Site Feedback - What have you got to say?MODSonline : In The NewsCan't really fault the site. Everything's easy to find, and there's little
"elitism" from the members
However, I still think the tutorials should be sorted out a bit. A lot of
the tutorials for CoD1, UO, 2 and 4 apply to all the series and could be

I have some questionsCall of Duty : CoDUO Level DesignI've made a map nighttime by hexediting a bsp. I use HHD Hex Editor, and I
think it's freeware.
It's been a while sinse I did anything like this, but you are limited to
what values you can change as the lighting is "baked" into the map, so you

once loaded, and delete the entities ... [ more] |

Convert PK3 to .MapCall of Duty 4 : CoD 4 Level DesignDon't really want to add fuel to this, but, there was a bsp to map

sized brushes - in the same way you c... [ more] |

Lighting differenceCall of Duty 4 : CoD 4 Level Design
Ok this is with sundiffusesamples at 0.45 - so 1 might equate to 90
degrees come to think of it

the right was 6

Lighting differenceCall of Duty 4 : CoD 4 Level Designbasically fast compile renders the map as though there was only one beam of
light (per light), so you get harsh shadows.
