Game Lecture for rAge

Aaargh, mateys!

There be a game lecture on Tuesday from 1:30 until... whenever we finish getting our stuff together! See you there.

(Also, I've got the top-down view working and all that - even though it means you can no longer shoot - so we'll be able to use UDK to preview all of our level stuff, including baking lightmaps and collision. For collision to work without my having to fiddle around with it a lot, please make a collision mesh for each object in your level that requires collision. So, for example, if you have a bench, and it's called "SuperBench", then you would create a box that surrounds the bench, and call it "UCX_SuperBench". UDK automatically detects the naming upon import and creates the collision stuff.

Note that your collision mesh needs to be made up of convex objects. If you don't know what that means, just build the mesh out of boxes. Otherwise, I can walk you through it all on Tuesday too.)

  2. My time's flexible.

    My only problem's that I've got a lot of work to do that isn't even school work. If everything's sorted for rAge during the Tuesday lecture and I don't have to do anything extra, I'll happily man the stalls for all three days. But if I end up having to spend time fixing things after the lecture, I may have to take a day or more off to get my school work done.

  5. Ahoy, mateys! Hendré here...

    Due to an unfortunately scheduled doctor's appointment, I won't be able to make it to today's game design class.

    However, I uploaded my content (level section plus remodeled and textured train) for rAge. I added the collision objects and checked that the uploaded model file works and easily links back up with its textures.

    If there are any adjustments that I need to make to my content, please send me a message via facebook or email and I will phone whoever will be able to relay this and any other information about rAge to me. Thank you in advance!

    I am available (and amped!) to go to rAge on Sunday. I can transport myself, as I know where the dome is and I'll be staying over in Randburg on Saturday night. Aaaaaand my shirt size is L. For Light. As in Light Yagami. Oh watever.

    See ya guys there!
