I drank a couple of beers, went to the beach, and made this celtic warrior unit

You made the unit at the beach?

Dude!

You don't need to keep expanding the map to do that. Just set mesh parameters.

Hmm, I dunno... if you can't see the edge, you might fall off. That's why they made the world round instead of flat. People kept falling off.

Der Wallet....the point is you wont ever get the sense there IS an edge or end to some of the maps. i hate seeing where the world ends.

So sneaking out of the shadows, I ask:

Is this "Myth 4 thing" still going on, or what?

I guess one day, someone will make an actual emoticon for sarcasm...

But you know, I bet it wouldn't be too hard to make the world 'round' on a Myth map. Wouldn't be too hard at all.

I hope so.
I also hope they've picked a different name. But by the same token, arguments on that very topic will probably generate enough interest that more people will try it, so.... I guess that's a win-win?

Easy enough with impassable objects or terrain, but with builtin mesh edge limitations it's impossible.

Since I am looking forward to it's release, I am hoping this is the case.

Unless you did something really funky (and hopelessly confusing) like have edges teleport units to the opposite edge...

Can't you _link_ maps together so that when you get to the edge of one map you automatically go to another? Or am I thinking of solo maps? Or just hallucinating again?

reminder to self: Worktime lunch should not include shrooms.

VR they did exactly that on the first Half-Life game. when you got to the edge of a map or mission, the game would pause a second while loading the next map, that was the continuation of the map you just played.

if you got to the edge of the map and an enemy threw a grenade at you, it could even follow you to the next map! loading took like 10-20 secs i think.

making the myth world round COULD be done. By adding the correct cureviature to the map if it was big enough to warrent it.

there would be no way to even notice the effect in game so its pretty pointless, but possible......well super long range projectiles and things like that would be effected though.

It also COULD make me coffee...

Water and heat dont mix with myth DA, so no, that isnt something that COULD be done.

Teh Japanese have a computer that plays myth and makes Sushi, though you will have to wait 5 years for it outside japan.

Butcher never touched them! i still have the fucking box BUNGIE mailed DIRECTLY to me and evreybody else. when they sent out the hats.
Sorry, Ren but you wanked me so I can't read your posts.

ps. If someone else involved in MWC98 who can talk without shouting can confirm this, I'll be happy to change the info.

pps. Ren, happy to see you are reading my site. But if you really want me to change something how about giving me a url? I have thousands of pages on my site, for some reason I am not very motivated by someone yelling "FIX YOUR F-ING SITE" to go find the page you are talking about. Go figure.

I know it was a long time ago, this post, but I can shed a LITTLE light.

The MWC site said first place, secret special prize, second place, Myth caps. First place prize didn't happen, what Ren said happened, and second place prize got posted to them. One assumes they had lots of hats, or second place got none at all.
