read and improve btw: traffic and buzz does not make a good project. They actually managed to make Quake look worse, with lower framerates, and Doom 3/Quake 4's clunky physics. I can't imagine anyone wanting to climb aboard that doomed ship.
Sorry Obwando, those maps look awful. The Quake textures are not going to lend themselves to looking good with normal & specular maps, especially if you have an amateur texture artist. Additionally, I suspect you're going to run into trouble rendering larger scenes that have water in them. And finally, it's pretty ambitious to try and remake a game period. But remaking a full game for an engine that all but requires bump and specular mapping is downright insane for an amateur team. The guys that are doing the Source engine remake of Half-Life are going to be working for at least another year I bet, and I doubt they are doing much in the way of normal/specular mapping. Sorry to be negative, and by all means, if this is your passion then don't let my words stop you, but I think you're not being realistic. The shots of that actually look really quite good. However, I wonder if it will ever get beyond the few nice screenshots and renders stage.
I hope so, but remaking a game, especially something like Half-life, is not a task to be taken lightly. Anyway, good luck with the Quake project, OBWANDO. I have just one question...
Do you honestly think that this: http://www.quakeremix.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album02&id=update&op=modload&name=Gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php&PHPSESSID=058499368874cd731fb17ebd0a6fe9ec looks better than this: http://than.spawnpoint.org/files/quake_start.jpg ? If not, why are you putting up map screenshots now? Also, I take it you have seen Tenebrae? http://tenebrae.sourceforge.net/shots8/quake00064.jpg Personally, I think the original Quake shot looks better than both QuakeRemix and Tenebrae, although that's a matter of taste and is completely subjective. Tenebrae has the potential to produce attractive graphics, but as with the Doom 3 engine, you need good assets, and that is going to take time. Hexen : Edge of Chaos needs a mapper or two. It's a really outstanding Quake 4 total conversion with lots of talent (not including me, heh) and we're pushing to get some content out soon to rekindle interest.
Unfortunately two mappers just left the team because of real life stuff, so we're down to just myself and another mapper at the moment. I'd really like someone from #tf/func who knows how to make a fun SP map, and who has experience with Q3, D3, or Q4. I don't want to end up working with some Counter-Strike mapper who has never opened Radiant before. So if you have some free time, and you're looking to get into Q4 mapping in a medieval/Hexen theme, send me an e-mail or talk to me on IRC, and I will give you the details. Here's some shots : http://edgeofchaos.planetdoom.gamespy.com/media.htm I would totally be down for a Hexen mod, but I don't have the time (right now) or Q4 (which I don't think I'll be getting as long as its price is > $10.00.) But I really, really wanted to map for that mod when it was for D3. :(
GL! Hello, I'm a coder who is creating a
standalone open ended multiplayer game. The game's name is Darsana and is set in a medieval fantasy world. I'm currently looking for people who are willing to bring the game to life, and especially mappers (Quake1/Quake3 maps). Currently the game for the most part is coded and includes such weapons as daggers, clubs, broadswords, battleaxes, longbows, crossbows, fire, lightning, and leech staffs, mana and health potions, explosive arrows, and a buckler. It is using the Darkplaces engine and is using Quake3 maps and models. The current URL is: http://darsana.ru1337.com For some of the latest work with player models and game dev here are some shots: http://darsana.ru1337.com/workinpr... http://darsana.ru1337.com/workinpr... you can reach me via msn or my email at: rampaging@ru1337.com Take care. ~ Chris http://darsana.ru1337.com/

duke4ever team needs more people including level designers! Hey guys,
My mod for quake 1 is recruiting. Details can be found here - http://forums.gamedesign.net/viewtopic.php?p=216303#216303 very relaxed and fun. this is non-paying, and will eventually be open asset library. I don't know what you've done, but it looks very good compared to 90% of the graphics updates around there. :) It's somehow not too "clean".
Maybe some of the bumps are a bit extreme. (rivets, the "scales" blue metal floor.) Although it's hard to say all this from a few darkish shots. Hi,
Over the past few weeks, I've been working on a comprehensive Quake2 retexture effort. The project is based on the work of several defunct retexture efforts, plus a few hundred textures of my own. What makes this project different: I am a programmer. Thus, the project has the benefit of proper revision control (Subversion), project build files (GNU Make), and various shell scripts to aid with texture creation and organization (identifying duplicate textures, generating html tables of old vs new textures, etc.). I think a major limiting factor of prior retexture efforts is a lack of programming experience required to organize such a large collection of source files. Lowest-common-denominator compatibility with available game engines. The textures are all scaled 1:1 with their original counterparts, and are all uncompressed RGBA Targa files. This means they require no special scaling tricks or image compression libraries. Virtually all modern Quake2 engines will be able to utilze these textures as drop-in replacements. They are already known to work with R1GL, AprQ2, and Quetoo. These are not high-resolution textures, they are instead true-color replacements. Preserving texture image size with the original game textures makes texture creation considerably faster, while still yielding a worthwhile visual improvement over the palleted Contributing artists will be fully credited for their work on the project homepage and in any accompanying documentation at release time. The project has not yet been announced to the public. The project homepage can be found here: http://jdolan.dyndns.org/trac/wiki/Retexture I may be reached at jdolan at jdolan dot dyndns dot org, or in #quetoo on Freenode. Thanks! I had some contacts with Shadowalker for some times, and he is looking for serious mappers in order to develop a pack for his mod. You will find specifications and precisions there:
http://uddev.quakedev.com/ You can email him at alex_shadowalker@yahoo.com if you are interested, and if you want to join his project based on UD200 mod..
