but it won't solve the texture mess.

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 ....

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?

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 :)

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 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...

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...

That Great Qmle
#752 posted by madfox on 2004/03/24 23:31:43
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...
#753 posted by distrans on 2004/03/25 00:43:14
...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.

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).

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.

looks kind of nice, but really needs as much detail as you can pump into it. Rocks, bushes, smaller structures and ruins, etc. This is both for visual interest, and also to break up the large, open areas into smaller spaces where the fighting can be more interesting. Also, i'd like to see more detail on the structures you already have... I do like the "Star Trek set" feeling, but overall the map is too sparse. Maybe with q3 vis, this is as good as you can do without killing framerate, i don't know.

ok, well, that's not the real name, but i haven't come up with a good one yet.
this is just a 30 minute reskinning here... that's the hellknight's face and body pasted on there... not sure whether i should cover the arms with hknight armor or not.
anyway, opinions:

cover the shoulders. and the crystal on the stick looks silly, too bright. other wise looks fine for an egyptian map.

Definitely cover the shoulders. I think the crystal is fine but should be on a wooden shaft. I also find the blood a lottle gratuitious.
Model
blood looks cool, keep it.
pushplay, gratitious blood? Were talking about quake here, not Mr.Rogers. :P
I'm Trying
#763 posted by necros on 2004/03/26 20:52:03
to get it to mix in with the regular quake monsters. it's not going to appear in an egyptian map, hence, the armor and face transplant. i'll see if i can get some shoulders on the sucker. thanks for the comments

Less is more when it comes to blood and violence. What was more violent: the Reservoir Dogs ear scene that was out of frame, or the buckets of blood in Kill Bill? The latter was stylish, but it wasn't as gruesome.
