I've fully remade the old PS2 version of Snow Blind for the PC. Just finished it last night to my immense pleasure, although if anyone has suggestions I would be happy to incorporate them.













The map doesn't look exactly the same as on the PS2 as I mapped it out by guesswork of the lengths and heights etc. but I've added a couple of nice features. Look out for the fountain.

Comments/suggestions welcome.

P.S. Map's available through the NFBSP Client, if you want it d/l it from there.

I was planning to have the spotlight turn off when someone broke the prop, but NF being NF and not Source it didn't work :P

I'm setting up an [X6] server tonight with dm_snowblind on it, maybe you lot could come on.

The pictures look nice, I will try to download. I love NFBSP client, I can even download maps now

NFBSPC rocks, I've only just started using it and it way better than the rubbishy Nightfire server dialogue thingy.

We've sort of discussed it, there was another topic on the Refraction Forum which I accidentally ended up deleting (:oops:). It's a little too hard for me seeing as NF doesn't support displacements (thats the terrain out fo the window :P), it'll be hard to estimate the length + width and finally after I've fully finished Snow Blind I'll need to start working on Refraction properly.

I mean, like, don't make it that big, just maybe cut off the corner passages through the mountains and maybe shorten up the middle but get the two houses still

Right, I've updated the map to make it more interesting. Download off NFBSPC, or if you can't find it use this: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4kwb3dwsesu. For some reason when I searched with NFBSPC I couldn't see the map so I've put it on the net in case. ;)

I Like the look of this exellent work
whats the problem with the light not going off i might be able to help with that
btw are you the same guy i was helping on modsonline

Afraid so. Soz if I annoyed you, I must have been quite pesky.

Turns out the light thingy didn't really matter, I asked Ulti and even he couldn't fix it. I was going to have the light turn off when the spotlight model was broken (which is a LOT easier to do in Source with entity I/O) but the light never turned off. If you can sort it that would be cool but it's not too much of a priority.

Is it possible to do the other snow level, Ravine, off of Nightfire?

[herbius]

I was thinking on Sunday that I could maybe map out the two buildings from Sky Rail and the two from Ravine and stick them all together in one big super fun map. I dunno how I'll have time to fit this in as I'm doing quite a lot of work for Refraction, plus we have SATs coming up, but I reckon it would be fun to make and even better to play, so I will consider it.

its actually easy in gearcraft using the enemy_searchlight entity

it can also be done with normal light or light_spot this however is more complicated
first create the desired light
then gve it a targetname light
then create a trigger relay make its targetname lights_off with its target= light and its state = off
then create a func_breakable block put this in front of light and texture it with clip so its invisible in game
in the func_breakable properties youl see an option[ trigger on break]
this is where you target the trigger relay which turns off the light
so target on break = lights_off
hope i dont confuse you!
if you like ill make an example map for you
