good job stealing my texture set that i just spent ages porting into a trem-friendly shader

Don't be mad just because he can make it look better than yours.

also I posted it here for everyone's benefit.

[CATAHA]

Im calm. =}
And ye, it have shader only for q4. And some source images dsnt fit q3 and need to be replaced (some glow maps).

UPD: She, ffs. >.<' Im here years already, and posting not so rarely, lol. And ye, im calm. =)

CATAHA is a WOMAN not a MAN. Like STEELY but not.

door is going into brush D:

[c4]

Right -- I'll fix that.  What should I do in particular to remedy this?

[CATAHA]

Make channels where door sliding in floor and celling for example. Or just apply different texture to show places on which door sliding )

[CATAHA]

Another simple boxish sketch using same texture set. Server room? =)

Is that released anywhere with asset specifically for Q3 or am I going to have to get off my lazy butt and write some more shaders?

[CATAHA]

Seems its very possible will be map. I like set and still trying play with it. If you dont wanna w8 for map - just use simple shaders like:

  qer_editorimage textures/temp/pannel.tga
  q3map_surfacelight 50
  {
    map textures/temp/pannel.tga
  }
  {
    map $lightmap
    blendfunc filter
    tcGen lightmap
  }
  {
    map textures/temp/pannel_blend.tga
    blendfunc add
  }

75% all i need is the upcoming gameplay test, and the detailing (it is supposed to be a small map)

[c4]

without detail, it can't be 75%.

[CATAHA]

Hallways seems too straight and too long.

[CATAHA]

Seems you still have same problem with doors. Door is hiding into wall. Try make holes in walls for door to slide. For example:
1. Door (open direction - up)
2. Wall guideway hole
3. Small space for bottom side of door. Germetic lock? )

so many epic maps! Maybe if i TRIED i can do this...

they all look so epic!

screw .particle systems for now. im going to go map.

I remember being 12 (Quite recently), and I recall that something I lacked back then was patience.  Maybe it's generic, and that you need a certain level of patience to create a highly well designed map.

[swamp-cecil]

maybe....my brother seems to have more patience in mapping but he sucks so much its jokes xD

Or a high degree of motivation.

i'm trying to send this off as a preview, because i want to work on an overall larger project than this.

Then its the type of map not worth releasing.

[Tamaru]

sorry, almighty father of mapping, you are sooo much more superior....

i will bow down to you and kiss your feet instead of releasing the map.

[c4]

Bend overrrrr

Ok.  I scrapped the door and made a nice looking bunker doorway.  crit plz.

[CATAHA]

Ye, you got the idea! Thats exactly what u need. But where is the door? Dont forget, u need to make illusion of properly placed and working door. So u need that holes where door hiding into. Make them way to avoid views that your door hiding in the wall. But except absent door all looks great!
If you making just doorway without door dont forget that it should look realistic too. Doorways with place for door but without door looking strange.

Some More Hallway Work.

[Silence]

I liked it with the door better.

[CorSair]

This is my another map I'm making. It's "professional" map, meant to test my mapping skills (own shaders, particles etc.) texture work and maybe little bit of playability (or none).

Yeah, it is bare as hell, but I'm currently lacking ideas to fill my room. Or actually, missing bit of original theme. Maybe I can catch my inspiration later.

Feel free to give (almost any) comments of my work so far. Constructive criticism is the best, if I want make better maps.
