2007.01.02 - Happy New Year
No, my map Pulse is not dead, I will finish it later, when some bugs in the tremulous engine will be fixed. The first bug (#2809) is about outdoor area that do not hurt everyone in the area, and the second one (#2757) is about spectators that failed to go through doors.
By the way, I will release the source of my map when it will be finished. This include the .map file and the terragen source file. Shaders, trail and particles are already available in the .pk3 file.

2006.06.24 - candy-eye
Tremulous Particules and trails systems are very fun, I have played with them this arfernoon and look the result in in the screenshots section. I use them to create a "rain of meteorites" outside the base ( in-game effect is VERY nice ! ). I just have one issue with bounceSound : the sound is not played.
2006.06.23 - screenshots
Three new pulse in-game screenshots has been added.

2006.06.22 - BETA 3
Next week I will release the last BETA version of my map pulse. I think that the current state of the map is pretty good. A lot of bug fixing/optimizations/enhancements has been done since the BETA 2 version.
You can add your last suggestion about the map on the official forum in this thread. Thanks.
2006.06.21 - new links
Some new links has beed added to my tips page. I have also made a list of the tools I used to create my map.
2006.06.20 - spectator teleport
The next version of tremulous will have an improved version of trigger_teleport.
A new flag ( SPECTATOR = bit 1 ) will be available to teleport spectators only.
Currently, when you create a func_door, the game engine will automatically create two teleports to allow spectators to go through doors without opening them. In some cases, the teleport destination can cross a brush and the spectator can get stuck.
2006.06.20 - outdoor hurt system
Good news, Timbo asked me that the next version of Tremulous should have a new trigger: target_hurt.
This will allow me to create ONE trigger_multible brush and connect it to a target_hurt.
BTW, I will also connect it to a target_speaker ( bip, bip ) , and a target_print displaying this private message: "[WARNING: critical temperature detected]" ( because some people do not understand why they are hurt outside the base )
