you really like that doom wood texture. :P
course, it's a much nicer high res version.

like all the details like the railings and the interior supports and such.

feels like that much wood would need metal strapping or something to hold it together though.

also, should those banner really be transparent? doesn't really make any sense at all. banners are usually made of thick cloth and would be totally opaque. unless those banners are made of silk? in which case, they'd need to be animated models so they blow in the wind. 

That wood texture is sort of a relic from when I was a really bloody newb and thought wood beams would be a great idea... let's just say there were times when I couldn't see any wood beams anymore.

e1m3rq has some of that at the start, but I lost the wood beams a while later and started using custom stone trim and wizmetal, in fact.

True about the metal strapping. I'll put some in. Hey, free detail. :-E

I do want animated models for the banners, and the transparency was probably just my, um, goofy romanticism or something. It might change.

I'll look at the Rubicon ones Tronyn.

Anyway thanks for the feedback, it's quite motivating. I might finish it now. :-) 

really like those shots. Nice detail. I personally really like the wood beam stuff. 

Awesome shots! 

looks good 

that looks promising. Your mapping's improved heaps gb. 

Why did you say Disclaimer: Not Quake? If it's supposed to be a remake of e1m2 from quake, what's not quake about that? :p 

long story ;p 

Thanks... I still take quite long to produce levels, I guess my workflow isn't ideal. Always get hung up on details. I'm learning on the job with RMQ - deadlines are really good teachers.

jt_, because I missed Spirit's point a while ago (is, or isn't, RMQ "Quake"). Let's not discuss that now. 

can anyone sent me email with a version already ready to map with all the links and files do d:quake/ for exemple? 

It just won't do :E

omg WIP base trench gauntlet linear fight thing 

It's looking really nice.

What about the pillars in the middle? They look a bit lego-like.

Maybe break the floor up a little with some details and add some small spots here and there.

Sorry, I'm a certified detail whore. 

I have a good feeling about this thing - do you think you'll get it out by Qexpo? 

the lego bits are blocking out bits of geometry I've not worked out how I'll add yet :E

Would like to finish it for Qexpo but it needs a lot of work :( 

..I'm so hurried for qexpo deadline so many have no time to post screens though god only knows how much stuff lies in my hdds :) 

nice, zqf. look at the ikbase and speedbz_fin wads for nice trim textures instead of the generic rivets.

also, since you asked for more shots...

here's an early dynamic spawning monster test . yeah.... needs tweaking. 

I was thinking just earlier today, "where did that ZealousQuakeFan guy go?" 

Needs more Shamblers. 

Random dancing shamblers FTW. 

ZQF: good to see your base map again, I'm looking forward to it!

Here are some crappy screenshots of stuff I'm working on:

Dunno what I'm looking at but cupola inspires me to play Scraggy's spring cleaning map now. 

It's Fall Cleaning actually. Nice quick draft of a mansion; the gameplay is rather shit though. 

I really like the wood panelled indoor architecture. Gabled windows they are called I think?

Second one seems dark and a bit random, can't quite tell what's going on there. 

Apparently they're gabled dormer windows. I couldn't find a reference picture of exactly what I was aiming for, but it's supposed to be a little tower sticking out of the roof of a new england mansion. The textures are ik2k.

The second shot will be a rusted space station using speedbase textures - it still needs a lot of work though. 

Love the wood map! Quake needs moar wood maps.
