Thanks for the constructive criticism, Fifth. I agree that Blood and Quake are a funky mesh. I decided I'm going to attempt to use Quoth , since they do have a lot more features and rotating brushes, which would be great for the doors in Blood.

Yes, I am aware of Transfusion/QBlood total conversions. I feel that what I'm going for at this time is more of a blood-inspired complete episode with subtle changes to the original Quake gameplay. I'd like to keep this mod simple and focus on level design above all else.

If this project picks up momentum, I'd like yo get into my own custom enemies and weapons. For right now, as you've said, I feel Quoth offers a lot of elements that will fit in this project nicely. 

Here's a level designated to prefabs for upcoming levels I'll be working on. All textures were made by me, with resources pulled from cg textures, and the Getty's public domain website.

These are all map objects, created with Trenchbroom. Also used Wally and Gimp for the textures.

Here's probably a better example:

That looks great! 

Neat! Those look cool.

I'd love to see more Quake-y type prefabs like that. Medieval dungeon stuff ... 

I'm playing through Blood for the first time atm and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Can't wait to play this project, so far everything is impressive. 

Really nice scene, I love this kind of setting. You mastered those curtains, the look so very real.

What are these textures' size?

So, this is something I'm calling "Concreto":

Textures are derived from stores' catalogs and free stuff. I'm giving proper credit when I release.

Along with cement and iron, I intend to make it fire and brimstone as well... 

Thanks, adib.

I'm keeping all the textures the standard quake resolution. I believe the curtains texture is 128x128.

There's a lot of stuff I wanted done for my maps, but since I couldn't find proper textures to truly fit my theme, I started making my own with a lot of help from cg textures and other online resources.

Here's a pic of what I was able to finish tonight. https://db.tt/tq71feoO 

Lovely!

I think you should risk more with texture size, make them at least 256x256 and scale them down on the surfaces, in Trenchbroom. That would give them a sharper look. The floor, for example, looks washed.

Also, it looks like you're facing something Warren was talking about few weeks ago: Quake player is a speedy dwarf and it's very hard to make realistic sized stuff for him. To me, it looks like you're getting close, but this is something you can only tell while you play.

You guys are using the worst image hosts imaginable (Photobucket, Tinypic, Mediafire, etc). Why not direct links to Quaketastic or Imgur? 

was about to say the same. If you can't post a direct link to a jpg file, learn 2 internet plz. 

Coo. I think the light coming from the white lights on the pillar falls off too fast, it looks very artificial. Maybe the skylight is a little too blue as well, but hard to say without seeing more of the level. 

DropBox gives you 2GB for free if you sign up. Direct image links. Get some. 

As for the shot, the white lights are a little weird as well in that they wouldn't be splashing up on the bottoms of the pillars like that. Your light entities are too far away from the light source... 

Stupid Host, use quaketastic or imgur. 

No sign up required, no buggering about, just upload and go.

Doesn't go directly to the image, so for many places is more than a nuisance than a help, for many reasons.

For other things, like for big files is good. 

It certainly does.

Does clicking that not just load a JPG for you? 

I see it like that.

All i have seen till now where like the one from Mediafire Adib linked to, and in worst cases, the page wouldn't even load, depending of the system the page used and hard/soft used to load it. 

Yeah, Dropbox usually puts a WOULD YOU LIKE TO SIGNUP popup above files hosted there. Super annoying.

imgur has the drawback that big files get re-encoded and dropped after a while. Just use Quaketastic! 

It might be because people don't know how to use DropBox ... If you right click the image in file explorer and use the "Get public link" option or whatever it's called, you get a clean link. I imagine there are ways of sharing via DropBox that do annoying things like what you guys are saying.

The way I do it, it's transparent. 

That the files are likely to disappear when people clean up their Dropbox though. 

Sure, there's that. I treat my public folder as frozen but I know not everyone will do that. 

There you are:

Someone please delete cct02.jpg from "files" directory? Don't know how to do it. I saw the "screen_shots" dir too late.

DaZ and Warren

Thanks for the comments. Warren is right about the splash. DaZ, I can try either a longer falloff or a weaker bright. That amount of brightness is falling too fast, indeed. But the blue comes from a night sky (yes, another nightie level). Makes more sense now?
