thks Than u rock! petty i already have to many textures in my map :\

cheers

Trinca 

I went in there, and was the only one there. Not even a bot. I am so sad. 

I can't use the net at home, and can't use IRC at work, so I won't be in there for a few weeks at least. Once the net is sorted out, I will join.

Had a few days break from mapping, but will probably resume at the weekend :) 

now my base map becomes 6Mb and I am using the extras_p4 mod. I added a hiprotate.qc and a earthquake.qc as well as my newboss.qc

I wondered if this map could fit in the basepak as the use of the Quothpak seems to be the final option? 

some more pics

najs... is that weird computer thingy underwater? It's cool in it's construction, I think you've really made big improvements as a mapper. 

I like that last shot a lot. Geometry and texture line up is quite effective there. 

Looks a bit like SoA episode 1 -- and that's a good thing! 

thks guys! i think i progress a lot in this last part of map! :\ but now it looks like was other mapper that did area after silver key :) must rebuild the others area to :\ or will look like were two mappers working in this map and isn�t true!!!

Bambuz, JPL and HeadThump gave me real good advices thks guys for all the help!!!

P.S--> Bambuz go map to Q1 you lazy bitch! :) 

lol was at my partner of work, computer! :\ 

Looking cool. Like the underwater computer that others pointed out.

Some suggestions:


SHOT1
try raising the height of the plain textured part of the ceiling and making sure it isn't as brightly lit. I think it will make the room feel a bit bigger, and also should improve the look of the ceiling. Also, consider putting a lip around the hole in the ceiling so that it doesn't just blend into the plain textured part.

SHOT2
Looks cool :D

SHOT3
I just think the inside of the pipe could use more detail. Perhaps makethe parts where you have the lights stick inwards a little bit to get some more shape. I can't explain it very easily - sorry :/ Perhaps also think about making the bend in the pipe have a small 45 degree bevel on the inside too - and again, lighgting looks a little plain - maybe it's joequake that is doing it, but try putting a light entity where each visible light is (in addition to what you already have) and set the brightness to 400 and attenuation ("wait" key) to 8 or so. It should give you nice highlights around the actual lightsources, which should make the lighting more interesting.

Keep up the good work :)

btw, I can't use my usb drive at work any more thanks to a security crackdown, so I can't bring in screenshots from home to upload. Basically, I can't show you what I've been up to with my level of late (not much :) 

Try emailing stuff to your work address as attachments. 

inertia how is slipsp1 going? :) 

Screenshots are good, you're making progress.

My map suffers hard from HOM's.
Had to go back halfway to improve the brushes. 

Nice work: you really made real improvements regarding your previous releases... As I told you (during your scampie blues...) you would have made a big mistake stopping mapping qt this time... Furthermore after reading the few comments above, I now conviced that you are not a newbi any more, even if all can be perfected... In anyway: Keep it up !! 8D

BTW, I think I will be ready for Xmas... with a smaller map than I was expecting... Unfortunately, my map will not be based on Quoth pack... Sorry for this... but I think the result is quite cool... I'll post screenshots later on... 

I read my post, and it is full of typos... Too much beer tonight.. Maybe I would have posted it on the drunk thread.. doh !!! :P 

zomg :) thks ;)

JPL u can get drunk with beer? :) i have to drink a lotttttttttttttttt 

I'm very sober since 3 or 4 years.. so with only 1 beer, I already feel the drunkiness coming.... 

heheh :) i start getting drunk after 8 or 10 :\ 

do not talk of the monolith before it is deployed 

Drunkiness is over... Here are some very early screenshots from my Base map... I hope to finish it in the delay, for Xmas... It remains the ultimate room to build, located just after the GK Door actually, where the last big figth will take place..

Please feel free to comment ;) 

very interesting. looks clean... would like to test it in the engine to get the feel of the scale. 

I had to ramp up the brightness on my monitor to see the pics. Quake engines darken screenshots too much. Once that was done, the lighting brings out the brush work. Laser beam looks intense in BTH4. 

looks very evil!!! :) and that is good ;) can wait to get my hands on that :p
