Natural Selection 2 Spark SDK Mapping Tutorial #1 (Spark Level Editor)

[Freelancerk1bbles]

oh no, not subtractive environments. Those things have world leak problems.

[Cs4DoN]

Wow that amazing it looks so easy and if you know Google Sketchup this would be so easy to get used to.

Man I wish Hammer editor was like this.  Seriously so tired of having to compile the map to check a light and or manually moving assets and wasting time on dumb tasks that should be automated. And valve their paying money for their level designers to compile a map to check a light. Improving the tools would save money, makes no sense.

Do they honestly not have a displacement tool? Is this the fucking stone age?

Other than that, it's a very impressive editor, but if there's honestly no displacement/mesh tool, it sort of REALLY limits what you can make with the game engine.

Ah finally got it :)

[Flashkirby99]

I'm not sure, but the geometry creation seems a bit like google skecthup. If it is, that would be awesome.

PLZ HELP @ 4:44 when you say it's smart enough to face the right way right? what if i want it to face the other way? PLZ HELP

[GodSince1994]

[laptopchampion]

kinda bland level design, can he make anything other than rooms and hallways?

[Asiancomedian]

Yes, the first thing you want to teach complete newbies is advanced architecture, smartass.

Subscribed just to get more tut videos. Good work!

[alfey1]

help! all the textures show up as black and lights do not work :(

[TheRealFlayra]

Cool! Don't forget to add the "sparkmapping" tag to this video so it shows up in our list.

[LordDumal]

method and red

[nopushbutton]

Whoa! This looks awesome :D

It looks like it wouldn't be as easy as in Hammer to make leaks and not find them until compile... a good thing!

The wall doesn't seem to embed here. I can create the rectangle in the wall but when I select it selects the whole wall including the rect.

[shoro12]

I ran into the same issue, just use the line tool to make your own square and it will work.

[Subher0]

No it doesn't work always either

[shoro12]

Does it work at all or just not all of the time? I haven't had an issue with the line tool yet.

[Subher0]

well I have alot of problems creating tudes for instance. The line tool doesnt always cut, I can't always add faces and sometimes the line tool just fails to do what I want.

[BreadMan017]

yes it's buggy, try it on a different face - I think it may have something to do with the camera's direction

[FreeMaryJane]

Hey! Very nice tutorial, thanks for your effort!

Doesn't look so hard at all.. I'm gonna get this soon.
