I did it on these tex's around the slime: http://www.angelfire.com/scary/ph8accompli/quake/ph8dm2a.jpg 

non of you links work for me :( 

Not sure what to say, Gib. 

i tried something like you said, Phait.
can't say it looked very good. oranges aren't done well in the quake palette, and the vibrant orange i mixed into the stone and rock textures ended up looking really ugly in game. it was a nice idea, but doesn't work for lava i think. thx anyway 

Let me see the tex... or select an orange straight from Quake's palette. I really don't see why it can't be done alright, unless the orange turned out looking like idbase orange. 

...map, Lilith I think. 

yes it's done there, but not that smoothly if you use fitzquake. the prob is in fillbright pixels... 

clearly the work of capitalist scum 

But I think the lava should be darker. It would fit in better, to me, and would help alleviate the lighting problem some. I think I may have gotten this texture from evil_lair or something like that. Can't remember, but I think the darkness of the lava would work well in your map (although may not transfer to q1 well):

You can easily remove fullbrights though.. 

here was my attempt...

as you can see, it looks more beige than orange, and is not really that convincing in full 24bit color either. 

I agree with H-hour. 

not that bad, just need to adjust the color a bit. 

can you give me a bmp or jpg of that tex? I'll fool around with it. 

nitin, you actually think that's decent? hm... never thought i was very good at textures... :P

Phait: http://www.planetquake.com/necros/levels/lend/lavabottom.zip
lavabottom_24.tga is the original rtg tex with the orange and
lavabottom_q1.tga is converted into q1 palette. i realized later that you could have converted it to quake palette yourself, but ... *shrug*
if you could get it to look more like the texture in vondur's lilith (with the cool yellowish highlight effect) that'd be awesome. sadly, that type of thing is a little beyond my skills. mostly, i just took the brush tool on color mode and set it to orange at 50% and traced around the bricks. :P 

more importantly, i wish i could find a nice big 256x256 lava texture. i had to scale up the regular one by 3, so when your in the lava, it looks pretty rank, and if you leave it at default scale (or even 2x) it looks awfully tiled when your up on the platforms...

The first tga is probably best (I used color dodge on that gradient layer for that one)... I haven't tested these, just convert to Q1 palette of course. Take some shots if you decided to use any of them. 

That's pretty cool, it looks quite orange to me, and the rock itself looks white/grey which is actually quite realistic, rock tends to do that when heated to extreme levels. Basically it looks like a little orange glow cast on rock bleached white by centuries of heat. 

That look great. 

this time with light

but the lighting's still a bit flat. 

I know, but it's a quite raw lighting yet 

Looks good, though, pulsar - the architecture looks really nice. 

Can't go wrong with Sock's egypt set. 

Skyboxes for Q3 enjinn. Don't have time to release anymore material right now; this will have to do for the moment.
