I think you should go for the original pixelated mario - it's just more funky and retro, plus it will probably look cool in 3D

IMHO, i think you should position this large mario outside of the playing area - i doubt he will add much in the way of play.

BTW, i'm willing to making some models or textures for this project if you want.

I'm probably going to make him 3Dish. Not quite his current look, but definitely recognizale as Mario. I already thought of a pose to put him in, too.

And thanks for the tips!

It would be kool to have a Castle you can goin and get flags or somethin. Or even have the Whole game on/in the Castle with the Mario, Mushroom, coin block, ect

i am making little castles to go over the bases.

wow...a good idea poped into my mind, i can make a mario map series, like one out in a field and one in a castle ect.

dartman · Post by **dartman** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 8:21 pm

This would be a nice touch to put on the outside of the castle: a sign that reads "Welcome to...Another Castle"

Sweet that is a good idea

Goodbye2U · Post by **Goodbye2U** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 11:44 pm

good idea Dartman

why not have an area that's underground,
with a pipe going there(Ill try to cut the bottom off the pipe), and
a jump-thru platform to land on, and a high-bouncing physics driver
underneath the platform that shoots you back thru the pipe...

that'd be interesting!

EDIT: made pipe double-sided and hollow, put vertically

OK, I got some eyes on it, it looks great, exept it's lazy and on it's side...
bzfs keeps choking on the "spin" parameter. Anyways, bend your neck
left and you can see it fine.

I thought of something like this a long time ago, but never got around to really doing anything with it. All I got was a working teleporter pipe (albeit an ugly one).

If anyone wants me to see if I can find the .bzw on CD somewhere let me know.

nice, i need a pipe model but i dont think a working one will fit the map.

update:

im working on the layout but i need a few problems fixed. I am planning a large "research" like thing for the map. I will realease the map in simple form without models and have people play on it, to test its gameplay. then i will add things like my mushrooms ect. When i get the simple form done I will realease it.
*if someone would like to host it PM me*

It's "rotation", not "spin"

Hehe idea is good and map will be pretty nice. But FPS and lag will be terrible on it, and if server will be on 100 MBIT it will be to low, and servers lag with that map will be minimum 200 and more. Owners lag will be on that server minimum 60.

And there are some problems, there must be at one time 2 servers in 2 continets. One in Europe and second in America. I explain why. Lets consider that Server is in Europe and if American's will try to come and watch what's that, they will wait minutes to load map, because format is big.(i mean all players.) American's will come and play some minutes after what will say "yours lag is terrible" it will be more than 600 (it is 100%) And same thing for Europeans, if they join American Mario server

But we can always try

I have great idea. We need to find a good plugin designer for BZ, who will make teleport.so
It is a plugin that allows u to teleport to a casttle where are all flags, as where said above.

or a plugin what will enable all flags to get using easy commands, as if u need GM u just type /gm
And it will give u Guided Missled.

Sorry for my bad English

actually, so long as you follow some basic rules the poly count will be fine. Look at louman's maps - no fps problems as such.

Some tips are:
Never define more divisions than you need to in arcs, spheres, cones etc. no more than 8 are probably needed.

Use an invisible, noshadow, material on faces that are out of sight. Better yet - don't define those mesh faces at all.

Why don't you need working pipes? From what I see, the pipe isn't too big.

L4m3r's pipe mechanism looks great - from what I can tell, it looks like you can teleport both directions. You go in a pipe, you land on a bouncy moving surface that flings you in a teleporter. You fly out of the teleporter in the other pipe and keep going up, landing on the rim. Does that sound right?

Goodbye2U · Post by **Goodbye2U** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 12:25 am

^Yeah, that sounds like how you suggested it.
But try going back the way you came. Your tank plays boomerang.

the pipe wouldnt work really unless I made it go from one end to the other, but i can't have the pipe go to the other persons base that would be to easy (the map is a ctf map)

Goodbye2U · Post by **Goodbye2U** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 6:40 pm

I can put the original pipe sidways if you want...
