I love it!

Getting a great vibe from it, shame I can't get bloody Quake 3 to work on this machine. 

I love it. I like the yellow/beige base textures in combination with yellow lighting, I've seen mappers get scoffed at for doing that in Q1 (pffft, colored lighting...) but I think it looks great myself. Are you using patches in that last shot? The column seems in need of some smoothing. I think it would look better if you double the lighting resolution. Q1 has low res lightmaps but no AA unlike Q3. Also Q3M2 can do lightstyles, could be cool to have. 

Thank you all. Here's some more. Lighting is experimental and thus temporary. I have your feedback in mind.

How do I edit my original post? 

and no edit... 

I love those shots. I'm kind of gutted that this isn't going to be for Quake 1.

Thing is that a lot of mappers are coming along and making base maps, I bet a bunch of the guys here are wishing for other themes :P 

quite like the lighting in those 2. 

Looks really nice. The lighting is actually very good in those shots. I look forward to playing this. 

 

Not only base maps, but base maps with the same id textures. Seems to be common these days which is weird. I never much liked the idbase maps to begin with.

Why doesn't someone at least use the mkoxide modified quake2 textures that I used in Guncotton? http://www.electricescape.com/etherealhell/mylevels/guncotton/index.php

They were great. Or do a mix of some different sets, rubicon, ikbase, evils' sets, some of lunaran's packs, look at his q4power that's fkn awesome! http://www.lunaran.com/page.php?id=8
I'd definitely use that if I was starting a new map, you could mix that and rorshach's hh3 clockwork: http://scmapdb.com/wad:hh3-clockwork

That would be completely unique in Quake, all industrial/dystopian/steampunk.

Actually the last map I started before I retired was going to be really alien, lots of curviness, a bit like an Unreal level, using these: http://scmapdb.com/wad:dethtex-spacemadness
12 years later and no ones used them yet :( 

Looks lovely, nice and polished. Very excited to see my textures being put to good use! 

This is looking good, Sprony! 

It's great to see so much activity here. Not just because it's positive, but seeing a community so alive. Awesome!

Anyway, let me go a bit off topic. I was thinking about doing a original Quake map for a while. Probably SP. Something very dark and gothic. But if there is demand for a specific theme I'm more than willing to give it a go (after I finish this of course). 

We'll play it! 

Dark moody SP maps are my favorite SP maps. Fire away. It'll get some lovin when it comes out. 

I'd like to see another base map using the Q2 Oblivion textures, or a temple map using a combination of IKWhite and Heretic2's Palace set. Neither of those is dark and gothic though. For dark and gothic, how about a map like Daz' Arabian Nights, except using the Day of the Lords/Living End textures, those textures are really gothic and grimy. 

To see more maps.... 

 

Your waiting will be rewarded soon... 

 

Because I'm busy with that other thing... 

to get MFX to test his map thoroughly with testers who thoroughly test maps (MFX, please test a lot, as it will lead to your releasing something truly fucking awesome and polished)!

I'll take another look at that thing soon! 

Quite a lot of features are incomplete, and its not lit or vised. 

let me know when you'd like me to take another look. 

In two weeks, for three weeks, so will try and leave at least something worthy of looking at for then.
