to ensure the 18, some of the architecture has to be ruined though. that and fill it with ogres and ammo. 

I may well still be overdoing it with coloured lighting. I'm not saying this lighting is finished. Suggestions welcome, the more specific (ie, light settings) the better.

I think the yellow light is too much on the green side, and that's effecting how the colors mix poorly. I'd try moving that toward a redder yellow, and tone down the saturation of the blue lights as they are a bit strong.

The exterior shot and the ceiling in the third shot look cool though! 

That feels very heretic 2 to me. I dig it tbh 

I don't mind the saturation on the blue lights myself, it really helps the ikwhite and the ikblue bits look good together.

The area from screenshot 1 just has to be another take on the "a narrow and desolate ravine" painting, doesn't it? Also it's a bit funny that I'm pointing that out in post no. 300. 

I could swear that I saw 299 before posting, not 293. 

Looks nice, but too much saturation. Tone it down a bit.. 

not a fan of colored lighting in quake
but those shots are looking particularly great 

Is this allowed? I thought it was vanilla only? 

yeah it is vanilla only that'll be changed to a flame ;)
Thanks for the feedback guys 

not too saturated. 

Just like every pitch black Q1SP screenshot posted and Fitzquake + idgamma? 

I said my screen. He can choose to ignore it if he wants. 

fyi, I am hoping that my map will kill every single motherfucker who, upon being given a nailgun, quickly switches back to the normal goddamn shotgun when confronted with a horde of 8 knights so as to not waste the 150 fucking nails I also gave them to gleefully shoot those knights with.

I am looking at you 90% of the people who played my jam1 map. 

 

You can detect players carrying the shotgun with a hacked trigger and teleport them into a pit of lava. 

if the only way past seemingly random instadeath traps was to be carrying the right items at the time.

also I don't think vanilla progs can be hacked quite that way (is there ANY entity that detects .weapon?), but I'm sure preach will happily prove me wrong with some subtle and amazing trick.

Well, there's something close to a trigger that detects what weapons you have in there. Keys and weapons are all part of the same bitflag field so you can make doors that open based on weapons (and then take those weapons from you)... 

I remember that weaponstrip tutorial. You give the player the weapon to make sure they have it, then take it away... 

We're talking about what weapon you have selected. "Use this nailgun I gave you or go to hell." 

No, there's no way to check...but if you steal away all the other weapons from the player then what option do they have! 

absolutely love this:

That shot is nice, but the main 'idea' behind it is the warm secret glow against the expansive cold, and currently it isn't executed as well as it could be.

All the deep blue lights decorating that temple are just that: decoration. Let the temple interiors all stay lit warmly, and bring the blue into the outside via the sun/environment light instead. Leave the exterior sourced lighting (like around the dome) darker and more color neutral. That'll really drive home the "remote fortress on desolate tibetan mountaintop" feeling in that screenshot, because the contrast of color will underscore the contrast of environment. 

Who the fuck made this?
