guy is surprised to see d3 map that doesnt have pitchblack areas right next to bright lights.

could add more contrast anyway 

Bear in mind I altered the brightness of the screenshots for clarity, which I'm sure makes it look a bit more washed out than in the game.

As a personal preferance, I don't really enjoy Doom3's default style of fighting monsters in the pitch dark, so one of the goals was to make most places lit. But yeah, tweaking lighting will be something I do in the finishing stages :) 

(...with a praxinoscope, I should add).

Sorry to hear Syd Barret died the other day! 

yes, brings pears to my eyes. :-(

(yes, pears!) 

My blueprint to world domination, you might recognise the layout..

But that's just because you said "world domination." The layout itself doesn't look that familiar. 

I was going for warfare by Gonzo, failing to realise my true paint skills, it turned out as it did. Maybe it'll turn out better in wc. 

i was away before and during qexpo, so i never got the chance to release what i wanted to... anyway, i could do with some help beta testing a map. you need quoth to run it, btw 

meeeeeeeeeeeeeee 

I would "volunteer" since I have quite some free time at the moment. 

^_^ 

Sorry, I'm late, but if I can help: send me the stuff please ;) 

Just a little something to get away from tech-based mapping:

Still very early :] 

me too pls 

i'm recompiling with some changes atm... i'll let you and JPL know when it's done 

looks a bit generic ?

what's the layout ? 

I found someone, who has rebuild the Q3 DungeonsKeep to Quake4 from scratch.
Then he designed his own textures for Q4.
But it doesn't suit him he has to use replaced textures for distributing the level.

A little DM map I've been working on for the past week or so. I'll be testing the gameplay at a lan party later this week, then if all goes to plan I'll release it towards the end of the month. :D

I still have to work on the lighting (hence the funny filters used on the screenies) and some of the textures/architecture displease me.

you DEFINITELY still have to work on the lighting.

Turn minlight down a bit and get some contrast and shadows in there. I wouldn't stick minlight at more than 30 to be honest. If you set the light coming from the sky to be very bright, then you have some really strong contrasting light as you starting point, and then you can add in other shades from there. Also, spotlights really suit the e3 metal textures, so try sticking some uplighters and downlights where you think they might look good (probably not in that big light area though, maybe the more dingy areas if you have any).

It's SP, right? ;) 

I was being retarded. I skipped straight to the screenshots after skimming over the second paragraph, so I didn't even notice it was a dm. Maybe bright non-contrasting lighting doesn't matter so much then.

/me slips away into the shadows. 

any lighting advice is always helpful. It's my Achilles heel. :) Ta.

And I have been considering working on a SP version once I've done and released the DM, though that'd be a while off yet.
