Hmm, what is sketchup? Could I use that for making dev-layouts kinda, just to see, not play, maybe for mor realistic CS maps and such?

The mods I am working in (x-battle,GTR,deltactf) are all using proper func_liquids and I know q4max have planned this for the future. so if you could skip q4base compability just load your map in one of those mods and get us some proper lavaKat wrote:It's MP.
The lava is 'faked' atm (I'm wondering whether to hold on for the 1.3 PR which syncerror said *might* have lava and things like that in it), it's just a flat texture that's lit with an ambient light which has a nice 'side effect' of making the texture look like it's emiting light whilst allowing everything else to be lit properly.
The rock texture has changed slightly and has now got a 'blend' between two types. Also inadvertantly found an interesting way to reduce the obvious effects of tiling by using blended textures, which is neat for this type of stuff.
Still a lot of work to do though becasue the whole thing is modelled and cut into about 50 or so different sections.
If it will be in 1.3 stays in the dark but there is hope.

Probably the first time I actually posted in this thread
The layout is by Wildfly and this was planned to be used as a Q4 map, that may still happen. I was annoyed by all the drawbacks of Q4, and "hacked" the map into Q3A (default textures etc.) to get much better feeling for how the map plays against bots.
The map is basically 4 or so concentric circles, with different height levels. This is also my first patch only map (presently using something like 20 bushes max).
Build time sofar 3 days. Also "my" very first Tourney map :icon30:

That looks very good however I cant say i'm fond of the lighting, simply because i hate lightmaps now 
I cant help but think it would look nice in Quake 4, with a full ambient light for the level and then subtle shadows everywhere else?

Should Wildfly not do the Q4 version, I am seriously thinking of asking folks here to do the lighting. Sofar Q4 lighting makes me weep... I have no idea how it could ever possibly look good... sigh.

a couple more shots from map #2 of my WIP. this map is 95% done now
the first is the second ravine, where you get harassed by a heli and shot at by an APC. good times

this is the combine cablecar waystation, cut into the cliffs near the coast, where you switch cars

Uncanny what you folks are turning out with the D3 engine (Q4)...
Here a bit more old-school Q3A low poly mapping:
"Leet" glow boxes.

Dude i'm tellin you, the map would look so awesome in Quake 4.
Tell you what, if you want to copy/past a small tiny bit of it, with that texture, i could ive you a quick lighting preview of the area?

Source will be available once the Q4 version is done.
But help will then greatly be appreciated.

I need to make headway into this too, now I've got some free time.

hm ~ so far i came up with this myself.
~ the video tutorials one the http://www.sketchup.com homepage help a bit though.
i noticed that the program has some weaknesses with the 'follow me' tool in combination with round surfaces. the 'follow me' tool spans a certain geometry along an edge. similiar to the lathe modifier in 3ds.

Download the sketchup 5 pro trial from http://www.sketchup.com , instead of the free google version, this comes with a intro-tutorial which shows you all the basics you need. You'll be amazed, it's the most user friendly intro ever :]Foo wrote:Can you point me to good tutorials, or are the google provided ones sufficient?

Added a few more windows and a central arena "sculpture":
Should have a downloadable (non-fileplanet) version out tomorrow.
First I need to add a caulk hull and hint brushes to optimize the FPS. Max r_speeds is about 10-13 K even though everything is rendered all the time.

whats that boat for? for when sealevel rises 200 meters? 
looks cool though
I think the lower two wooden parts would be more interesting if they, like the top wooden part, were to be a bit extruded next to the red-ish (concrete?) part of the structure.

I like it! I guess the boat will be able to fall and break the ledge below? =)
