Whoa!

Just found a Q3DM17 picture.

Thats Doom 3, hence the shitty textures, shitty lighting, shitty sky box, and Doom 3 mega health.

And Doom3 pentagrams.

Post by **Eraser** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 9:32 pm

Yeah I almost choked, it looked so awful. Then I saw the pentagrams and realised it had to be a custom D3 map.

Some mod remove that shit, my god It's a disgrace to any mapper.

DM17 was always a horrible map. I wish they actually remade maps that people still play.

Post by **Foo** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 9:39 pm

lol @ the floor textures.

Post by **brisk** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 9:39 pm

Or better yet, don't remake any at all, and spend the time to build decent original maps.

brisk4dm1 for the win

Disagree. New maps should of course *always* be indevelopment, but bringing old maps across to new games is a really good thing. It encourages more switchovers from the older games, and avoids leaving behind quality hard word in design.

This dm17-in-d3 hack job still looks better than Quake 4's tbh :/

So to have soft per pixel shadows like Riddick, expect to not have a frame rate.
riddick works pretty ok on my pc. but ss reduces performance a lot, thats true, still playable tho
Riddick is smooth as silk on mine, too. But enable shader 2.0++ and it will destory it.

i mean 2.0++
