Quake3World

Btw, have you tried the other types of visportals in QuakeEdit ? I'm not sure, it seems they're like, "portals with a drawdistance".
Maybe you can post an editor screenshot or two and people can suggest visportal placements.

Gladly would. TBH its best to play Q3DM6 and then you can make your own But if you need them then i would.

Anyways, i just noticed that now, none of my vis portals are working... Strange... Is there some flag or something someplace rad has hidden!?

Well, wouldn't a few of 'our' guys (rgoer, pjw) know about this?

About the brightness: i assume your screenshots are not taken with your play config with high gamma etc. so there's no reason to worry about it.

Well i just made a small test map and i got vis working perfectly fine... I just noticed there was different vis textures, for different sizes... hmmmm...

anyone know where i can get MatchStick BSP Decompiler v1.0.1, i can't find a working dl. I'm trying to port over hub3aeroq3, but I only have the bsp. ^^

You can decompile with q3map(2).

Hey o'dium, what's your estimate on releasing this map? I actually know this map, someone remade it for UT2004, it'll be useful to get a feel for the differences in each game.

This is the area i need to vis:

That curve looks sweet as hell, I know it's 2 screenshots but still.

a good vis tut in case you needed more info

is this how your doing it?

To make a visportal all you need to do is create a brush and paint it with the common/no_draw tecture. Deselect it, and then select one surface (the surface you want to block visibility). Texture that surface with the editor/visportal texture.

yeah, already did it that way.

I gave up on the vis for now, ill take another stab at it once im done.

Thanks for the explanation, that clears things up a little. :icon14:

o'dium where will i be able to d/l ur map when ready m8
plus how do i put a picf at the side of my post :P

Few new WIP shots for you, as always, ignore some of the old textures as they are Quake 3's and will be changed:

access rouge, bitch

Looking sweet, but i'd remove the lava drain below the MH. Or at least clip it. That area needs the splash damage, especially for TDM.

Like i said before, its already weapon clipped. I thought about that myself, and found it to be impossible to hit shit, but i wanted it there anyways, and added the weapon clip so it all works nicely.

Love the look of the lava pit and the electricity above the MH.

How is it on FPS though? Bearing in mind, that the most ammount of action takes place around the MH, especially in TDM at quad time. I don't think unneeded details need to be included, though it is of course your map. But personally, i'd prefer it as close to the original as possible.

This is as close to the original as possible, with just a few added details. Trust me, leaving it just like the original with the same stuff just doesn't look right.

FPS are fine even now, and i haven't even begun vis-ing the map yet. I've optimized all lighting though.

she looks pritty dark :S

This WILL get some old gamers back into quake.

I'm sure you haven't gotten this far, but it could use more lights.

Too dark. q3dm6 is not this dark, and this game is not DOOM 3.

Either i make it bright and washed out and slow FPS, or dark and moody and fast.

Q3DM6 at default isn't very different.

You all need to remember this is a new engine, with new lighting. Anybody expecting it to look even 50% the same needs to think again. Im sorry.
