The tank prefab I used comes from an HL prefab library, and I guess textures alignment has not exactly the same format in HL .map compared to quake .map.. (not sure...) . so either it was already completely crappy, either the .map import failed somewhere (I'm more "confident" with this possibility)

So now the story is, how much time will I need to realign to grid all polygon corners, and then retexture it properly

Also, when I said I'd like to use HL texture set only it was not only for the tanks, but also globally for the all map.... as I did for SRC and Five Rivers Land that use Doom3 texture set...

I'll see later if it fits or not ;) 

you can take off texture lock and move the whole object/assortment of brushes so they match, instead of moving all the textures, which is much more tedious. Then put texture lock on and put the object where you wanted it. But everybody probably knew this trick. 

It is not enough as some textures have also rotated: don't ask me, I don't know why...
Anyway, I will have some nice tank prefabs at the end: this is the most important ;)

sexyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 

you might have more luck if you did your tank as a model (mdl) and then just make it nonsolid and use clip brushes to block out the basic shape so the player can walk on it.

mdl can be a lot more detailed, texture alignment isn't a problem, and it won't affect qbsp or vis. only thing is light, as it won't cast or receive shadows.

but with mdl, you could even make it move around and stuff (like if you had some in the distance or something). 

is cool.

P.S. there are a couple of Q2 textures that could pass for tank/catepillar treads. Maybe you could try those. 

tank is true! 

I propose that we only map tanks from now on. 

Really nice indeed ! 

 

Just as a reminder: SM138. 

vehicle made from brushes - 1st try to make a texture (that part with logo) and I have to align it better in photoshop and add rest of the parts...

and a part of the map with details (roof have to many brushes - it have to be changed :()

but that could be good once the lighting is in! Hope it won't be too open in the final version.
The rocks look quite cool too, some nice environments to move around in and kill monsters, with all the passages, ramps and columns etc... that could possibly work in multiplayer too. 

But looks quite nice - the second shot is an internal?

Looks Q2 style as well. Maybe try using some (subtle) coloured lights to offset the texture set - yellows and reds. 

...that your engine sucks until I realized it was a worldcraft shot. :) Looks pretty good - the rocks especially are natural and quake-y. 

it's VHE shot ;)

more soon :> 

I made some modifications on the map, particularly texturing (I used only HL and Doom3 sets) but this is not the most important...
Is the forklift looking cool or not ?

Oh, and thanks to distrans who provided the cool rock texture that fit well with the skybox ;) 

Fork truck is sooo cute...
Tasty rock texes too! 

nt 

Thank for the comments ;)

So now, same map, but with a "4-tubes" Tank and a truck (I had to rework both prefab a little bit in order to be able to build the map...)

wWhat do you think ? 

Quake does fantasy really well, but not "realistic vehicle with human proportions."

I dislike both of them -- make an idbase tank or something like that! (seriously) 

But when you stand closer, it's clearer that the tank's guns look like tiny water cannons i.e. unrealistically narrow. (And the Quake engine doesn't do narrow stuff very well anyway). 

Totally bad-ass, someone needs to feature this in a map.

JPL - what inertia and Fern said. Good otherwise. 

The tank and truck look a bit out of place, and probably would in any Q1 map.
