Quake3World

My first attempt at Q2W mapping. It’s large tdm, and ffa map. Composed of 3 main , big and open areas, connected by few smaller rooms, and corridors nest. Fast paced action, in brutal post Quake 2 environment .

Map comes with Quake2World

very nice

@g0th: I like the updated version with the close range camera angle a lot better. Though having an open door with glooming light as a focal point has been used many times before, I think it works pretty well in this case. Those pillars are great, I like the mystical look they have.

@ShadoW_86: Looking really nice, solid layout and clean texturing but I think you could use some more interesting shapes in your geometry. Or simply add some more hanging wires or pipes like in the 7th picture to avoid the blocky look. The white lights on the walls and the ceilings don't add too much to the atmosphere, imo. Maybe give them a slightly different color? the small green lights on the floor are a nice touch.

I still come here to check out stuff. What I find here lately is a lot of bickering, whining and no screenshots. Maybe get back to the essence of this topic?

Thank you,
UniKorn

BJA: Thanks, I'm glad you like it

ShadoW_86: looking very good for q2

Here's another update

hay shadow those screenshots look wicked, the only thing i would change is the red and blue pipe texture, looks a little to streched. but great work none the less

very early q2w stuff:

I've been updating wdm4 lately:

WIP: cpm layout



Great to see the community still being alive and creative..

@sumatra: Nice looking layout!

Playing around with UT3...

Thanks, you can check out the layout in this thread. Feedback is very welcome.

Nice graphical contrast screenshot compared to mine

Wicked!

nice phantazm11

now get some cool lightning in there!

My winsock wrapping net library at work:

Takes 4 lines of code to create a socket, listen for incoming connections, receive data from established connections, and then do something with the crap you receive.

Currently only deals with TCP/IP connections but I plan on adding UDP support.

This is going to tie in to that "transparent tiger" shot I posted earlier

phantasm11: Are those all stock or custom assets? Whereas the screenshot looks really nice, if it is all stock assets then I'm somewhat less enthusiastic about it - because of the homogenous tones and lighting.

From experience with mapping for ut3 I know that achieving good lighting is a pain in the neck as all the emitted light gets washed out during the lightmapping process. If you want your level to stand out from others, I suggest you do some thorough experimentation on this subject. Ut3 can look great, but examples are very, very rare.

What bothers me most about the game (ignoring the bollox weapon system) is the difficulty to distinguish characters from the level due to the aforementioned washed out lighting, and other effects such as DOF and overly used fog volumes.

shush Im stoked on my first time doing any network-related programming with an API I'm completely unfamiliar with :P

The cool part about it that you can't see is the flexibility of the (templated) wrapper classes and how they deal with protocols.

On a side note, I had originally intended to just write a MUD but decided to separate the net code into a reusable static lib for other projects.

The next shot will have parallax occlusion mapped text

told ya they'd end up working together

That text is being received from my simple server.

You can't see it here but the text scrolls up so every time it gets new data, the previous data scoots up a line.

I need to constrain it within a chatbox now.

it's testing!

Google for opengl console. Or just click the link. =)

Though it won't hurt to learn this all by yourself, either. To paraphrase Mortal Kombat: "There is no knowledge that is not power."

Hey there, first post here

Here's something I'm working on for Quake2world:
All textures were made fron scratch.

Test render of some bamboo that I painted the textures for and modeled in a couple of hours. I have normal and specular maps for it as well, but not rendered in this screenshot.
