@WHAT!! that looks great, although your lights look like they're pressed up against the wall, do you use shaders? or light entities? Combination of both. I've gotta tweak the lighting a bit. I kind of rushed through that heh. I made the map in like 3 or 4 days though. I just figured I'd let it sit ...

I need to do something new so I'm done for n...

I'd tone that down a tiny bit. It looks pretty evenly lit, but also kind of bland.

@ Delirium. I don't know really, maybe there was a stone brick floor from the beginning, but when the communists came took over the place, they just put clang floor everywhere. But that was probably decades ago, local lowlifes now steals parts of the structure to sell for crack and the metal are pr...

See, I don't have one of those.

I wrote something several years ago. Should probably rewrite this again though (pretty bad at sum things down good at that time I think). I have some free time now, might actually sit down and see what I can do. Can't promise anything though, That's a good shader, using it in my new level too and w...

Is there any documentation on how to do what you just described? Also, you have a shader/texture in crescent I'd like to use, but I can't get it to work right. It's that shader of falling particles and no matter what I do the particles don't fade towards the edge of the brush after I run a compile. ...

Hipshot,

How did you get such crisp clouds with terragen? I guess I understand that as a base, but there is a lot of variation between what I've seen people do with that compared to what you've done with your skyboxes.

text Why I asked was because I'm always looking for skies like that. That's why I made mine, because I couldn't find one. Level looks good btw, maybe I need to take up some § again... edit: The blue sky would probably give the level a more epic feeling. Try the version from The Crescent level inste...

Remake of an old map. Decided to try my hand at quake 3 style rock walls. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/Sportinlife/wsw00035-2.jpg Which sky is this? A warzow stock one? It's yours doofus hahaha. It's the skybox from industrial. I ended up not using it in favor of something a little easier ...

Transparency mostly, but since I can't get from a stock image to a transparent texture I can't even begin to work on anything else. The few times I tried it wouldn't work at all and I don't know what I did wrong. Granted it was a year ago, I just wish someone had a step by step instruction on how to...

Are there any tutorials for how to make these foliage textures/shaders? I can't seem to figure out how to get these and decals working properly.

That's one of the few things I've seen from you where I can't tell if it's from you or not. I mean it has similar texture styling, but the color just doesn't seem to be there. It just seems too "quake" for what you normally do.

If you're in the US and want to play you can try out my server.

so.nuclearfallout.net

It's got all of my custom maps as well as the community map pack released alongside .5. So far we've been having a blast with the new version and the updates have been great.

Hipshot I love you and I'm so glad you didn't give up mapping.

It's too bad that for the moment, I have . Shitty gaming communities that only want to play ONE map on your server are a pain in the ass to deal with. ugh.

Lichwarts is pretty kickin' rad.

thats the point. I despise the "realistic" look and the maps all made from the same stock prefabs arranged in different patterns. I'm making this map to give people something different. I wrote custom scripts for it too to alter gameplay a bit. This map has doors that can be jammed in pla...

Well I was talking about more in terms of mapping. If the level of detail for models is this big, how the hell can the average user put together a good map on the same level with good gameplay? Not saying there arn't talented people out there, but its much easier in quake 3/warsow to make a decent l...

If you want to see that for newer games, just look at Valve's direction and you'll find it. I've been looking for decent third party stuff from Source games, and I'm just not seeing the same level of quality that I saw in quake 3. Maybe mappers are just more spread out since once you're into Unreal...

One thing I wonder about is how will this level of graphical detail play into the hands of the third party mod/mapping communities? I mean, right now it seems like anything at Id Tech 4/Source and beyond is just an incredible amount of work to do right by the hands of the average player, and bumping...

Ignore o'dicunt. Someone stuck a broomstick up his ass years ago and he never bothered to take it out.

Problem is he's been trying to normalmap the handle the whole time its been up there.

I had that problem before too, and I ended up just deleting the whole thing.

Even if they're manipulated and changed?

Neeeeeeeeevermind figured it out

Is it possible to convert half life VTF files to TGAs or JPGs to be used in quake maps? I can't find any where that says how to decompile textures from VTF back into either of these formats and I'm beginning to wonder if it's even possible.
