What's your favorite radio station?

The Prodding Joke was two days ago; time to move on. 

...not youre assertivity...
although now I don't know about which subject we're talking.
Let's say screenshots...

and don't miss the func_trains.... 

Not sure if we were in a flame war or not -- I'm confused about it actually, but in case we were, meh apologises.

What are your plans for the astroid or lunar creations? 

A couple of shots from a smallish map I'm making. It's something of test run for me of newer engine features - replacement textures at .5 scale, coloured lighting etc. Shots taken in Fitzquake. Ignore the tree.

that rocks! :) 

if a bit plain, but that's some of the much better colored lighting I've seen implemented in q1. 

can I kill you ? 

looks absolutely stunning glassman. I've always been a fan of your maps. keep up the good work! 

there something in the water around here? everyone has nice looking maps lately. 

Really nice screenshots... congratulations !! 

that does, indeed, rock

Nice lighting, very soft and moody. Half-timbering is great. 

Nice, but I think you need to pick either contrasty textures or contrasty lighting - together they're a bit overwhelming. 

Poster art quality. 

Glad you like them.

Maj, it's late afternoon, low, bright sunshine, dark faintly blue shadows or maybe I boosted the contrast a bit too much in PS.

I'm gratified that nobody seems too phased by the custom engine stuff. I'm not sure if the map will end up being playable in the standard quakes due to the large size of the textures which, anyway, look crappy in the quake palette. I'm aiming at Fitzquake; my only regret is that there isn't a s/w engine that does external textures. 

i'm phased actually, but i sincerely hope the map will be fitzquake ready when it's done :)

(/me still hates colored lites in quake) 

I put that badly - it will definitely be fine in fitzquake which does support external textures (although not on models or sprites unfortunately), skyboxes & coloured lighting; it's the original glquake & winquake that may not work.

Coloured lighting will be as tasteful as possible :) - I think it looks okay with 24-bit textures and you can always remove the .lit file if offended. 

:D

"...if offended" sounds exatly like i feel every time i see colored lite blasphemy :D 

Just a few questions, what is your level editor ?? I'm currently using QuArK, with something like your features (i.e <quote> replacement textures at .5 scale, coloured lighting, <quote> etc..) and my map seems not to be as good as yours... Or did you make some modifications on your screenshots ??? 

I don't have much of a problem with the lighting (although the first shot could do with a bit more radiosity down low). It's just the high contrast textures in the first shot tend to overwhelm it and reduce the impact. Our lead artist backs me up too ;P. Then again, maybe it looks different in-game. 

I'm using gtkradiant 1.4. I just increased the brightness & contrast of the shots as the histograms were almost entirely in the 0-128 area. 

I'm putting this on the back burner so here are some screenshots.

I think you meant to say "I'm not going to finish this, so I'm just going to tease you and make you hate me." 

that's exactly what I meant to say 

I love seeing new geometry with classic textures. 

" I'm gratified that nobody seems too phased by the custom engine stuff."

Well I prefer as plain as I can have with Quake (but I'm using Fitzquake for its built-in gamma support) so... but those shots do look nice.
