The more I think about it, the more the second one looks less "Regurgitated disco horror."

Definitely better. 

use fullbright pixels on the lights???

and yes, please go in the no-colour direction! <3 

Of course wihtout colour is more Quakey, we are more accostumed to that in Quake. Provide both versions, if someone doesn't want the colour, he has it easy just by removing the .lit file

In the coloured version i like the violet coloured glass at the left. I think that more subtle colour in the rest of the lights is better for Quakey feeling. Non-coloured shot feels a bit dull, maybe it is just a feeling i have after seeing the coloured version, maybe it is because it is mostly black and white textures, maybe it needs stronger contrast in shadows or some spot that calls you to look at.

The third shot is perfect. don't change it. It feels like a shot from a recent high-technology graphics game.

Fourth is good too, maybe the texture used in the inner part of the window at the right ...

RingofQuaddamage, i can't give you a decent opinion as the last time i played Doom was 20 years ago, but those look good, maybe less of that brown texture. 

no color looks way better, but i like the idea of just providing the lit file, for the colorblind under us;)

And that fleshy thing is cool, reminds me of Zerst�rer maps. 

but the lighting is a bit dull. 

quake doesn't have to be black&grey only. i like colored lights, just make them less intensive. only mild color tint here and there would be enough. 

there from tronyn. :) 

even to us colourblind, the coloured version is a rainbow overload. no colours pls.

bw3 is a work of art though! 

I still claim that a two-color light scheme could be used to great effect. Too bad I don't have any engines with colored light to work with.

Look to James Cameron's lighting techniques and try it again. 

Personal preference

Not a big fan of "smooth" lighting in Doom. Most of the time it doesn't look nearly as natural as lightmaps, but it eats a lot of sectors.

Just a personal thing, of course. 

Considered swapping the cave textures for something slightly brighter and less noisy? 

Who wants to test the Rubicon Rumble Pack? 

Just send me the DL link by PM in steam. 

Best start map ever. Just wanted to get that out :) 

don�t spoil me

is this a custom texture set? I dont recognise it 

Wow, nice ! Gives me desire to play Doom again now ;) 

I am using community chest 44 textures (by various people) deconstructed textures and a sky from Vrack 3.

That somehow reminds me of the first room in Wolfenstein.
