'm assuming you are using planar mapping, these are all techniques of UV mapping for Diffuse textures). Those should really give you the basics of what you need to tackle any item.

Zatoichi, idk if the building is supposed to be like this but i don't think it is ;o

yeah 2 of the glitches with the map are not fixable, that one and the dock that has a chop out of it, they actually have repeating tiles in the structure and that overwrites anything i have there. Luckily its only the TC map that is like this, and its just cuz the dmap was so limiting. We've got one more map scheduled but, ulti mentioned releasing a map for everyone with a dmap, so a new map anyone could use in any psrvr. This ofc would not work on real co, as all the maps being released now do. Im also thinking of releasing the grocery map redo, that go this whole thing started like 3 years ago or something. I'll try to fix what i can this week, and on friday i'll be releasing the arena reskin.

The chopping thing is fixable. You need to add a second scene file for the top of the building. That's how TQ handles large buildings and such.

yeah actually i use planar mapping i'll try box and cylindrical i'll try that on arena map as it is very simple tho.
