Shame the screens can't be enlarged :( Some do look a bit dark, but I really don't mind dark if it is done well. /Me blushes, You shouldn't have mentioned me on your site,(especially in the company of the others, I am not worthy)I didn't do much to help, but thanks anyway. I am Lenny Lurker, by the way. If/when you need people to playtest your map, I would be only to happy to give it a run through

At home, screenshots seems good... But at my office, they are very dark. I try to correct this last evening, it seems to be unsucessfull... I will made some modifications this evening, using larger image with a higher brightness... Perhaps it will look less scrappy...
Anyway... If you want to be mentioned using your pseudo, (if you prefer) I can do it.. And if I remember correctly, you gave me some precious indications about TyrLite use... you mailed me the tool as well... so you have your place with the others... no problem...
I expect to finish the map this month... I have to finish the final "battle room", and I have to add monsters... and at the end of the job, I'll post something here to find some players to test the map... expecting a lot of feedback... expecting everybody enjoy the map...
Bye..
Cool

Looking forward to it.
The screenshot brightness/darkness, may be helped somewhat if the screens themselves were much larger?, well it would be easier to see anyway. I'll keep an eye on your site to see when you update the shots.
Thanks For The Comments

that extends to the ones on the pipeline as well. I was going for a Necropolis E1M3 look with the textures, but I think the bulk of the comments are correct, the map needs a greater variety.
Also, LTH, thanks, that was the kick in the butt I needed to motivate me to delete and reinstall Radiant. Using the surface inspector was causing the program to crash so I was ignoring the alignment problems for now. However, you caught most of the mistakes right off, so its a problem needing immediate attention ;)

This will be done this evening... Here it's 9h00 AM.. (I'm located in France).. So I have to work the day before modifying anything... :(( ... Anyway... Thanks for your feedback...

I know... I have to fix it this evening.... As I said previously, the screen settings seem to have some effects on the screenshot look... At home I don't have any problem... Anyway, this will be fixed near i the future...
Otherwize, do I need to understand that you need "Hubble Space Telescope" to clearly see my screenshot when you ask me about my name "jpl.nasa.gov" ??? Bad joke... ;-))
Haha
#722 posted by Vondur on 2004/03/16 05:19:56
no, just every time i look at your name i think about that nasa's site, that's it. no relation with the screens here :)
this is my every day site, so this is the reason of this association.

#723 posted by JPL on 2004/03/16 05:32:31
Ok, but this "ugly" association can be done while you see my screenshot... sorry....
Anyway, I really have to improve all my web stuff.. I have a really good screen at home (HP flat screen 17'), so sure that bigger screenshots, with more brightness will be better on both screens..
Bye...
Too Small...

...were you going to send me the level?
Rejected
#726 posted by madfox on 2004/03/16 18:53:00
I sended the level, but got a mail-error.
rar-format wasn't available.
I'll try a zip-format, but as the bsp is 2.5Mb
it will be a grunt in your pillarbox.
No Problem This End...
#727 posted by distrans on 2004/03/16 20:43:46
...neither a grunt nor a wimper. I'll give it a look this evening.
Argh...

but your brushwork is certainly improving over your previous maps.
still not a fan of the purple bricks, but that's minor.

sorry....
Jawohl
#733 posted by Vondur on 2004/03/17 03:29:19
this is better.
the map looks rather oldkool with its simplicity. i think it'd be ok map for the first try.
good luck lambert!
#734 posted by gibbie on 2004/03/17 04:01:44
still cant really see anything
Vondur & Gibbie
#735 posted by JPL on 2004/03/17 04:33:22
Thanks for your feedback... and for encouraging me as well !!
Sorry for for the current darkness of the map, but I think it comes from your screen settings... (try increasing brightness)....
ASAP the full BSP on-line....
Bye...
Textures
#736 posted by LTH on 2004/03/17 08:14:35
There are several textures on the bottom-right shot that are not aligned. The checkerboard floors are especially noticeable where they meet the pillars on the left - maybe put some trim on the floor to eliminate the fractional checkerboard tiles?
And I think you could do with more light sources in the two screenshots on the right - there seems to be a large fulldark area in the middle of the room.
Also, don't fear putting big screenshots up - most people would be fine with 800x600, I'm sure.

#737 posted by JPL on 2004/03/17 09:21:54
Yes I've noticed that too, I'm currently working on texture alignements.... these screenshots are only preview, and I hope to correct a max of thing before releasing this map...
Thanks for your feedback...
Bye..
I Feel So Sad.
#738 posted by - on 2004/03/17 13:16:03
So sad whenever JPLambert posts and ends with 'bye'. It always seems like it's his last post ever and he will never come back again :(
Bye.
Yeah
#739 posted by Vondur on 2004/03/17 13:20:46
i have the same feeling
this 'bye' sounds so...uhm..fatal
but from the other side this is demonstration of proper and long forgotten etiquette ;)
