Screen shot of where the new version of my editor is headed:

Floating texture browser and additional control schemes are my current focus... 

Ssssexeee!!! 

additional control schemes will be nice :) i had a hard time getting used to the default one and never really liked it much.

this is actually the same ne_melee mod from before with the sword. there's 3 classes now, this one is of the archer/healer. 

Awesome how the gameplay feels so different than q. The player model has nice animations, just the walk-in-a-circle animation sucks ;-) 

Hi, here are some screenshots of the map I'm still working on from time to time.
It's nearly finished.

Tower 1

Plasma Gun area

Yellow Armour area

Rocket Launcher area

Haste area

Red Armour area

Railgun area

Tower 2

It's a FFA / TDM map for 3 to 12 players. 

looks ace, although very reminiscent of qfraggel 2 and 3. deliberate?? 

:) Yes, nobody else is using my texture set, so I thought I'll reuse it. I pimped the textures a little bit though and created a few new ones. I just don't have the time to do a totally new texture set at the moment ... 

Nice work 

The brushwork looks cool, the color choices I pretty much completely disagree with though. 

I think I've only seen one other map with that texture set apart from qfraggel3.

But some of the brushwork reminds me of qfraggel2 too. 

looks good to me, but i'm not a fan of those light sprites that simulate lens flare. :S 

Jago: Yes, I know it's not everybodies taste, but mine ;)

necros: The lens flares only show in lightmap mode. 

it's quake 3 right? what other lighting technique is there? 

Necros: It's just vanilla Quake 3 Arnea lighting (q3mapo2 though). Nothing else. It's just the textures with prerendered lighting. And they are quite a few years old. 

that you only see lens flares in lighmtap mode and was asking what other mode of display there is in q3. I assume you were referring to vertex lighting or whatever the crappy lighting mode is in which the lens flare wont show. 

Thanks nitin, you're right.

necros: Sorry man, and yes, there is lightmap mode and vertex lighting.

I'll post a beta on quake3forum the next days I think if somebody wants to have a look.

Looks like a UT map now, thats a good thing :) 

thats not texturing is it? 

@Daz, Im not sure I understand, it looks like a UT map? because of the textures? architecture? lighting?

@Nitin, Im confused again, what broken bricks? Are you talking about the last screenshot I posted? 

wall to left of archway. And it's also in the wall behind the archway. 

Yeah that is texture detail, I have nearly replaced all the ID textures with my own photo sourced (they are not from cgtextures) ones. A new collection of stone, metal, wood and marble. I just got a couple left and the 2 light fixtures. 

i'm digging your photosourced textures, very crisp and fresh. I wanna bang that screenshot like a screen door in a hurricane. 

I think its a mixture of the lighting and textures, it all looks very Unreal Tournament alike, hard to put a finger on what it is exactly, but when I look at screenshots of a map without hud/weapons shown, I can pick out the UT engine map before any others, as they have a certain "vibe" to them.

Your map has this vibe also. Its like its clean and clinical while still having broken and rough edges.

Looking forward to having a run around
