Space Station Interior

[x3n]

I've created a Wiki-page, where you can admire my first steps in building the interior of the space station.

I will soon add some more sketches (there's only one at the moment).

Realy cool stuff you came up with already. I think that it shouldn't be such a big problem to integrate some steaming tubes and a 3D holographic image of the spacestation (or whatever object) in this world.
It should also be possible to use some fog effects (like fog on the ground).

Keep it up!

It should also be possible to use some fog effects (like fog on the ground).

That would be a really cool effect!

I'll try to insert several possibilities to show our features as particle effects (steam, smoke, sparks...) , animated objects (cool doors, [inaccessible] elevators, holo-projections...) or DivX-textures.

Is there a possibility to implement flares or glowing effects as shown here:

That would be great



btw, I think I'll write a tutorial on how to build a map for Orxonox as soon as I have got enough experience, so further mappers (particularly with regard to multiplayer maps) will have an easier beginning.

Tthere is no such thing in Orxonox, I'm afraid. I thought much about such a glow effect, but I never tried to implement it.

Yes, please! Other people will thank you for doing this! Btw: I will have to show you some tricks to be able to integrate the .bsp map into Orxonox

I've updated the wikipage, uploaded some sketches and added new features.
Now you can look at the five sketches (overview, tower, bar, hangar, shop) and the description of each room.

After some tests with gtk-radiant and bsp-maps in Orxonox, I will start building the map.

Beautiful wikipage. I love the progress pictures (10% ... 90%). To make the first topic a 100%-topic I will think of stuff to put into the personal room. I'll write my ideas to you per email as soon as I have gathered enough information. Stay tuned.

[patrick]

Very, very nice work until now! keep it on!

i've wrote a tutorial on how to build a map for orxnox. it explains how to install and configure gtk-radiant and how to implement a map in orxonox. it's NOT a mapping tutorial, there are lots of them in the web.
i attached a file, containing the 'common textures' for gtk-radiant. as the whole license crap is unclear, i made them by myself, so we shouldn't have any problems here.

maybe i will add/edit some details or one of you has some suggestions.

thx very much! this realy is open source spirit

I like the textures

Nice Tutorial. Well done!

I know textures are a big problem for you... license problem.

One more idea: Photo Communities like Flickr have pictures which can be used as textures. And all of them have clear licenses. Some of them even CC-by-sa or PD.

http://flickr.com/photos/tags/texture (65,888 photos)
maybe...

Of course we have to make them tilable. but thats not so much work.

BTW: are these Textures ( http://www.noctua-graphics.de/ ) realy cc-by-sa-2.5? I couldn't find a license.

nexuiz really has very good textures, also for our purposes. you got it already on the texture list. They are under the GPL.
We should be able to use them, if we give them away again under the GPL. We only licence our content under the CC, do we?

thx, maybe I can use some photos... i'll have a look on them.

the textures are not yet a problem, i'll map the station with some unicolored selfmade textures (as placeholders) and replace them later. that's the general practice

BTW: are these Textures ( http://www.noctua-graphics.de/ ) realy cc-by-sa-2.5? I couldn't find a license.

erm. no. they ain't. *shame*
i just had a look on the page, there is a small "no commercial texturepackages" note. well, they were just a test on how to implement textures in gtk-radiant, so it's no big loss.

additionally i sent a mail to some texture pages and asked them if they allow us to use some textures under cc-by-sa.
i hope i'll get some answers

Your new ingame screenshots of the space station are great! Especially the fancy floor design of the hotel room.

[hdavid]

Wow! just saw your wiki-page.really cool work, great screenshots from the interior. the corridor with the red light looks very good. keep up with the good work...

[bensch]

i love it. looks very futuristic.
Especially i like the interior core where these planes are stacked obove each other... keep up the work!
