It's the name of a carthaginian city.

[b]are they new or sourced from something else? [/b] i believe it's a heretic2 texture set 

are they new or sourced from something else? i believe it's a hexen2 texture set 

Pulsar and I worked on this map 'chainmap' style, handing it off after working on it, sometimes multiple times in the same day. We each had our 'main' areas, and occasionally pushed forward into each others area when inspiration struck.

Ha, BIG indeed.

A fine way to enjoy this map. You'll probably need more than one album.

Our vertical building styles are on full display here.

The textures are mostly from Hexen2, with a lot of augmentation from custom textures from Sock and Pulsar.

Ha, MFX. 

go map

@Ionous Did you guys take some architectural inspiration from the actual ruins of the city? 

That title was actualy selected at the stage when the map was almost built. I googled 'stone city' searching for a good title. And I think it's really a good title for such map.

*spunks* 

Is it normal that I want to lick my screen? 

discouraging new mappers everywhere and disheartening the veterans.

That or its inspiring, not sure which. 

so... sexy...

the level of detail in just that one section is amazing.

been working on a quake4 remake for qw. it plays really nicely. check out this thread for details. http://www.quakeworld.nu/forum/topic/7063/105681/ravage-2v21on1-map#105681

let me know if anyone finds shit wrong with the texturing. 

although if I had to nitpick, lighting looks a bit bland. 

Looks pretty awesome foogs, nice work! 

Can we use your book textures? I personally would like to use them.

As a reminder, these are based on Kells knave.wad so a big thanks to him for those!

Ive been making my books out of 4 brushes. Texture the sides of the book before you cut or clip it so you dont have to line up the insides of the book as well, if that makes sense. Scale the paper at .5 for the best effect.

once you have a book built, you can just move the texture up and down to go through different books. Sometimes youll need to make the book wider for different spines but it works pretty well.

I suppose i couldve included a small .map.

Im interested in seeing someone use these for breakables. A bookshelf exploding into books, paper and bits of wood.

Currently, I have them set up so you shoot or hit them and they disappear. Find all the books and get a reward for the final room! 

Pulsar, that looks amazing! Cant wait to play it! 

your booktextures are lovely.

Thank you! 

Thank you! those look amazing!

These are my first ever textures. :)

They wouldnt exist without Kells inspiring spines he created for the knave.wad shelves. 

"slightly better screenshot showing the actual textures"..... 

I like that you made different-sized books. Awesome attention to detail as usual.

Libraries using these book textures will look much more realistic than a simple flat texture, however good it is. I wasn't sure at first but it turns out that it's a great idea you had there, Mukor!
