TRLevels Member Posts: 123 From: Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 04-03-2001 10:03 AM I've started my Titanic level, and i need to know what you think. *NOTE* The textures shown are not the one's i'm going to be using. If i can help it. They were just there to test. I really need some proper Titanic textures or it just don't look right, As you can see on the pics. The second pic is there cos i need to know what you think about the bow. I don't think it look right, from looking at the pictures from Titanic: Adventure Out Of Time. But that's the best i could get it. Tell me what you think! ------------------ ---------------- Neil Smith Webmaster, Tomb Raider: Level Heaven www.TRLevels.co.uk [This message has been edited by TRLevels (edited 04-03-2001).] IP: Logged

Titanic wasn't just one long object, it had dips towards the back and front for promenades, etc. go to www.titanicmovie.com to see if they have any pics. IP: Logged

I've been busy today adding the A Deck promonade, which is using up about 10 rooms! Screenshots of that will be coming soon... ------------------ ---------------- Neil Smith Webmaster, Tomb Raider: Level Heaven www.TRLevels.co.uk IP: Logged

TRLevels Member Posts: 123 From: Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 04-03-2001 07:57 PM You mean the "point" on the bow? That took me a while to do too. It's pretty hard to explain. I sort of made traingles with the blocks, and kept alternating the way they faced, and it made a diagonal line untill it came to a point at the front of the ship. I know it's not explained it much, but i hope it helps! ------------------ ---------------- Neil Smith Webmaster, Tomb Raider: Level Heaven www.TRLevels.co.uk IP: Logged

TRLevels Member Posts: 123 From: Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 04-05-2001 03:55 PM Daaaaaaaaaayum! I had a really big problem last night. The WAD wasen't outputting again. I tried everything i could do to fix it, and i tried all the suggestions you gave me but it didn't work. *Sigh* Lucky i've got a lot of saved project files though. But i can't believe it, i lost 2 full decks!!!!! Ah well, back to work! *Edit* I'm actually glad i lost my work! I've just re-done everything what i did in the previous project file, and more! Plus it made me remember stuff that needed to be on it. It looks loads better now, even if i do say so myself Plus i made a couple of textures for it, not too many. 4 Actually Most of the textures in Coastal have just what i need. ------------------ ---------------- Neil Smith Webmaster, Tomb Raider: Level Heaven www.TRLevels.co.uk [This message has been edited by TRLevels (edited 04-05-2001).] IP: Logged
TRLevels Member Posts: 123 From: Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 04-06-2001 01:19 AM By the way, does anyone know what program i need to use too change the horizon image? I've seen it used on another level, and i need it because the Titanic looks pretty silly sailing through desert mountains! ------------------ ---------------- Neil Smith Webmaster, Tomb Raider: Level Heaven www.TRLevels.co.uk IP: Logged
Lara Severi Member Posts: 937 From:Darlington, CO Durham, England Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 04-06-2001 01:22 AM Wowwwwwww!!! That level looks mint!! IP: Logged
blacknile Member Posts: 103 From:Uphoria Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 04-06-2001 01:24 AM You edit the horizon graphics the same way you edit Lara's outfit. Maybe if you copy the horizon from the wad you want into the wad you are using. Strpix does that. You can also modify the sky by editing the .raw file for that wad. IP: Logged
TRLevels Member Posts: 123 From: Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 04-06-2001 01:48 AM Thanks! Oh, i need a bit more help here... I'm having lots of problems with the horzon breaking up, because the line of site in the level is way over 20 squares! I can't just put a column or something in there to break up the line of sight, it's the Titanic!!! This looks really awfull on the fly-by i've done, so if anyon knows how i can fix it, please help!!! ------------------ ---------------- Neil Smith Webmaster, Tomb Raider: Level Heaven www.TRLevels.co.uk IP: Logged
blacknile Member Posts: 103 From:Uphoria Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 04-06-2001 02:01 AM I encountered exactly the same problem with my level and decided to switch to a night level. My level is very open and the horizon was popping up at every turn so i got rid of it. I did try this though. If you created a wall say 3 blocks high around your room and texture it but leave the higher parts of the wall tranparent you wont see the horizon directly in front you will have to look up. I did this on my level and it looked o.k but i still decided to switch to night time. It sucks but it's just part of the editor i guess. IP: Logged
Lara Severi Member Posts: 937 From:Darlington, CO Durham, England Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 04-06-2001 03:39 AM Or make it like TR3 and use textures for the sky. No sky graphics, no breakout. IP: Logged
TRLevels Member Posts: 123 From: Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 04-06-2001 10:29 AM Good idea. Know where i can get any good sky/ocean pics at night? ------------------ ---------------- Neil Smith Webmaster, Tomb Raider: Level Heaven www.TRLevels.co.uk IP: Logged
Reb@Eidos unregistered | posted 04-06-2001 01:04 PM Have you downloaded the extra textures from http://www.eidosinteractive.com/downloads/index.html? In textures.zip under "Other Media" you'll find the texture set used in the 'titanic' level in TR2..... IP: Logged
TRLevels Member Posts: 123 From: Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 04-06-2001 01:40 PM Yes, i've got them, and they are the Maria Doria levels. But why did they call them Titanic? Sure, it's a sunken ship, but they should have put Maria or something. Anyways, i'm using those textures for the sunken Titanic, they are all old and rusty. Not too good for a newly built ship! ------------------ ---------------- Neil Smith Webmaster, Tomb Raider: Level Heaven www.TRLevels.co.uk IP: Logged
moose562 Member Posts: 861 From:London, England Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 04-06-2001 03:03 PM Good enough for a ship that has been at the bottom of the ocean for over 80 years!!! Oh I am so distraught. MY titanic level was sooo cool, but totally unrealistic, but I used catacombs for the level cos you get the drippy noise in the background. Oh I want a new idea for a level, how about one set on the movie? I am gonna start a new thing with the re-launch of TRClothes. It even has a special name, like the big project and that other one about a phoenix or a falcon, I can't remember. Oh well, I have a wicked idea and I want to patent it before somebody else thinks of it!!! He he he. Ok, sorry, nervous breakdown here!!! John (Moose562) IP: Logged
TRLevels Member Posts: 123 From: Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 04-08-2001 09:04 AM Here's a new pic. It's almost finished, but as you can see at the top i'm still having those horizon break-out problems... You can also see inside the decks onthe right hand side. *NOTE* They are not going to be the on'es Lara will be walking around in. This model is just for the fly-by at the beginning. I'll make a totally different interior, so i've got loads more rooms to work with ------------------ ---------------- Neil Smith Webmaster, Tomb Raider: Level Heaven www.TRLevels.co.uk IP: Logged
tom992 Member Posts: 289 From:Abingdon, Oxfordshire, England Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 04-08-2001 11:41 AM Will you be doing the grand staircase, turkish bath's, swimming bath and squash court in your level? IP: Logged
TRLevels Member Posts: 123 From: Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 04-09-2001 02:38 AM I'll be doing just about all of the rooms that you see in Titanic: Adventure Out Of Time. Because i've played that game like 20 times and i know what just about every room looks like. But you don't get to go in every room, so i'll miss out the same ones too. The Grand Staircase, i'll try to get it in there, but it will probably look very silly and really unrealistic, because of everything in the level editor being made up of blocks! I'll get the Turkish Bath, the Squash Court, the Cafe Parisian, The Gym, Scotland Road, the Smoking Room, the Engine Room, the Control Room, the Lifts (i doubt they'll work though, unless anyone can make lifts ) I'll also put the Wireless Room and the Bridge on, if i decide to let Lara roam around on deck. ------------------ ---------------- Neil Smith Webmaster, Tomb Raider: Level Heaven www.TRLevels.co.uk IP: Logged

Michael P Member Posts: 205 From: Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 05-29-2001 01:12 PM ...that is probably because it is an old thread and Neil has changed providers in the meantime...not so sure about the status of his Titanic Level though, can't find anything on his page ------------------ HAPPY RAIDING!
