MM1 original stage mode

[ice]

Fireman, elecman, cutman, and iceman's stages. Basically, try to make it look as though things are from megaman's point of view (like at the beginning of iceman's stage, you're in a frozen park surrounded by trees)

5 screenshots of one incomplete stage, 1 unrelated enemy demo, 20 pages.

Why is this so?

I suck at designing things, I can only execute them. Do I just copy what already exists in the MM1 stages?

because gutsman is done, bombman is half done, too lazy to post screenshots, busy with RL and other projects, and people keep posting here. If you want to bug someone about slow progress, bug Korby.

1.) Can I try Cutman's stage?
2.) ........................................................................what are 3D floors?

2.) ........................................................................what are 3D floors?

...That could be a problem if you're planning to work on this.

Look up a tutorial on how to use 3D Floors. It'll let you put floors in midair without having to resort to linedef bridges.

I think I did it. It's just that when you climb the ladder to the next floor (at the very beginning of the level), you see this blurrish texture right before you reach the top of the ladder. It's like a mixture of the textures, like a badly placed skybox. Besides that, It's a bit of a start

I think you have encountered the infamous hall of mirrors.

Check your linedefs to see if you're missing textures anywhere.

[TheDoc]

Sorry, but I somehow completely screwed up the little amount of progress that I had and I'm trying to fix it..


EDIT: Fixed it, but I'm back to square one regarding the blurry problem. I made a seperate section in front of the ladder to leave untagged from the "Transfer Heights" section I use to make 3D floors, but there's a problem....

If I do tag it, it looks solid although you can pass right through it.


If I don't tag it, it gets blurry.

What to do....

It's not missing linedef textures (I did the "map analysis"), but I think I kinda sorta partially fixed it.

It's not blurry, but it looks like the platform is overlapping the ladder depending on your persceptive.

On top of the platform, you can't see the ladder at all from one side,

but you can from the other. I think it's just a glitch from the 3D floor, but it still looks bad.

Btw, the background isn't missing textures. It's the skybox, and I wasn't sure what to do for it(if you want one at all).

EDIT: I've gotten it to the point where it's great from the bottom, but you can't see the ladder at all from the top.

Darn it, I wish I could contribute.
But I can't map, sprite, or program.

Are you sure you're using 3D floors correctly? I use them all the time, without the use of Transfer Heights.

I wanted to try another way besides "Transfer Heights", but I couldn't pull it off. I REEEEALLY don't want to say this, but maybe I should try to master 3D floors first... (I don't know how I'm gonna practice, though) I'm probably gonna let go of this for now.

gutsman is done

Can you post screenshots? I really wanted to see that stage, but you removed the screenshots.

Well, here's how I do it:

I make a small side sector with the needed textures at the height I want the sector at, all on the side, then, I choose one line side of the set-aside sector, and set it to "3D floor", set the alpha to 255, set the type to Solid, and set the sector-number thingy to a number, usually 1. Then, well, create a sector where I want to put it, and set it to that sector number.
