Re: Items or entities that could be created

You might want to describe a little more about what makes your mod different though, scripting may be used more in one type of map than others. I can see it being used in a limited extent on a CTF or something but not so much on a DM. It wont be especially different to anything, it's the more polis...

Re: Screenshots

I'd suggest a higher resolution electricity effect, it's not of the same quality as the rest of the scene.

Re: Items or entities that could be created

Good stuff so far, keep going. =)

AEon: ideas for a project I'm involved in.

Anything more subtle? Something I've always thought would add options for mappers is a half-mega item that adds +50 health and can take you over 100.

Items or entities that could be created

Are there any in game items or entity types missing from Quake 3 that you think should be added? I'm mainly interested in gameplay but technical ideas would also be interesting to hear.

Re: Screenshots

Your map looks amazing as one would expect of a hipshot map. :P One suggestion- the square bounce pad looks rather jarringly out of place and less subtle than the rest of the map's style.

Controlling radiosity bounces saved to lightmap

Does anyone know if it's possible to do a light map compile with bounce and save only the light map data for light bounces after the first with q3map2?

Re: Screenshots

That looks good but I'd question the gameplay of excessively deeply indented walls like that. It's really bad for rockets, grenades and judging knockback. It also tends to mean giant invisible clips that prevent you fitting into gaps you should be able to, further worsening the problems I listed.

Re: Screenshots

Very atmospheric $Null, one minor crit- in the 2nd from last shot the scale of the cobbles(?) looks a little larger than it'd be realistically. Otherwise very good, looks like it's for a noir-ish modern RPG.

Re: Q3A texture pack (GPL)

I found it a little odd that you seemed to attack the PMX project while being involved in your own OpenArena project, calling it a clone while yourself producing a clone. The only implication that seemed to make sense is that you think we should be working on OpenArena as well; as we're using differ...

Re: Q3A texture pack (GPL)

Ah, so this explains your bolshy comment before. The textures look pretty good, although leilol and misanthropia are correct, you cannot reuse id's shaders and you do need to list where the textures came from, if I were in leilol's position I'd have said the same things.

Re: Uniform lightmap scale on all brushes?

Grid size is a very different kettle of fish cutting the bsp for vis purposes (_blocksize which is best set to 0 0 0 and manual cuts made to giant leafs), I vaguely remember the switch you're talking about which makes the hints(?) also cut geometry as they did for Quake 2. This really would be an ex...

Re: Uniform lightmap scale on all brushes?

There are two approaches as far as I'm aware to this issue. The problem you're encountering is that Quake 3 lightmaps are made of 128 by 128 textures, all stitched together. As I understand it a single brush face can only be on one lightmap texture, not spread across multiple textures, this means th...

Re: School BETA

Fun map to move around in and the theme's cool and done well. One crit would be that you should try being far more careful with player clip around the map edges. It suffers from a lot of invisible walls, try to make it more visually logical that your path is blocked rather than cutting off areas tha...

Re: Looking for texture artists for the PMX project

What users prefer is entirely subjective. I don't think it's unjustified to say a design that's carefully considered after a decade of play could improve upon id's original. id's designers hadn't had that time to play the game and most of them can't strafe jump nor aim beyond a beginner level.

It isn't going to be significantly different, it's the next iteration so we're attempting to further improve the refinement and add some new movement ideas, improve the balance and change the weapon set a little. Basically doing what CPMA does better. To a non-player it would seem very similar, to a...

Re: Looking for texture artists for the PMX project

It's certainly a fairly specific target audience, which we would like to grow. We have a niche that we're good at and that games companies aren't serving, it makes no sense to attempt to move outside that niche and compete with the industry and what many other mod teams are doing.

Clones are copies made without understanding, what we make is better than id's design.
