Lukin,
that is the reason this is a Dicussion II thread

I already got very valuable feedback, that IMO certainly improved the alpha: A spanking new skybox, and thanx to the Obsitian info from the q3map2 shader manual I am using the latest and "nicest" options for skybox lighting.

SOAPboy,
irconically I could hand out a new pk3 every day. since my pk3's are always complete. I do not pack them at the last second, I never test anything but up to date pk3 files. But it would be a huge disappointment and a waste of bandwidth, since the map is basically just that one "room".

Thats one map that needs some bloom for once.

Bloom? Info to that / link?

I am ready to try new things... I already read up on _skybox (sky portals) and will try that soon.

Works similar to the gaussian blur just for for lights and bright (fx) textures, very nice effect indeed.

sumatra,
yeah! I always liked bloom in game like Tron. But I was not aware this was possible in q3a. If this indeed is possible for Q3A and someone knows of a tutorial, I'll add it.

The only "cheapo bloom" AEglow has sofar are the autosprites.

UP TO NOW it is not "possible", but if some nifty guy could add things like this to the source, everyone should be happy.
(dunno if there are big performance hits though, in Nexuiz it seems so)

Finally I want to see/feel your map flowing on my system.
When do we get your first alpha?

sum

Pitty about the bloom in q3a

... but then again that's the way it goes...

If there should be an "enhanced q3a" that becomes mainstream. Who knows a small map might be build for it

That's beauty, trying to make cool effects in a map that isn't mainstream and that everybody else do. If bloom and HDR would be possible in vQ3E, then everybody would have cranked out maps like yours, I'm most sure of it, Q3 is a good game to make maps like that, fast with alot of colors...

... and it *will* disappoint...

Post by **Lenard** » Sat Jan 14, 2006 10:57 pm

I don't think it is really built up to much. No offense, you know. I personally would love to see a beta.

Nah, I definitely won't go this far. I know a map of you won't disappoint me (I just want to express that it'll take a little longer for one of your q3a maps to get finished).

Post by **AEon** » Sat Jan 14, 2006 11:59 pm

Hope to be able to concentrate on mapping again. If so, it could be out in a week of intense mapping. *keeping fingers crossed*...

sweet :>

maybe I should finish one of mine too. ho ho :icon26:

Post by **AEon** » Sun Jan 15, 2006 9:26 pm

I started to sketch out the running paths, hope they work out... screenshots as soon as I have something to show.

ooOO Can't wait to see AEsafe. I had the beta you put out back in 2003, but lost it along with the computer I had it in =/ and yours had an .aas file => woot!
