Quake3World

lololololol

That looks awful... the terrain, the misaligned textures on the walls...

The map in your first post reminded me of Kineterra - biiiig map with mountains, I love that one.

Is this your first level?

as a base thats not to shabby, how do you go about setting up ya gameplay elements? (ie layout) or are you just building on the fly?

if ya need feedback etc post up a early build and let us see whats going on. keep at it man. oh on a side note, try not to mix gothic with tech/base textures... for some reason ppl frown on that. also try using a different texture for the floors, give it a little more contrast.

I can see you're really making good progress there.

In one pic there, is that a red health pickup, or what is it?

Edit: Something that you can actually use: Try and lower the texture scale. It looks like they are 2/2 or even more now...

Hang in there. There's a lot to learn, and it's always harder when you're just getting started.

Does that mean you're going to fix those ones up there?

I use this dobsp2map.bat batch file to decompile maps: You are probably aware of this, but the light entities will then be missing in the .map file - since the lighting is "baked" into the lightmaps.

My tip to you is to buy a pencil and paper (just plain white) and draw some concepts. Layout from above and what sort of arcitecture you want in your map. Look at your surroundings (in real life). Get inspired and learn about colouring 101.

sir_vival: Quake3World is not your blog. I haven't locked this thread yet because I had no idea what to make of it. If all you want to do is post screenshots of what you are working on, please post in the dedicated screenshots thread, it's why we have one. Thanks.

Also, keep the level of uhhhh... I'm not sure what to call it... down. Reading your posts is like watching someone on acid and a sugar high bouncing off the walls.

how very zerofactor.
