Random Dev. Shots

[Rocinante]

Troy:

That looks very nice.  But one question, since I'm too lazy to open the game and check - is fog something that can be turned off on the client?  I know in other games it is, and I've not seen much of it in Trem to bother taking notice if it's an option.  That would make the "jettard with MD goes high in fog, nobody can see him while he kills" possible even without an aimbot

[Lava Croft]

No, fog cannot be turned off in Quake3.

[X-20]

No, fog cannot be turned off in Quake3.

Which is kinda my point.. it could make problems.

[Troy1]

Well, as for AB jettards, it will be an easy thing to spot by admins. So not a big deal. The map is experimental, just looking at atmosphere creation and fog effect on the balance. The most common thing on that map when it was played (its an early alpha, not releasing it) was goon sniping and lucy bombardment, when jet flies up high and just randomly drops his payload on the alien base.

As for the final thing I am going to be doing is simply a ground-underground map, something along the lines of Siberia/Antarctica human base, with surface looking like that and normal underground base.

Thanks for feedback That map sometimes appears on R Unlimited.

Darn. So now there's no way I can play Uncreation. :p I thought it was r_showfog, or something. I'm not sure, probably not. Can't you turn shaders off, though? If not, my dislike of the idtech3 engine is growing every day.

[X-20]

I need a quick pick of opinion here... you se im making a washroom for my new map but i want to know which of my texture/custom texture combinations look the best, And i am switching out the ceiling lights in all of the screenies.. they look horrible to me, i just got them up as pretex. Also one other question.. Could i maybe release texture packs? its just a idea but i think it would be nice if you can... i make textures/have alot of custom ones,  Thanks.

Before

and the green stuffs slick.
After combination #1

After combination #2 (final)

Well thats that.. anyway all of your maps are looking good so far
(any suggestions/comments on the grid layout for gameplay welcomed)
(and yes.. i am going to block the range of view more for aliens)

[TRaK]

I like the floor in the first one, the walls in the second.

The other two floor textures are too busy.

So... Make the floors the white but keep the walls?

Yeah, that'd look good.

Quotespam YAY! anyway... like this? i toned down the white floor a lil bit so it doesnt blind your eyes out which i found out in a private test (me and my friends/few other people constantly test this map thru development stages)
anyway.. Like this?

And heres a pic of the outdoor human starting area, Also whats the differance between weapclip missleclip and fullclip?

Hold hope for me? :>

[Kaleo]

I finally got Radiant working on Windows, and started a new map this morning...

Looking out from one of the corridors:


The Human base (subject to change):


The corridor with stairs:


The afore mentioned stairs:


And for my enjoyment:


Hope you like the looks of it, and Lava, they aint no hollowed cubes...

[X-20]

and Lava, they aint no hollowed cubes...

Lolled.. anyway it looks nice

[Odin]

Kaleo: Reminds me of an older project of mine.

[Kaleo]

Coming from Odin, I'm gonna take that as a compliment.

[Lava Croft]

Awwww, Sokolov's Space!

'A tear falls from my cheek, come to be an ocean in the middle of the week.

[Kaleo]

Sokolov was a bitchin' map, if somewhat unbalanced.

Hey Lava, you're gonna fix it up before 1.2 right?


Right???

[kaziorvb]

some progress on my map for surv's map competition

(the egg and the node are just temporary >_>)







btw these shots may look very dark, but the map actually isnt

[your face]

looks kiiinda like karith!

[Odin]

kaziorvb: Yes it is that dark. Tremulous takes screenshots at 1.0 gamma. You should light the map enough for the default gamma value which is what most people use.

[E-Mxp]

NICE, Looks awesome!! Keep up the good work!

[Survivor]

Most people use values between 1.2 and 1.6 gamma iirc. Actual poll material I guess since it's useful for mappers.

[kaziorvb]

i aint gonna light my map for 1.0, but for about 1.6, since as surv said - its the most common setting (i use value around it too) and to prevent it from running out of colours at higher gamma values (so the 'middle' one is the best choice imo). anyway - you will see when ill release it

[Taiyo.uk]

Nice work kaziorvb!

[TRaK]

The problem is, if mappers make a map that has playable lighting at r_gamma 1, it usually ends up looking awful at the higher gamma values the players need for other maps. I usually try to make the map have borderline playable lighting at r_gamma 1, but my maps are usually optimized for r_gamma 1.5, which is what I usually use.

[Odin]

Just use -gamma 1.2 to increase gamma on lightmaps.

[Plague Bringer]

Pre-release screenshots of Ancient! (By pre-release I mean five minutes before)

[TRaK]

Erm...

Why put the same screenie three times?

[kaziorvb]

actually, these are not same screenies (look at the stairway)

[Taiyo.uk]

Ok, why three shots of the same door in different positions?

[kaziorvb]

one more from me



im finally finishing it
