Always thought of it as neg!ke as well. Neg-kee.

Covered balcony - how about belvedere? 

In the olden days I always pronounced it Ne-Geeky (neg!ke) in my head, never having need to say it out loud. The ! made me think of eek!.

But also, for those old enough, Negplingky would also make sense.

And now I have a very definite feeling of deja vu... 

But I shall have my revenge!!

On the ROOF STAIRCONY!!!! 

"neg-kay" 

hrm... I say neg-IKE 

still hear a glottal stop, even though our friend has dropped it and it probably wasn't the correct symbol... neg_ah_ke 

You'll think twice before asking a reasonable question on the internet again neg!ke :) 

I am sorry but I cannot find a right way to pronounce it... though... :P 

It's easier that way. 

Hail NeGeeky, wot news from the front?

Is it a plane, is it a bird; nah, it's NeGeeky.

I can even hear the crowd roaring as he slays the final Shambler with his axe, "Ne-Gee-Key, Ne-Gee-Key, Ne-Gee-Key..." 

neg BANG ke 

 

pronounced neg-key

then again, every alias including my own is probably subject to "obvious" and incompatible interpretations ;) 

How did I do? ;)

Experiment inspired by Sock's texture set and design for The Florentine Library at http://www.simonoc.com/

Trying to learn Gmax modeling. Made a few map models for torches (not very good). Down sampled a few models found on the web. Re-skinned a few. I think I have the modeling pipeline down as explained by Preach on his site.
As far as making a real Quake level out of it, vis time would be too long.
Recommend Fitzquake Mark V has .tga skins

Wow ! This map works (slow to load, though).

I didn't tried yet with the DMtoSP yet. Should be cool. 

Do this to make shadows cast from your torches if you want: http://mobile.sheridanc.on.ca/~jonescor/post.php?postID=5 

I will use that in the future. I may try to make a version that can be vised, func_walls hidden shadow casting brushes. I'm just bummed out about the hatred vis gave my map.

Does anyone know of QC mod or maybe engine that allows setting a static models light level? Lighting from the floor can suck. 

There is no such thing. Model light level is handled by the engine. 

OK vis times are too much so this is what I tried. In Fitzquake with Quoth I loaded the level as a bsp model. Works looks good !!! ok just a model no collision no vis sealing. Next I took the level brushwork and reduced them down to simple geometry skip textured. Looks good, vis in minutes not days... loads but crashes engine :(

So next I had a pint seems better now 

Got fed up looking at the crappy skin on the silver/gold keys and thought it would be cool if they got an upgrade. I used a smaller skin size (64x64) and still got more detail on to the model! :D

New and old Keys 

Very nice, proper uvmaps ftw. 

I think I would prefer it if the spikes on the key were blue too, but otherwise that's an excellent skin. :)
