Link for the textures...

http://www.maricscabinet.com/textures.html

They are not in .wad as of yet, I'll gather the ones that are worthwhile and get links up soon. 

I really like it, but I find the lighting a little shoddy and too bright in some of the bits, especially the picture where you are close to the bottom. I think you should turn down the brightness of some the lights and use several weak ones instead. 

voodoochopstiks - Good point, the screen caps were curved up and brightened for the int4rw3b though. The actual in-game is much darker and more "contrasty". And honestly, I epected to get (read hoped) good feedback on lighting and such, this being my first delve into Quake, I am sure that I will need a load of experienced critique.

I am a good way off from actual beta testing I think. 

I'm glad you finally have a website. Now i can finally look at screenshots of all your maps. 

Thanks for the texes !! Oh, and some of the screenis of your Q2 maps are really cool 

Work in progress.
4 to 6 weeks until completion.
300+ monsters.
Brightness and contrast enhanced for screenshots.
One map but may need to become two as already exceeds clip-node limits and dangerously close to marksurface limits.
No more screenies until release.

Go Mike, looks fat and flavasome. 2nd looks a bit boxy but 3rd more than makes up for it, looks cool. 

but a bit bland brushwork wise. ALso, that lava texture is awful. 

Nice screenshots !! And BTW, very weel DKT3 textures use.. Keep it up !! 

But what's with that lava texture? 

It's original DKT3 lava texture... I guess it would be cool to enlarge its texture ratio twice or more... 

I like the first picture. The other also look interesting. 

First few shots are very atmospheric, and I salute you, you freakin' texturing genuis, becaue there is that one texture on the columns of the second picture that looks just right here, I've played with it many times, and was convinced it would not look good on anything. 

the second screenshot reminded me of zelda: ocarina of time's graveyard dungeon. awesome! keep going 

Damn you mike, that's almost the exact same texture theme I'm using in one of my maps. =D
Looks good though, looking forward to it. 

Although this is the one in the .wad that I am using, and it is already 256 x 256 (in the main cavern shot), I am happy to try different lavas is anyone cares to suggest some.

It is a bit of a mixed texture set - Knave, Daikatana, Quake101, and bits and bobs from places now lost in the sands of time.

Thanks for the positive feedback. 

It looksi nteresting, reminds me of Hexen 2. But the lava tex makes me think of a pool of crushed fruit loops. 

Whatchoo got against Fruit Loops? 

fruit loops without milk = eating sugar in the desert 

I've now been able to test a set of custom lava textures. I've been working on making natural terrain and liquid textures that are tileable together and some of these work together pretty well. They are yours if you want them. 

For sure, thanks.

Can I download from somewhere? Or if not, you can use mikewoodham AT msn DOT com. 

Thanks, I will try them out later this week when I get back home. 

you could use the lava used in contract revoked. 

I know I said I wouldn't but...

Fruity loops or NOT fruity loops? 

Original DKT3 (i.e fruity loops) looks netter IMHO... Note I say that because my current "cooking" map use it ;)
