Hello,

I'm looking for this Quake teleporter texture to be used in Quake 3. Does anybody know if someone has remade this for Quake 3? The closest I came to find it were the teleporter textures used in Areowalk by Hubster.

Next, I'm looking for this sky, preferably moving. The only one I found was in Fjoggs his EPC map. Except I want higher resolution and no clouds. Moving like the one in Quake is a plus.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

For the teleporter texture - maybe make your own? It's easy to do...

For the sky, I didn't understand what you mean?

I want to have it as an sky in Quake 3. So it has to be a completely working skybox.

If I would know how to make textures and write shaders for them, I wouldn't have opened this thread :P
But thanks for suggesting.

Hey J, u actually mapping again? Cool.
I believe Hubster's Aerowalk used a q3 version of that teleporter shader, u might wanna take a look )

Yo dawg, his name is tabun.

@Infernis:
You can get very simular results with a simple noise filter and a bit of painting.

Really Obsidian? I didn't know Google let you look for images

I guess I'll have to make my own skybox then. Thanks for the tip about Tabun, it got me an awesome teleporter

Seriously? Am I missing something here?
I thought I asked an legitimate question on a forum that's always been helpfull through the years. Why the noob treatment all of a sudden?

My point was that you can roll your own (and probably a better looking one) in about 5 mins using some modified stock images. It was a legitimate suggestion. The quote is from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

None of it was meant to be offensive or condescending. I think you're being overly sensitive over nothing.

The general vibe on these boards has become a bit sarcastic, though.
Probably inevitable, after dealing with the same shit for 13 years.

I didn't know the reference to Kubrick's movie. Therefore I thought you were saying something like use Google you dumb.....
Now that you have explained, I understand and in that case, I appreciate the suggestion. I knew I could render it, but having the stars slowly move around and stuff, that seems tricky. I'll guess I'll settle for a static skybox for now.

Thanks

I followed Obsidian's suggestion and I'm currently trying to make my own skybox.

I've made the necessary images and saved them like this:

starfield_ft.tga
starfield_lf.tga
starfield_up.tga
starfield_bk.tga
starfield_rt.tga
starfield_dn.tga

The size of each image is 1024*1024 and it's saved with 32bits/pixel resolution.

I created a map called spronyq3dm2 in the env folder and made a new folder called starfield. I placed all 6 images in the starfield folder. I added spronyq3dm2.shader to my shader list and I used this shader:

Quote:

textures/spronyq3dm2/starfield
{
qer_editorimage env/spronyq3dm2/starfield/starfield_lf.tga
surfaceparm noimpact
surfaceparm nolightmap
//red green blue intensity degrees elevation deviance samples
q3map_sunExt .78 .86 .94 200 290 75 2 32
q3map_skyLight 150 6
}

When I open GtkRadiant I can select the spronyq3dm2 folder, I see the starfield shader. I apply it in a test map, compile it and the skybox doesn't show. I get the famous black and white texture. I checked all the paths. What am I missing here? Even though the texture doesn't show, the room is still illuminated by the sky.

Thanks in advance.

You're missing the reference to the actual images in your shader. Add this to the shader:

Quote:
skyparms env/spronyq3dm2/starfield/starfield - -

including those last two dashes
