I used cycle walls, rim walls, and zones. I edited the rim and cycle wall textures to change the color and tonality. The way I see it, every thing that is part of Arma is fair to use and manipulate in order to realize a creation.

Your curves are coming along nicely!

And you were the creator of the cardboard tron movie? Very nice! I saw it several months ago. Very cool. Have you seen "ScanTron"? It's also very clever.

yes, i can figure out now how complex is art-magetron...
with multiple ways to use the game for touching art.
even with the sounds... a melody could be made with motorsound
for example, like they did with that ferrari F1 car.

yep, we were 2 creators, sharing the job.
ok i'll see scantron!

* new drawing, pure, then "painted"

"hellow3" looks amazing. The moiré is really neat. It looks like a friend saying goodbye through a screen door. Can you explain about "painting"?

it always happen with the grid, i've seen it myself [in gimp], so i doubt it's intentional

It occurs to me... has anyone tried re-enacting the Tron light cycle sequence in Armagetron?

Wow, what a fantastic idea. If there was a way to program the cycle movements I'd be all over that shit. Is there a way?

On a side note, I just made a server the other day that is a 3v3 set up like the movie, but cockpit mode only. Word on the street is that it pretty much kicks ass. I felt like I had to do it since there currently isn't a server like that.

I think it might be possible to do something clever with an aa recording...

We talked about it some time ago. Determined the hardest part of re-enacting is the point where the two blue cycles come in together and ride side by side, core dumping the gold cycle.

The problem isn't cycle_width, it's doing the offensive maneuver without crashing.

I'd be willing to do a few runs where we just have one cycle come in to the other wall like always happens anyway, but y'all know me, perfectionist and all.

The rest, well, there's a lot we'd need to choreograph to get it to work. The maze Flynn goes in isn't exactly shown as anything but an in-cam view, and a cheesy one at that. So we're free to construct our own maze, but it would have to be choreographed quite a bit. There might be room for improvising it, with the right players (and appropriate chemistry), but you have to get the left/right turn sequence right.

"painting" because i used the "paint" windows program.
i dont really like it and i usually do photoshop
but with paint i had a good filter to retrieve the grid graphical power...
that gives this moiré

it truly does kick arse. we did the same thing at the most recent cheers admin meet just to emulate it.

another drawing, the superdeath spiral.

here are my camera settings, so i can see how to draw from the sky:

CAMERA_CUSTOM_BACK -20
CAMERA_CUSTOM_RISE 50
CAMERA_CUSTOM_PITCH -30

you can put these lines in a file named draw.cfg
put this file in the config directory
during game, when you want this file's settings, open the console and type:
sinclude draw.cfg
if you want original custom view settings, open the console again and type:
sinclude settings.cfg
