This is a map I'm making for my new mod, it's metal themed, with several different areas
that contrast with each other. Worshiping hall http://ompldr.org/vOTdjNg/alpha1.png Transition http://ompldr.org/vOTdjNw/alpha2.png Other side of the transition http://ompldr.org/vOTdjOA/alpha3.png Transition room from another angle http://ompldr.org/vOTdjOQ/alpha4.png Tunnel before transition room, looking into the Worshiping hall ;) http://ompldr.org/vOTdjYQ/alpha5.png jt: Nice editor. :P
Madfox: Interesting shots in your booth. Seems to need proper trim on several transitions and ledges. Why do you always mirror that metal skull texture? Talking about the diverse texture set in Duke tempted me to post these two shots from another project of mine slowly being worked on.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/deathquakis/qmapthing01.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/deathquakis/qmapthing02.jpg looks sweet dude! make sure you post that when you're done. i really liked your other d3d map.
also, is that a space ship? would explain the monochrome textures. i love space ship maps... probably cause one of the first q1sps was that hell in a can map. i loved the concept of that map. dunno if it's too late to nudge you in that direction a bit. ;) i just like the slice of life concept of being on a space ship in the middle of nowhere and having to fix problems (like aliens breaking out of containment!) @DaZ - Plan to in other sections like the cafeteria/recreation sections of the map. Keeping the white scheme here mostly for the medical section and areas close to it.
@necros - Actually, it is a space map, nice to see you picked up on that. I don't really have much direction at the moment so anything that can nudge ideas is good, I'll probably check out that map asap. Thinking about it, anything like System Shock 2 / RTC 3057 (ZDoom) would be an interesting direction. hell in a can: http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/casspq1.html
also, have you played that neil manke hl1 map 'uss dark star'? http://planethalflife.gamespy.com/View.php?view=HLMaps.Detail&id=961 @neg!ke - thanks for comment. I have the retexture pack in my iD directory but for some reason all textures are upside down.
I turned some in the directory but it didn't help. So it isn't something I do on purpose. btw, the level took 15 houres extra vising and had teo giant hom's. Why do they only show at the end? i've noticed this happening sometimes with texmex when importing/exporting textures to targa. not sure why it does that. annoying though.
It's a shame Neil Manke's full game version of They Hunger was never finished. Supposed to be released years ago on the source engine but apparently Neil fell ill and wasn't able to finish it. He was a friggin mapping machine that guy.
They should just get a new mapper to take over. Shit I would have finished it if this was 10 years ago. some targas are stored in "upside down" format (bottom rows of pixels first, top rows last) and there is a flag in the header that indicates this, so perhaps texmex doesn't pay attention to that flag.
(Fitzquake had a similar problem with upside-down TGAs, long ago, before i fixed it.) I'm using Fitzquake080, but if I turn all tga files in the directory, in game they are still upside down.
didn't know you tweaked that image and yeah, playing it, it's quite dark.
also, it's a lot less cool as an actual map. :( way too small for a quake map. it looks like it was meant to be built to scale. so in that regard, it succeeds, but too cramped for an actual map. you could totally blow that up 2x and you'd have enough room to move around. i could really see a map being built with the same basic layout only with locked doors for each successive floor connected to the spiral stairs. and maybe lighter textures like q3gothic block10 or something.
