Looking good ^Ghost! You should rotate the wood texture on these planks imo.

Holy crap, I remember that map, Chretien. It's good to see you're still working on it. The lighting is nice and moody.

Is there a half naked lady to the right who will give me a rockt-launcher?

[Noruen]

If you will find her, grab your rocketl and send her to me

[Chretien]

Holy crap, I remember that map, Chretien. It's good to see you're still working on it. The lighting is nice and moody.

Hey, thanks! But for now I just regard the map as somewhat of a playground so I haven't really put much effort into the lightning. Just tried spotlights etc. Final will be much cooler I hope.

Colonized Derwyllus...

[ShadoW_86]

Two new maps for/in Quake Live .

More about it.

Concrete Palace:


Dies Irae:

[fKd]

gratz man. they look sharp as hell! gg

[Anthem]

I checked the maps out. They aren't exactly my cup of tea, but they are good maps nonetheless. I noticed the influence on Concrete Palace from q3shw22 instantly. I love q3shw22. :L

Congrats on the releases!

[EmeraldTiger]

Daaanng ShadoW, I don`t understand how you can make these maps so quickly. How much coffee do you drink?

Congrats on the releases. Maybe Palace could see a spot in the next IEM?

[Noruen]

[fKd]

thats one sweet skybox noruen. have you got portals working? i forgot to send ya the .map. you still need it?

[fKd]

ps: nor3ctf1.zip readme 27 Sep 2010 20.26MiB review submitted

[Noruen]

fKd - yes, it is working now, BUT for some reason, q3map2 do not want to compile light with this skybox (program stop responding/working and is terminated by Win) But I don't need your map anymore And thanks for submission! I can't wait for next LvL actualization )

[fKd]

i did not review it, but i knew you would be happy it had finally been done. gratz on ya first release

[obsidian]

Checked your Q3Map2 log file? It usually spits out an error if it stops working.

[obsidian]

Testing radiosity on global illumination. This compile took 110 seconds with 6MB of raw lightmap data. I still need to fix some of the artifacts, I think from the penumbra or maybe from sampling...

[Noruen]

Erm... I can't find q3map2 log file can you help me?

Screen - it is Q3 engine? That looks great i like that effect on the end of the shadows.

[obsidian]

Yeah, it's Q3 test map. The effect at the end is the penumbra effect, I think I set too high a value and lowering it slightly looks a little more natural. Here are some more shots after some tweaking:

Whoops, rainbow edges!

How are you compiling your maps? I'm using a batch file and making it output everything to a text file. Most front-end programs will do the same. GtkRadiant shows the output in the editor console.

[Noruen]

hmm.. but it looks really good. It is some special compile command to create this penumbra? Only sad thing is, that so smooth shadows are impossible in map because of lightmap size

And q3map2 doesn't write any error:
