I was thinking of animating it only for a half cycle and use the skinfile doubled in length. In this way the speed slows down.

Necros, how do I add a rotation flag?

I made a static entity before, used the texture name to upgrade it to 512 and placed it in the high resolution teture file.
In game it came up right, so now I wonder how I can place this sky skinfile upgraded in this texture file.
I did but for some reason the texture won't come up in game, maybe because it isn't square.


Fifth.., you're email adress is lame! 

whats up with my email?? :P 

why not have a false skybox using the rotate stuff in the "teaching old progs.dat new tricks" thread? 

@-fifth: it may not be your email, but I tried to send an email and keep
"Can not send the message because one of the recipients was etc."

A turning skybox would leak the file? 

no, like a faux skybox.

have it properly sealed outside the skybox. 

I just did, downloaded the rothack_example and changed the fans into a skybox.

I made it turn slow '0-3-0' and as long there's no sky gfx/env set the box turns, although not smooth, more like a clock abcis.

When I use the gfx/env option of a skybox the box keeps turning, but the front side left right stay frozen. 

Does anyone have a good looping ambient sound of wind, particularly as in winter wind in the mountains?

check ne_ruins' pak0.pak...
sound/ambience/region_windmnt.wav might be good? 

that looks disturbingly like hexen2's mission pack... you might want to make sure the textures are legally usable.

also it definitely needs some sort of trim, the boundaries between snow and sudden cliff face has a very low poly budget to it (both next to walls and drops). 

The edges desperately need blending. I suggest the jam2_mfx rock textures. 

AD has some excellent wind sounds and ambience noises. 

thanks guys!

textures are from Daikatana E3, a mainstay of Q1SP. 

maybe I should ask Romero if he wants to make a guest map for this episode - lol maybe I even will too...

I have the general layout of the level in my head, as well as a couple secrets. 

I really don't think anyone will spend big bucks to take you to court for using the textures from a 20 year old game in a free non-commercial map for Quake that. Nobody cared when we used to do it with latest releases in the late 90's, early 2000s.

alice, quake 2 and it's various mission packs, quake 3, dkt, heretic 2, hexen2, kingpin, rune, fakk2, undying, wolf, sof, doom 3. None of them cared then did they? So they're even less likely to care now.

Hell, if I was mapping I'd be ripping the Doom 4 textures and other modern games :D 

If you hit SHIFT+Z you can make the active view fill the editor window. You hit SHIFT+Z again to unfill it. Great for taking pictures in the Worldcraft/Hammer/Jackhammer editor. 

Are editor screenshots the new thing?
Sucks to see no lights. And clip brushes?!? Come on. 

You can have some of my wind if you want?? Might not fit the map though, maybe better with fire and brimstone theme??

BTW, the top of that rock texture could do with some editing so it's not as an abrupt transition to the snow above, otherwise, cool stuff. 

Go map for HL2. Seriously. You've obviously got good ideas and passion for it, but I think you're going to struggle to fit those into the Quake engine / style... 

I prefer Quake's gameplay a lot more than HL2 (or any other FPSes I've played, even Doom. The only one that comes close is Unreal but it's stiffer). And the only struggle I have right now is for natural brushes like cliffes and mountains, but I can learn.

It all comes down to using the grid system properly anyway.

Sure it's Daikatana but considering it's the only game that comes close to replicating Q1's movement I think it's worth mentionning. 

someone delete the post above 

it's a very early shot, I just wanted to post something to show that I'm not dead and along with the question re: the wind sound. This is the first chance I've had to map in months.

haha Shambler.
