...Looks Cool!! - Put me on the list for tester candidates >8D 

first shot: interesting looking crane puzzle. The buttons are to be pushed to move the boxes, yes? I like object puzzles. But please make the floor and ceiling more interesting, they are very flat.

second shot: ah, now we are looking out into a misty cavern. Very enticing, and somewhat spooky. Not much to comment on, except that it looks like an interesting place to explore. 

@Jointss:
Thanks !

@RickyT23:

Well, I already have many people that asked me to beta test, so I will have to make some choice.. so please don't blame me if you are not "elected" for betatesting ;)

@Grahf: The buttons are to be pushed to move the boxes, yes?
Not all of them, you will have to discover what's working, and what's not ;)

But please make the floor and ceiling more interesting, they are very flat
Well, it is not visible, but the is a nice curve on the ceiling ;)

Thanks for the comments :D 

getting better, go on
try a trim or a texture with some trim or paint on the walls 

Seeing as you're converting the textures anyway, but maybe a couple of the classic blood /slime splatter decals baked into a base texture could add more interest. 

Yes, nice idea: I'll try to see what is available.. maybe I will have to do it myself.
Thanks for the idea ;)

Those shots look great. I like the moss normal, the low rez compared to the diffuse works well.

JPL - most likely you'll have to DIY it, but the decals will be easy to cut in PS or PSP. 

Well, I hope I will not ruined the texture with too much bloody splashes :P 

Doing the same in some maps I'm working on currently, just a few here and there amidst the large expanses of metal / base flooring. It's probably easier just to paint the blood yourself rather than cut up some lo-rez decal.

I experimented with sludgy mounds of toxic waste as well (trigger_hurt attached) but it didn't work too well since its a new-ish trap mechanic and there was no pit - it was just mush heaped in a corner. 

Well, I would like to ad it directly onot bmp extracted from the texture, bot copying/pasting them from something else.... I have to experiment...

This is a good (free - 'V6' ;D) program for what you want - it has a 'smart select' tool, like Photoshop - a 'magic wand'. Im using it at the mo for a company website!! Might be stating the obvious here, but select the area around the 'splat', click (on the 'select' button) 'invert', then you can copy and paste the splat without a rectangular box around it!!

(sorry if this sounds patronising) :-P

Looks nice Trinca.

Now I've heard everything. 

That outdoor area looks especially nice!

This is the sample level I'm going to include with ToeTag from the next version onwards. It's nothing fancy - just a small level that lets you choose your skill level and then launches you into E1M1. However, it shows off most of the fundamentals of what makes a map tick so it's a good example.
