My Q4 version of q3ctf4.

(i started new topic because i didnt want to revive the old thread on the second page)
I know waterboy's looks slightly better but its too much like The Longest Day, I wanted to have it so that it wouldn't follow THD's theme. I've added more decals and floating team icons and turned off shadows (for now) here's my screens:

you should remove those railgun ammo packages up on the platforms.

It looks worse than the q3 version ;p Is brown the only shade of color that accompanies every q4 texture?

There IS a reason why tiled repeating textures liek those tiles are not to be used on space maps. I.e. dont use them, they look awful.

well, part of mapping is making it look as good as it plays.

You dont have to be good at texturing. You just need eyes. Do you really look at those pics and think "damn that looks good!"???

Tel lyou what. Select those tiled surfaces and texture them with a flat metal texture that has no edges (i.e. is just a flat texture), and see how much better it looks.

I hope you got the scale right. In the other one there's not enough space to walk around on the platforms. Too small...

If it's a 1:1 port of the q3ctf4 brushwork, it will be cramped in Q4 because the player model is bigger (taller) in Q4. That's why i mentioned the scale; you need to widen things up a bit if you want to give the map the same feeling as it had in Q3.

those textures look like bad shag carpet. I vote for redoing them with metal or something like o'dium said.

Post by **ensiform** » Wed Nov 23, 2005 2:08 am

already did, no screens for now.

You wil lgrow to find some people can never be pleased, unless its exactly like they want.

Keep it how you want or you willl find out (like i ahve) that you will never finish anything. Something will always be out of place.

Post by **jester!** » Wed Nov 23, 2005 6:30 pm

I think more accuratly, you will never please everyone.

Find a small enough sample group and you may appease everyone, but the whole of the internet? Not likely.

Now hey o'dium, get back on that dm6 remake.

Why remove the other one?

Runningman wrote:lil advise....DO NOT SCALE THE MAP

Why not? You want cramped platforms to prevent camping? Many void deaths though.

2x RG ammo makes it a rail only map.

Stop remaking q3 maps.
