OXYMORON GOD KILL ME NOW SO MUCH BAD BRUSHES AND WEEKS OF COMPILING THAT CRASH AT 50% NO PLEASE SPARE ME 

#1: Temple
#2: Oxymoron
#3: Necromodai

However, you _REALLY_ need to work on lighting in Oxymoron. The shot of the map in it's state "a couple of years ago" looks heaps better than the newer one. 

 

Do 1 or 2 first and then do 3. 

I'd say finish them in the order you've list them.

From what you've said, finishing up the first one shouldn't be too much hassle, then fix and finish oxymoron, and then you can freely concentrated on the big project.

(Although in terms of how much they intrest me, it'd be the reverse order).


Oh, and Oxymoron is that map that it took half of #tf to compile right? 

They all look good to me.

Found the miracle of colours in fitzquake.

of all the engines to discover it in, it was fitzquake. hehe 

The thing of miracles is that they're miracles to some, and bad luck to others. Be careful how you use those things, k? 

hover that green over some liquid and it will make for either some icky looking slime or some yummy Mountain Dew. 

Ban him, now! 

i will take the popular advice and complete the maps in order, Temple 1st, then Oxymoron then Necromodai. 

Looking forward to it :) 

go map! 

That temple map looks awesome! Not enough temple maps being made, bah to all of you! My 2nd pick would be the cool gothic thing at the bottom, looks awesome! Then oxymoron, it looks nice but the other 2 grabbed me more. 

bottom one is the bestest, nice textures

oxy - everyone seen it. some even played it
not worth really imho

top one - boring style

madfox, sorry for u
go get some clue 

They all look good to me. 

i had no idea fitzquake could do this. 

I guess I can stop writing such detailed documentation... 

oxymoron looks very cool to me. 

Just waiting for testing from some of you in #tf (yes I'm actually caring about that now). Anyway, I've finished the rough layout, which has kinda became semi-rough. There's still some details to add and bits to fix and spice up, but here are some shots:

Just a couple of things:

In shots 1 and 3 there are 64x128 surfaces with 128x128 'hexagon' base textures on them that are cut off at the halfway line. Retexture those surfaces with a 64x128 riveted panel, or if you can't find one, use the 64x64 riveted panel instead. There's something similar in shot 4 as well, either side of the ladder aperture. Texture alignment is a good thing.

Ramps are completely different to move over than stairs, and I would imagine are especially annoying when the walkway at the top immediately turns a corner after only 128 units. Make teh stairs kthx.

Other than that, looks very swanky - I especially like the skylight trim. 

Kell, firstly thanks for the feedback :D

The 64x128 textures suggestion is a good idea. I was thinking of either editing them and having them have a bevel/shadow along the halfway mark where they cutoff... but was still skeptical of how I was using them halved anyway.

The ramp, which comes down on a few steps ahead and to it's side - I was at first wondering if that whole idea might be annoying too - I'm going to try all stairs like you're suggesting.

One thing you may notice:

Walkway on left just hangs there and meets w/ the 64x64 riveted texture, doesn't look right of course. That is currently how all walkways are in the rough, but I'm going to add a layer inbetween as you see on the right walkway - just logical and looks better.

I think this layout might have some good potential but I'm still waiting until it's tested. Either way it's gonna top PH8DM1 (pah!). Thanks again for checking! 

Looking promising, the textures need some serious fixing as you know, but it's looking like a good start. Stick with it man. 

Glad to hear, thanks. 

Hey thought I'd show of some shots of a test d3 map I'm playing with. I dunno if anything will come of this, but I'm starting to feel really comfortable with some textures and the editor. General feed back would be appreciated.
