After making my first 3D floor map I decided to do another . Now I have two unfinished maps .

Anyway, here is my new map... I'm quite impressed . The only problem is on the first floor of the structure (bot the ground floor). Bascally, go into the structure, walk up the spiral staircase (heh, that's cool ) and look to the right... where the hell is that light coming from? On the other side on the roof of the building is a similar patch of dark... WTF is that all about? .

ummmm this wad makes the video not show on my gzdoom.......

@Lexus: You are using sloped 3D floors with light transfer properties. Those don't work properly yet

Ah, okay . I'll keep them in the level in the hope that it will be fixed later .

What do you think to my crazy architecture?

Heres a brain teaser for you: I want to have a massinine on the first floor looking down to the ground floor, so, how would I go about doing that without destroying the roof of the building?

All of this thinking in 3D and working in 2D can be taxing on the old gray matter . The biggest problem is that I'm thinking in full 3D and I want to do some intense full 3D detail... but due to limitations I can't really do it unless I create a gazillion control sectors . I'm treating these control sectors as brushes... so my mind is going into over drive . Its fun though .

TBH, all of this 3D architecture is great... but I have no idea how to make it into a playable level . I'll think of something .

Make a corporate office like Shinra, Inc. from FF7.

Heh, yeah, the possibilities have increased .

I've uploaded a slightly more up to date version. The only change is the sky box. Keep in mind that no outside textures were used. As you will see, its inspired by Unreal . Only problem is that Im starting to get some lag... it only has 5 point lights... surely I shouldn't be getting much lag?

This looks like it will be my next project . I think I'll start populating it with monsters and give the level more of a SP purpose.

You know, you can have more than one line on the control sectors tagged for a 3D floor, right? So, say, if you have multiple sectors that have different tags, but each'll have a floor at the same height, you can just make the control sector have as many sides as sectors tagged, and just have each side be for a different sector tag. If that made sense at all...

Edit: Ooof... That's not good... You say you're already starting to get lag... Lowest FPS I got was 170... Problem with that is... The big crazy city tengs to bring mine down to aroun 90 at parts... Uh oh... Methinks I may have made it a wee bit too big... Eh, we'll see what happens... Hopefully people will still be able to play it

I found some lights and scrolling skybox in the sky, was that what I was supposed to look for?

I can guarantee you that it won't happen before a 2.1.0 release. I have no desire to take this code apart for a rewrite and then having to do most of it again.

Blackfish: Ja! . It looks sexy doesn't it?

Graf: I don't mind... its a small thing . I can avoid allowing the player to walk on them for the time being.

Betasword: Say what? Do a demo wad... that should make sense .

Ah, I understand you now... thanks for that . I was making lots of different sectors for that purpose... as you probably saw .

...And then the hour of revelation hits me . Yeah, I know how to get that messanine now .

Upload some screenshots. I wanna see this map. I don't have a computer at the moment with a 3D card which is why I am asking for the screenshots. Please do not upload ones that are too dark to see. Make sure the brightness setting is high enough to see the ingame stuff.

Not many people have commented on this...

Fun with lighting and liquids that only GZDoom can pull off.
