Have you tried PanQuake?
Would be nice if someone made a nice modern shader based version of fisheyequake and panquake... A slight use:
http://www.zealousquakefan.com/images/arrival/zqftest03_construction49.jpg Same area, more dramatic version, unsure about the colour combinations and positions though :( http://www.zealousquakefan.com/images/arrival/zqftest03_construction51.jpg Different bits http://www.zealousquakefan.com/images/arrival/zqftest03_construction52.jpg http://www.zealousquakefan.com/images/arrival/zqftest03_construction50.jpg Thoughts? slight use: very nice! might be even more subtle I think.
dramatic: looks like Shambler's rearside Make sure not to create annoying grunt sniping gameplay, See http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/sickbase.html as a anti-example (sorry Ricky :) ). With strong lights, is it generally the saturation, the position (which wasn't thought out, I'm experimenting so was just matching them to the texture of the light source :p ) or the clash of colours (eg would switching spot lights to white improve it etc)
or is just the whole theme of the lighting shit? ta for feedback :) 51 just looks like 49 with the white light removed :P
too dark and saturated. the other three are all nice though.. the colour complements the normal light rather than smothering it google up a colourwheel for painting houses and use that to figure out what colours to use.
full red/full blue lighting next to each other = ugly as fuck. Okay, a go at making that big room darker but less urgh...
Dropped saturation, increased ambient again, but moved the lights lower: http://www.zealousquakefan.com/images/arrival/zqftest03_construction53.jpg Too dark? Blue too strong? :E Another corridor with some little highlights from the monitors http://www.zealousquakefan.com/images/arrival/zqftest03_construction54.jpg it's really not necessary to colour-code every single light and monitor. for main lighting, i'd stay closer to white, as well. for example, in 53, i'd make the red lights be pure red and very small radius. highlights, mainly. the blue strip lights i'd make as the main light emitters but make them nearly white, a very pale cyan.
there are more colours than just rgb. Thanks for the comments guys, I'll try and do a more detailed outdoor area and see how that goes colour wise.
I think the style I'm generally going for now is making indoors look quite warm and the outdoor or open areas cold... :E with colored light, try reducing the radius of intensely colored ones (raise the wait value to 2 or more).
You have to play around with wait values really. Also try combining white lights with the blue ones. Although light blue and light-medium yellow seem to usually work well - watch for pure colors (red green blue) and reduce their radius / lower the brightness. The blue spot on the right side of shot 50 is kinda intense. For a strong colored light effect like with lava or big flames, keep the brightness under 250 (avoid the washed out effect / clamping) and increase the radius instead / put several point lights spread out over an area instead of cranking up the brightness. You can have subtle colore variations with this latter approach / combination with white. http://kneedeepinthedoomed.wordpress.com/2010/11/07/orange-light-green-walls-far-out-experiences-with-colored-light/ you can almost eliminate colour wash-out by using delay 5 in aguirre's light. delay 5 caps intensity at max instead of allowing intensity to approach the sun like delay 2 does. you can still get wash-out if you have multiple lights, of course, delay 5 doesn't do anything about that.
those ayleid shots i posted a few weeks ago all use delay 5 with between 450 to 600 intensity (and sometimes wait 0.75). Interesting.
delay 5 changes the falloff formula though - I went through a phase where I used it everywhere, but moved away from it again. It's good to know though and I'll try it for sure. I guess we're getting a grip on it :) New 1v1 map. It's first beta, I awaitn any feedback or suggestions. Please take note there aren't any clip brushes at the moment, will take care of it later.

I would increase the dimension on the y axis slightly so that you can't see the trim, or atleast try and align the trim in a fashion which makes it more justified and less broken.
I see you went for a more cohesive texture style this time - presumably to make the map look better under QRP? - but the result turned out somewhat monotone and gray. It might help if you had more city2_6 trims everywhere.
The checkered floor texture clashes with the metal walls badly, IMO. The lights on the stairs didn't look too good - either use a smaller light texture instead of resizing the large one, or shrink the floor texture. Like negke said before, the teleporters felt unnecessary, and could as well have been jump pads, or lifts - or maybe even some E4-style stairs. Also, the actual teleporter seems a little too big. This area seemed perfect for a powerup (maybe a MH?) but I dunno if that's a good idea for a 1v1 map.
