PS: Brightness has been already increased by 40% and contrast by 30%.. so as usual, if it's too dark: change of eyes ;P 

Awfull to neglect the atractiveness of that dark surounding and knowing I'll have to wait all the way along to play it! 

looks ominous!

Btw, type "gamma .4" in fitz before taking the shots :) 

MadFox: it is not Dante's Inferno... it's rather Doom3 Hell based... you'll see that in a few month I hope..

bambuz: As it is supposed to be Hell, it has to be ominous and disturbing.... As I'm using Quoth, I also added new sounds for the ambience... Oh, and thanks for the gamma thing: I'll test it ASAP ;) 

makes it look a bit cartoony. 

I meant the ominous as a compliment.

I like the unpredictable rock formations a lot... and that other stuff departs from basic quake too. I hope it works well. 

i understood that it was a compliment: don't worry... and believe me, it works fine with the sounds :> 

Concerns:

1. The lower YA area is pretty much one-way, barring a sorta clumsy drop-down from the top, or an equally clumsy jump-and-pray to the jumppad from over RG or at +50. There's not really a place to sit and lurk for your opponent that's all that safe down there, so I don't know if it's really a problem.

2. RA<-->MH seems kinda fast, but anywhere to anywhere in the map is pretty fast, so they're probably final. On the other hand, I've moved the YAs around about four times now...

Still To-Do: Sounds, changing out the current bloody fluid for something custom that's a bit more energy/radioactive/something, more minor detailing, a bit more breaking up of huge expanses of concrete, a couple more windows here and there. Detail light settings. More bot clipping. A fair amount of decals.

Custom textures from Evil Lair and sky from Hipshot. Sabot file included (v10).

looks very similar to one of your q3 dm's, pjw3dm5 ? 

That map is gigantic compared with this one, and the layout is completely different, but I do like that concrete and metal look. 

very PJW-ish indeed
I almost though its q3 

...we are just bundling all the files together for the complete mission beta testing, and neg!ke has taken the time to set up a little profile over at ModDB. It has new shots of the levels (taken by him) that are far better than the rather spotty ones I posted not long ago.

i want to map like this... :\ i suck to hard... 

 

map 3 looks the best IMHO. 

Nuff said. 

I'm hoping that when I play the pak I will be so shocked from awe that I will transcend reality and live forever in the land of milk and polies.

If I don't, I'm going to demand my money back and sue for compensatory damages. 

...lol, I so needed one of those just now.

PS: We'll gladly give your money back, but fight to the death for one cent more! 

Finally stopped playing Stalker long enough to get this updated with various tweaks, changes, and bits of fixage. Added a new MH area to get it farther from RA. This is feeling pretty solid and is almost certainly the final beta, barring some major revelation.

The pk4 also includes a botfile for TinMan's Sabot v. 10 (extract to Quake4\sabot\maps\mp).

I would like to put in a DM map for travail, I have the layout in my head, but I was just wondering whether or not its too late or still feasible to get anything submitted that isn't SP? 

Pics look excellent btw. 

...thank you for your kind offer.

As it stands, our three coders are just about finished pulling our progs together. We could say "go for it" but there's a good chance the mission will be ready to go before you can complete. Also, the DM maps that are included are there for specific reasons:

- qtdm1 answers the question "How much must one twist a new SP map (qtfin1) to make it playable in DM?"

- qtdm2_duel and qtdm2_ffa are natural extensions of brushwork stolen for use in qte2m2

- qtdm3 is an exercise in reskinning "qte1 style" (as well as some route expansion).

So, maybe we should look you up for the next project. 

Here's a shot from a work in progress, based of course on metlslime's design.

http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/~ajd70/fitz0001.jpg

The animations are barely started, and I'm not happy with the legs yet. Also this is a 'clean' version aside from the chainsaw, no blood splatters yet. One of the reasons for this is the skin is mirrored at the moment, and Rorschach style symmetric blots of blood might look quite odd. The skin has been designed so that the seams of the torso and head lie along the left edge of the skin. So if there's no way to make the ogre work as it is, then it can be mirrored and the left and right sides will line up exactly. It seems a bit odd to double the dimension of the skin just to accomodate the blood splatters, but never mind.

Criticisms are welcomed, hopefully with them it can be made into a faithful substitute model. 

Sorry to say that his face looks too "flat" IMHO... Maybe it is due to the shot angle... I don't know...
Anyway, it looks quite promising.. Keep it up ! 

That looks nice! The head is too human though in my opinion. The Quake ogre has almost no neck so the head is more near the body. At least that's how I think it looks.
I love the muscles!
