A nice collection of materials, you should probably think about distributing them in smaller files (339Mb is crazy large) Also how did you generate the normal maps? (This is mostly a curiosity thing) Once I separated out the normal/spec/bump maps there was only 175 texture (not a problem, just an observation). I like some of the names (hideous_green_tile, horrible_green_tile) they are awesome, made me laugh. My only concern with them is that some of the items are scaled crazy large like a single tile - 512x512. I am sure someone will find a use for them thou.

Also you specify on your site that the textures can be used for whatever anyone wants, (personal, commercial) are you sure you can do that with all those assets? You have a long list of websites of where I assume you originally got them from, which makes me think they are not originally yours. Don't take this the wrong way, I am just asking because one of those sites might ask you the same question.

Anyway, awesome materials set, congrats on the release.

anyone go through all those links to get the download link to the pack yet?

I didnt know where to download at first look. The huge "DOWNLOAD" looked like a headline for the following links that are placed under it.

inconsistent scale and style.

What I think he means is that usually texture packs contain textures that all fit the same theme and look and are designed to be used together. I haven't looked at the contents of your pack, but I guess there's just a collection of random textures in there that don't match each other particularly well.

The style is selfexplaining I guess.
The scale issue: there supposed to be a consistent correlation between world scale and texture pixels, in quake (or any FPS game) especially. If you have a wall 1024pix that supposed to be about several times player hight (lets say 256 units) then you' d want to have 1024pix floor texture cover the same space of 256units. But in your pack some textures are zoomed-in details of materials or surfaces that would need to be fit into something like 32 or 64 units resulting in drastic pixel density difference and visible tiling compared to the other textures that would stretch over large surfaces (like the walls ones)
(You probably know that most map editors for FPS games use universal texture scale, 0.5 in Quake3 case, 0.25 in more "modern" games)

Hope it made sense.

You seem rather defensive about this. I think lightmill is just trying to help with his opinion on how you might improve work on a well polished texture pack rather than just distributing stock textures. I'm inclined to agree with his thoughts so maybe you might want to take all this as constructive criticism.

Perhaps the confusion has to do with the label, "texture pack". I think most game developers think of a texture pack as a set of textures of a common theme, resolution, etc., that are well polished and ready to use in-game. I think the intent of your download is to create a set of "stock textures" that people can use as a basis for creating custom texture sets, but by no means are they polished and ready for final use.

Hope this clears stuff up.

Bloodyhell you're on seriously thin ice with this texture pack. If I were you I'd go a re-read the T&C's for each and every one of those sites you list because a good number of them explicitly say you can't use their material they way you are... Royalty free doesn't mean 100%-free-to-use-however-you-see-fit... right now you're bordering on being an 'open-source leach'.

I see that your 4000+ posts are mostly spam.
Read what i wrote to that gut about the licenses. Obviously it missed your tiny little brain the post where i wrote those textures can be freely redistributed.
Now since you are so vigilant i decided to update the credits part with links to sites from which base images came.

And if you really think that i will spend a sleepless night cause i might have used an image that isn't falling under the same license as those from sites i listed...pull your head out of your ass kid.
People steal and redistribute software that costs thousands of dollars. And I'm supposed to worry over few textures someone released for free? If that person wants to sue me for that...LOL go for it, I'm waiting.

And here's something to think about. If a license says "do not redistribute" it alos means do not include the texture in a package from which it can be extracted.
So you can't bundle it with a model or put it in a .pk3.

Oh wow i guess your IQ doesn't allows you to understand the license fully huh.
So now you can go and inspect every single map ever made by every mapper in Q3 community and tell him he is using a texture in a manner that violates the original authors TOS.
All of you mappers here that use textures from CGtextures, you're not allowed to use them. Mainly cause CGtextures explicitly pointed out in their TOS that bundling falls under the "do not redistribute" part of the license.

And as for the "i wont comment on the quality" part of your previous comment.
To be perfectly honest i could not care less what some internet nobody i don't know, will never meet, or has any impact on my life at all has to say about me or my work.
I think you're giving yourself a little too much credit buddy, you're not as important as you may think
Have a nice day
