Jawohl 
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! 
 
still cant really see anything 
Vondur & Gibbie 
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 
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. 
LTH 
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. 
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 
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 ;)

Hooray! Wait... dammit. 
Why Don't You Just Shoot Screens 
..and tell eachother....

sorry, forgot to say hello. 
Hello... 
I made the gamma 1.80 for better vieuw
but it won't solve the texture mess.

Vondur & Scampie 
Hey men !!! I'm not dead !!! It was just time for me to come back home after a hard day of work... And last evening I had a lot of mapping stuff waiting for me at home... Furthermore, we are both located in different part of the world .... Just note that my last post was done at 18:20 for me (my local hour), and it is noted at 09:21 (forum hour..)... There is "only" 9 hours of difference... Anyway...
I started yesterday to check texture alignement, and yes I found some scrappy one to correct... (Thanks LTH !!! )... I also start to build the final fight room...
I think the next step for me is to finish this map, and allowing on-line download on my web site... with brand new clear screenshots this time.....
Bye.... he he he .... 
Rocks 
 
looks ok, but the ceiling is a bit flat. you could try making some sort of dome-ish structure on top of it with the same trisoup method? 
The Ceiling.... 
actually is made of triangles but I didn't do much with them because WC is gay. I'll make it a little more warped though :) 
Fern 
I think the whole rocky appearance would look loads better if you used a better rock texture, I recommend looking at the Rune.wad texture set (from rune the game) it has some awesome rock textures in it, check the wad thread here im sure it'll be in there somewhere. 
I Shot My Model 
I wondered if my Lycos site connects, because I didn't get much respond on the load of screenshots I uploaded in post#742 & #728

What would you think of Q1-models like...

http://members.lycos.nl/portable/newpage3.html 
I Would Say... 
no. the dinosaur skin looks like shit and the orb is not much better off.

if the skins were better, ie: the dinosaur's skin wasn't all mangled in every direction, and orb's colors were so banded (try changing the colors to more suit quake's palette) then maybe. i'd also have to see the animations of the dinosaur for me to decide on it.

did you make those? 
Well 
personally i think ORB is pretty cool Madfox, i like it.

Dinosaur not so good, needs to look more realistic i think.
Quite hard to do in Quake.

There was a mod called "raptor" for Quake 1 which had quite good dinosaur models in it, if i remember correctly. 
The Raptors... 
Are available in Jesse's RDE episode, if nowhere else. :)

That Great Qmle 
Skin-texing isn't my best part. Although I am glad endly to have the Qmle Editor!
Thanks for that one!

I tried to archive the right polycounts to make the model go. Than got caught because I edited the model backwards, and had to start all over again.

Now I am trying to get the skin tex done, but the colours need to be chosen so dimly, I am afraid to get red eyes. It is something with the gamma. Qmle does a fine thing, but it takes patience.
I knew the command would come from this part.

Of course I could lend a model, but that was not my initial goal. I wanted to learn the modelling thing, for it strikes me to see that creatures go...

Thanks for the advice. 
OMG... 
...you backed the model over Than?

Seriously, I think the Orb model is fun, but with some fine animation and some Quakey skin work it might become rather menacing... this is a good thing.

The dinosaur would blow chunks in Quake. 
Studio Tan 
The Orb goes for The Enforcer
The Dino takes part of The Dog

Can't shoot the dog, sorry. No problem if it is a irrational sprite, same for the grunt.
Made a Skeleton for it, but then there is that compatible error...

Made the models from scratch, but the bouncing box for the Dino got too big, sized like the Shambler(!). And then the health of it makes it a too easy thing (30).

Q3A/Q3TA CTF Terrain mappage. All custom tex0riz0red. Looking for feedback on item placement/gametype configuration ( yeah, I know...no-one plays TA anymore :/ ) and possible suggestions/advice on CTF mod configuration.
Or just tell me how nice it looks. Whatever. 
Or just tell me how nice it looks.

really nice :D it reminds me of one of the maps in Uru, actually. but that's going only from the screen shots -- i haven't played it because i don't have q3 installed atm.

although, i'd do without the symbols in the standard font... if you could find another font with more unique symbols, it would look a lot better. 
 
like the dynamic shadows, cool touch. I hate terrain maps, find them far too open to really enjoy in Quake3, so it won't be helpful to hear my opinions on it's gameplay, but I find it a bit straight forward, not really much for alternate routes. biggest thing that bothers me, but may be fine with players, is that all the trees are nonsolid... shouldn't they at LEAST block shots?

anyway, looks good, it'll most likely be well received by those into terrain maps.
