NedryLand
Posted: Tue Jun 24, 2008 9:01 am
K so... I think it's been too long since the last new level was released (happens to be RJ from me..), so I'm releasing a level that's been sitting around on my comp for a bit, with a few upgrades and special stuff.
When machf helped bring Dennis Nedry to life in Trespasser for East Dock, he used the Khaled level template to create NedryLand, the testing zone for making Dennis work and use all the hand-hold magnets correctly. I went ahead and used this level to test certain new models before they were put into East Dock, including the gas jeep and Nublar fencing. I have not messed with the Jeep, and I should note that some modifications were made to the subobjects and invisible instances after it was all imported into ED, so just take note if you want to take the jeep out of this level for use elsewhere.. (changes were things like scales, fine-tuned positions, sound materials, and even the removal of an object (many more were originally used for the jeep that made up the seats' physics)).
The fence has undergone an upgrade that everyone should be happy with. I've modified both of the perimeter wire models to use the optimum number of faces, a major crit of East Dock after its release. Even just in this test level, framerate has increased considerably when viewing the fence. Thanks of course goes to machf for suggesting the fix (the actual fixing was done from scratch in Max this evening). This level is probably the best way to export and use the Nublar fence objects (note that the gate was turned 180 after being imported to ED, due to the way it had to point and the end of the gate we had to be looking at; the gate it's based on opened into the dilophosaur paddock, rather than exiting a paddock, thus the inconsistency). Of course to anyone who wants to use it, note that the PerimWire models should be removed unless the fence is on the perimeter of your enclosure.
Note that the Dennis model in this level is the prototype that uses the original health meter, so I wouldn't recommend exporting him out of here...
At any rate, here is the level, such as it is. Hopefully we'll have more new ones soon. Enjoy!
