Screenshot Competition

[Crow]

Screenshot competition:

Okay im bored so I though maybe it would be fun to have a screenshot competition. The objective is the take to coolest looking scenery screenshot. It can be in any map, custom or not. You can submit more than one. There will probably be more than one winner.
Heres my first one:

[Kuroneko]

How to go into spectator mode? Or is it a developer-only command?

[Crow]

: O

 

[Crow]

you can see the bottom of.. the.. boat.. ..?

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

If I correctly understand what you mean I'd say that's a texture bug.

 

[Crow]

If you were standing on a mirror (not moving, feet flat) would you be able to see the bottom of your feet?

 

[Lanethan]

P'raps not, but do you expect the bottom of the boat to be flat against the water surface all the way across?

 

[Crow]

I expect the bottom of the boat to be under the water all the way across, yes. Surely the boat is not so light that it just sit right on top of the water.

And as far as I know, huge boats like that don't have thier bottoms flat.

 

[Thothie]

I assume the map is in development stage, but really, seems it would be easy enough to just make a y180 copy of the boats and put the copies under the water as a func_illusions, connecting them at their bottom. Shouldn't be able to see the bottom from outside the water that way... I suspect the whole effect is hell on the FPS though.

You'd have to put a good railing/clipbrush around the area though, or somehow make the water very opaque. Otherwise the player will wind up swimming through the reflection should he jump in, which would kinda kill the effect.

The player is reflected...

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Holy shit

Tell me, how many other Half-Life mods have real-time water reflections?

 

[Kuroneko]

Holy ****

Tell me, how many other Half-Life mods have real-time water reflections?

I can think of one off the top of my head.

 

[Crow]

AMAZING!! XD is that the "spirit of half-life" stuff or something?

 

[Kuroneko]

No SoHL. Just Dogg's handiwork.

 

[Crow]

My complements to the chef 8)

 

[Thothie]

Ooooooooo.... Ahhhhhhhhh.... (I think, my screenshot is broken)

Now if only we'd have an FGD available with the info to implement that in MS:C maps.

Hmm the reflectiveness maybe to shiny cos there might be some noob in the water and they might think that there's a magical person following them under the water

Unlikely, reflections will be off by default.

 

[jack hawkins]

Why?

 

[-=Night Goul=-]

Why what? Be specific.
