Howdy folks. Welcome to the month of August! This month is special for many reasons. 1st, I start college this month, and I am very happy about that. 2nd, this is the month of lightmaps. I have finished every lightmap required for the 10 MP maps in Infested. They look great, and I’ve figured out a great new way of lightmapping inside areas. With those lightmaps out of the way, I can make the 5 Survival maps, and then get back to work on other stuff. Right now, my biggest problems are AI (not too hard, but it takes a while) animation, and misc. bugs. Besides that, things are going smoothly. I’m sorry I couldn’t show some pics of lightmaps, but Brian hasn’t released the latest version of the dim3 beta, which contains some fixes I need, as well as some important shaders.

I’ll see you next week.
