If you want to go to India, then be prepared to the EXTREME pollution. I mean, imagine the worst you can, it will always be worst than what you think.

Literally moutains of trash at each corner (I'm not joking), and they put fire in them ! Extreme air pollution and noise from the cars, tuk-tuks, motos and all the diesel electric generators everywhere (since they are having frequent electrical problems each day).

Even the cows are eating the old journal papers (and other pieces of trash) lying on the ground.
There are HUGE piles of shit and liquid poo everywhere on the street and the sidewalks. And I mean it : HUGE ! If you don't look carefully while walking, I garanty you'll put both your feet into some deep puddle of - smelly - liquid poo. And the shit isn't just from the cows : humans shit in the street too, and the porks, dogs, ...

Delhi is probably the worst polluted place on Earth !

If you want to see the trash, I could post some pictures of it, but it will not be funny !
And it would be off-topic anyway.

Sounds like Shambler's perfect vacation place.

#84 posted by JneeraZ on 2014/07/10 16:52:07

That sounds like something to experience though. :)

We went to Istanbul, Turkey last year and it was amazing. We saw and did so much cool shit, I can barely remember it all.

Travel is something best done when you're young - I wish I had caught the bug a few decades ago. If you have the vacation time and the funds, stop thinking about it and go. It's a HUGE world out there and you'll never run out of stuff to see and experience.

If you're an artist, then I recommend travel even MORE strongly. Get that visual library built up.

For example, this thread is full of great reference pics of architecture but it doesn't replace the experience of actually walking through those places, touching the walls, smelling the air. Experiences are irreplaceable.

On a side note, travel also allows you see what a ridiculous bubble we Americans live in and live your life with some good perspective on our sense of self importance. Once you're in a different country you stop getting barraged by celebrity gossip, advertising, talking heads on TV, and all the trivial shit that seems so important to people when you're in the bubble.

Travel. It's worth it.

Now ... back to the map jam! Sorry...

I think Americans would be surprised at what Britain is really like. It's not harry potter.

#89 posted by - on 2014/07/10 20:20:57

...who the fuck thinks it's Harry Potter? In the Harry Potter universe, dentists exist. Clearly that is not Britain.

The men are all Mr. Bean, and the women Spice Girls, and no one knows how to spell "Color".

Having never been there, I assume all the food is boiled. I need to travel there at some point to dispel my misconceptions...

Playing With The Prefabs And A Skybox

@Fifth, that's cool that blocking out is working for you. might have to try the same thing

#92 posted by Tronyn on 2014/07/11 00:55:08

Re: ericw
Well that looks awesome, the skybox in particular.

Re: Cocerello
I'm using a few extra textures from Heretic 2's Palace set, which contains some arabian designs in gold and blue.

Re: Travel
Sucks about the pollution in India, that's somewhere I'd definitely like to go in the future. I've always wanted to see Istanbul, that seems like one of the great cities in terms of world history.

Just Wondering

#93 posted by Breezeep_ on 2014/07/11 01:56:41

If one of us wants to start all over, are we allowed to do it?

Are You Scrapping Something?

#94 posted by Tronyn on 2014/07/11 02:13:28

upload the source if so!
also I'm going to upload some prefabs probably on the weekend.
what texture do people use for a door in an ikwhite map?

Yeah, I Might Scrap It

#95 posted by Breezeep_ on 2014/07/11 02:17:01

I hope there is room for time or extensions.

That looks very cool.

I use ''adoor10_1'' from DoE, it fits very well, but there is several ones from Hexen 2 that fit the ikwhite set.

**Willem, you are never too old to travel. It is just harder to do it, and harder to abandon the life you are used to. Kids and wifes make it harder too, but for the first you have your grandfathers.

Once you're in a different country you stop getting barraged by celebrity gossip, advertising, talking heads on TV, and all the trivial shit that seems so important to people when you're in the bubble

Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to the people of those countries you visit. That happens in every country, as long as there is enough people that has enough lack of worries and enough time to get bored so they care for those kinds of things to get rid of boredom and fit into society. You stop getting barraged is because you are in a different and strange for you environment, apart from several other reasons.

Personally I use wdoor6 and wdoor8 from the ikwhite wad as door textures, they work very well.

Two more pictures, still not compiled. We're getting there.
