Wow, what a beautiful base ! Very interesting ! I like all these "technics details", and the use of the ID base testures is really good !! Even if I think lightning effects could be improved just adding a little bit more contrast (i.e light too 'flat', not enough shadow here and there,... but it's my humble opinion of rookie mapper
Your base maps are enviably sexy as always, but weren't the last two maps from you the very same style?
I'll still play it when it's done, but I would kill to see you experiment. Biff: its great, nice to see some strong style and originality in the era of SPOG/CZG ripoffs and 'old skool'... except the ID base - could you use any other textures?
I hope to finish it sometime before the next decade, yes. Currently it's in a state of flux, since I have been rebuilding some areas to improve VIS-friendliness and overall flow, if possible. I get too carried away with the details, and make stuff that gets too impractical (being the shallow bastard that I am), but hope to mend my ways =D
Yes Phait I am alive, and hope to get all of my current mapping projects at the gallery site, and at least be able to keep things posted that way (Thanks for the site praise, 'Thump, but I just DLed the code from sourceforge.net -- will be tinkering with the look of it soon). I do agree with you about the lighting JPLambert, the lighting has been rushed as I have been more interested in the brushwork and just let the lights go for the time being (not to mention a lot of the texture placement), but will certainly tweak everything soon enough. Lun (and Speedy, I'm guessing), as usual you're right -- I had been playing with some medieval-themed stuff, but it has bled over into other projects and other games (more about that soon, if things work out). My other idbase stuff fell short of my own expectations though, and I hope Myrmidon will be what I've always wanted to build since I first tinkered with Deathmatch Maker so long ago ;D BTW thanks a heap, Tyrann -- good to hear from a fellow BASE_EMBRACER ;D ...the guts of this mapper. Even a hard drive meltdown hasn't stopped the vision.
HuG you biff! First, my inspiration. It's a temple in Durbar Square of Kathmandu, Nepal. I've been digging this architectural style lately:

This any better? inspiration: http://img262.imageshack.us/my.php?image=taleju020il.jpg http://img262.imageshack.us/my.php?image=taleju032em.jpg http://img262.imageshack.us/my.php?image=taleju056mb.jpg I love the colors and shapes of this architecture, quake reproduction v1: http://img332.imageshack.us/my.php?image=macnehahra007tl.jpg http://img65.imageshack.us/my.php?image=macnehahra012sa.jpg http://img65.imageshack.us/my.php?image=macnehahra029vf.jpg Kingpin textures. It's a lot larger ingame than I realized in the editor. Didn't see those when you posted in #tf, but they look really neat -- and Kingpin textures, w00t!
Yes they are Neh lanterns. And at some point when I feel like it I intend to shift the wooden supports around a bit to make them more randomized and old-looking, right now they're just copy-pasted all the way around.
Thanks guys, now back to working on it for real. Interesting choice, mixing up a little urban blight with monastic order, could prove to be a potent design combo.
BTW. I've spotted several texture packs including Kingpin in this little dark corner of sunet, ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/games/PC/idgames2/planetquake/texmex/textures/
