spry.bsp was an awesome Deathmatch map in the Quake II-based game SiN. It basically was like all blowup maps, in this case a huge living room, with a mousetrap serving as jumppad. If done right, and with much more attention to detail than what nukcake shows at this moment, such maps can be awesome.

Tremulous causes that effect when running in 16bit here.

Yeah, stupid nvidia driver only gets good FPS in 16 bit mode. I tried 24bit, it cut my FPS in half.

32 bit is usually faster than 24 bit due to the nature of the math and the registers involved.

24-bit color is the same thing as 32-bit color(32-bit color is actually 24-bit color).

Your mistaking display colour depth for gpu colour math.

Heh, you're right. Sorry about that.

And laggy....ie alot of people get FPS issues in large open maps like mine, hence why i didnt show more detail, oh and btw ive never played SiN, or even heard of that map, my ideas came from the movie 'toy story' and 'toy soldiers'

Some new textures I've been working on:

Almost all textures in these shots are mine, and will be released under cc-by-sa sometime soon for possible use in trem
They'll be mostly 512, and will have normal/bump maps, and possibly specular if I get enthusiastic.


(The vines are from Sock)

(Cables: evillair)


The map itself is just a quickie 1-week asylum-themed map for Urban Terror.

And this is me having fun with the asylum theme:



<3 creepy clown cutouts 

[Knowitall66]

Looks awesome TRaK, good job.

[Amanieu]

That last pic reminds me of Mario

[your face]

Oooh, TRaK has been playing Bioshock lately!

[mooseberry]

Actually I'd say the last photo reminds me more of little big planet than any other game.    Good work overall!

[mooseberry]

Crap, stupid internet always picks the best times to lag out.

[Syntac]

Are asylums always that creepy?

* Syntac is scared

[Lava Croft]

Of course, those screenshots look the most like Blood's Fun Fair level.

[your face]

uhm, whar did lava go btw O:

[techhead]

One thousand posts here
I so love this awesome thread
Lets keep it going

[Kaleo]

The textures are TRaKs "TRaK3" set, and the skybox is Soc's "Graveyard" skybox.

These are basically to show that I'm mapping again, but not for Trem, because I prefer mapping for Q3.

[Asvarox]

What's taht strange line there? And quake3 forums would like this screenie more

[Kaleo]

The strange skybox line? I don't know. Ask Soc; it's his skybox.

Also, as for posting it on Q3 forums, no. And I'm going to submit it into ..::LvL once I'm done.

My new map INVASION

[mooseberry]

eew, looks like Halo.

But good work nonetheless.

[Hendrich]

eew, looks like Halo.

Or the ugly Quake version of Halo.

But, saying that, this isn't Halo, and I have no right to even say something like that, because I could never make a map like this. And it takes balls to make a map in this proprotion. Tress, tubes, fortress like base, water, Zyrion-like architexture, I love it. It really pushes the limits of what other mappers tend to do, it might need a few fixes here and there, but it looks great.

I think I'll play Tremulous right now to test this nifty map gameplay-wise, if its out that is. Where is the file for this map nubcake(Yum, nubcake.)? Or, where is the server hosting it?

[amz181]

it looks really nice, but change the tube texture, it looks blurred.

[Archangel]

haha that's really good looking! i like it!

Unfortunately I cant more detail to the map as im getting 50fps@1024x768 (on a shitty laptop with built in 64mb gfx card mind you) and I really want the map to be playable by all. ATM the map is still Alpha, so there is no release sorry I hope it will be done by next week

Need to do:
Wind blowing ambience
Water effects (blue blur underwater)
Water sound
Alien robot sounds (cannon sounds/machinery)
New sky (im thinking stormy clouds or a sunset with red sunlight glow)
More lighting

it looks really nice, but change the tube texture, it looks blurred.

Ok, ill see what other options i have

BTW this is my "low end" edition. Ill be releasing 2 versions of this map, one with alot more trees/wildlife/detail (for example the bridge pylons will be alot more detailed with wires, lights 3d) and this map. That way if people cant play, or server ops decide the 'high end' version is too unplayable for too many of there players they may opt for the "low end" which is the map shown below

I don't like banks of the river (especially at 4th screenshot). You might also want to try Sock's terrain tutorial

thats strange, that was one of the things i liked.

Don't try that until you've tried making your own shaders from scratch. You'll understand it a lot better.

[techhead]

Actually, it did remind me of "Hang 'Em High".
Video tour of the level

[Kaleo]

It looks a little open (and too Halo'y) to be an effective Trem map. It could, however, make a decent Q3 map.

Thanks for the link Ive just implemented alpha shading into the grass/rocks/waterbed. Im going to try some phong shading on the banks now Ill post updated pics tommorow
