now it definitely looks more q1 :) 

that looks great! 

But I think that the yellow light up high is just a tad too yellow. The lower lights look good though. As mentioned earlier, less is more when it comes to colored lights in Quake. It's not a disco and it's not a shopping district so colors just look out of place if they're garish but if done right they can add to the look of a level. 

Agreed, I was already planning on toning that one down. 

Love how the blue light at top adds some coldness to an otherwise warm scene.

Might be too bright? 

 

but are you mixing jf1 and jf2 textures? I'd recommend replacing all jf1 textures with equivalent ones from jf2, which are less sloppy overall. (e.g. the rivets are tighter looking, bevels are harder, flat metal has more of a texture to it instead of just ripply colors.) 

Yeah I'm mixing the two, though I've been thinking of replacing the jf1 textures since I started using jf2 a bit later. 

Whatever, wip. Looks very pretty! 

texture quibble aside, i like the moodiness of it, the lighting and texture use. The green fog seems to work also. The triangle shaped structures are cool. 

I like it too. Very moody. Has a bit of a Doom vibe don't you think? The green waste levels.

Not sure about the sky though. Darker green would look better. This is too light imo. 

The sky has this color because of the fog. It's a greyish sky normally, though I could probably darken the fog somehow. 

Looks great - reminds me of a map by RPG (wasn't it?)....

On my screen it actually looks a little dark rather than bright.... 

I'm on holiday in a few days anyway, so it's just fun to make a simple enemy before I go.

So I decided to give him the ability to throw dogs at the player as well. Works like a charm and makes me chuckle since I imagine him carrying something like this:

I don't even have drug abuse as an excuse for inventing this nonsense. 

Skacky; too many light sources IMO. 

@Skacky, nice combat space, for some reason it reminds me of a Q3 arena. It feels very wide open, like it needs some more cover in the middle. What does it look like with a monster for scale?

@ijed, sounds awesome, a puppygun, I want to play! I hope the gun makes a woof sound when a dog is thrown across the room! :P

A spare offcut that has been festering on my HD. 

This is actually the start map of an episode I'm making, so you won't be fighting anything inside it.

Your screenshot looks intriguing. :p 

@Skacky, If there is no combat in that area then fill the center with something cool looking. Try creating a mini upside telecoms towers in the center pointing downwards into the void/fog instead of generic pipes. Google image search "telecoms tower" to see what I mean. 

Thing is these pipes are feeding the central pit with unhealthy slime. :p 

please tell me there is a minecart ride!!!!! 

in the map I gave to Vigil for his rubicon2 chainmap that will never be finished! 

give it to sock, he finishes stuff! 

Are for Nintendo 64 games. Go download Project 64 2.1 and some ROMs if that's what you are looking for. :P 

@necro, there is no minecart ride, it is just an offcut of brushes.
@scampie, what is stopping you from completing the map section yourself? maybe start a minecart speedmap theme? :)
