qriple zomby
info_light makes the light origin so dimm,
hard to believe that spots emmiting so much light.
already over 720 ents while the limit is 620.
Looks really good MF. Definitely need to get some small radius lights near those light textures. Other than that though I'm liking what I see.

Those screenies look like '96 - '97 era screenshots.
Do you have an old PC? (just wondering)

Looks really cool overall, Madfox! Agree w/ fifth on the light fixtures; it looks a bit weird to have a nice cone of light hitting the rocks, but the fixtures themselves are dark.
In those screenshots at least, the skybox brightness is also a bit overpowering, maybe they would fit in better if darkened a little in an image editor?

@-5th All the info_light have an upper light, but that makes the entcount so hight.
I tend to a light0.3 with dist0.7 and range0.7 -light15 for a large area soft ligtning.
@-uaddy Quake screens always are point of taste.
Sometimes I can't see a thing.
This case was I support them on my own site and they were low jpgs.
I turned them into high, hope you see.
@-ericw you're right about the skybox, but it's the fog0.02 that's causing it. I changed the boxtga but it won't work, only clearing out fog, but then they're so awfull cliffdemon it cries out colour. Or no fog and soften the original.
Ah Cool

For fitzquake family engines, you can set "r_skyfog 0.1" to reduce the fogging of the skybox (default is 0.5)
Make another light near the light texture itself with a small radius (like "wait 3" or something")... pretty much standard practice for the type of light you've made.
Oops

My browser coped fine.
My boredom threshold didn't.
Most pointless screenshot ever, congrats.
