well, there's really not much to it. you put in two cue points, one for the start of the loop and another for the end. that's all. it's just that there's a difference between the markers that he's using and these ones.
i don't know what the difference is, except that quake looks for one and not the other. CoolEdit2000, Sound Forge, Goldwave(?)
these are the ones i am aware of... probably others. don't know about audacity -- never tried it. Shot #1 looks interesting, even though you obviously haven't done any lighting work yet. I am not sure I would rotate that rock texture 90 degrees like you have in the middle though.
Shot #2 shows that you need to lit your floor better and also I don't think that the floor/stair texture you are using fits in with the ikblue textures you seem to be using. I would either add more non-ikblue detailing or change the floor texture to some blue one. pretty stuff. I always like the more traditional gothic style. What textures are those by the way? They look great.
Most textures were ripped from 'schloss' map after I downloaded it a few days ago.
The lighting isn't finished just yet still experimenting. However, I will be going away for a week, tommorow and mapping will be on hold, but I think I should be able to finish this map when I get back. shot1 look really good. I like such a theme and texes. Shot2 is also rather nice, but I also think that floor texture doesn't fit the whole texture style good.
Same comments as above, except I also have doubts about the wood texture in shot2.
I quite like shot1. :P
"This is the place to post screenshots of your upcoming masterpiece and get criticism" the photos are digital, so they were on my screen... hehe, feel free to delete the post, whatever :) I posted this in sm40, but I need 1-2 testers for my sm40 map before I ship it off to RPG for completion. I probably won't change too much, but I'd like some feedback and any bugs people find. So lemme know if you'd like to test, thx.

Not my map, but I thought this shot made Quake look like Prince of Persia: Sands of time. You know, when time goes back and its all glooooowwwwwyyy. when time goes back and its all glooooowwwwwyyy.
Coming soon to a bloated custom engine near you! We've been discussing this in #tf some these past couple days, but this shot is just another example of a graphics feature getting out of control. Light blooming, when done correctly can add to a games experience and atmosphere. When done as above, it detracts from the experience and only hampers the players eye sight. That shot would look much much better had the bloom been reduced to near nothing. It should be used to accent certain features within the gamespace, not washout the playing field. Guild Wars seems to be another huge offender when it comes to the bloom effect. This feature seems to originated from graphics focused consoles, where every wiz-bang feature is needed to set a game apart from another. However, it would seem some console developers have gotten a grasp on how to utilize it properly. Examples of bloom done right include the Splinter Cell series, Rainbox Six, and more recently Burnout 3 on the road surface in the far distance because of the sun. Tenebrae used the bloom effect pretty well, I was suprised that we didn't see it in Doom 3. Regardless, people need to see that this is a graphics gimmick, just as the sun glare was years ago when it appeared in ever PSOne title.
/Rant Off
