If a bit grey in places. 

 

Maybe make some of the inset pieces either orange or black, even though visuals are a secondary consideration for DM.

Here's a primary one though; the 16 unit slope next to the stairs might cause a problem for movement. 

I think colored lighting is overdone in a lot of quake 2 maps. The lip on the stairs is not a problem but the ladders in the map are a bit crap for some reason.
It's mostly done now and I could release in its current state and be happy but the contest doesn't start for a bit so I might polish ot up before then. 

I meant change the textures to those red/orange bulkheads - if memory serves they are the same versions of the ones you've used.

I always liked the powerstation black textures as well, but maybe that's just fond memories of that episode, probably the most enjoyable one in Q2 for me. 

If you're not interested in colored lights, I suggest stronger shadows where appropiate. Obviously visibility in DM is a concern, but nobody would mind if the ceilings faded to nearly complete darkness.

Maybe even hack AO into q2's light somehow? 

Q2 has radiosity. It literally already has the real thing. 

i remember trying to compile a map with q1rad a short while ago and it was still slow as hell.... i dunno, but fake radiosity seems like a better option even now.

That's really nifty.

How'd you do the rain? 

It's like a rainy terra4... 

Very nice....keep it going. 

How much of that is func_detail? 

Somebody please finish CZG's terra 

it's not finished? 

 

Mostly just theme testing. Not properly nailed down the layout yet...

CZG : "There's supposed to be more of them, and they should have a proper finale, but dammit, I'm so sick and tired of these things. " 

Terra is fine the way it is.

Fifth that looks arousing. 

keep going guys, screenies look neat. 

awesome looking work both of you :-) 

that's a cool look and needs to be expanded on! 

How did you get transparent textures to work? 

the transparent colour on the palette is index 255, the peachy coloured one. Also your texture name needs to start with a "{" character for it to be recognised as a masked texture. "{cobweb.pcx" for instance.
