...to be sipping vino in the company of some skinny hipped Iberians. Winter on the Murray, river bank nights are so dogdamn cold! 

Iberian women in my family have no boobs, no butts and look like skinny twelve year old boys, but maybe that's what two hundred years on a another Continent will get you. 

you like grunge, you like to get drunk.. erm yeah, you rule.

PS kinda buzzed myself

Thats E4m1 

it's fugly. 

fucking ugly 

(I was bored) 

NICE, that almost makes quake look like doom3 (ie. dark) 

cant see anything. someone should make a tutorial on how to make proper screenshots, seems like some people around here need it...

so I should start checking out iberian women then? 

Sure thing.

1. Take screenshot in game.

2. Load screenshot in a graphics program.

3. Crop, resize and sharpen as needed.

4. Adjust brightness, contrast and hue so it looks as visible as it does in game.

5. The end. 

If you make e4m1 use medieval textures, you should also edit some of the geometry so that the doors and light fixtures are medieval-styled.

I'd also recommend editing the "floodgates" to be old style bars/grates. And some of the support beams look kind of techy, so they might need different geometry style. Also that floor texture is not medieval, so I'd find something else. 

I was visiting in New Orleans (actualy further down in New Iberia) a few weeks ago, they tend to
be a bit homely like this Iberian lady:

who are the non-homely women, headthump? 

makes up for her visual deficiencies by being elegant and demure in motion. 

As I said I was bored yesterday
and tried to do just a bit of texture-replacement
(Yes it is almost impossible to make a medival map out of e4m1 without geometry-adjustment)

I would not adjust gamma/contrast in an external program, because it may look a bit unnatural.
Ingame is better. 

You can mimic quake's gamma easily.

In paint shop pro, it is actually a "Gamma" option. (Ctrl-G in some versions, I think.)

In photoshop, adjust "Levels" (Ctrl-L) and edit the middle of the three numbers (the one that starts with a value if 1.00) You will have to invert the number you use in quake (for example, in quake I use 0.75, so in photoshop I use 1.30)

Well it COULD use a little care.

Let's not talk about those lamps.

I have a whole album of pictures like this. Trust me Trinca, you don't want to see the _really_ bad ones.

Those maps could look much, much better even while keeping to the original themes. 

i now golden_boy one of then is on start of e1m2... the crates textures all fuckedup

Those, like e4m1 above, are all Tim Willits' maps I think. However, John Romero messed up just as much. I don't show that because it hurts the eyes. :-) 

:) ye they should beta test Quake more time... those who beta test were real noobs :p they should hired neg|ke to beta test he is great on that ;) 

of Tim, John, America and waz his name, you might
want to give the tools they had to use a try. With GTkRadiant 1.5, you can make any shape you can imagine and align with a great deal of precision (though this can get borked in the bsp compiler pretty easily) but I doubt if the first generation of the tool was nearly as versitile.
