This isn't an upcoming project, but I didn't think it needed its own thread.

I've been playing alot lately so it's had time to wiggle into my brain :-*
I'm very pleased how the wings turned out ;D.

only get a file-save dialog instead of actually seeing any of those images in-browser? 

 

ugh just save and open them.

looks more like a regular aircraft than a badass strogg freighter. Nice work though, but next time please decorate your screenies with some nice red bow for our more demanding customers. Thank you. 

what Sielwolf (and Scampie) said, the wings could look a bit more massive and spaceship-like to match the Quake 2 theme.

Unless you want it to look like aeroplanes, in which case you succeeded. :-) but Strogg tend to use spaceships. Those typically look more massive than planes.

One of the Citizen Abel maps has a cool starship, I think. The Reckoning also has a space fighter, which you escape in at the very end.

I think Ground Zero also has a space fighter, in the Hangar/Anti-aircraft cannon unit.

Don't stop, Quake 2 needs mappers! 

That's hardly a Strogg freighter. 

That's hardly a Strogg anything. It's a personnel transport ship from "X-Com: UFO". It's just something I felt like making in QuArK :).

Which is quite apperent as its X-Com counterpart is displayed right next to it. Is it for a X-Com Q2 mod? Might be something for pope and bambuz. 

Well, there is a redone version of X-Com using the Quake 2 engine already. I tried making an open field like one of the levels but it never VIS'd. Though I do have notes on how it could work using default Quake2 (No mod).

There's no need to sign your posts, the board already let's us know who posted.

You ain't doing it right.

something to think about

15,000 brushes and 500+ monsters so currently splitting it to play in FQ.
More music.
Still need to complete the lighting.
Compile times around three weeks so release not imminent.

Will release as a .pak to include the original FMB_BDG, where the trigger bug has been corrected.

Selection of lit and unlit screenshots, all from the players perspective. The first screenshot is the last fight of the original FMB_BDG:-

the brick texture you're using in most of those shots is a little too intense. 

look real nice zomggg this will be a hard bitch to fuck :)= 

I like the rockwork in the third shot. Good to see you're trying to finish the map after all. 

Motherfucker yeah.

I had an idea you were going to do the sequel Mike, good going.

Really looking forward to this. 

looking forward to this one for sure.

Now I don't want to sound demanding, but it'd be great if the gameplay would match the looks: dark/evil/hard etc. meaning the first part had far too much ammo, which took off some of the mood for me. 

*does the happy Quake dance* 

but he does get too low key at times for those of us who think of him as the cool, older brother the func board. Wicked nice pics, too.
