I would agree with fKd, as someone who reviews demo reels this to me was a bit heavy on the teleporter bit and the time before we fade into the reel took a bit long. There is some nice looking work in there (everything from 2:20 until the end of the reel looked great), but what stood out to me at th...

Very nice stuff there Sock! The lighting is great in the latest ones. Makes me want to open radiant up and play around again.

I agree with godlike's comments, get the layout right first then add your visual style to the map. You seem to have the visual and artistic ability to create your own custom assets, that will just be a bonus in the long run. As for what you currently have I personally am liking the organic theme and...

Visual style looks interesting, almost reminds me of a Metroid or Zelda like style with the glowing textures. I'll try and play test it with some friends this weekend and give you some feedback. From running around it, it initially feels like it should have some intense combat areas.

Did you type buildcubemaps in the console once you loaded the map? Looks like they havent been built.

It'll probably be at least a month as I am incredibly busy with work to put much time into it. It's a sunday afternoon project right now.

Nice to still see some cool work being madea round here. Haven't posted anything in over a year so here goes. Heres something I started last spring but haven't got around to finishing yet. Been workin on and off again for it at home, gonna try and finish it up. Needs some layout tweaking still and s...

We are roughly 30 people now.

er thanks, I havent touched Q4 in a month due to work and real life stuff. Someone at work talked me into making it into a CTF map, so maybe I should get back to working on it.

I was lookin into it, I had some improvement. I can try and take some time this weekend to continue tweaking. I have my own projects on the go as well so its not a top priority.

Yeah its been cleaned up quite a bit already since I posted those, Im only about 5-6 hours in. Its easier on the eyes.

Yeah I mentioned the lighting / contrast issue. Its just a few hours in to it so it'll be tweaked. My fps are locked at the cap tho with my settings on high. No light overlapping at all. I'd love to get a cel shaded texture set to work with again, I'll have to make the best with what I've got availa...

Started Mod work this weekend. Early shot of main base area. Remake of one of my q3 maps. Need to add more contrast to the textures/lighting.

Q4PoW - Vacant

Managed some progress. Some areas portal nicely, while some others are still having mjor problems, but on average my FPS have gone up anywhere from 10-30 fps. Some areas Im maxed or near max FPS. I also removed alot of lights to try and help, there is still alot of overlapping tho. If you want the ....

Yeah I was just reading the novel on the Q4 boards. I'd only make a change if it was necessary to increase performance so the map is more playable. I'd also try and blend it into the theme so its not like a huge noticable thing.

Alright I'll take a look after work tomorrow and see what I can come up with. Are you alright if I make some slight structural changes to make the visportals work a bit better?

Maybe this will make up for the DM6 I never finished for DOOM 3 a year ago heh.

OK I spent 20min to see what you had there. It looks good but its going to need alot of work to get it to play right. Don't want to come off as negative here just tryin to help. First off heres a bit of vis work in the lower area. I managed to improve my fps by about 20. It would be alot higher but ...

Still need help with the map?

Looks like its coming along ok, be cool if you incorporated a new theme into it though. Something other than the gothic Q3 set, make it your own.

We haven't officially announced anything but we will have a site up for the new Prisoners of War mod soon at the following location.

Be nice to see that organic stuff with some lighting on it fjoggs. Since my hard drive died a few weeks back and I lost my other WIP, I decided to try something I havent done before and do a lil bit of realism work. My first attempt, about 6 hours in so far. Depending on how many movie geeks are on ...

Heres some pics to help ya visualize along with what kaz said.

I have 3 main lights that overlap a little bit to give it an even look.

Not doing anything special with the lights I know of, I have alot of them placed all around for smaller details and such. FPS are maxed out at 60fps cap for the most part, theres 1 or 2 spots where it dips to 40 cuz I have some lights over lapping that I gotta tweak. My system is only an AMD 2000+ a...

Ya I was playin with the glass last night trying to give it some light effects but it hasnt turned out yet, this is not final by far so I have quite a bit left to do. ANd ya its DOOM 3 but Im making these for concepts for a Q4 mod I'd like to get a head start on by having some already completed sour...
