I forgot to increase contrast by 20%. Is it OK now ? 

I still think scale looks off in first two shots.

But obviously, it may be well be different in game.

do you need betatesters? 

I still have to refine some minot things: monster walking in walls, adding maybe more monsters, and improving gameplay before starting a real session... As of today, there are 69 monsters in easy, 98 in medium, and 118 in hard... not so much in fact...
Anyway, if you want to test a preliminary release, like Trinca already started to, (fast vised only), please send email.. I'd be happy to send it ;) 

JPL i think only Quoth team should test maps :p not to spoil the monster surprise :p :) since there are fun new ones! nitin should wait :p for total surprise! 

looks quite nice, especialy the shot3.

Did you use colored lights there? 

Got the mail -- thanks, man. 

Your map's got me really curious. For the most part those revamped tex don't look half bad -- and the map itself looks really nice, too. 

PuLSaR: no colored lightning there: the color comes from the texture. BTW the bottom texture is animated 9not visible on shots ;P. There are some in the map, but not in this part.

Biff: I'm glad it stimulate your curiosity, as it was the goal of the posts.

So now I'm looking for some beta testers, before a full built of the map, please send email if you are interested: note that you will need the Quoth Pack + the latest necros' extension with new monsters. 

I might just wait, I'd prefer to have final build if all that stuff is required. 

biff what happend to this map??

http://planetquake.com/biff

since 2003? did u lost source? :\ 

read the latest news post.

biff should be sentenced to death for losing this great-looking map :'( 

I can hardly see anything even in SUPERBRIGHT 2 monitor mode (which fucks up brightnes and contrast to the max)
Are you trying to mimic doom3 mapdesign? 

ops didnt read that :( if something like this even hapend to me i think i sent computer from the window :\ and i like in a 4� floor

but i always have a backup in internet ;) everytime i work in my map i upload! 

No no, Myrmidon is okay. Really. It's just -- resting for the time being while I work on the base_pack map. Like I've mentioned in #TF several times, the map for the pack has given me some ideas for Myrm, and vice versa. I'll get back around to working on it soon. 

coollllllllllllll map look soooooooooooooooooooooooo sexy!

:)= biff want a beta of my map? 

You sound like an ideal candidate to check out the lighting levels in my map. It's not finished, and I haven't touched it for a little while, but I wouldn't mind some feedback on the genereal brightness. On my screen it looks fine (though a little flat atm) but I have a feeling it won't be so easy to see on others.

It's also pretty hard to see in some areas if fog is turned off, but I assume most people will play with fitz or an engine that supports fog, so that isn't a big issue.

If you are interested in giving me a little feedback then let me know and I'll send you the current map. 

please send me the map (andyp DOT 123 AT gmail DOT com) and I'll give you some feedback. 

OK, I'll send you email this evening. Thanks a lot in advance. 

i didn't type anything originally, but i agree with speeds :P

in the first shot, especially, all i see is 3 vertical strips of light, and the rest is completly black. you need either more light sources, or more fake radiosity. 

though the screens were near pitch black, it seemed fine in quake when I had a quick look this morning. I'll send you an email when I have a chance to have a proper look at it. Only thing I noticed on the first run was that the SK door was unmarked and dimly lit - difficult to tell there was a door there at all.

I use gamma 0.9 btw. 

Thanks, I will looking forward to your mail. And thanks for the comment about SK door lights, I'll add some ligths in the next version ;) 

Yes, I want to see that map -- send it to biff AT leveldesign DOT org =D 

sent!!! 

who is actually ready to release their map for the christmas release date? 

a beta by Christmas, but completing a map by then would be either a rush job or a less ambitious map. If we are keeping to the the schedule, I'm flexible though.

Trinca sent me the beta pack. Quake base seems a lot more complete now with these extras.
