Oi, colors and lights everywhere. Maaaybe scale back on that a bit. Or a lot. Otherwise, your shots appear to be of little architectural elbows you've put together rather than the map's actual spaces (although knowing that engine you may very well not have any).
The lights are so I can SEE the map when I run it. I haven't implemented any final lighting at all (the orange is just to see how it looked), because I've only got half the architecture "done." You may see these empty spaces of little red lights glowing from blackness - those are parts of the map that aren't put in yet. As for the colors, that's just how the textures work.
And yeah, the map is basically one atrium with little elbows around it connecting to different parts of the map. It's a 1v1 DM map, I'm not gonna put in tons of areas. architecture looks great, heaps better than your previous stuff. Texturing still needs a lot of work as others have said.
I presume it's not really lit yet ? i'm trying to do this looping thing on a handful of files, and it seems to work on SOME files and not on others, even though i'm doing the same thing on all of them.
Those blocks with the flames are just temporary placements so I can see while doing stuff in level. They'll be replaced by serpent skull lamp models eventually.
And thanks distrans. I think that would be the most optimal approach. I've done them myslef, like 99%, check the readme for that info. They are scaled down alot here compared to what I used in the beginning, I will release them with thier full resolution later.

Needs somemore details, though. And lighting needs work but I'm sure you're working on that.
All Doom3 engine maps should be shown in basic brushwork first (if such a thing is possible) without the fancy lighting, textures, bollockmaps etc etc. So we can see what the actual structure and architecture of the map is like...
ah much better, zwif. :) basically same thing rpg said. keep refining it with some more interesting tidbits of detail. it's getting there.

They added some new screenshots of the new zombie models but it was the level design shots that impressed me the most, very atmospheric and aparently the game is very close to release. Quake and Quake II, esp. Coconut Monkey and Slaughter Ship were fun maps to play. Both Half Life series, They Hunger and the more conventionally Half-Life like one were kind of boring.
was probably my favoite manke map and probably in my top 10 or 12 levels of 1997. It had a good mix of solid classic q1 progression with quakec gimmicks, and the aesthetics, while simplistic, were actually about on par with other levels at that era. His first soldier of fortune map for quake2 was also pretty good, actually, and hit the curve at the right time for quake2 build standards.
nevermind, soldier of fortune was for quake1. I think i'm mixing memories of that map with the sequel he made for Q2.
For The Record, I'm Just Shitstirring
Perfectly understandable, a little schadenfreude is good for the soul, but I bet you find yourself on the recieving end of people shitstirring more than your fair share of the time.
