Ooh those screens give a really cold and isolated vibe. Looks great! 

Map is going to be called out of jam7 "IceCore", when it is finished/polished. It might not look much right now, but hopefully it will end up being what I'm seeing already* 

I like the lighting and shapes, reminds me of the first few maps of Doom 64. 

Is this the FGD you're using, right? Thanks for it!

As for me, I'm still greyboxing. No screenies atm. 

Interesting to know* I haven't personally ever played doom 64, only doom 1, 2 and a lots of custom episodes yet mods.

I could say I have played Doom more than Quake in my past, but I have to say I prefer Quake more nowadays - it feels just right to me. And my favorite episode in Quake is Episode 4, even though many people seems to dislike it "because spawns mostly I guess". 

Skacky is right, it has a distinctly Doom64 vibe. 

..but you like what you see? 

but yeah, as long as it's in original Quake's color pallet (which I am using), why not use them? 

pallette* 

Actually...

Palette 

Let's just say it suits my palate. 

I was getting the blue section of the Staging Area (Stage 01) from your screens, and yes I like what I see. 

Yeah, I can't pronounce "Palette" in Finnish "Paletti" if interested* 

Little bland, both visuals and gameplay. I'm sure it was hot shit on console back in the day, though. 

Well I can't really tell, but it seems like Doom 64 Ex version has a decent amount of options for rendering and brightness. Design-wise levels might be a bit linear? But I can't really tell, because I haven't played Doom64.

Doom64EX is good, but even better is that it has a level editor :) 

Not a lot of content is being produced though. And the quality of what's being made is typically rather basic, despite Doom community having a lot of experienced mappers. 

I was working on some stuff but I haven't found my groove when making Doom maps. 

Looks like id does not like to follow a consistent versioning schema. :) 

Now that Nintendo finally decided to open up their platforms, I wonder what would happen if somebody attempted to publish their own port of Doom as a 3DS/Wii U app, on their own. Now that should be something worth watching ;D 

Has anything especially good released in Doom community lately?

By the way, is there way to light up sectors or somehow capsule light inside brush, then giving delay when light should starts and it would make a really nice "domino" lighting effect as an result*

In duke nukem 3d episode 2 I saw one hallway with that kind of lighting (look at walls left and right). Starts from 3:47**

You can use trigger_relay(s) to give a delay to your lights. If you have a hallway and 16 lights to light up dominoe style when player walks in, have a trigger relay with same targetname that targets each different light and give each relay a longer wait time than the last one. 

Thanks, I know that*

What I was asking was how to make light be more precise and not in a sphere shape. Doom used sector lighting, it would be nice to make that even in Quake.

I almost managed to make it work using func_wall brushes, between lights and then removing them when the map starts. But there should not be any caps between light sectors. 

You want to use ericw's tyrlite to create light projections. I have no idea how though and couldn't find any documentation. 

Combining Quake's lighting and Doom's sector lighting would add a lot more contrast to the map to be honest. Hopefully that is somehow possible to make, it doesn't need to be the most elegant way to do it - as long as it works?

In other map (which I haven't released yet) I even light up some of the func_train brushes in totally different location, because in some cases light wouldn't touch faces that are visible when something opens for example. I'm not by any mean familiar with these techniques but even something like that might work maybe?
