cant see anything. someone should make a tutorial on how to make proper screenshots, seems like some people around here need it...
Iberian women in my family have no boobs, no butts and look like skinny twelve year old boys
so I should start checking out iberian women then? Sure thing.
1. Take screenshot in game. 2. Load screenshot in a graphics program. 3. Crop, resize and sharpen as needed. 4. Adjust brightness, contrast and hue so it looks as visible as it does in game. 5. The end. If you make e4m1 use medieval textures, you should also edit some of the geometry so that the doors and light fixtures are medieval-styled.
I'd also recommend editing the "floodgates" to be old style bars/grates. And some of the support beams look kind of techy, so they might need different geometry style. Also that floor texture is not medieval, so I'd find something else. I was visiting in New Orleans (actualy further down in New Iberia) a few weeks ago, they tend to
be a bit homely like this Iberian lady: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004851/ As I said I was bored yesterday
and tried to do just a bit of texture-replacement (Yes it is almost impossible to make a medival map out of e4m1 without geometry-adjustment) I would not adjust gamma/contrast in an external program, because it may look a bit unnatural. Ingame is better. You can mimic quake's gamma easily.
In paint shop pro, it is actually a "Gamma" option. (Ctrl-G in some versions, I think.) In photoshop, adjust "Levels" (Ctrl-L) and edit the middle of the three numbers (the one that starts with a value if 1.00) You will have to invert the number you use in quake (for example, in quake I use 0.75, so in photoshop I use 1.30) Well it COULD use a little care.

Those maps could look much, much better even while keeping to the original themes. http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/8751/e1m21am0.jpg

However, John Romero messed up just as much. I don't show that because it hurts the eyes. :-) :) ye they should beta test Quake more time... those who beta test were real noobs :p they should hired neg|ke to beta test he is great on that ;)
of Tim, John, America and waz his name, you might
want to give the tools they had to use a try. With GTkRadiant 1.5, you can make any shape you can imagine and align with a great deal of precision (though this can get borked in the bsp compiler pretty easily) but I doubt if the first generation of the tool was nearly as versitile. plotted months to get a convincing shape of an illusionary trashold on which you can merely drift away, consuming there were irrational creatures who spawned the hell out of you...
untill someone told you the keyhold wasn't queer? if it took you a span of months. For more difficult shapes, try using 2x4 strips consecutively, and when they form a coherent shape along one dimension, clip them evenly along the adjacent dimension and merge the strips together. Then you can work on getting the other two dimensions looking correct :)
As for the spawny things, lithium can be a beneficial agent to correct that problem.
